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. • Fayetteville, Ark.. Nov. 28. BISHOP WARD DELIVERS THANKSGIVING SERMON ATM. E. CONFERENCE Letter From Sick Bish op Galloway Telling of Improvement. 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." Siieclal to The Georgian. Valdosta, Nov.
