SOUTHERN SYSTEM

SAY ITS OFFICIALS
Claim Only Warrior Issue Is
Rates On Few Comma
dities To Birmingham

According to a statement issued by
@. H. Wilcox, assistant freight traf-
fic manager OF the Southern railway
in the name of Lincoln Green, vice
president in charge of traffic, there
Is mo controversy, misunoerstanding
or lack of cooperation" with regard
to Warrior barge line freight rates.
According to traffic representa-
tives of Warrior port cities, there Is
far from being a complete under
standing as to division of rates On
the Warrior. 1t is claimed that the
commodity rates, about which there
has been divergence of opinion are
important because they affect the
bulk of business geing through Bir-
mingport. 1t is understood that the
Southern wishes the full local rate
over the Ensley Southern, while the
Warrior shippers want the rate over
the Ensley Southern to be governed
by the through mileage from Mobile
and New Orleans to Birmingham.
The statement of Mr.. Green coin
cides with that of the federal man
agement OF the Warrior to effect
that their rate proposal had been &C
copied by the Southern in part and
not in other parts and that they had
resubmitted proposal as to the
rates not acceptable to the Southern.
Mr.. Green says that the Southern
has submitted a revision of the rates
On which the river and rail- carriers
were not in accord. Mr.. Green's
statement submitted through Mr..
wilcox follows:

There is no controversy, misun-

Of divisions of rates.
FOLLOWING a hearing by the inter-
state commerce commission of COM
plant by the barge line management,
the commit sion fixed a basis for the
division Of Joint rates.
Subsequent to the decision of that
commission, the barge line manage
ment made a proposal to the South
ern railway to apply the basis pre-
scribed by the commission. using
certain uniform scale of rates pro-
posed by the carriers in lieu of ex-
listing varying scales. This proposal
was accepted.
1.-THE barge line management pro-
posed. as an exception to the gen.
eral plan which 1t had suggested,
the application of divisions on GER
tai cpmmodities-five in number
via Brningport, allowing the rail
carriers between Birmingport and
points IN Birmingham district very

surveys of reliable engineers. favor
able sites have been found for stor-

auxiliary steam plants for location

in this territory.
Considering Stnte's Interests.
ut has been strongly commended
before the commission, and with
show of much reasoning, that before
any project for the development of
any of this power by piecemeal
should be favorably considered, that
the states attention should be di-
rected to a plan under which all
this potential power might be devel-

good show of reason that for the
commission to grant at this time an
application for development OF
only a small part Of this potential
water power, which does not carry
with 1t any plan for the deve]opme 1t
of all the potential power, might
prejudice the state and the interest
of the public in a development of the
entire plan.
Representation has been made by
| some of the parties in this case that
there Is prospective market for
additional power in this district.
The commission has given this tes-
timony due consideration. We desire
to encourage individual cases of pos

STARTLING FACT
ABOUT COMPLEXION
IS NOW EXPOSED
So Much Has Been Said and
Yet So Little Real Help
Given to Women, That
1t Is No Wonder Their
Complexion Trou-
bles Have Never
Before Been
Solved.

In the winter time so per cent Of ths
people lack the proper amount of the
Natural Oils. which the skin must have
to keep it clear. smooth and lovely. be-
cause the harshness Of winter winds and
weather use up more than the amount of
these oils which the system can supply.
That is the reason it is so trying and
exasperating to keep your complexion
smooth and lovely. In the winter time
especially, unless you do like the thou
sands of girls and women who have found
that by using the famous Black and White
Beauty Creations, they are sure to keep
that girly complexion no matter what
happens.
The way they do is to thoroughly clean
all powder. and accumulated dirt from
the skin with Black and White Cleans
ing cream before going to sleep; then
after cleaning this cream off they rub a
film of the cold Cream over the skin
which is absorbed during the night.
Then in the morning all you have to do
is to protect the skin for the day by
using first the Peroxide Cream before you
put on your face powder. and it will
keep your face looking smooth and
natural without having to put on more
powder every few minutes.

 Blood pointed out the fort at the mouth Of the inner harbor, which was just barely visible above the waving palms on the intervening tongue of
 land. He announced that its arma- ment was less formidable than that of the outer fort, which they had re- duced; but on the other hand, the passage was very much narrower than the Boca Chica, and before they could attempt to make it in any case, they must dispose of those defenscs. He proposed that the French ships should enter the outer harbor, and proceed at once to mbardment. Meanwhile, he would land three hun dred buccaneers and some artillery on the eastern gide of the lagoon, beyond the fragrant garden islands dense with richly bearing fruit trees, and proceed simultaneously to storm the fort in the rear. Thus beset on both sides nf ro of the much stronger outer fort, he did not think the Spaniards would offer a very long resistance Then it
