TEXAS RAILROADS EilT BY DAMAGE SUITS Houston, Tex., Statistics for thirty-two of the leading railroads of Texas that comprise about 93 per cent, of the mileage of the State and do about 97 per cent, of the tfusinss, show the abnormal growth of the damage suit in dustry in Texas during the past fiscal year. The sworn records of these roads show that the enormous sum of $2,505,084 was paid out in settlement of personal injury cases. This is an average of 184 for each mile of road operated by the loads from which the statistics are taken. The sum paid out on these suits ! was 3.40 per cent, of the total op erating revenue of the roads and was 3.40 per cent, cf the total op erating expenses of the rosds embraced in the report. This is the largest sum ever paid out in one year for personal injury suits on these roads. It is also the largest percentage of gross earnings paid out by the railroads of Texas. The increase of the outlay was $190,000 more than the year fore. The average increase each mile was $10. be for Advertise in the Bulletin.

The advance guard of drivers and cars for ths Vanderbilt Cup and International Grand Prize races and light car racss, which vill tatie place m Savannah on Xaverat" i fi,;;:;rnrrf:i, over the Chatham county roads. With the large number of entries and the world's most famous drivers, these two big blue ribbon events of auto mofeiledom will unquestionably prove the greatest road races ever held in the world. Never before have two events cf such magnitude been held at one time. Heretofore the Vander bilt Cup race was held at Long Island in October and the International Grand Prize Race at Savannah in November. Owing to the inability of the promo ters to get the proper protection for j the course during the race and the j unequalled facilities offered by Sa- j vannah, it was decided this year to j hold the big event at Savannah. It can hardly be called a curtain raiser for the Grand Prize, as it is itself such a world famous race, but it will be run first and two days later the Grand Prize race will be run, the two days being allowed to give competi tors in the Vanderbilt race ample time to overhaul and "tune-up" their big ppaeelrillers for the Grand Prize event. In these races and the light car events it is probable that over seventy-five cars will be entered. The course is seventeen miles long, and with the cars eating up distance at. the rate of SO miles an hour, it will be readily recognized that there will always be "something doing" on ev ery part of the course. Specially con structed cars have been entered, the most dare-devil drivers in the world have been secured and it is absolute ly certain that the excitement is go ing to be intense and the races the grandest sport ever held in the South and, barring unforeseen accidanta, the greatest the world has ever yet known. ROUND-T HE-STATE TOUR WILL STOP AT SAVANNAH. Savannah, Ga. The 1911 Good Roads tour around Georgia will start November 22 from Atlanta and will derlilt Cup and Grand Prize races, the world's biggest automobile events, on November 27 and 30, in addition to which Savannah has plan ned a general gala week and will ac cord 'the tourists a hcspitabls wel come. It will also afford one an ideal opportunity to see Georgia, trav eling through much cf its richest ter ritory, and over rone of its best roads. Some of the towns at which stGps will be made have generously agr'eed to entertain the tourists free of cost, zo that tlio expense of the tour will be thereby considerably re duced. Complete- iiifcrmariori as to rules, regulations rvnd prizes will be promptly and gladly furnished cn ap plication to Fred Lewie, Secretary for Tour Around Georgia, The Constitu.. tion, Atlanta, Ga. if i.t '.rijagjuginftiAMi.eg'nii'jifii mm to loir all PREVIOUS WORLD RECORDS Races at Savannah Will Be Greatest in the World. Savannah, Ga. Over seventeen miles of roadway, averaging from six- 'W. . ? 1 : f qo 4 r5 ,1 V. d IaitoI act ra thoroughly died from start to finish, the greatest racing drivers in the history of the world will pilot monster machines, especial ly constructed at enormous expense, at Savannah cn November 27 and 30, in four world famous races, two of which are the acknowledged blue rib bon events of automobiledom thess latter, the International Grand Prizes Race and the Vanderbilt Cup Race Drivers cf international fame have pronounced the Savannah course th9 finest in the world. Yet there are many people in the South Atlantic states who have never seen it. From all parts of the world people come to these races. It seems this time that the folks living right at Savan nah's door have made up their minds that they are not going to let another opportunity pass to witness these ex citing, hair-raising events, and, re membering the two Grand Prize races held in 1908 and 1910, when the win ners nosed out the next men by mere seconds in races extending over 400 miles, they have evidently decided that they are certain what they are going to get this time, for from every hamlet, town, city and metropolis come letters of inquiry. If Savannah could have her census taken during race week, she would be one of the larger flies in the country. Those who come will probably see all pre vious world's records lowered. The course will be patrolled by the local military, who made a reptuation for efficiency ir- the past two races. All nf rof nrnfits c? the races Will be civen to the military organizations There will be telephones ail around the course, and the folks at the grand stand will be continuously advised oi the progress of the leading cars There will be two large score boards on which the time of every lap will be nosted in large figures. Every one will know at any time where any car is and exactly what its standing in the race ; will be. Many times will cars going at the rate of 80 to 100 miles an hour pass one another in front of the stands. The main stand will accommodate 35,000 persons ; there will be 150. boxes, each accom dating six persons, the price of which is $50 each. There will be over one hundred parking spaces. A ticket en titling one to see the four races in a reserved seat costs $3; general admis sion tickets, entitling the holder to a seat on the general stands, are fl for each day of the races. DURING THE SAVANNAH RACES. The Indian Refining company,, which has the contract for oiling the Savan nah course for the Grand Price, the Vanderbilt Cup and the Light Car races to be held in Savannah Novemvl ber 27 and 30, will tender an enter tainment under th auspices of the Savannah Automobile Club on vember 29- ACONFEDERET PATENT. On the 23rd day of August, 1861, the Confederate States of America granted Letters Patent, No. 13, to P. R. Clements of Eu faula, Ala., covering an improve ment in water vv heels. The orig inal of this patent, which is in the possession of a Washington patent attorney, is the only one known to the United States Pat ent Office to be at present in ex istence. Its whereabouts was discovered by Mr. James T. Al len, a first assistant examiner in the office, and one of the oldest employees in point of service, now in that bureau. Mr. Allen entered the Patent Office in Sep tember, 1868, several years after the Confederate States of Amer ica ceased to exist, but he has al ways been interested in the col lection of statistics and informa tion regarding the work of Amer ican inventors Mr. Allen obtained the loan of Confederate Patent, No. 13, from which he had a plate made. There are several interesting fea tures about this patent. The term of the patent is fourteen years, whereas at that time Uni ted States patents were granted for a term of seventeen years, the period having been extended from fourteen to seventeen years by the Act of March 13th, 1861, nearly six months prior to the date of the Clements Confederate patent. The fee is fixed at forty dollars, which is very reasonable, considering the fact that the present fee for a United-1'-States patent is thirty-five dollars. Con federate money is not specified in the grant, but it is to be pre suroed that that currency wa&ihe proper legal tender in the Con federate Patent Office. The - ant bears the signature of I. P. iJenjamin, the first- Confederate Attorney General, and Rufus R. Rhodes, Confederate Commis ionor of Patents. There is room for conjecture in he serial number of the patent; data as to the previously granted patents, a round dozen in num ber, are not available. The pat entees under these may long ago have faded into dust; the inven ilons may be as worthless as the .rant under which they were is eJ. Whether or not thirteen was the sum total of patents is sued by the Confederate States is not known. Perhaps . in the possession of some old family of the South are the original records of the iong-forgotten Patent Of fice of the Confederacy. These alone can answer the question. Perhaps, carefully guarded as priceless mementoes of the past, are scattered here and ; there throughout the land of Dixie the yellowing: documents granting exclusive rights to inventions long since forgotten or su perceded. The pages of history are al ways being reopened in this T 1 .1 iU- 1 way. Liooiung uovvn me lung vista of years, one can see the struggling states south of the Mason and Dixon line, who be lieved in the right as they saw it, and sacrificed their all to support their convictions. When P. R. Clements of Euf aula, Ala., was handed Letters Patent, No. 13, of the Confederate btates oi America, the paper was clean and crackling and the signatures on it were scarcely dry. High hopes bounded in his bosom as he real ized that for fourteen years he would have protection in which to enjoy the fruits of his to'l. Even now his improved water wheels may be turning in some hamlet of the Southland, grind ing the meal that is to form the d aily bread of its citizens citi- POULTRY EXHIBITORS AT THE COUNTY - FAIR.
