In organising this department the
Southern Railway is endeavoring to
aid farmers to Increase their yields
per acre to follow the saost approved

to prove of direct benefit to the
farmers before It can Indirectly benefit

Mr. Susman came here sixteen
years ago from Wilmington, N. C.,
and organised the Susman Furniture
Company, which was subsequently
merged Into the Southern Furniture
Company. In 1902 he organized the
Eastern Life Insurance Company. He
hag also erected an attractive residence
on West Main street and also
built several stores on Market and
Water strets. Since 1905 Mr. Susman
has been actively engaged In the
telephone business and is at presenj
operating lines in twenty-two counties

It will be a pleasure to know that Mr.
Susman will continue to have a
branch office in Washington. As now
it will be located In the Rodman
building, corner of Main and Market
streets and will be in d-irect charge of
Mr. C. C. Cratch. It is the purpose
of Mr. Busman to visit this city at
least once every month. Mr. Susman
regrets exceedingly to part with his
many friends here, but his business is
such that it forces him to locate in
another city, Richmond, which is
nearer his field of labor. The best
