The visit of the Pennsylvania Rail way officials and bankers of that State , to this section is significant. Many are of th opinion that the Pennsylvania ' Railway Company is contemplating the purchase of the Norfolk Southern Railway Company and are hoping that this surmise on their part "will prove correct. The Pennsylvania Railway . Company is a corporation who believes . in giving the travelling public the best that can be secured in every way and it Is a well known fact that they are noted for fair treatment of the towns . and people along the line of their road. The Norfolk Southern people are handicapped, so it is said, by a lack of large finances and are not able to oper ate the road as they would like to do This may be the cause of poor facili ties and limited equipment, then again it may not.

The arrange ments made by Hon. , Wm. J.

He has received numerous ' sugges tions concerning a still wider, distribu tion of -these statistics, and he has made arrangements with the Postmaster General to allow postmasters in every postoffice in counties where cotton grown to post in a conspicuous bar When I put out to sea.

The choice by a violator of the speed hw of a day in jail in preference to a fine of $25 appears to have been the last straw and the patience of the ewspapers, if not the public has at last collapsed.- "As a matter of fact, what essential ' difference is there between the drunken fool who empties his revolver on crowder thoroughfare, and the . other . fool who hurtles through it at 40 miles an hour in an automobile, except that sometimes the latter has not even the poor excuse of intoxication? A . motor ' car has been judicially adjudged a dead ly weapon; a man who takes a pot shot at another with a gun is no less a criminal because he chances to miss . his target; and the man who endangers the lives of pedestrians by reckless driv ing is no . less a criminal because he happens not to hit anybody.".- "- ' Every city has to contend with the speed maniac.
