We have for a long time thought that tiiH railro, ds wo ild have more friends among the people if ’Uey would adopt a broader nusiuess me thod and try to give eve ybody the worth of their money rather than to try to give them as little as pos sible. The railroads give competing points cheap freight rates to the detriment of points where tin re is no competi tion. thus forcing money out of the pockets of people who are compelled no patronize them because they have no other resourse. and thus taking advantage of people op the part of the railroads simply because they have it within their power to do so naturally makes enemies for the railroad; whereas, if the. would be fair and charge all alike, it would encourage business in the town where there are no competing rail- But Mr. Wood so strikingly sets c £M ea 1 d v , er - there was not a moment 1 that the Play lagged in interest, orth the matter that we quote from a -pj )e heroes were applauded and the Walter I teachers.

A, Wood, of the firm of Har vey & Wood, hotelists. has conceived a splendid idea, that of developing an automobi'e road from Washington to fhe Gulf of .Mexico Messrs Harvey & Wood are managers of five mag nificent. hotels, among them being the Piedmont, of Atlanta, and the Selwyn. of Charlotte. The Selwyan is a new hotel one of the most elaborate in the South, and it is the purpose of the managers to cater particularly to that class of patrons who support or’” the best of hotels. WHth this idea in view Mr. Wood conceived the idea of establishing an automobile line that would be attractive to the thousands of wealthy automobile owners of the North and have,them 00m< ; South in their auto touting cars. Aside from the fact that the visit c' such people to this s°ction would benefit the hotels it would benefit the entire s cMon through which such a line would pass. Auto tourin® - cars consume gasolene or other fuel and they cannot carry enough to run them for an entire day. They must ston and buy fuel. In every town i where they would stop to buy fuel the cha’ are that they would buy something else. Thev must also stop If the story be true that Senator Tillman is to receive $43,000 for lecturing this summer it certinly de monstrates the truth of P. T.

He was a little squatty, popeyed negro man. half idiotic, but harmless. His w-as a fa miliar figure about Gaffney. He cut wood and did chores for a liveli hood. living with and serving several negro families the most of his life. He was attacked with pneumonia 'ast week and turned out of the home (?) he had. He lingered about the lime kiln fires until taken in hand by the authorities who secured a place for him in the home of Bill Petty. He lingered until Monday w’hen death came. The darkies took bis remains to Limestone church and held a wake. and. as one of the sis ters expressed it to a Ledger man.
