TO FLAG EAST TRAIN Memphis, Tenn., May 11 Unable without assistance to extinguish the flames of a burning railroad bridge, Mrs. Dora Jasper mounted an unbrok en colt and rode 3 miles over hills and gullies to warn the crew of an ap proaching train. Mrs. Jasper's farm Is near Eureka Springe, Ark., on the Mis souri and North Arkansas Railroad. When Mrs. Jasper first noticed the little bridge had been fired by sparks from a passing freight, so It was thought, she attempted single-handed to put out the blaze. Finding this Im possible, she ran to the barn to get a horse and ride to Intercept the train ahe knew waa due. Every animal and every saddle and bridle were In use, except an unbroken colt and n rope halter. Bareback, with the halter as a bridle, Mrs. Jasper raced the colt to the switch which she reached in time. There were fully 100 passengers and a high official of the railroad on the train. The official’s first order was for the finest side saddle which could be obtained, with a suitable Inscription stamped on It.

His bride is said to havs understood the poverty waa of a com parative kind and thought he still had enough to keep up a showing for a time.

He denied most emphatically that the Central was trying to strong-arm or sand-bag The Georgian Into using the Central-Sa vannah line. Mr. Collins declared that delays were caused by congestion of traffic and many other little details, but he denied that these delays were Intentional and done for tho purpose of making The Georgian use the Cen trnl’B route from tho East. The Central epd the Georgia roads have arrangements whereby each road handles each’other’s cars. Each road Is supposed to give the tame attention to the other’s cars as It would give to Its own. The consignee Is allowed forty-eight hours to unload hla car, and as he generally takes the limit, there Is no margin left for the.railroad doing the switching to return the car without paying any demurrage. "The consignee gets the benefit of this,” said Mr. Collins, "and the de murrage comes out of the railroad. Most of this Is really done at a lose. " Just Intricate Detail. Another Central official who was seen by a Georgian reporter was Mr. W. E. Estes, assistant goneral freight agent. He, too, talked willingly and explained t)ie Intricate detail connected with the switching of car*. Mr. Eatea said the question of changing the routo of a shipper’s business never entered Into the switching of cars and that there was no attempt at all to use the strong-arm or the sand-hag. But the delay goes on. It may be some men higher up who knows. May be ' President Hanson can tell. The Georgian would like to know from the man higher up to the man down the line. One of the shippers using the Cen tral's side-track Is Mr. F. H. Cox, of the F. 8. Cox Company, a concern that doe* a great deal of shipping from the East. Mr. Cox talked. "They make no bones about trying to strong-arm me, aa you cell It," said Mr. Cox to the reporter. "They have told me frankly that If I use their line from the East I will get better service. But when my stuff comes from New York and Boston via the Clyde-Chariee- ton Una there It delay. The last car I had remained In the poaaeaelon of the Central from Thursday' morning to Monday afternoon.” Better Service From West. When the Central twitches care com ing In over line* not competing with the Central It baa been noticed that there le better service. Mr. H. II. Whitcomb, of the H. H. Whitcomb Company, la also on the Central’s track. He doesn't have much trouble now. Hla stuff for tho most part comes from the West. The Central doesn't do busi ness from there except from Chatta nooga Often Mr. Whitcomb ships stuff over the Central from Chatta nooga on He way from the Weet, al though It Is twelve hours longer. The Central strains a point to have It here te soon as If It came over another route. In other woMs, Mr. Whitcomb hands th* Central a slice of velvet now and then, and has rather good service. He Is not so much at the mercy of the Central. 5Ir. Cox’* shipments are more from the East, ije has trouble. If such a plan as this strong-arming was pushed to the limit the Central could come pretty nearly tlelng Its side track user* up unlen the Central-Sa vannah line waa used. The Central hasn't .done It. but It Is possible. The Central official* hav* denied that the strong-arm Is being worked. When the shippers get real mad there Is a hustle and a missing car 1c found. But the delay makes business men tired, and If they weren’t so Intent upon using the Clyde-C'harleston line they might rush to th* Central. Bu: they don't. So these denials and efforts to help out come and go and the delays ksep on occurring.

It can be written faster than any other syatem, 2. It con be read with far greater ease and Accuracy. 3. Those who write the syatem give better general satisfaction to their em ployers and a much larger per cent of CHARTIER writers succeed with their first positions than those who write the old systems. 4. It Is vastly SUPERIOR for heavy work like COURT REPORTING, be came It can be WRITTEN 25 PER CENT faster and READ FIVE TIMES more accurately. 5. It can be learned In ONE-HALF the time and with ONE-FIFTH the EFFORT 8. It saves the pupil 3100.00 to 3200.00 on t|ie course. 7. The great majority of those who study CHARTIER accept posltlona within THREE MONTHS. FIVE .to EIGHT MONTHS are required to at tain the same protlctency for 95 per cent of those who study the old sys tems. HERE IS THE PROOF: 1. actual results secured.

The school room Is turned into a "Business Community," a record of every transaction Is made ln book*, nnd the work Is Just as real and practical as that of the ACTUAL MERCHANT.
