RAPID TRAHSJT
REALIZATION.
At Late Banquet in Chicago on
One Night, and Theater
Partv in New York Next.
Win DEPEW'S TRIP. I
Run from Chicago to New York was
Made in Five Hours Short of
the Schedule Time.
By Associated Press.
New York, Oct. 12.—The Tribune says: j
To attend a banquet in Chicago one night J
and stay until the lights are put out and '
to go to the theatre in New York ihe fol- I
lowing evening i« something out of ihe or- |
dinary run, but that is just what some I
Vanderbilt officials have done.
„ Aside from this departure from the rou- j
tine these railroad officials have been do- ,
ing some remarkable traveling within the <
last five days.
Last Thursday a special train com
posed of tour cars and an engine started
from the Grand Central station at 8:3B in
the morning. The cars were those of i
Chauncey M. Depew. S. R. Callaway.prod- j
dent of the New York Central; President I
■Newman of the Lake Shore and Marvin j
Hugitt, president of the Chicago and;
this train crosed the Mississippi river.
That was a feat in itself, as the running
time of the Central’s fastest limited train I
to Chicago is just 24 hours.
After visiting the Omaha exposition the
party returned to Chicago and there Mr.
Depew made two speeches. After the din
ner of the amilton club in Chicago on
Tuesday night the return trip was made.
Mr. Depew and Mr. Callaway boarded
their cars at 12:30 a. m. (Chicago time)
or 1:30 in the morning (New York time)
and the word was given to the engineer.
At 8:30 o’clock last nighit the train
rolled into the Grand Central station 5
hours short of the 24 hour run.
On the return trip were Chauncey M.
Depew. Samuel R. Callaway, G. Creighton
Webb and two of Mr. Depew’s friends.
The fast time was celebrated by &
theater party here last evening.
Spain’s Greatest Need.
Mr. H. P. Olivia, of Barcelona, Spain,
spends his winters at Aiken, S. C. Weak
nerves had caused severe pains in the back
of his head. On using Electric Bitters,
America’s greatest blood and nerve rem
edy, all pain soon left him. He says this
grand medicine is what his country needs.
All America knows that it cures liver and
kidney trouble, purifies the blood, tones
up the stomach, strengthens the nerves,
puts vim, vigor and new life into every
muscle, nerve and organ of the body. If
w'eak. tired or ailing you need it. Every

LETTERS OF CREDIT
Are Not Subject to so Says the
Commission.
♦ - ■
By AiMKWiated Prees.
Washington. Oct. 12.—The commissioner
of internal revenue has rendered a decis
ion 03 the question of 'he taxability of
mercantile letters of credit.
The commissioner holds that these let
ters are not bills of exchange as there is
no actual draft or order upon any person
for the payment of money, but, rather a
conditional authorization and agreement to
be fulfiled upon the performance of certain
specified conditions which may hot occur,
a foreign bank, but colected through banks
therefore, are not subject to taxation.
In another case the commissioner holds
that checks drawn in a foreign country on
a foreign bank, but colected through banks
in this country, are not subject Jo stamp
tax.%
ADVANCE IN LEATHER
Is Probable on the Part of the United States
Leather Company.
By Associated Press.
New York, Oct. 13. —The Times says:
Officials of the United States Leather
Company refuse to confirm or deny the ru
mor that wdthin a few days owing to lack
of profit in the leather business, it will
endeavor to lower the price of hides and
advance that of leather by closing many, if
not all of its tanneries and dependent in
dustries.
The tanneries* in the east and south
number about one hundred. The price of
hides just now is almost prohibitive. Chi
cago sells at 11 to 12c a pound and South
America at 12% to 16%, while there has
■been an overproduction of leather and its
manufactures.
The leather company several years ago
met a like situation by shutting down for
several months and forced the price of
hides from 13 to 5 cents a pound.
Interest outside of the company are dis
posed to believe that it intends 'to take
prompt and radical action because the con
■dlfions of the leather trade are unfavoable

B. Harrold, of Americus, S. R. Jaques and

the year, at which only routine business
was transacted.
