Not a few of these lines chartered
are short lings going Into big systems,
while still olhers represent the begin

and figures contained In this article
have been compiled from the records
In the office of the secretary of state,
and are authentic In every way.
During 1906 no lest than thlrty-teven
separate and dlatlnct lines were char'
tereil. Of 1 til a number thlrty-nve rep
resented steam roads, while two were
long Interurban electric llnee. Work
has already commenced on one of the
electric lines and work Is to begin on
the other shortly, so It Is said. Work
has nlso commenced on a considerable
percentage nf the steam lines.
These thirty-seven lines represent a
total mileage of X.77B. and a capital
stock of 49,710,000. The longest line la
350 miles and tho shortest two. The
largest capital stock Is $1,000,000 and

posing room. If It Is a happening in
the state or near by It comes by th*
regular telegraph companies to thfr
atate news editor, who "handles It'
the same way. Everybody hn« his i
c on The Georgian-plenty of It,
hut not too much.
You ought to watch those linotypes
make typr. They don't "set'' tt, you
know They moM tt fmm hot metat trr
lines just the length of these you are
reading. The operator alts before the
big machine and touches keys very
much like those of a typewriter, and
the machine dobs the rest—but Alca
Huddleston helps.
Alca Huddleston Is The Georgian's
machinist. He does nothing else but
keep those eight linotypes In good
order—and that keeps him busy, for
linotype Is as cranky and dellcatf
a piece of mechanism as one ever saw.
Hw Ism watch Is os coarse as a
wheelbarrow In comparison. Mr. Hud
dleston explained tho operation of the
nnrhlne to the boya and girls who
rowded around.
Operators Aro Experts.
"All the operator does," he explained.
Is to press the right keys and keep
his eye and his mind on what he Is
doing—and that'a what everybody must
• succeed In anything. These little
brass things are the molds In which
the type Is cast. One comes to Its
proper place every time the operator
presses the key. Then the melted metal
In the pot Is squeexed Up against the
old to make a line of letters. Watch
the long arm come down and carry the
type back tn distribute It."
He told the boys ami girls something
else about the typesetting machine, t«s».
Here are some of the things;
"It was Invented about twenty yean*
ago by n German named Otto Mer-
gunthaler. It was a crude affair then,
but many expert men have added lit
tie Improvements until today It seems
to be perfect, nut next year there wll‘
be new- Jinprtiyeinenis whUh will mak<
the present^maefitnea ~ almnxt baeft
numbers. That Is the way the world Is
going ahead."
Work of 8ix Mon.
An expert operator can set as much
type on the machine ns six expert
men can set by the old hand method. A
good average operator will set about
thirteen columns of the ordinary type
used In the body of The Georgian In
one dayv>f eight hours.
A modern linotype contains between
,000 and 8,000 separate parts. It coats
between IS.00Q and $4,000.
An average operator will strike the
keys on the machlno about 75,000 times
In n day of eight hours.
It requires about six months to learn
to be an average operator. Rut each
man must, serve at least four years In
other departments before he received
his "union card" and Is permitted to
learn the machine.
.The children saw the last form down
the chute In the composing room and
then paid a visit to the stereotypers
and the press room. Next week The
Georgian wilt tell something of these
departments.
