Connie Mack Ceta Award
Philadelphia, Feb. 13. ?- Connie
Mack, veteran manager of the worlrfs
champion Athletics, has received the
1920 Edward W. Bok award presented
annually to the man or woman
who, during the preceding twelve
months, "rendered the most outstanding
service to Philadelphia." The
gift, a $10,000 check inclosed in an
ivory case, a gold medal and a scroll,
was presented last night at a private
dinner at which Mack and 50
prominent citizens were guests of the
board of trustees of the award. Mack,
who had been in Florida awaiting
the beginning of the baseball training
season, made a hurried trip from
the south to receive the honor, heretofore
bestowed upon artists, scientists,
educators and philanthropists.
.Multitudes Die of Famine
Peiping, China, Feb. 15.?Famine
conditions in Shensi province are described
as growing worse each (lay
in dispatches from a special correspondent
at Sianfu, Shensi, to the Vernacular
Newspaper Takung Pao. The
advices paint pictures of conditions
which are unprecedented, due "to the
natural calamities and civil wars of
recent years."
"Indeed," the report continues, "the
day is not far distant when there will
not be a single soul in the province
where famine stalked for four long
years."
Scenes of utter desolation everywhere
are described. Entire fields
are covered with bodies of those who
have died of starvation, those in the
I more humble walks of life finding
death just as those of more exalted
stations.

The building of the Petersburg
Railroad was followed by a great increase
in the trade of the City of
Petersburg and by the development
of the sections it served.
The early railroad builders had
plenty of trouble. Hardly was the
Petersburg road completed before the
light strap iron began to break under
the strain of traffic. The locomotives
were built to haul,only light
loads and in order to take care of the
business they either had to be run
faster than had been originally intended,
or to make more trips than
had been planned. The result was
that a large part of the net earnings
of the railroad had to be apent
t i' new iron and heavier locomotives
instead of k.ng distributed as divide

In 1Mb the trip from Montgomery.
Alabama, to Baltimore over this route
required a full week, which was considered
a remarkably short time for
the journey.
During the War between the States
the Petersburg Railroad, the Wilmington
and Weldon and the Richmond
and Petersburg were vitally
important to the cause of the Confederacy
because they connected Wilmington,
the principal port open to
blockade runners that brought supplies
and munition to Lee's tattered
forces, with Richmond, the capitol of
the Confederacy. These three railroads
became the "bread line of the
Confederacy," and were essential to
the operations of the armies of the
South in Virginia. Many raids were
made by Federal forces to cut this
.ine, and the ruins of forts erectei
to protect strategic points can still
U- seen along the Atlantic Coast
Line.
After the Wer between the States
far-seeing Baltimore business men
acquired controlling interests in the
three roads, together with other railroads
in North and South Carolina.
At that time the "Atlantic Coast
Line" was the designation of the
r' > u t e followed by those railroads,
which retained their corporate identitie
hut which were operated under
fe direction of a common manageno
*. In .i-pno. however, they were

Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis
and other lines and has a lease hold
interest in the Western Railway of
Alabama. These railroads in connection
with the Atlantic Coast Lin?
have a total of approximately 14,480
miles of line.
The Atlantic Coast Line is also interested
in the Peninsula and Occidental
Steamship Company which oppany,
operating steamers between
Port Tampa, Key West and Havana,
and the Chesapeake Steamship Company,
operating setamers between
Baltimore and Norfolk, Richmond and
West Point, Va. Indirectly it is interested
in Pan-American Airways,
Inc. Its trains furnish connections
at Miami with planes of this company
for Havana, San Juan and
other points in the West Indies as
well as to Mexico, the Canal Zone
and South America.
Thus from a fifty-nine mile railroad,
chartered one hundred years
ago, has grown one of the largest
and most important transportation
systems of the country.
The main line of the Atlantic
Coast Line from Richmond to Jack- |
sonville is double tracked, laid with 1
heavy steel and ballasted with crushed

One hundred ytav- ago the farsighted
founders of the Petersburg
Railroad foresaw th- eventual development
of a "Great Highway of the
Union" that would connect the North
and the South and provide a quiek
and dependable means of carrying on
the trade and communication of the
two sections. Their enthusiasm and
optimism have been more than justified
by the growth of the Atlantic ,
Coast Line from the little fifty-nine
mile Petersburg Railroad.

about your next I
i Corn Crop?
\ j
THERE is a way to make it the best
crop you ever grew. No magic. No
mystery. Simply fertilize it with Chilrcan
Nitrate of Soda. That is the way,
corn champions produce those winning
crops. j
South Corottno Fot nw Soys 2 1
"We have used on oar own farms, and recommended
to our customers for the past SO
years, Chilean Nitrate of Soda for corn* "v \
small grains of all kinds, and cotton. It is a
quick, dependable source of ammonia for
all crops."
C. Ray Smith, The Chas. A. Smith Co^
Timmohsville, S. C.
Chilean Nitrate is not synthetic. It is --natural?the
world's only natural ni*
trate fertilizer. As a side dressing on
corn it increases the yield . . . often
doubles it. Larger ears. More ears to
the stalk. Prevents "firing" too.
