Samuel Spencer.
The death ot Samuel Spencer, pre*
Went of the Southern railway, has
drawn from (be pres* of the South
encomium* which were given but
scantily, during, ills life time.
Death Is a great trnnsmutor of Sen
tlment; or rather, that phenomenon
by which ono Is hurled from time to
eternity has the power of Inspiring
all with mingled reverence and fear
so that U is but human to speak only
of the good of him token from the
quick to the dead.
Dp mortuls nIhAI nisi bonum—a
phrase older than our race—I* not a
precept or an admonition to conduct;
It la blit an expression, of that senti
ment all liumnns have in their
breasts.
; The one tribute to Samuel Spencer
in which all may join is that his llfi
has been an example of the success
that awaits on brains, tlreloss energy
•and Indomitable courage. He arose
from tho humblest position in an en
gineering corps to the presidency of
bne of the greatest railway systems
In the world. He worked himself up
from the bottom to tho top, unaided,
•by anything Have his own brain power'
and will power.
Thert Is no doubt but that lie was
devoted to the upbuilding ot thq
south, from whose loins he had
sprung. He, perhaps, did more than
any one else toward Its Industrial ad
vance. It was his fondest hope to see
the natural resources of hia home
land developed, to make It the most
prosperous and the happiest In Amer
ica.
Samuel Spencer Is reckoned as one
ot the greatest of American railway
presidents.
Because lie transformed deficits
into profits.
At Its last meeting the board ot
trustees of the Southern railway
paased this resolution ot appreciation
for his work:
"Wo congratulate you niton the
success achieved In the exten
sion and operation of the proper
ty which have resulted In nearly
doubling the extent of its Hues.
• trebling Its gross earnings and In
creasing Its net earnings, above
fixed charges, over 525 per cent In
the period of eleven years which
have elapsed since its formation." !
The measure of success In tho !
world of business Is dollars and tier j
cent.
By the measure of dollars and iter j
cent Samuel Spencer made of hla i
career one of the greatest of sue-;
cesses In this, the day of commercial
progress.
Ills whole life, his masterful Intel- j
lect and hls days aad nights of tra-
vall were devoted to thejutereats of
hls employers.
In hls fidelity to the owners of the
■Southern ami the other railways of >
which be was the head, the bruins, '
the intellect, he tightened every screw ■
In the work of creating profits.
Hls ever. - move was for the creu-
Mon of dividends,
Kconomy was hls watchword.
"Reduce expenses" was the slogan j
of hi* administration.
So it waa that the death-roll of the
Southern has been one of the moat
terrible In the lilxfwry of America's
“AN ARCADY WHERE THINGS ARE CHEAP.”
(Editorial Correspondence by John Temple Graves.)
I have found me at last, an arcady where things you need are cheap.
Fayetteville fa the Athens of Arkansas. It fa In the heart of the
Ozark mountalnsl "The university of the state Is here. There arc 1,300
students upon Its rolls.
And eggs sell here for 15c a dozen In the market aud the saving
housekeeper can buy perfectly fresh eggs a little too much cracked for
shipment at 8c a dozen every day, * -
flood beefsteak front the surrounding farms Is brought to your door
for 5c a pomul and sold In the city stalls for ten cents and twelve. You
can hire a single team for an afternoon for a dollar, and wood 1s still In
reach of the shivering at the old-fashioned and Christian price of 91.73
per cord.
It may be that things are produced cheaper In the Ozarks than any
' where else In the world, or It may lie that tho raving fashion of high
prices has not yet permeated to these honest and considerate fastnesses
of the great hills where people live and let other people live without
gouging and extortion. • ,
It seema to be a fact that .where the means of "the people are known.
to he moderate the prices of commodities have not advanced and are rea
sonably held down.
But It Is undoubtedly true that wherever prosperity ubides and fa ex
ploited In press snd public voices, that the people who soil, crowd on the
scale of prices to the last limit yvlileh they think a prosperous people can
and will endure. ,
One of the brightest of drummers told me the other day In Paris.!
Texas, that hls trade was simply great in Texas, "but,” said he, "It Is
nothing to the profits the merchants make out of my goods. One of the
very best department stores In Texas,” said he, “Is In Paris. I am selling
this year n class of silk worsteds made by luy house In Jamestown, N. Y.
I am able to put it Into the hands of these merchants at 57c a yard.
Heretofore upon this price tho merchant I sjieak of—and he fa one of the,'
moat reputable In Texas—has been accustomed to mark's selling price of'
93c and 95c a yard,’and reckons that an excellent profit. Thfa year when.
I made by first sale of these goods to him at 67 cents, I was slmplj-
amazed to see him mark them for sale over hla counters at $1.60 a yard! '
Three weeks later he told me the whole lot had gone like hot cakes, and
he has given me three orders since which fie has sold at the same price.?
When I joked him about It, he simply said:
" ‘Well, thfa fa onr harvest season and we must make hay while the
sun shines. While the people nro rich we must pile on them all they will
stand, and make out of them all weean. When hard times come we will
have to sell them cheap enough.' "
The same merchant fa selling from Ills millinery department hats
for $25 that he used to sell at $c, and is displaying on hls counter* ready
made suits for ladles upon which he unhlushlngly makes a selling price
of $135, when five years ago he would have'btfon glad to get $50 ftlr any
of them.
And all this enormous Increase Is justified in the ndnd of this repu
table merchant upon the theory that the |>eople have got plenty of money
and that they must, get It now to compensate them for the small margins
of the hard times that are sure to copie back spmo day.
Is thfa foundation well assumed? fs money as plentiful as the mer
chant believes? .. , , : . t ,
It may lie true’ In'the case of those who are themselves producers and
have things to sell. The; manufacturer, the farmer,' the stockholder
all Imre bulging pockets now.
But what of tho employee,.the salaried man working for wages
month liy month? In tho majority of cases hls wages have not been
advanced, niul he gets no more money In prosiwrous times than In
’hard times," as they are called. Incases where great corporations like
tho steel trust, tho Pennsylvania rul! road anil a few other great Institu
tions havo advanced wages, tho advance haa never gone beyond the lev-
"el of a 10 per cent Increase.
Now how docs thfa balance against the enormous increase In the
price of the commodities and small luxuries of life? There fa not an ar
ticle sold over the coiniters or ou the marts today that fa not at least 20
per cent higher than they were five years ago. In many Instances they
reach to 50 and 60 per cent, and in the case of the Texas merchant they
reach to the great height of 90 aiiu 125 |ier cent!
Whoro, then, does Uic.glory of tills prosperity cover like a garment tho
vast army of the salaried melt of America? Whoro docs tho sunshine
hit these fellows whose wages know no change beyond a possible 10 per
cont In raro cases?
Suppose a tnau with a family gets $100 a month. Time was when he
could have "lived like a lord," comparatively, upon that salary—the time
when wood was $2.00 a cord and eggs 15c and 20c a dozen. Suppose ho
get* now n 10 per cent advance. Thou with a salary of $110 a month, lie
huya wood at $3.75 n cord, eggs at 15e to 60c and every commodity at uu
average advance of 8* per cent? The question If the man with $100 a
month in hard tlmoa could livo bettor and save more at hard times
prices, than he could llvo and lave with $110 at prosperity prices, how
much of a song or a psalm fa this mnn expected to sing to the glory of
prosperity?
I don't know how groat a proportion of our population Is made up
of those wage earners and salary makers, but I reckon them nt a pretty
considerable number—at least n number largo enough to voice the query
whether It fa good policy to lielabor them with high prices until they be-
como dissatisfied with prosperity and to make them friends and well
wishers to hard times.
Well, the longer I llvo and the more I travel the more do I realize,
and that gratefully, how much all traveler; are Indebted to tho drum
mers.
The organized drummer fa the power which really regulates the rail
roads, and who really reforms the hotels. ,
So far as the railroads arc regulated at all to the consideration of
the traveling public It fa through the wholesome and aggregate protests
of tho commercial traveler.
And ns for the hotels, why they wouldn't be habitable but for the
peaceful reforms which tho great army of movlug commerce has wrought
out. It fa perfectly amazing how really neat and dainty hotels are
scattered about In the small towns of tho country to tempt the drum
mers for a longer stay and for a stop over on Sunday.
They are not all good—God save ns, no!
Hut they are Improving and tho good ones are multiplying every
where. Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi are full of them. Al
abama has a few and they are Increasing every year In Georgia. When
ever they are good they are popular and coining money.
And wherever you happen on one of them, couple with the fervent
grace which you say at dinner a benediction upon the commercial traveler
who Is the founder and tho patron of them all.

as the sands of the seashore.
The number of iiersons killed or In
jured on the railroads of America lait
year was 92,006. The Southern rail
way's share of thfa was out of propor
tion to Its relation to the other rail
roads.
There fa a grim sarcasm la tho trag
ic taking off of Samuel Spencer.
“A Health to Uncle Remus."
As the old saying goes, some are
bora great, sonic achieve greatness
and wm have greatness thrust upon
them.
The phrase may now apply In dou
ble-barrel fashion to Joel Chandler
Harris, the sage of Snap-I>ean farm,
at the Sign of the Wren’s Nest.
Mr. Harris achieved greatness so
long ago that everybody knows about
It. Now ft lias been thrust upon him
In such fashion that he has been una
ble to evade it. The perpetrator
caught him in an unexpected quarter
and sand-bagged him into a greater
fame. The nimblenexs that Uncle
Remus showed when the University of
Pennsylvania attempted to doctor him
with an I.L.D., along with Kaiser Wil
helm and President Roosevelt, could
not parry this thrust.
A 5 cents cigar named for him?
Nay.
More intent than that.
A song has Iteou written about him.
A copy of It has just reached tho of
fice of The Georgian. It fa called "A
Health to Uncle Remits," written by
X. Nathan and published by N. Hit-
lery & Co.. New York. It I* affection
ately dedicated to him on the event
of hls birthday, December 9.
Inasmuch as the shop does not pos
sess a piano and the editorial depart
ment fa lacking In ability to whistle a
tune, we are nimble to guess what the
music sounds like, but If It is up to
the sentiment of the verses, "A
Health to Uncle Remus" Is going to
he mighty impular and we will all join
In the finale:
"Here's to mirth and laughter that
chased away care,
"Here's to Uncle Remus, of our
Southland so fair."

“America holds the world's record for
speed with the standard. The life-
saving service is now Installing mo
tors in their lifeboats with tremendous
gain In efficiency," said an ethusiastlo
motor boat man today. “When these
men go hut for work the boat can be
handled by the motor and the men re
serve their strength for important
work.
'So, if the Bermuda race will bring
about the more extended use of the

will be of the greatest value to man

Emmons for Quality.
Says Sherlock Holmes
of Man and His Clothes:
“I hare often observed,?’ said Slierloek Holmes,
“that the man who is careful ot hiB clothes is careful of
his business, careful of his reputation, careful in ev
erything. Clothes indicate character. A man who can
afford to dross well and doesn’t, is weak somewhere and
fails to show the proper respect for himself, his family
and his associates.”
Emmons Clothes are the kind that will make you
appear well-dressed. More than that, they will wear
well and hold their good shape to the last—the best mate
rials, together with hand-tailoring are the guarantee
of that part. Emmons pi’ices, too, are reasonable, very,
when you consider Emmons quality.
