THE NEW RAILROAD AND WHAT IT MEANS
That railroads are great developers is a matter of faet that is well
understood. There Isn’t a man living in this country today who has not
personally observed this. We have all seen railroads built, and read
of more, and in each ease have seen the wonderful development which
followed the building of these roads.
And the reason for this is plain. A railroad opens new opportuni
ties. It will allow that done In transportation which was impossible be
fore. It makes possible the development of resources which could not
be developed before. If causes new Investments to be made, and it
causes new men to come In. These bring new thoughts, and new
means to put plans into execution. And the result of all this is new
life, new enterprises, greater progress and increasing prosperity. This
has been the uniform story along 'he line of every railroad that was
ever built.
It will bo the story along the lint of this new railroad. The fart
that there arc other railroads will not prevent It; rather will it help. For
all these other railroads In this territory run in other directions. This
railroad crosses them all. If !:: a great trunkline in the direction in
which the heaviest-trade of the future will lie, and It runs through a
country rich In natural resources, and/until now awaiting the coming of
a road to put ll In close touch with the outer world. This road now
being built this long dormant development will spring into life, and it
will produce a wonderful change all along the line In the development
and growth of business and the prosperity that will follow.
Representative citizens of all towns and sections along the lower end
of the line are In Augusta today, the guests of the railroad apd of the
city. They have come to make the acquaintance of our people as home,
and to get "the lay of the laud.' In a short lime this excursion will be
reversed, and representative citizens of Augusta will go down the line,
lo Its end, make the acquaintance of these good people in their homes,
and "get the lay of the land." Thus fully acquainted all will he prepared
to act together, for mutual benefit.
Everybody understands how the closest relationship between the
people along the lino of this new railroad will be helpful. It will make
business along this railroad boom. Nothing succeeds like success, and
the more business along -this road ean be boomed the more it will grow.
It will make all Ihe thrifty young towns along the line grow as the
trees beside the waters; it will provide better markets for the farmers
and so bring greater prosperity to the farms. The opportunities pre
sented by this railroad used for all they are worth, within a few years
this new .territory, the last to be opened up, will be the most advanced
In the state.
Clearly seeing and understanding this, the visit of our new neigh
bors to the efly today marks the beginning of a new era for this entire
section, and from this event will date business connections which will
endure and grow and become the foundation for individual fortunes and
of powerful factors In the future development and prosperity of the
state.
RED CROSS CHRISTMAS STAMPS
The Red Cross Christmas stamps are on sale now. In Ihe lobby of
the postoffloo by permission of the government a stand for their sale
will be maintained by the Burden Hearers of the King’s Daughters, who
will also sell them in their homes. They may also be obtained at head
quarters, 206 Montgomery Building.
As everybody understands, these stamps are sold to help In the ant 1-
tuberculosls fight. Every rent realised from their sale will be turned
Into this fund. Ii Is well to understand that this money does not go
Into the general fund of the Red Cross Society, but goes to Ihe local
fund, In the city where the stamps are sold, to help fight the great
white plague.
The Idea of using these Red Cross stamps originated In Wilmington,
Del , only two years ago. II was hoped that as many as 40,000 stamps
would be Bold If those sending Christmas letters and Christmas presents
through the malls would use these stamps, lint no sooner were the
stamps placed on stile than there came such a demand for them that it
was impossible sometimes lo supply it. From Wilmington their use
quickly spread to other cities, and millions of them were sold the first
season.
Now they are sold in every city throughout the country. The gov
ernment has extended the privilege of their sale In every government
building for the period before the holidays. By their sale and use a
large amount of money can be raised, which will help much in the light
against tuberculosis that is now on.
Everybody should help In this cause In the way that has been
planned. It Is a pleasant custom and peculiarly appropriate to Christ
mas and the Christmas spirit, to show interest In the cause of humanity
represented by these little stamps.
THAT MARSHAL NEY STORY AGAIN
While Iconoclasts are busy smashing Idols In the shape of old stories
fn regard to men and women which have been accepted with unwaver
ing faith for ages, others are working the opposite way. While the
long cherished stories about these old hemes are being rudely torn to
tatters, industrious efforts are being made to create the same faith in
new ones.
Of these latter is the story of Marshal Ney of France. This bravest
of tin- brave of Napoleon’s marshals took the oath of allegiance to King
Fouls X\ nl after Napoleon’s fall In ISt 4, and was retained in high com
mand in the French army. Being sent against Napoleon, after the
latter's return from Riba. Marshal Ney with his whole army went over
to the returned exile, lie distinguished himself in Napoleon’s last
campaign, after th p battle of Waterloo was taken prisoner, tried for
high treason, condemned to death, and shot by a file of soldiers.
It was a sad ending of a military career of glory, a pitiful deuth
for a man to die whose bravery had kindled the admiration of friend
and foe. But this sad story Is only too true.
Some venrs ago some scribbler with a fertile Imagination set forth
the claim that nn old school teacher in North Carolina was really Mar
shal Ney, masquerading as a pedagogue In the North Carolina back
woods. This claim was not made until this old man was dead, when
of course it could not be dlsproven by a positive declaration from aim.
Some vague facts, real or Imaginary, were presented to prove the
claim, as easily can b t « done with move or less plausibility in regard
to any claim of this nature. Although the Inconsistency of these al
leged proofs was easily apparent, some people believed this absurd
story, and from time to time it bobs up again with the declaration of
some one that It Is certainly true.
The latest of these is the Anderson Mail. It claims that "the
French soldiers charged with his (Ney’si execution loved him so well
that they entered into a conspiracy to save his life and succeeded
When the order was given to tire they aimed over his head, and at
the crack of the guns Ney, having been told what to do, fell face
downward on the ground. lU> was hurriedly picked up and carried
away, and spirited out of the country, while what was supposed to be
his body was buried 111 an awaiting graw Ney made his way to Char
leston, and, after two or three years spent tn seclusion, during which
time he devoted himself to study, he made his debut as a school teach
er, and taught successfully for a number of years tn this state and in
North Carolina, lie told a few or his Intimate friends of his identity
and they guarded his secret well until after his death. Since his death
other and convincing evidence has been secured to show that the story
that the teacher told was true."
Little can be said to undeceive those who are determined to be
lieve an absurd story. But others will remember that men do nothing
without a reason for it, and there was absolutely no reason for Mar
shal Ney, had he lived In this country between 1825 and ISSS, to hid-'
his identity As Marshal Ney he would not only have been as safe
as he could be incognito, but he would have been honored as Americans
are always ready to honor a brave man and a great soldier. This
alone Is enough to dispose of this old schoolmaster story.
But isn’t it natural for North Carolina to set up such a claim?

THE ADVERTISING OF CHURCHES
r he Value of Newspaper Advertising is Beginning to be Recognized
and Made to Aid the Church Work
Aside entirely from our interest In
any small revenue there may be In
tie- advertising, we are gratified to
see that the churches of New Orleans
are beginning to make use of adver
tising space in The Item for announc
ing their Sunday services.
For a long time this paper has run,
and continues to run, a list of church
services free; but it seems that what
is not worth paying for in this world
is not worth having. Among some
denominations, at least, there has
grown a realiaztion of the fact that
th. business of a great daily newspa
per is to inform, that if information
could be conveyed in more satisfac
tory fashion than by newspaper ad
vertising we would never have had
the marvelous development of news
paper advertising that has taken
place.
In the early days of the develop
ment of newspaper circulation, adver
tising was greatly misused. As a re
suit, among some of the more conser
vative classes of the community, there
gre w up ;iti impression that it was
noisy, or cheap, or unethical, to con
vey Information by means of the
printed page. Any modern observer
of advertising and of advertising
agencies will agree that this condi
tion has passed, that a bank, a pro
fessional man, a manufacturer, or a
retailer who has news to give to the
world regarding the nature of the
business done cannot convey that In
formation so rapidly or satisfactorily
by any other method.
If a church wishes to invite peo
ple to attend its services, if it wishes
to carry out the work of conveying Its
interpretation of doctrine to the
world, It falls in its duty if it does
not make proper use of every proper
lorm of Informing the public. Strang
«rs In a city hesitate to go where they
are not. Invited. People who are not
members of the church do not real
ize that almost all churches are glad
to add to their membership. Busy
people look to their newspapers to
be reminded regarding almost all
The extraordinary patience ot the
American people in the face of the re
cent growth of monopolies is not due
to their indifference to economic
slavery.
The people have had patience be
cause they have believed that the
monopolies were only temporary, and
■ that the big organization of industry
would in the long run cheapen the
necessaries of life.
Let the country awake to the fact
that the high organization of industry
would in the long run cheapen the
) necessaries of life.
Let the country awake to the fact,
that the great combinations are set
tling down to a tyranny of arbitrary
taxation, and that the popular indig
nation will recoil with a vigor that
will astonish the monopolists.
Such an awakening seems to be at
hand.
And the actual establishment of the
'threatened bread trust would be the
kind of an event best fitted to raise
I the alarm.
In this day of varied diets it mas
be that an arbitrary increase In the

The Threat of a Bread Trust
forms of activity outside business
hours. A great many very good peo
ple who are not regular attendants
of any one church want to go where
the sermon will discuss a phase of
religious thought which appeals most
to their interests. They cannot se
cure this information regarding the
hours of service and the like except
through the columns of a newspaer.
In one sense the newspapers belong
to everyone. Their advertising col
umns are open to convey every form
of information, to convey all sorts of
views and opinions. They belong to
the people, to a great extent, Just as
the street cars, the gas, electric light,
the telephone and the malls belong to
the public. Their purpose is the divi
sion of information, and as long as a
man or woman, a firm or corpora
tion, has proper information to give
to the public through the newspaper’s
advertising columns, it Is the business
if the paper to accept and publish that
advertisement.
It is a pleasure, however, to every
newspaper publisher who is interested
In the advancement of the calling to
see those make use of publicity who
have a good cause to serve and a good
end to accomplish. We trust that
in time the churches of New Orleans
will come to do what the churches of
a great many other cities have al
ready done, that is to announce each
Saturday the theme of the sermon to
be preached on Sunday, the name of
the preacher, the hours of the service
and other special features of the ser
vice that are of interest.
It should be borne in mind that the
work of the church lies not among
those who are within the fold, hut
among the many who are outside the
fold. Many of these are unable to
attend church at all. but are of a se
rious nature and have interest in
church work. They are benefited by
reading about religious activities, and
a standing invitation to attend church
serivees is one of the surest ways to
attract them. —New Orleans Item.
cost of a loaf of bread would be no
more intolerable than some other ex
actions.
But the fact that bread has, through
all ages, stood as the symbol of hu
man sustenance still plays a large
part in the imagination and emotion
of men.
And no conceivable monopoly would
be more dangerous to its promoters
than a monopoly of “the staff of life.’’
There are no lengths of radical re
form to which men of our race will
not go rather than submit permanent
ly to the private monopoly of bread
stuffs.
When the nation Is thoroughly
aroused on the subject, and convinced
of the ineffectf’rtness of easy and pal
liative remedies remedies will be
found that will cut to the quick of. the
difficulty.
For America has no notion of aban
doning its faith in free government.
And it is a commonplace of history
that government and permanent
private monopolies of food cannot
possibly go together. New York

why Halley’s comet, now nearing the

Ii NEW AFRICAN RAILROAD
The railway invades a new field.
One twelve miles long is to run from
Tawaki, off Steamer Point, Aden,
through the old town or camp, and
thence to Shaikh Othoman, the out
post of British territory in Arabia.
The surveys and plans of construc
tion have all been worked out, and the
concessionaires are now only waiting
the approval of Earl Morley before
beginning to lay the track. The con
cession for building the road has been
divided between a wealthy native
firm and an English company. The
entire cost of construction will be
about $400,000. The proposed rail
road will be the only one in Southern
Arabia, and will naturally be of the
greatest service to Aden, whose only
present means of communication with
the interior is by donkey and camel
service. It is expected, however, that
the road to Shaikh Othoman may be
extended within no great time through
the neighboring tribe of the Abdalli
to and beyond Lahej, their capital.—
