The death ot Samuel Spencer, pre* Went of the Southern railway, has drawn from (be pres* of the South encomium* which were given but scantily, during, ills life time. Death Is a great trnnsmutor of Sen tlment; or rather, that phenomenon by which ono Is hurled from time to eternity has the power of Inspiring all with mingled reverence and fear so that U is but human to speak only of the good of him token from the quick to the dead. Dp mortuls nIhAI nisi bonum—a phrase older than our race—I* not a precept or an admonition to conduct; It la blit an expression, of that senti ment all liumnns have in their breasts. ; The one tribute to Samuel Spencer in which all may join is that his llfi has been an example of the success that awaits on brains, tlreloss energy •and Indomitable courage. He arose from tho humblest position in an en gineering corps to the presidency of bne of the greatest railway systems In the world. He worked himself up from the bottom to tho top, unaided, •by anything Have his own brain power' and will power. Thert Is no doubt but that lie was devoted to the upbuilding ot thq south, from whose loins he had sprung. He, perhaps, did more than any one else toward Its Industrial ad vance. It was his fondest hope to see the natural resources of hia home land developed, to make It the most prosperous and the happiest In Amer ica. Samuel Spencer Is reckoned as one ot the greatest of American railway presidents. Because lie transformed deficits into profits. At Its last meeting the board ot trustees of the Southern railway paased this resolution ot appreciation for his work: "Wo congratulate you niton the success achieved In the exten sion and operation of the proper ty which have resulted In nearly doubling the extent of its Hues. • trebling Its gross earnings and In creasing Its net earnings, above fixed charges, over 525 per cent In the period of eleven years which have elapsed since its formation." ! The measure of success In tho ! world of business Is dollars and tier j cent. By the measure of dollars and iter j cent Samuel Spencer made of hla i career one of the greatest of sue-; cesses In this, the day of commercial progress. Ills whole life, his masterful Intel- j lect and hls days aad nights of tra- vall were devoted to thejutereats of hls employers. In hls fidelity to the owners of the ■Southern ami the other railways of > which be was the head, the bruins, ' the intellect, he tightened every screw ■ In the work of creating profits. Hls ever. - move was for the creu- Mon of dividends, Kconomy was hls watchword. "Reduce expenses" was the slogan j of hi* administration. So it waa that the death-roll of the Southern has been one of the moat terrible In the lilxfwry of America's “AN ARCADY WHERE THINGS ARE CHEAP.” (Editorial Correspondence by John Temple Graves.) I have found me at last, an arcady where things you need are cheap. Fayetteville fa the Athens of Arkansas. It fa In the heart of the Ozark mountalnsl "The university of the state Is here. There arc 1,300 students upon Its rolls. And eggs sell here for 15c a dozen In the market aud the saving housekeeper can buy perfectly fresh eggs a little too much cracked for shipment at 8c a dozen every day, * - flood beefsteak front the surrounding farms Is brought to your door for 5c a pomul and sold In the city stalls for ten cents and twelve. You can hire a single team for an afternoon for a dollar, and wood 1s still In reach of the shivering at the old-fashioned and Christian price of 91.73 per cord. It may be that things are produced cheaper In the Ozarks than any ' where else In the world, or It may lie that tho raving fashion of high prices has not yet permeated to these honest and considerate fastnesses of the great hills where people live and let other people live without gouging and extortion. • , It seema to be a fact that .where the means of "the people are known. to he moderate the prices of commodities have not advanced and are rea sonably held down. But It Is undoubtedly true that wherever prosperity ubides and fa ex ploited In press snd public voices, that the people who soil, crowd on the scale of prices to the last limit yvlileh they think a prosperous people can and will endure. , One of the brightest of drummers told me the other day In Paris.! Texas, that hls trade was simply great in Texas, "but,” said he, "It Is nothing to the profits the merchants make out of my goods. One of the very best department stores In Texas,” said he, “Is In Paris. I am selling this year n class of silk worsteds made by luy house In Jamestown, N. Y. I am able to put it Into the hands of these merchants at 57c a yard. Heretofore upon this price tho merchant I sjieak of—and he fa one of the,' moat reputable In Texas—has been accustomed to mark's selling price of' 93c and 95c a yard,’and reckons that an excellent profit. Thfa year when. I made by first sale of these goods to him at 67 cents, I was slmplj- amazed to see him mark them for sale over hla counters at $1.60 a yard! ' Three weeks later he told me the whole lot had gone like hot cakes, and he has given me three orders since which fie has sold at the same price.? When I joked him about It, he simply said: " ‘Well, thfa fa onr harvest season and we must make hay while the sun shines. While the people nro rich we must pile on them all they will stand, and make out of them all weean. When hard times come we will have to sell them cheap enough.' " The same merchant fa selling from Ills millinery department hats for $25 that he used to sell at $c, and is displaying on hls counter* ready made suits for ladles upon which he unhlushlngly makes a selling price of $135, when five years ago he would have'btfon glad to get $50 ftlr any of them. And all this enormous Increase Is justified in the ndnd of this repu table merchant upon the theory that the |>eople have got plenty of money and that they must, get It now to compensate them for the small margins of the hard times that are sure to copie back spmo day. Is thfa foundation well assumed? fs money as plentiful as the mer chant believes? .. , , : . t , It may lie true’ In'the case of those who are themselves producers and have things to sell. The; manufacturer, the farmer,' the stockholder all Imre bulging pockets now. But what of tho employee,.the salaried man working for wages month liy month? In tho majority of cases hls wages have not been advanced, niul he gets no more money In prosiwrous times than In ’hard times," as they are called. Incases where great corporations like tho steel trust, tho Pennsylvania rul! road anil a few other great Institu tions havo advanced wages, tho advance haa never gone beyond the lev- "el of a 10 per cent Increase. Now how docs thfa balance against the enormous increase In the price of the commodities and small luxuries of life? There fa not an ar ticle sold over the coiniters or ou the marts today that fa not at least 20 per cent higher than they were five years ago. In many Instances they reach to 50 and 60 per cent, and in the case of the Texas merchant they reach to the great height of 90 aiiu 125 |ier cent! Whoro, then, does Uic.glory of tills prosperity cover like a garment tho vast army of the salaried melt of America? Whoro docs tho sunshine hit these fellows whose wages know no change beyond a possible 10 per cont In raro cases? Suppose a tnau with a family gets $100 a month. Time was when he could have "lived like a lord," comparatively, upon that salary—the time when wood was $2.00 a cord and eggs 15c and 20c a dozen. Suppose ho get* now n 10 per cent advance. Thou with a salary of $110 a month, lie huya wood at $3.75 n cord, eggs at 15e to 60c and every commodity at uu average advance of 8* per cent? The question If the man with $100 a month in hard tlmoa could livo bettor and save more at hard times prices, than he could llvo and lave with $110 at prosperity prices, how much of a song or a psalm fa this mnn expected to sing to the glory of prosperity? I don't know how groat a proportion of our population Is made up of those wage earners and salary makers, but I reckon them nt a pretty considerable number—at least n number largo enough to voice the query whether It fa good policy to lielabor them with high prices until they be- como dissatisfied with prosperity and to make them friends and well wishers to hard times. Well, the longer I llvo and the more I travel the more do I realize, and that gratefully, how much all traveler; are Indebted to tho drum mers. The organized drummer fa the power which really regulates the rail roads, and who really reforms the hotels. , So far as the railroads arc regulated at all to the consideration of the traveling public It fa through the wholesome and aggregate protests of tho commercial traveler. And ns for the hotels, why they wouldn't be habitable but for the peaceful reforms which tho great army of movlug commerce has wrought out. It fa perfectly amazing how really neat and dainty hotels are scattered about In the small towns of tho country to tempt the drum mers for a longer stay and for a stop over on Sunday. They are not all good—God save ns, no! Hut they are Improving and tho good ones are multiplying every where. Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi are full of them. Al abama has a few and they are Increasing every year In Georgia. When ever they are good they are popular and coining money. And wherever you happen on one of them, couple with the fervent grace which you say at dinner a benediction upon the commercial traveler who Is the founder and tho patron of them all.

The number of iiersons killed or In jured on the railroads of America lait year was 92,006. The Southern rail way's share of thfa was out of propor tion to Its relation to the other rail roads. There fa a grim sarcasm la tho trag ic taking off of Samuel Spencer. “A Health to Uncle Remus." As the old saying goes, some are bora great, sonic achieve greatness and wm have greatness thrust upon them. The phrase may now apply In dou ble-barrel fashion to Joel Chandler Harris, the sage of Snap-I>ean farm, at the Sign of the Wren’s Nest. Mr. Harris achieved greatness so long ago that everybody knows about It. Now ft lias been thrust upon him In such fashion that he has been una ble to evade it. The perpetrator caught him in an unexpected quarter and sand-bagged him into a greater fame. The nimblenexs that Uncle Remus showed when the University of Pennsylvania attempted to doctor him with an I.L.D., along with Kaiser Wil helm and President Roosevelt, could not parry this thrust. A 5 cents cigar named for him? Nay. More intent than that. A song has Iteou written about him. A copy of It has just reached tho of fice of The Georgian. It fa called "A Health to Uncle Remits," written by X. Nathan and published by N. Hit- lery & Co.. New York. It I* affection ately dedicated to him on the event of hls birthday, December 9. Inasmuch as the shop does not pos sess a piano and the editorial depart ment fa lacking In ability to whistle a tune, we are nimble to guess what the music sounds like, but If It is up to the sentiment of the verses, "A Health to Uncle Remus" Is going to he mighty impular and we will all join In the finale: "Here's to mirth and laughter that chased away care, "Here's to Uncle Remus, of our Southland so fair."

Says Sherlock Holmes of Man and His Clothes: “I hare often observed,?’ said Slierloek Holmes, “that the man who is careful ot hiB clothes is careful of his business, careful of his reputation, careful in ev erything. Clothes indicate character. A man who can afford to dross well and doesn’t, is weak somewhere and fails to show the proper respect for himself, his family and his associates.” Emmons Clothes are the kind that will make you appear well-dressed. More than that, they will wear well and hold their good shape to the last—the best mate rials, together with hand-tailoring are the guarantee of that part.
