OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Railroasd Cannot Secure Money f<
Inprovement on. Account Hostile
Legislation.
By James S. McCarthy.
Vashingtn, ). C., May 27.-Sp
cial:-"Within the near future I e:
pect to see soime big railroad plae
in the hands of a receiver, said Co
onel J. W. Hide, of JIcksoniville, Flit
one of the big lumber men of ti
south, at the Raleigh Hotel last evel
mng.
''I do not care to say what 0
name of that road is, but I will si
thMat it has been placed in its presei
condition partially by the campaig
against railroads in general bhiat Ii
been waged by several of the statc
President Roosevelt's attitude It
had considerable to do with discou
aging investnent inl railroads, but
think that most of the mischief h
been caused by the states. They ha
scared people with money to such i
extent that the railroads have a ha:
time gebting money, which they -nei
for development. The Pennsylvan
Railroad has called off $18,000,01
inl improvement inl the vicinity
Pittsbur. The president of a sout
ern road told me that lie had spe
many sleepless nights in an effort
secure a loan of $10,000,000. The pri
of the railroad tics my firm suppli
has fallen off $6 per thouisaId i(1uri
the last six months. The business
the country is from 40 to 60 per ce
greater than the railroads can ta
care of now. How can they extei
thir eqiuipment so as to catch 1
'ith: the Ic demands of traffic, if t
ioney to make it possible is scar
way? We are particularly intere.
eU in the south because we do ut
,yant any setiback a,t this time. Wit
out a panic the south will be eontire
independent within three or fo
years. A's it is, the people of th
section have more money than th
ever had before. It seems, howev<
that we have been goyng too fa
and that some sort of ia depressi.
will come in the near future. N
should acel)t the warnings that ha
been given and prepare for it.''
A special dispatch from Linco

''As most of you know, fliat's 2

on't mind saying that I would 11
o tirade it off until the JTamestoa

''If we couild have a set of expi

t. witi a smirk on his face. Then he
te hanmered it in. 'The Smith family
1- has the right of way here,' he con
tinued, and 'specially John.'
10 ''Ordinarily I'in pretty quick on

n handed out another:

I was at the bat. I won't delay the
sgamie, gentlemen. by quoting my OwNl
Words, but when I was through the
exerescenee behind the counter vhs
sneaking away as if lie had squatted
on the hot end of an evicted hornet.
In spite of apologies by the landlord
f I walked out of that taArn and put
up- ill) at a boarding house where they
don't keep books.
to ''The next day I dropped in at the
cc tele.-raph office and asked it' there

at a hat on the sidewalk on April 1.

11) down a bundle of old letters to elinch

d '' 'I am John Smith,' I said, with
;t- the words underscored, 'and I don't
ot want any funny business.'
h.- ''The man at the window handed
ly out four wires to my address and
ur said in a quiet way that was rather
at soothing:
y ''I reckon you are John Smith all

)In twelfth went out jest ahead of you.'
Te ''I thought it was time for me to

anticipated trouble, I said:
