assistance to tho committee. lie did
not favor consolidation, hut stated
that if there must be a consolidation.
IN his opinion ana in the opinion OF
others TIC had talked WITH the New
England consolidation if it could be
financed would be preferable to any
other that had been suggested. lie
said he could see many advantages of
New England consolidation. and of
course there were Disadvantages

IT, r.. Cummings Of West Paris
asked the question il in the CONSOLE
/ dation the New England system
might not be dominated to some cx-
tent by New York.
Mr.. Whittemore pointed out that
the State Of Maine cannot build
Chinese wall around itself. that it is
entirely dependent on the outside
states, and that lie did not think
Maine can afford to keep out Of n
New England consolidation Of roads,
if that should be decided upon.
Mr. Cummings said that Maine has
no idea Of building Chinese wall
around itself. but that il seemed from
the geographical situation Of the
State that it has largely transporta-
ton problem Of its own.
Mr., Whittemore was questioned as
to the benefits to New England in
consolidation, to which he replied
that the most important thing to us
would be the safety we would get
from our New York and Philadelphia
friends.

with the leading farmers of the var

proposed consolidation OF the rail-
roads of Maine, of New England, or
OF the Eastern part of the country.
Those with whom he had talked were
universally opposed to any large

tation in school, we suggest this:
l knowed man, which he lived in
Jones,
Which Jones is a county of red hills
and stones.
And he lived pretty much by gittin'
of loans,
And his mules was nothin' but skin
and bones,
And his hogs was fiat as his cornbread
pones,
And he had bout thousand acres
O. land.
This man-which his name it was also
Jones
He swore that he'd leave them old
red hills and stones,
Fur he couldn't make nuthin' but yal-
Ierish cotton,
And little o. that; and his fences was
rotten,
And what little corn he had, hit was
boughten,
And dinged eff livin' was in the land.
And the longer he swore the madder
he got,
And he riz and he walked to the sta
bic lot,
And he hollered to Tom to come thar
and hitch
Fur to emigrate somewhar land was
rich,
And to quit rasin' cock-burrs, thistles
and sich,
And waistin' ther time on the cuss-
ed land.
So him and Tom they hitched up the
mules,
Pertestin' that folks was mighty big
fools
That 'ud stay in Georgy ther lifetime
out,
Jest scratching a livin' when all of
'em mought
Git places in Texas whar cotton
would sprout
By the time you could plant it in the
land.
And he driv by house whar man
named Brown
Was livin', not fur from the edge o
town,
And he Jantered Brown fur to buy
his place,
And said that bein' as money was
skace,
And bein' as sheriffs was hard to face,
Two dollars an acre would get the
land.
They closed at dollar and fifty
cents,
And Jones he bought him waggin
and tents,
And loaded his corn, and mis- wimmin,
and truck,
And moved to Texas, which it tuck
His entire pile, with the best of luck,
To git thar and git him little land.
But Brown moved cut on the old
Jones farm,
And he rolled up his breeches and
barred his arms,
And he picked all the rocks from off n
the ground,
An he rooted it up and he plowed il
down,
Then he sowed his corn and wheat
in the land.
