THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER, THURSuAY, OCTOBER 24, 1907.
SOUTHERN AND COMER
COME TO AGREEMENT.
Passenger Raie 2 3-4 Cts,
Books 2 i-4 Cts.
*
MONTGOMERY, ALA., October 23.
(Special)—Under an agreement be
tween Governor Comer and the offi
cials of the Southern Railway, the
Southern will dismiss its litigation
attacking the law-made rate in the
Federal courts, and the State of Ala
bama will permit the road to charge
a passenger rate of 2 3-4 cents a mile
and a freight rate permitted the same
road in Georgia, which is 25 per cent
higher than the standard Georgia
rate.
The Southern is also assured in
this agreement such immunity from
the legislation of the special session
of the Legislature as Governor Comer
and the members of the Railroad
Commission can give it.
Other Roads May Come In
Other railroad officials went in one
by one, and after the announcement
was made as to the details of the
agreement with the Southern, the
prediction was made that other roads
would come in for the terms are much
better than the rates quoted by the
Legislature.
The passenger rate, while fixed on
a basis of 2 3-4 cents, allows mile
age books of 1,000 to 2,000 miles to
be sold at a rate of 2 1-4 cents, and
family hooks of 500 miles at 2 1-2
cents a mile.
The agreement establishes the
Georgia freight rate in Alabama for
the Southern.
Trial for Six Months
An important feature of the long
agreement is the right retained by
the road to apply to the Railroad Com
mission after six months trial to
have any rate raised which was
found to be too low. And if the Com
mission failed to do this, the road
would have the right to go to the
courts to have the rate raised.
The central features of the agree
ment, therefore are the establishment
of a passenger rate higher than that
made, by the acts of the Legislature,
the Georgia rate on 110 commodi
ties named in the special rate bill,
the right of the road to appeal to the
courts if the rates were found unsat
isfactory, the immunity from any act
of the Legislature in extra session,
and the dismissal of all pending liti
gation.
BETTER THAN MEDICINE.
Breathe Hyomei’s Tonic Healing and
be Cured of Catarrh.
Nature has a remedy so rcatarrh, a
treatment that is far better than dos
ing the stomach with medicine.
It is the healing oils and balsams
of Hyomei which medicates the air
you breathe, reaching the most re
mote air cells in the nose, throat and
lungs, killing all catarrhal germs,
and restoring health to the mucous
membranes.
In using Hyomei you are treating
your catarrhal troubles with the only
natural remedy, for it gives a cura
tive air bath to the air passage that
has as powerful healing and antisceptic
effect as that found in the moun
tains where the pine forests give off
their fragrant and healing balsams.
Breathe the invigorating and heal
ing Hyomei, and see how quickly you
will get relief from your catarrhal
troubles. Dodson’s Pharmacy has
seen so many cures, even of the worst
cases of catarrh, with offensive
breath, raising of mucous, frequent
sneezing, droppings in the throat and
spasmodic coughing, that they feel
warranted in selling Hyomei under
an absolute guarantee to refund the
money if it does not do all that is
claimed for it. They take all the risk.

IMPORTANT LINK IN
WATERWAY 10 GULE
Opening to Navigation oT
75-Mile Canal.
STERLING, ILL., October 23.
(Special)—A distinct and important
step in the movement to secure a
deep waterway from Lake Michigan
to the Gulf of Mexico, will be taken
today with the opening to navi
gation of the Illinois and Mississippi
canal, which has been completed af
ter thirty years of work. The im
portance of the event is evidenc
ed by the attendance of Governor De
neen and many other notables at the
opening ceremonies.
The work of constructing the
canal, which was formerly known
as the Hennepin canal, was commen
ced many years ago. In 1890 Congress
appropriated money to carry on the
work and altogether the appropria
tions have amounted to about $8,000,-
000.
The main line of the canal, 75 miles
long, extends from the Illinois
river, near Hennepin, to the Missis
sippi river three miles below Rock
Island. The navigable feeder, about
30 miles long, extends from Rock
river at this point to the main line
near Sheffield and is of the same di
mensions as the main line.
The canal is 52 feet wide at the
bottom, 80 feet at the water line, and
has a minimum depth of 7 feet. There
are 32 locks on the main line and one
on the feeder. Water is to be forced
down the canal by a great dam, one
fourth of a mile long and located at
this point. At one end of the dam are
twenty-one sluceways xvhich will be
used for electrical power develope
ment.
POLITICS AND POLITICIANS.

As a result of the Hearst-Parsons
iiance in New York city a truce

may appear on the Tammany plat
form before the campaign is over and
speak in favor of the ticket.
Robert L. Owen, one of the new
senators from Oklahoma, has had
active continuous business with the
Government at Washington in the
interests of the Indian Territory for
more than 20 years, and has spent
the last sixteen winters in Washing
ton, where his success has given him
a national reputation.

is to succeed Thomas Ryan as first
assistant secretary of the interior,
has long been prominent in the Re
publican politics of Utah. He is a
graduate of Williams College and a
lawyer by profession. His practice
in recent years has included many
important cases under the mining and
other public laws, and his experience
in such matters is expected to aid
him greatly in the duties of his
new office.
