Coast lilno earnings.
The Atlantic Coast Line Company 1
has made a rather better showing c
than other Southern lines this year. 51
This indicated by an increase in the c
gross earnings for four months of
$060,000, of which $">28,000 appears (
as not earnings. The following was '
said recently on behalf of the company.
"Moth of the last two state- '
mcnts of t he A tlanticCoast Line have '
shown II t'ofid linnll liv avnanul?ti In :
I---- *? rs "? * * - - v % \j % i j \ A^(vii<IIV/II iii
gross earnings, a fair proportion of '
which have been devoted to increase |
; expenses, leaving satisfactory net in- *
creases. The stockholders should be *
I satisfied with the progress their company
Is making and the directors seem
justified in the recent increase in the
i dividend." a
Kohhcr Killed.
A daring and fatal attempt to roh J
the l>ank at Dekalb, Texas., was made . t
Dy four men Wednesday morning, t
Over the bank is the local telephone ]

the telephone exchange door and when j
Marvin Dodd responded a pistol was (
presented at Ills head. Young Dodd t
grappled with the man, wrenched the (
weapon from him and with it shot <.

A fusilade followed ami young Dodd i

The company never offered her a

After her husband had been
