local lumbermen Take
issue With Commis
sioners McLendon
The article on the car situation by
Col. p. Cf. McLendon, appearing
simultaneously In the Tlmos-Enter-
1-rie and the Atlanta Journal has
created much comment In Thomas-
rllle and elsewhere. The Journal
had a leading editorial 8nnday morn*

on what Is termed "the refusal of
the railroads to give the public bet-
HER CHILD
Moles, Scared By Auto,
Dash Down Broad
Street.
Yesterday ' morning Broad street
while crowded with Vehicles and
pedistrains waB the scene of an ex
citing runaway, which would have
resulted seriously but for-the brav
ery of Mrs. Mary White.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry White, prbm-
inent residents of the Meigs dis
trict had driven a team of mules to
town. The purpose of their coming
I was to place their little daughter
t „ I iu the McIntosh Sanitarium. The
ter service. The lumbermen of chlw la vory m , and was , n a pn l-
Thomasvllle were much Interested
In the article and discussed it at
length. Their opinion seems to be
that the Colonel has not struck the
key note of the situation. They say
the growth of business has been
ouch that the railroads cannot keep
up with the demand, and that the
lnmber supply is Inadequate. In
short they say that- the railroads
simply have not got the cars and
cannot get them.
In an Interview with a Ttmes-En-
terprise reporter yesterday after
noon, Geo. S. Cox, southern repre
sentative of the American Car and
Foundry Company said:
“Therb seems to be some slight
misunderstanding In regard to the
cars that are marked as being the
property of various banks and car
trusts. Almost every railroad pui-
chases more or less equipment on
this plan. The marks on the car
merely denote that these persons
who advanced the money to build
the equipment retain title In them
selves until the trust Is fully paid.
"It Is carried on precisely In the
same manner in .which any article
Is purchased on the Installment plan
or on deferred payments.
“The price of a freight car will
run anywhere from $800 to $1,000,
depending entirely on the class of
car. It will readily he seen that
the purchase of a thousand cars In
volves an amount of capita] that Is
considerable, even for a large rail
road system.
“Blair & Co., Stotesbury, and oth
ers merely advance money to build
the cars, take a part payment and
accept the notes of the railroad com
pany, secured by still retaining title
In the cars until paid for the balance
and as a matter of fact, the cars,
whea turned over to the railroad
company are as much their property
as Is,a house purchased by an Indi
vidual when he pays only a part of
the purchase price aud glvea the
property. In form of a mortgage, as
collateral for the balance.
"Even the Pensylvanla, the rich
est railroad company In this country
Is frequently a purchaser on this
plan.
"One reason of the caT shortage
fa the limited amount of cars owned
even on the trust plan by the ratl
roads In the south. The following
table has been hastily compiled from
The Official Railway Equipment Reg
ister for July 1806:
lot In the back of the wagon. While
the wagon was on 11a way to the san
itarium the mules took fright at the
auotmoblle belonging to Drs. Ains
worth aud Daniels. The, team
whirled about so quickly that Mr.
White was thrown from the wagon
seat. Hts left leg «-as slightly In
jured.
Mrs. White with an unusual dis
play of bravery and strength seized
the reins nnd kept the maddened
mules in the road. In their flight
they ran Into a buggy belonging to
Dr. Jno. H. Coyle, which was hitch
ed at the side of the street. The-
axle was sprung and the woodwork
smashed but the buggy was not bad
ly damaged.
In spite of this Mrs. White kept
partial control of the team, held
them In the road and stopped them
after they had run about four blocks.
By her presence of mind she un
doubtedly saved her little daughter
from Injury, nnd but for the fright
the child was none the worse for the
experience.
The runaway occurred at the busy
morning hour of ten o'clock nnd It :
Is very fortunate that the damage‘
was no greater.
Engineer Harris Hurt in
Freight Wreck Near
lBoston.
As a result of a wreck on the
Coast -Line near Boston yesterday
afternoon, Engineer Harris lies at
the City Hospital with a broken col
lar bone and In a dazed condition.
The accident occurred at -half past
one o'clock, when an east bound
freight was £ short distance this
side of Boston The engine struck
a logging cart of the Kirby Planing
Mill Co., that was standing across the
track. Mr. Harris saw that he could
not stop his engine In time to avoid
striking the cart and Jumped.
He landed a good distance from
the engine and rolled over and over.
Besides the- broken collar bone his
eye was gashbd nnd he was badly
bruised. The fireman was not
hurt.
The track was dug up, rails and
ties displaced. There was little de
lay In tragic however, and number
86 came in only half an hour late.
As soon as word of the accident
was received In Thomasvllle (a spec
ial train was made up of an engine
and coach, which took Drs. Daniels
and Ainsworth to the scene of the
wreck. Here they cared for Mr. Har
ris and brought him back to the
hospital late In the afternoon. He
was doing well last night.
