SEABOARD RETURNS WON'T BE RECEIVED Long delayed because of a fire In the Portsmouth offices which destroyed valuable records, the Seaboard Air Line has Anally made Its annual re turns to the comptroller general. And the Increase Is so small that Captain Wright will decline to receive the returns. The total returns on tangible and franchise values amount to 29,429,292, of which $1,(00,000 Is for the franchise, exactly the flgurei of last year. An Increase of only 343,833 la shown, presumptively on 14.73 miles of new sidetrack. For the new line between Atlanta and Cedartown the Seaboard fixes the value at $(,000 per mile. It Is said that this new roadbed Is one. of the finest and best ballasted In tha South. Last year the comptroller fixed tbe val uation of the new road of the Louis- e and Nashville (the Atlanta, Knox- s and Northern) at $12,(00 per mile, and the Louisville and Nashville ac cepted It without arbitration. Now the comptroller does not under stand how the Seaboard can build a new line over territory offering almost as great obstacles as tbe other in con struction at $7,(00 less per mile. On this specification he will demand further facts. Some of the mileage of the Seaboard It returned as low as 14,000 and some os high as 33,000. The return* are not satisfactory by any means, and unless the Seaboard will agree to raise them, fin arbitration Is certain. With the exception of Colonel James M. Smith's two short lines, every road In the state has made returns for this year. , TRYING TO SAVE CHILD, FIVE GIRLS ARE DROWNED IN DEEP HOLE IN RIVER By Private Lettsed Wife.
