The following 9gnres from the Wall Street Journal of December 2. will be of much int^^t to the people of Greefteboro, siiioe the bdnda spoken of in the appended have been referred to as offering hopes that the Norfolk Southern railroad will be enabled to build ^ Greensboro in its course southward. The Journal says: “Marketing by the bankers of the first erf Norfolk Southern’s new refund ing mortgage 60-year 5 per cent bonds, which hav^ come out since the |35,- 000.000 nM^gage was authorized early in the year to take the place of the $12,000,000 mortgage provided for in the reorganization plan, directs atten tion to the stiecessful operation of the road since Its sale at foreclosure in December, 1909. Plans for extension of the ro^, which are beinc: consum mated, mean that additional financing is imminent. “Of this mortgage, ♦31,130,000 of the bonds are reserved for retiring under- lymg bonds, that being the entire anrount of underlying securities out standing; $8,100,000 are Issuable for general corporate jpurposes, of which amoui^ $5,837,000 were sold by the comptfny cayiy in the spring to provide for the retirement of $4,360,000 notes; and $23,770,000 can be issued for ex tensions, betterments, improvements, purchase of equipment and acquisition of additional railroads. It is from this latter amount that a sale is expected soon to cover the purchase of some smalL roads adjacent to the Norfolk Soutnern. ‘That the bankers are now offering these bonds, which were sold early in the year by the company, is an evi dence that the road is coming Int^ greater favor. Recent settlement of a suit objecting to the sale of the proi> erty to the reorganization committee was one factor. Earnings of the road, which last year showed nearly 10 per cent increase, are more Important. From earnings of $3,915 per mile in 1908, the Norfolk Southern has, increas ed its business steadily each year, and in 1911 had earnings of $4,863, or 26 per cent gain in the fourty ears. “Operating expenses went up. 10 per cent last year, the same aa gross earn ings. Operating ratio was 62.03 per cent, as compared with 61.88 per cent in 1910. This speaks well for the man agement, when it is considered that wage increases made up over one- fourth of the increase in expenses. Norfolk Southern’s traffic density is low, but the management is concentra ting Its attention on this point, and year there was an increase of over 10 per cent in the number of tons of freight carried one mile per mile of road. To offset itf low traffic density, the road received a much larger ton mile rates than any of the large south ern roads. “in addition to the 607 miles of rail road which the Norfolk Southern op erates, it controls through^ ownership oil its entire stock and bcmds the John L. Roper Lumber Company, which com pany owns timber property valued at $10,000,000. Last year Norfolk South ern received dividends ^of $50,000 frbm this company, out of a total surplus of $127,000. The two companies are earning the present dividend of 2 per cent on Norfolk Southern’s $16,000,- 000 stock more than twic^ over. “There a^ms little dbubt that the road will be able to capitalize by sale of bonds the additions to the i^tem contemplated, and Mill eontiue to pay^ Its dividend. At present the road is bonded at less than $17,700 per mile.” An Innovation in Oil Heaters The P«rfection Smokies* Oil Heater, with its drums enameled in turquoise, is an ornament to any room, whether in the country or city home.

Oil Company UncorporAbea* Damaging Fire At Burlington \t (From Greensboro Recoi-d.) In a blaze lasting one hour, a jjor- tlon of the business secticm of Bur lington was damaged this morning and property valued between $25,000 and $50,000 destroyed. The fire started in the American Tobacco Company’s prizery, gaining its hold from a defec tive due in the building, and when discovered at 7:30 o’clock was already well under way in its destructive course. The large prizery with ev' ery pound of the many thousands of to bacco stored in the building was com' pletely destroyed. Occurring in a neighborhood in which the buildings were shell-like structures of wood, the first caught building went ^to smoke and ashes in short Order under the impelling force of driving wind. Tlnfc high wind was responsible for adjoining build ings ‘catching and prevented the fire men of the town from conquering the flames. The second buildifig to be de* voured was Morgan's tobacco ware house and then in rapid succession fcKtr small dwellings, the property of Mr. L. J. F'onvllle, were yielded up to fire. Early after the discovery of the Graham’. This little town has a well equipped and efficient fire fightin^ corps and the boys went to the scene of the fire early after its discovery, Although the pressure in the Burlinj ton mains was very low, the skilful Work of the firemen saved the town, from enormous property losn^ because the flames were in the heart of the business section of the city and it was thought at first that they would sweep across the whole neighborhood' After an hour’s work the blaze was fairly well under control, hut the buildings were burning for nearly three hours, the last flames being tinguished shortly after ten o'clocli, The first building burned was adja cent to the city jail, which was left standing unharmed because of the pie- vailing direction of the winds. Tlie property loss, placed at the high fig ure given here, is largely dependent upon the amount of tobacco stored In the American Tobacco Company’s priz- ery, its bulk being only a matter ol conjecture.
