WILL SAVE “TEXAS” FROM DESTRUCTION (Continued From Page One.) that this re-capture was made possible and Johnston's army saved from hav ing Its supplies cut off, they will see that the old relic Is preserved for fu ture generations to gaze upon. An Engineer’s Feeling. One of the first to respond to The Georgian's call was H. C. Smalley, a well-known engineer on the Western and Atlantic. "I know the friends of that old relic will never let her go to the scrap pile," lie said. "She has done faithful service and now she should be rewarded. While the 'General' which She overtook in that famous flight has for years occupied a place of honor, the ‘Texas' has been doing work. Now. when she Is behind the times, old and about worn out, all patriotic Georgians should protest by their contributions against sending her to the Junk pile. A dollar from every railroad man In Atlanta on the West ern and Atlantic will save the 'Texas,' and save her for future generations." And so Impressed was Mr. Smalley by the Impending fate that threatened the locomotive that he started out among his railroad friends with a sub scription list. Another to promptly respond was P. C. Sterchl, one of Postmaster Blodgett's force of letter carriers.. "The Georgian's call to the patriotic- boys and girls of the South will not fall on deaf ears. Surely the spirit of patriotism, even among those whose sires were on the other side, is strong enough to save from dishonor a his tory-making memento of the Civil war. As a son of a Confederate veteran, I am proud, to contribute my mite and that of my wife and daughter, and I would urge on our young people to buy the historic old relic In dime subscrip tions., I honor The Georgian for the: patriotic stand It has taken on all mat- tera of public Interest." Master Mechanic M. Lamar Collier., of the Western and Atlantic shops, was overjoyed Saturday morning at the widespread Interest that the people are taking In the matter. The “Texas” and Collier. “It makes me feel that I am getting old,” he said, "to talk about sending the old.. faithful 'Texas' to the scrap pile The rest'of the old engines that were the pride of the Western and At lantic forty or fifty years ago havo all gone the way of worn out engines. Only the 'Texas' and Collier are left. The Texas' and Collterl We both came to the Western and Atlantic about the same time, and to talk about putting her In the scrap pile makes me think I am getting old. We got her In Octo ber. 1856, Just after I started to work for the road. In 1877 I put a new boiler In her. when I was foreman In the shops, and It Is In good condition today. The old 'Texas' can still make things lively on the road if she Is ready for the scrap pile. "I have known all along that the wrong engine has been placed on a pedestal. Ths 'General' has been hon ored while the old 'Texas' that overtook her and saved the day for our army was kept working steadily. I can see her now as she pulled passenger trains on the old state road. She was polish ed like a mirror and there was plenty of brass work on engines in those days to polish. Her driving wheels were painted red and she was one of the finest looking locomotives I ever saw. Faithful, too, she was. She was a good steamer and never gave us any trouble. "But I hope she will be saved at last.” Councilman C. "Wheeler Manguni, who Is yardmaster for the Western nnd Atlantic, Is another who protests against sending the old engine to the scrap pile. Wheeler Mangum’s Protest. "She will’never go there,” he said, "If I have to buy her myself. The 'Texas' should be owned either by the state or the city, and should stand as a monument. I am going to take the matter up at once with Mayor Joyner and the officials of the road and see If we can not save her. And I will con tribute to the fund The Georgian Is raising. The old engine shall be pre served and shall have the place In history which she so richly deserves." As scrap Iron the 'Texas" Is worth between 1376 and 3400, and for $200 more she could be made to look like she did on that famous chase. Brass work could be brightened, paint added, a cowcatcher put on, together with an old wood burning smokestack. Then FRANK PITTMAN IS OUT' TO IVIN IN PRIMARY FRANK A.

DICKENS' SI OR} 01 CHILD MAY AID FEEBLE-MINDED CHILDREN OF GEORGIA Charles Dickens’ body has long since mouldered .Into dust, but his benign Influence has been felt In the Georgia legislature of 1907. Friday morning every member of both branches found on their desks a neat copy of “Doctor Marigold's Pre scriptions,” that exquisite story of the saving of a little child. Many read and were moved by the story, but no one knew why it was r* thblr desks. Now the secret is out. A bill, is pending in the legislature, in troduced In the senate by Dr. Hard man, and in the house by Hon.

Here the court settles some points of Intrastate and Interstate commerce: "The defendant maintains that the Interstate commerce law does not apply to the Alton Company's, connection with the transportation of defendant’s property Inasmuch as the road It oper ates lies wholly within the state of Il linois. "The trouble with this contention Is that It Ignores that basic proposition underlying the whole question and con fuses the Interstate character of the carrier with the Interstate characti of the commerce In which the card- Is engaged. The true and primary test is whether the commodity to be trans ported Is to pass from one state Into another state. If It does so pass, then It Is Interstate commerce, regardless of whether the rails over which It moves be operated by one or many carriers. And when this commodify begins to move Interstate commerce has begun and Interstate commerce It continues to be until It reaches Its de*. tinaUon."
