STERDAY MORNING ■no GET Wk C, L SHOPS <• ’*' v -—♦ — WNTATIVES OF SOUTH ATLANTIC COAST LINE AND B. Sl B. PRESENT. Instead of Injuring Brunswick, the Change Means That More Em ployes Will be Added to the Shops. Another conference of the officials of the taree lines of railroads center ing In Brunswick was held here yes terday, and, as usual, a whole lot of ■j'Fd tape" and star chamber sessions Here trie order of the day. Those pro Int were: =HUeneral Superintendent W. B. Den Ham and Division Superintended Wright, on the part of the Atlannc CoastfhJne, Superintendent fiaughn, General Agent Thompson and General Freight Agent McClesky, of the South ern, and President Macnen, General Manager McDuffie and Superintendent W'estrick, on the part of the B. & B. ab stated above, me actual purpore of the meeting seemed to have been shrouded with considerable railroad secrecy. However, it has developed that primarily the meeting was called as between the Coast Line and the Southern for the purpose of taking up the question of swßstouig charges at Brunswick, and a Nsws correspond ent has it that amicable arrangements have been made by the representa tives present, which, when confirmed t>y tlie general officers of the respec tive companies, will he perfectly satis factory to the Brunswick patrons of the two lines. Later In the day another eonference held in which the B. & B. was Represented by the officers nameu above. At this eonference the ques tion of the removal of the Atlantic Coast Line shops was the only matter considered and the Southern officials not being interested In tills matter were not in attendance, it is under stood that In this conference the B. & B. people proposed to the Coast Line to pay a reasonable rental for the shops to that company and the pro position was to include all work of the Coast Line In the shops, which is to be done under the auspices of the H & B. In other words, the B. & B. people want shop facilities in Brunswick. The Coast Line think it advisable to remove a portion of their shops from Brunswick, hence a trace was In line. The B. & B. people, it. Is under stood, propose to keep In tact the present organization at the shops and in addition to doing the work of the two lines in Brunswick, will engage extensively in the car building indus try, and it is estimated that at least five hundred cars of various kinds will be constructed In the shops next year if present plans carry. in other words the situation re duces itself to a last analysis, which means that the present force at the A. C. L. shops will probably oe allow ed to retain their places and that the only actual difference will be that they will report to the B. & B. in stead of the Coast Line as has here tofore been the case. Ordinarily this seems to be a happy solution of the situation, for the sim ple fact that it now seems that only those men who up to this time have been assigned to other places will lose their positions and that in a gen eral measure the organization of tne shops in this city will remain as they are now. The Southern and Coast Line offi cials returned to their respective homes last night. SECRETARY HAY DINED CROWN PRINCE SIAM.

Mississippi Has Obligations of Over Half a Million Dollars to Meet. Jackson. Miss.. Oct. 11. —With out standing obligations to be met next month amounting to over a half mil lion dollars, and only $200,000 now in the vaults of the treasury, it will be necessary for the state of Mississippi to make an issue of bonds within the next 30 days, and it is probable that the first issue will exceed $250,000. The state funds have been at a low ebb for the past three months, owing to the fact that the tax payments for the fiscal year have nearly all been made, and the expense of erecting the new state house has been a heavy drain on the finances. Thus far the structure, which is rapidly nearing completion, has been erected without the issuance of a single bond, although the legislature authorized a million dollar issue, but the state officials wisely deemed it best to use the gen eral fund of the treasury to the limit and thus save a goodly sum in interest and also reduce the maximum of the issue. In November the treasury will he compelled to pay out $200,000 for state pensions, $27,000 for the Chickasaw school fund, and about $25,000 for rhe current expenses of government. The last legislature authorized the use of the state house and bond Issue .for the general fund, and the bonds wlll run for a period of 30 years and hear In terest at 4 per rent. Orphan Boy Suicides.
