OLD HEROES PASSING AWAY
Only Twenty-Four Left of First
Company That Enlisted
In The Civil War
An old man, towards the sunset of
life when he can almost hear the echo
of the waves that beat on the eternal
shore and at that twilight hour when
the stars of the tomb become almost
visible, is prone to be reminiscent, to
recall the days of his youth and to
throw a glamour over the past, when
he went to “de war/’
So W. F. Gold's memories dwell on
his fallen comrades of Capt.Augustus
W. Burton’s Company E. of 12th
North Carolina regimentthat marched
proudly 120 strong from Shelby in
1801 — 51 years ago. Me says of that
company every commissioned officer

SHOW BIG INCREASE
President’s Annual Report Shows
Enormous Business Done by
Company the Past Year
Few people realize the enormity of
the business done annually by the big
railroad systems of the country. On
the 10th of this month, at the meeting
of the board of directors of the Mis
souri Pacific System in New York,
President B. F. Bush submitted his re
port showing the receipts and disbur
sements for the fiscal year ending July
1. His report shows that the company
has 7,2.51 miles of road in operation,
and the operating revenue for the year
was $54,503,250, an increase of 3.27
per cent, notwithstanding a loss in
passenger revenues of more than a
quarter of a million dollars. Operat
ing expenses, $41,280,592, a decrease
of 41 per cent. Net oj>erating revenue,
$13,222,058., or practically a 40 per
cent increase. Ratio of operating ex
penses to operating revenues was 755
per cent against 82 percent the prev
ious year. To the above net operating
revenue was added income from other
sources amounting to $2,237,460., mak
ing the net corporate income $15,
400,118.
The gross corporate obligations
were: Loss from outside operations
(dining cars, etc.,) $128,853,; taxes,
$2,243,390.; interest, rentals, equip
ment rentals etc., $15,074,977: total,
$17,439,210. The net income shows a
gain over the previous year's • opera
tions of more than $3,250,000, to which
gross earnings contributed only $1,
725,657.
Taxes increased more than 13 per
cent, and interest payments 10 per
cent.
The capital expenditures for the
year were $10,756,025, of which $5,615,
600, was for cars and locomotives, and
$1,027,900 for new construction. The
balance went for miscellaneous work,
rails, ballast, sidings, widening cuts
and 611s, station buildings, etc. This
is exclusive of those items of improve
ments accomplished and charged to
maintenance, both of roadway and
; equipment, the total (if the latter two
aggregating an expenditure of nearly
I $17,000,000.
1‘ronounced progress has been made
in the restoration of this excellent
property. The closing remarks of the
annual report characteristically set
this forth and introduce an accusation
; new in such documents, for the patrons
of the road are credited with a parti
i cipation in what has been achieved.
| The closing paragraph reads:
i “It is believed that the close of the
i liscal year established a conspicuous
mile-post in the history of your prop
erty, for at that time the territory it
serves was giving every evidence of
revival, aroused by the promise of
bountiful crons of every description,
and in no small part due to theexpan
sive activities of the communities in
their own behalf, and which in turn
has brought these people into a closer
association with and understanding
of your company's affairs. Such a
marked advance could scarcely have
been made without the substantial and
efficient support of the officers and em
i ployes, in whose hands rest the im
mediate conduct of the business. Lo
cal and Federal enactments cumula
tively have imposed burdens,of which
the public gives evidence of having a
growing realization, and which, it is
believed, wise councils will eventually
undertake to lighten. This lends furth
ee-encouragement to what must be re
garded as a gratifying outlook.’’

I’ve another case of biliousness.
“Take anything?”
“Yes; some pills, but no results; sup

double the dose, then they physic me so
hard I'm too weak to work. Think I’ll
have to try something new.”
“Ever try Prickly Ash Bitters?”
“No; I’ve heard a good deal a1>out it,

“Well, you’ll be pleased with the re

promotes daily evacuations, establishes
healthy movements and is the best
known remedy for disordered digestion,
flatulence and a constipated li. bit.
