A Difficult Prebltm. The next step in the campaign of re trenchment was more difficult. ■ Iras obvious, namely, the redaction of expenses by tha enhancement of efficien cy. la transportation a campaign was begun opop the elements of train haul, ear, distribution, coal consumption, main tenance of afetfodules, handling package freight, Increased tonnage of package cars and uniform practice. The benefi cial effect of these educational measures could not be expected at once, and they scarcely became apparent until the re sults of operation for March. 1WW. when, in the face of a decrease of 3692,015 In gross earnings, as compared with March, 1907. there was shown a decrease In op- era ting espeneee and taxes of Itff.lA, resulting In an Incraoaa of 1237,340. In net — -* 1 *-*•-, the great and told Its r.tory Retrenchment Necessary. There wee thua created e new prob lem of management, one of retrenchment of t-xponeo of operation In greater pro portion then the decline of revanuee. It tvsa realised that a saving In expenses merely equivalent to the lose of arose would not suffice becauea ot the constant factor of fixed charges. The feet that the facilities end capacity of the com pany had been built up during recent years through additions to Its funded problem of linings debt, now intensified the maintaining the level of ( neerseery to meet the fix* assumed. and* hav^proved effective In emergencr ojr/i; service which assF*. ed te Jr tlen of fixed charges ■were directed primarily to the r economies— to cutUng out train which bad been operated to meet s of commerce at high tide, aft.r test, was demonstrate be no longer npveiwary; to, reduc- t forces hi shops, at agencies and Is. where the amount of labor em- In r .. earnings. Rut. meanwhile, the great sudden reduction In pose told Jta r.tory of unpreparednesa in December, January, end February, when the operating ratios E re *1.75. ft.14 and 86.64. respectively. March thla ratio waa reduced to 75.70, and was there substantially held during the remainder of the fiscal year. That these economies have been eo largely accomplished In transportation expenses Is most creditable. Of tha total decrease of 33,213,125.14 In operating excenses for the year. Tl.tk0.765.6l, or M.8J per cent was In transportation expenses, and to that extent, la In Itself a demonstration of efficiency. But that most of this was accomplished In the last six months of the fiscal year; that Is to say, after the pressure of necessity wee felt, la earnest of whet can be done hereafter. This ef fort at efflelency. as well aa the hectic conditions which were experienced dur ing the year, can perhaps best be appre ciated by a comparison of the variation of the percentage of transportation ex penses during the first and the last six months of the year, respectively. The Earning*. During the first six months of the fiscal year gross earnings Increased 3.65 per cent, and operating expenses Increas ed S.0I per cent, of which Increase in expenses 27.49 per cent, was In trans portation expenses, or a total Incrciim «n transportation expenses of 4.32 per cent, •v compared with the same period of tho previous year. . . During the last six months of tne fiscal jrei- gross earnings decreased 1-..76 per cent and operating expenses decreased 31 4« per cent, of which decrease In ex penses 48.22 per cant waa In tr.in«r«rt*- tlcn expenses, or a total decrease *U transportation expenses of 19.19 per cent, as compsrcd with the same period of the previous year. _ „ , _ There have nlso been substantial econ omies In maintenance charges, but none, it Is believed, at the expenso of conserva tive upkeep of the property. “* ** has the roadbed been kept u, ... — - - - spects nereseury for the safe and prompt hns the roadbed been kept up In all re spects necessury for the safe and promp. movement of trains. i»ut It hns Indeed been strengthened during the year.

The cost of maintaining nxlnea per mile run In 1908 was 8.06 cents, as compared with 8.65 cents for the ten-year average. The average an nual cost of maintenance per freight car for tho Inst six years.' was 171.79. a* compared with 377.0.1 charged maintenance of freight r *" In 1908. W •hows 2.11 cents In 1908 aa against 1.33 cents for *ho ten-year average. In thla connection. It will be of Inter val to note that, by reason or the con servative method by which this company has replaced obsolete equipment In tha g Tk the book value of all equipment on 30 1908. was ll.8J8.794.32 above apitnl value, after $10,013 520.72 had written off for depredation. It la believed further that, by reason of the most satisfactory Increase of ef ficiency of Individual labor since the cur tailment of forces was made last wlnttf, a comparison cf cost of 'maintenance Is not necessarily a comparison of tho amount of maintenance aecomolJshed. as there la no doubt but that more work and better work Is obtained on the track ami In the shop for a dollar today than In the period of peesauro of heavy bail- ntJ.' and competitive demand for labor. This successful practice of economr, accompanied by evidence of Inrrmaed efficiency, has been most gratifying to the management, and the officers and men. who. by their faithful and unremit ting labor hare brought It about, deservo |he approval of the security hold in. not only because of the Immediate results at tained. but because the discipline and Stimulus of the education of this year upon the rank and file of the service, officers and employes alike, can not fall to he of lasting benefit to the prop erty. No Wags Reduction. But this has not yet solved tha prob lem which faces the company. There has been no reduction during the year in the rate ot wages paid to railroad employes, which. It Will De recalled, had been advanced from tlmo to time with Increasing business In previous years, nor turn there been any •aulwtantlal abatement In tha unit coat of the things which a railroad has to buy In order to operate. On tha other hand there has not been any compensating Increase In the price at which the railroad can sell the commodity which It produces— trans portation. The result of advancing oper ating costs without any compensating In- r crease In railroad charges lias been to bring about an uneconomic relation be- ■tween revenues and operating costa. The ilem of ao changing thin relation aa establish a proper tnargfti between gross earnings and operating coats can only be solved by a reasonable advance In railroad charges or such u reduction in operating costa as could only be brought about by a general lowering of tho wages of railroad employes, and the maintenance of thin purchasing power Is an Important factor fa the general pros perity of tho country. On the other hand, a moderate Increase In rallroed chargee would weigh heavily on no Individual. It would seem fair, therefore, that the av erage level of rates now la effect should be reasonably advanced, and It Is hoped that, when general business has some what revived. It will be generally recog nised that existing conditions are unfair, and that a railroad te entitled to the same consideration ot equal justice at the hands of tna business public which tho business subtle boa so clamorously demanded from tha railroads.

In his efforts to end his life Cox had used a raxor, and although he was gasping for breath when Dr. C. P. Brannen arrived, a glance convinced the phyaician that he was beyond all hope. Just what caused tho young man to take his life Is not positively known. One of his acquaintances said that Cox had been to Thunderbolt with a young woman; they quarreled and Cox cut his throat. Another acquaintance said the young man was undecided whether ho loved a young woman In Eilabelle better than one In Savannah; that he had beendrinklng and his dual love affair caused his suicide. The young niAn had been visited by his father, Thomas Cox, of Eilabelle. and his little brother. Walter, tho day before. They romalned with him until yesterday morning, then returning home. During their stay Cox seemed bright and cheerful and no one In the house had a hint of any Intention of suicide on his part. Those who know him well believe it was a sudden af fair. of some kind which reaolved him to take his life. A Healthy Family.
