Sale of Seaboard Means En
trance of Chesapeake & Ohio
Into South Atlantic Region.
RICHMOND, VA, June 10—The
Carolina. Clinchfield and Ohio railroad
has secured an amendment to its char
ter from the Virginia corporation com
mission authorizing the road to in
crease its capital stock from $30,000,-
000 to $40,000,000. This, it is declared,
is for the purpose of further perfect
ing plans to get connection with the
Chesapeake and Ohio system.
In railway circles here it is believed
that the sale of 210.000 shares of Sea
board Air Dine stock by the Cumber
land corporation and their acquisition
by a new syndicate which has come
into control of this road Is nothing
more than a plan on the part of the
Chesapeake and Ohio to eventually
take over the Carolina. Clinchfield and
Ohio, which is owned by the Clinch
field Corporation.
Ry selling out its Seaboard holdings,
the Cumberland Corporation can now
carry out its extension plans, irrespec
tive of Seaboard influence, it is be
lieved. These plans call for an exten
sion from Dante, the northern termi
nus of the C„ C. and 0., to Elkhorn
City, Ky„ the southern terminus of
the Big Sandy division of the Chesa
peake and Ohio. Contract for this
work was let several weeks ago.
With the completion of this connect
ing link a distance of 40 miles, within
the next year or two. it is believed
that the way will have been sufficiently
cleared for the Chesapeake and Ohio
to assume active charge of the Caro
lina, Clinchfleld and Ohio, whose south
ern terminus is Spartanburg, S. f
Behind this project lies the dream of
Edwin Hawley for the C. and O. and its
allied branches in the middle West to
get a direct line from the Great Dakes
’o the South Atlantic seaboard, pre
liminary to the opening of the Panama
canal in 1915.

FATHER GIVES SON
NOVEL BIRTHDAY GIFT
Anniversary Remembrance Was Too
Big For Boy to Take Away
With Him.
"On the morning of my birthday that
brought a vote with it,” a moderately
successful failure said the other day, i
"my father took me to the front door,
walked me out upon the front porch
and, pointing at the horizon, said: '.My
son. this is a proud moment for both of
us. You are no longer a boy. but a
man full grown, and on this your birth
day morn I give to you the greatest
present I could bestow—the world.
There it is In all its glory: it lies spread
out before you: go and get It.’ I have
been trying ever since to obtain pos
session of even some small portion of
that birthday gift, but have been but
indifferently successful.”
The Georgian can provide you with
a birthday gift acceptable and easily
obtainable by any boy or man, and it
is, in fact, the world. The world de
scribed, catalogued and carefully pic
tured in maps and charts so far as its
geography Is concerned—each principal
city and country given special desciip
tion and your town and every other
man's town listed as to population and
importance of its activities. The his
tory of the world an* of your own
country so compiled that a conception
of it can be secured and retained at a
glance if you desire to work your mem
ory or kept ready at hand If you desire
to keep it for reference.
The Georgian is presenting to its
readers the neatest and most compact
geographical and historical work ever
compiled in the Standard Atlas and
chronological History of the World.
Here Is a commonsense gift to anj
I one.
If you want to present your boy with
the world, at least be thoughtful
■ enough to give him at the same time
J this guide which may help in teaching
I him how to get it.

hurry. I'hey dashed under automobiles
and out the other side, spun between
trolley cars and express wagons, sought
out every mud puddle in the gutters,
and then the nearest dust heap.
Owners forgot their dignity and went
after them. Fat men stretched their
short legs in the chase, bent painfully
over their lids when they had over
taken them, and used words not in the

evaded their grasp and started oft

Dust Baffles Pursuers.
Added to the loss of hats was the
dust, which tilled the eyes of pursuers.
Half of Peachtree was rubbing its op

friend to play oculist, And worse than
either was the shower of badinage
which went up from the sidewalk,
from friends who clung to their own
top-pieces and spent half the forenoon
cheering the hat-chasers and placing
bets on the result.

FOSTORIA. OHIO, June 10.—An at
«
tempt was made here last night to
lynch Organizer O’Conner, of the In
dustrial Workers of the World. He
was rescued from a mob by officers.
O'Conner was’making a speech on a
street corner. The crowd stood for
his ridicule of the law, his admission
that he would rob a bank if he could
get away with It. but when he charged
that Christ was "simply a hobo car
penter" and denounced all ministers
and priests and those who pay homin',
to them as dupes or worse, there wei
cries of "String him up!” "Hang him
The officers rushed O’Conner throuy
the crowd and upstairs into a buildin.r
holding back the crowd with sticks.
Several of the mob were Injured bv the
policemen's clubs.
A FAILURE
We told R A. Crothers. editor and pro
prietor of The San Francisco Bulletin,
that to convince him Bright's Disease and
Diabetes are curable if he would send us
a ease we would attempt a demonstra
tion.
The result was that we were put itt
touch with a young physician who had
Diabetes. He was so incredulous at first
that be would not take the treatment,
although there was no charge. When
his case became extreme and he was in
bed in a dark room he consented Within
four months from the date that Fulton's
Diabetic Compound was sent him he
called at our office in person to express
his gratification and asked what we ex
pected him to do. We replied that all
we asked of him was to call on Editor
Crothers of the Bulletin and declare the
resuits. He did so. But it seems the
disease was not entirely eliminated, sot
about three years thereafter his death
was reported.
We do not make strong claims in young
cases and were prepared for failure. But
who can measure the value of those three
years added to the patient’s life’.' Who
will say it was not worth while?
If middle-aged or over we look for per
manence in many cases. (There have
been a number who have been cured over
ten years).
Fulton's Diabetic Compound can be had
at Frank Edmondson & Bro., 14 S. Broad
and 10 N. Pryor streets.
Ask for pamphlet or write to John J.
