“The building of 61 miles of rural
telephone lines to every section of

than any other one thing to im
prove the general condition of the
people and make the growing of
truck and farm produce profitable.
The system is complete in every re

Prof. Walker.
Leaves Hawkinsville
Much regret is felt by patrons
over the resignation of Prof. R. L.
Walker, the music teacher of the
Hawkinsville Public Schoojs, who
resigned several weeks ago to open
a studio in Macon. Mr. Walker
has been associated with the public
schools of our town for several years
and his faithful and proficient work
as a music teacher made him very
popular with patrons and his resig
nation was accepted with much re
luctance. —Hawkinsville Disp. it
News.
We understand that Prof. Wal
ker has secured a large class in Ma
con at much more remunerative
figures than he received in Haw
kinsville. We congratulate him on
his success. He is a very talanted
musician and a splendid teacher,
and Macon will be a larger field for
him. We believe that he has every
requisite of a successful teacher,
and his patrons will be fortunate in
securing him.
Mr. G. R. Pettit
Promoted
Our genial, accomodating and ef
ficient traveling passenger agent,
Mr. G.R. Pettit, has been promoted

This is a very deserved promotion
and is a result of enterprising work
and close attention to the passenger
business in this territory. We re
gret to give Mr. Pettit up, but con
gratulate him on his merited rise.
He will have a broader field and
additional responsibility, but he
will make good, and we believe will
fully measure up to the require
ments.

A Letter from
Pres. Finley.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug.
17th. —President Finley, of the Sou
thern Railway Company, being ask
ed today about the policy of that
Company relative to the validation
of order notify bills of lading for
export cotton, said: ‘
“The management of the South
ern Railway Company recognizes
the great commercial importance of
this subject, and will do all that it
properly can to promote confidence
in the markets of the world in its
bills of lading. It is believed that
the effective enforcement of certain
business precautions will go far , to
satisfy any doubt which now exists
as a re suit of certain alleged man
ipulation by shippers of order noti
fy hills of lading for export cotton
last season, for which the railways
were in no way responsible.
“The system of issuing such lulls
of lading was the subject of a special
conference between the carriers and
hankers. As a result of this confer*
ence, which was held at White Sul
phur springs, W. Va., on the 19th.
ultimo, the Southern railway Com
pany will arrange, beginning on
Sept. 1, 1910, to make effective
safeguards surrounding the issue of
order notify bills of lading which
were then agreed upon. Among
other tilings agreed upon tending to
improve the system of issuing order
notify hills of lading for export cot
ton, these regulations provide for a
bill of lading signature certificate
which will he signed and attached
on behalf of the Railway Company
by a validation officer, to each order
notify hill of lading for export cot
ton issued by agents of the Com
pany authorized to issue such bills
of lading. Each validation certifi
cate will set forth that the agent
who has signed the bill of lading is
the regularly appointed agent of the
Company, and as such, is authoriz
ed to sign bills of lading in accord
ance with the regulations of the
Company, and that the signature
on the attached order notify bill of
fading is his signature. The cer
tificate will be irremovably attached
to the bill of lading covered by it,
and, as an additional safeguard, the
bill of lading, in addition to its own
number, will bear the number of
the certificate issued in connection
with it. Agents will be instructed
not to sign bills of lading until the
cotton is in the poscssion of the
Railway Company.
“Realizing the importance of the
matter, the officers in charge are in
structed to adept every precaution
to make the regulations effective,
especially that prohibiting the issue
of these bills of lading before cotton
has been receivedby carrier. It is
believed that the effect of these
safeguards will be to prevent any
manipulation of bills of lading as it
is alleged was practiced in connect
ion with last year’s crop, but, as I
have said, for which the railways
were in no way responsible.’’
Found Body Dang

Ocmulgee River.
A Hlfman body dangling from

that section telephoned Coroner T.
E. Young of the gruesome find yes
terday evening, while he was en
gaged at the inquest over Mrs Al
ma Walker, out on the Columbus
road. Last night he left over the
Georgia Southern and Florida rail
way to investigate the case.
The information given him did
not state whether the body was
that of a white person or negro. —
