Samuel Spencer.
The death of Samuel Spencer, pres
ident of the Southern railway, ha*
drawn from the press of the South
encomiums which wero given but
scantily during bis life time.
Death Is a'great transmitter of sen
timent; or rather, that phenomenon
by which one Is hurled from time to
eternity has the power of Insplriug
all with mingled, reveronco and fear
so that It Is but human to speak only
of the good of him taken from the
quick to the dead.
De mortuls nihil nisi bomim—a
phrase older than our race—Is not a
precept or an admonition to conduct:
It Is but an expression of thnt senti
ment all humans havo in their
breasts.
The one tribute to Samuel Spencer
In which all may Join is that* his life
lias been an example of the success
that awaits on brains, tireless energy
•and Indomitable courage. He arose
from the humblest position in an en
gineering corps to the presidency of
one of the greatest railway systems
In the world. He worked himself up
from the bottom to the top, unaided
by anything aarc his own brain power
’and will power.
There Is no doubt but that he was
devoted to the upbuilding of the
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 his home
land developed, to make It the most
prosperous and tho happiest In Amer
ica.
Samuel Spencer Is reckoned as one
of the greatest of American railway
prssldenta.
Because he transformed deficit*
into profits.
At its last meeting the board of
trustees of the Southern railway
passed this resolution of appreciation
for his work:
"We congratulate you upon the
success achieved In tho 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 whlrh
have elapsed since its formaliou."
The measure of success In the |
world of business Is dollars and per j
cent.
Ity the measure of dollars and tier |
cent Samuel S|>enccr mado of his I
career one of the greatest of suc
cesses In this, tho day of commercial
progress.
His whole life, his masterful Intel- j
loot and his days and nights of tra
vail were devoted to the interests of
bis employers.
In his fidelity to the owners of the
Southern and the other railways' of j
which be was the head, the bralus,
the Intellect, he tightened every screw '
In the work of creating profits.
His ever..- move was for the crea- i
Mon of dividends.
Economy was his watchword.
"Reduce ex|ieases" was the slogan
of hla administration.
Ho It was that the death-roll of the
Southern has been one of the most
terrible tn the history of Americans
, "AN AROADY WHERE THINGS ARE CHEAP.”
(Editorial Corresitondenco by John Temple Graves.)
I have found mo at lost an arcudy where things,you need are cheap.'.
Fayetteville Is tho Athens of. Arhaasas. It la tn the heart of the,
' oiiark ’ mountains, jhc imlVersityof the slate I s'bore. There are 1,300
students upon Its rolls.
And oggs sell here for luc a dozan In the market and the saving
housekeeper can buy perfectly fresh eggs a little too much cracked for
shipment at Sc a dozen every day.- ,i
Good Ireefstesk from tho Surrounding (arms la-brought to your door
for 30 a pound and sold In tho'city stalls'for ten cents nnd twelve. You
nan hire a single team for an afternoon for a dollar, and wood Is still In'
reach of the shivering at the old-fashioned and Christian price of $1.75
l>er cord.
It may be that things arc producod cheaper In the Ozarka than any
where else In tho world, or ft may bo that the 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 seems to be a fact that where the means of the people are kuown
to lie moderate the prices of commodities havo not advanced and are rea
sonably held down.
But It Is undoubtedly true that,wherever prosperity abides and Is ex
ploited In press and public voices, that the people who sell, crowd on the
scale of prices to the last limit which they think a prosperous people can
and will endure.
One of the brightest of drummers told me the other day In Paris;.
Texas, that his trade was simply great In Toxas, "hut." said he, “It Is
nothing to tho profits the merchants make out of my goods. One of the
very best department stores fn Texas," said he, "Is In Paris. I am selling
this year a class of silk worsteds made by my house In Jamestown, N. Y.
I mm able tn put it into the hands of these merchants at G7c a yard.
Heretofore upon this price tho merchant I apeak of—and he Is one of the
most reputable ip Texas—has been accustomed to mark a selling price of-
93c and 95c a yard, and reckons that an excellent profit. 'This year when
I made l>y first Bale of these goods to him at 67 cents, I was simply
amazed to gee hint mark them for sale over his counters at $1.60-a yard!-
Three weeks later he told me the whole lot had gnno like hot cakes, and
lie haa given mo three orders since which he has sold at the same price.’
When I Joked him about It. he simply said:
“ ‘Well, this Is our harvest season and wc must make hay while the
sun shines. Whlje the people ore rich we must pile on them nil they will
stand, and make out of them all weean. When hard times como wc will
have to sell them cheap enough.' ”
The same merchant Is selling from his millinery department bats
for $25 that he used to sell at $6, and Is displaying on his counters ready
made suits for ladles upou which he unblushlngly makes a selling prlco
of $125, when flvo years ago ho would have*boon glad.to get $50 for any
of them.
And all this enormous Increase Is Justified In the mind of this repu
table merchant upon the. theory that tbe people havo got plepty of money
and that they must got It now to compensate thorn for tho small margins
of the hard tlmes'that arc sure to come back some day.-'
Is this foundation well assumed? Is money as plentiful as tho mer
chant believes? _ » ■ . I - * .
It may be true In the caao of those who are themselves producers uml
have things to sell. The manufacturer, the farmer, the stockholder
all have bulging pocketa now.
Hut what of the employee, the salaried man working for wages
month hy month? In tho majority of cases his wages havo not lieen
advanced, and he gets no moro money In prosperous times than In
"hard times," as they are called. In cases where great corporations like
the steel trust, the Pennsylvania railroad and n few other great Instllu-
tlona have advanced wages, the advance has never gone beyond the lev
el of a 10 per cent increase.
Now how does this balance against the enormous Increase In the
price of the commodities nnd small luxuries of life? There la not an ar
ticle sold over the counters or on the marts today that Is not at least 20
lier cent higher than they were flvo years ago. In many Instances they
reach to 50 and 60 por cent, and In tho ease of tho Texas merchant they
rdncli to tho great height of 90 and 125 per cent!
Where, then, does the glory of this prosperity cover like a garment tho
vast army of the salaried men of America? Whom docs tho sunshine
hit these fellows whoso wsgos know no change beyond a possible 10 per
cent in rare cages?.* '
Suppose a man with a family gets $100 a month. Time was when ho
could have “lived llko a lord." comparatively, upon that salary—tho tlmo
when wood was $2.00 a cord and eggs 15c nnd 20c n dozen. Suppose ho
gats now a 10 per cent advance. Then with a salary of $110 a month, ho
buys wood at $3.75 n cord, eggs at 45c to 60c and every commodity at an
averago advance of 35 per cont? Tho question If the man with $100 n
month In hard times could llvo better nnd savo more at hard times
prices, than he could live and savo with $110 at prosperity prices, how
much of a song or a psalm Is this man expected to sing to tho glory of
prosperity?
I don't know how groat a proportion of our population Is made-up
of theso wngo earners and salary makers, but I reckon thorn nt a pretty
considerable number—at least a number largo enough to voice tho query
whether It la good poticy to belabor thorn with high prices until they be
come dissatisfied with prosperity and to make them friends and well
wishers to hard times.
Well, the longer I live nnd the more I travel the more do I realize,
and that gratefully, how mnch all travelers are indobted to tho drum
mers.
The organized drummer Is the |>owcr which really regulntos the rail
roads, aud who really reforms the hotels.
So far as the railroads are regulated at all to the consideration of
the traveling public It Is through the wholesome and abrogate protests
of the commercial traveler.
And as for the hotels, why they wouldn’t be habitable, but for the
peaceful reforms which the groat army of inovlug commerce has wrought
out. It Is perfectly amazing how really neat and dainty hotels arc
scattered about In the small towns of tho country tn tempt the drum
mers for a longer stay and for a stop over on Sunday.
They are not all good—God save ns. no!
Ilut they nre Improving and the good ones are multiplying every
where. Texas. Louisians, 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
arace which yon say at dinner a benediction upon the commercial traveler
who Is the founder and the imtron of them all. •

railways. Mortal accidents have been
as the sands of the seashore.
The number of persons killed or In
jured on the railroads of America last
year was 92,000. The Southern rail
way's share of this was out of propor
tion tn Its relation to the other rail
roads.
There Is a grim sarcasm in the trag
ic taking off of Samuel Spencer.
"A Health to Uncle Remus."
As the old saying goes, some are
horn grjgat. some achieve greatness
and some have greatness thrust upon
them.
The phrase may now apply iu dou
ble-barrel fashion to Joel Chandler
Harris, the sage of Snap-bean farm,
at the Sign of the Wren's Nest.
Mr. Harris achieved greatness so
long ago that everybody knows about
It. Now'It has been thrust niton him
In such fashion that tie has been una- j
hie to evade It. The perpetrator |
fame. The nimhlencss that Uncle
Kemua showed when the University of
Pennsylvania attempted to doctor him
with an I.L.D.. along with Kaiser Wil
helm and President nooscvelt, could
not parry this thrust.
A 5 cents cigar named for hint?
Nay.
More intent than that.
A song has been written about him.
A copy of It has Just reached the of.
flee of The Georgian. It is called "A
Health to Uncle lientus," written by
N. Nathan and published by N. Hll-
lery & Co., New York. It Is affection
ately dedicated to him on the event
of his birthday. December 9.
Inasmuch as tho shop docs not pos
sess a piano and the editorial depart
ment is lacking in ability to whistle a
tune, wo are unable to guosa what the
music sounds like, hut if It Is up to
the yentlment of the verses. “A
Health to Uucle Remus" Is going to
lie mighty imptilat- and we will all Join
ill the finale:
"Here's to mirth and laughter that
. . chased away care,
caught him in an unexpected quarter "Here's to Uncle Ilcmtis, of onr
apd sand-bagged 1dm. Into a greater 1 Southland an fair."
