THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. THURSDAY, MAY 22,
Overconfidence Is Dangerous and
‘Trailer’ May Go to l op Any
Day With Flood of Ballots.
I notice, remarked the veteran, “that some of these boys and girls
in The Georgian anij The American pony contest have rolled up big
leads over the others, and now are keeping their total about stationary.
Now. I ve watched a good many contest**, and managed a few, and 1 want
to say light here that this is dangerous. At the same time, what I have
to say ought to be encouraging to the little fellows who haven’t made
much progress as yet.
Perhaps some of these tail-enderv feel it is hopeless to try to catch
the leaders in their districts. No such thing. Overconfidence has de
feated more contestants than any other factor. Along in the middle of
the contest period some of the leaders begin to think the race is won.
They rest on their oars, and suddenly wake up some day to the fact that
a trailer’ is crowding them hard. So my advice to the boys and girls at
the bottom is*. ‘Don't be discouraged,' and to the leaders I would say,
‘Never think you have enough.' "
The ponies, by the way, are transformed. When they came to At
lanta few of them had shed their winter coats. Now all the shagginess
has disappeared. They are sleek, fat and shining.
"1 have read your ‘ad’ and am answering it. so please send me a
pony,” w rites one little girl Such faith in The Georgian and The Ameri
can ought to be rewarded, but we had to tell the little girl that she must
enter the race if she wants one of i he Shetlands.

Little Things Count
In Poultry Raising
Items Worth Considering by the
Breeder—Good Advice
by Expert.
Don't be in . a hurry to feed t he
youngsters as they are taken from
ihe nest. • It is this rush in feeding
that causes a great deal of indiges
tion and mortality in little chickens.
Let them work on some good sharp
hoarse sand for twenty-four hours.
In this way you will have removed
the tendency to gas in the crop, a
common ailment where feed is given
too soon. YbU will get a sour crop,
bloating, indigestion, resulting in
diarrhea, and death is the result.
When you do feed let it be fed dry.
Do not tamper with the regulator
after you have had the machine open
and the eggs cooled down. You can
tell nothing about it then. If the
regulator needs any adjustment, at
tend to it at' a time when it has
been running for hours without open
ing.
When ydu get so you can care for
and make profitable 25 hens, then
you are ready to.increase the num
ber if you desire, but until you can
do that much better not go any far
ther.
If some of the hens have been
roupy during the past winter and re
covered. better be cautious about
breeding from them. That is where
so much of the trouble comes from,
as fowls W'hich have had a severe
case of roup are almost sure to pro
duce chicks which are incliped to be
roupy the following fall and winter.
Breed only from those strictly sound
and healthy.
laying hens are often confined to
a fattening diet for months at a
time through the laying season with
out any thought about the results.
They will lay and perhaps lay well
for a time, but will eventually get
out of condition with indigestion and
liver trouble. They need a variety
with lots of green stuff for filler.
Diarrhea in chicks is often caused
by sour feed, impure water, damp
quarters, filthy coops, exposure to
cold and wet. lack of sharp grit and
several all-round cross-grained,
W'rong methods of treatment. Look
out for these, conditions and right
fchem if they exist at your place.
COTTON MARKET OPINIONS.
Nor den A Co.: “Unfavorable crop
news would probabiy lead to active
buying of the distant positions.
Logan it- Bryan: “The market may
show* further improvement on short cov
ering.”
Hayden. Stone & Co.: “There Is a dis
position to sell; shorts cover on breaks.''
Miller A Co.: “We expect continuance
of a dragging market, the advance pos
sibly going somewhat further.”
Nearly everybody In Atlanta reads
The Sunday American. YOUR ad
vertisement in the next issue will sell
goede. Try it!
NEW YORK. May 22.—Influenced by
bullish tAlk of too much rain In the
Western belt, the cotton market opened
steady 1 to 6 points higher than last
nifht's close Other buying was based
on firm cables and continued light pit
offerings.
The market appeared to have a good
undertone and after the call sold up 2
to 7 points from the opening quotations
The advance was helped along by trade
buying. which caused nervousness
among shorts. Shorts covered new crop
positions. October ami January rallied
C points, while December advanced •
pofhta. Near positions held relatively
steady, hut fluctuated within a narrow
range. The spot interests bought old
and crop months moderately.
The weather conditions overnight
were considered favorable, except in the
Western half, where rains are not
pceded. i'he map indicates clearing in
the Northwestern quarter, with further
rains in south and southwest Texas, the
lower Central States and generally over
he Atlantic's.
Opinions are rather mixed, but senti
ment is becoming more bullish.
During the forenoon the market was
•*det. Trading was light; July, how
ever. was in active demand by spot
•sources and held steady at 2 point? ad
vance over the opening. I»ater posi-
voqr eased off 2 to 4 points from the
~arly high point.

II. S. Cl BOAST
IF GREATEST
List of Twelve Ablest, However,
Will Include Some Unknown
to Public.
By B. C. FORBES.
America can boaat of the greatest
railroad men in the world. No other
country has developed such a race
of transportation giant*. Nine of
every ten systems in the United
States are now managed, not by
stork market plungers, or by father's
sons, but by hard-headed, practical
men who have won their way stop
by step up the ladder from its very
bottom.
Who are the greatest railroad men
in America?
I have induced our more promi
nent railway officers and such influ
ential directors as James Speyer,
Frank A. Vanderlip, etc. to draw up
a list of the twelve names they con
sider worthy to be placed at the top
of the railroad tree.
Theae lists will be tabulated and
the result of the vote will be an
nounced along with photographs and
sketches of each of the “twelve great
est” on an early date.
The honor roll, it is evident, will
not include some names that have
been conspicuously before the public
for years. The appraisals of the ex
perts differ from what the laymen
might expect. Eastern railway presi
dents do not monopolize the selec
tions by any means.
Several heads of very important
systems have received few votes,
whili on the other hand, two or
throe names seldom on the public s
tongue stand far up the poll. The
publication of the completed list can
not fail to attract nation-wide inter-
est, for no similar compilation has
ever been made by any newspaper.

CHICAGO, May 22. -The Inter Ocean
■ays: “Man) traders are disposed '■
look on tlie market as high enough for
the present, although, should crop re
ports continue of the same character, it
would be easy to advance prices sharply,
us there is believed to be a good sized
short Interest still outstanding.
“The short interest in corn has been
cut down and local professionals who
are bulls were more numerous last night
than at any time this week. Conserva
tive people claim that the surplus has
been taken off the oats market for fu
tures and prices are not. out of line at

Tb* management of American rail
roads has undergone complete trans
formation within a generation. Too
often a railroad was run primarily
as a stock market adjunct, as a ma
chine for making millions for inside
speculators, as a pawn in a great
game of gambling.
There were no Governmental com
missions in those days to order re
duction* in rate*, to prohibit rebat
ing, to check corruption of legisla
tures, to forbid the wholesale distri
bution of free passes, to probe pro
posed issues of new securities and
stop them if deemed advisable, or
to interfere with the acquisition of
one road by another.
The man or men who controlled a
railroad did with it exactly as they
pleased. If a receivership would net
more millions than remaining sol
vent, then a receiver was promptly
appointed and the outsiders holding
securities were unmercifully fleeced.
Ail that haa been changed. Rail
roads are now more rigidly and more
effectively regulated then any other
class of buo’nees in the country.
They ere managed, too, with a de
gree of efficiency not dreamed of in
the olden days, when ene eye—and
sometimes both eyes—were kept on
the 9tock Exchange ticker.
.1 M. Andorson *aya: “The aborts an-
perohtly an* very, nervous nnfl fear the
buying nower of the bulls with the con-
-tAnt ritunand ' eoqiijge from them for
juiV. Favorable weather reports seem
io have very little effect upon the mar
ket." “
There/ wa«» a good demand around the
clone yesterday for July; also for new
crop months.
If it wasn't for the strength of TuJy
th* market would he flooded with selling
prdej-s.
Cotton peoole were given another scare
vesterday when-some unthoughted Der-
son sent out the rumor that the Amos-
keag 'Ills were about to shut down.
Officials rtf the Boston offices B ent o*t a
der.laL saying ’he mill will onlv close
Memorial Day. the next day. which will
he Saturday, and Sunday.
Our railroads ar# now “out of poli
tics” In ona sense, but are in danger
of being kept “in politics” in another
sense. Bodies entrusted with their
regulation are not always above be
ing swayed by political considera
tions, the railroads complain. This
is especially true in certain States
I# “swatting the railroad*” will win
votes, then the railroads are swatted.
Tactics of this kind have been car
riod t# dangerous and injurious
lengths in more than one part of the
country—and would bo carried far
ther would the courts parmit. Tba
tendenoy to-day ia to relieve the rail
roads as far aa possible from 8tats
interference and place thorn under
the supervision of the Federal body,
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
As ons railroad man replied in a
jiffy when I asked who ar# the great
est railroad managers in America:
“The seven Interstate Commerce
Commissioner#, of courao.”
If the talent were to give **very rumor
ft serious thought they would he on their
tiptoes every minute
