J. M. HIGH CO.

The busiest and baddest “B" In the

Bingham has signed a contract to be

Is J. S. B, Thompson, assistant to the
president of the Southern railway, the sixth
member of the railroad commission?
Or did President W. A. Garrett, of the
Seaboard Air Line, merely mil nt his of
fice Wednesday morn lug to hud out what
that remedy was that Chairman McLendon,
of the railroad commission, said Mr. Thomp
son knew about?
Anyway, Mr. Garrett, with a number of
prominent officials of the Henbonrd, called
at Mr. Tbompsou s oillco Wednesday morn
ing to pay bis fespeets and he sprang u
Joke that Mr. Thompson's chief clerk,
Ernest D. Duncan, didn't immediately
groap. \
President UurPatt entered the office and
when the hnlf dozen or more prouiluent
Seaboard officials trooped lu alter him,
Mr. Duncan's eyes opened with surprise.
"Is Mr. Thompson tui” asked the head
of the Heaboa w.
"No," said Mr. Duucau. "I think you will
find him over at the cnnltol at the office
of the railroad commission."
"No," said President Garrett, "we have
lust called there and he was not there. 1
looked there first, for he la a member of
the railroad commission. Isn't he?" aud
President Garrett's luce was as solemn as
un owl's.
"Er, how's that?" blankly asked Mr. Dun-
tn. •
"That is." replied President Garrett, "wej
understood he was the new'sixth member
of the commission." * <
But one of the party laughed and spoiled
the Joke. However, if President Garrett
wants to know about that much-talked-
about remedy, maybe Mr. Thompson will
tell him.
With President Garrett on this trip of
lnsi>ectlon are T. F. Wblttaiaey, general

president, of Norfolk; II. M. White, super-
