This picture is from the Gerinan comic weekly, Kladderadatceh, and gives an idea of the eutonic esti
mate of Colonel Roosevelt's South American exploit. Kladderadatch explains that “the natives discovered by
Colonel Roosevelt in South America, according to all advices, must be web-footed and have mouths that
open back of their ears.”
314,900,000 FOF
DOUBLE TRACK,
SO.RY. PLAN
The Atlanta and Charlotté Air
f.ine Railway, which is a part of the
Southern Railway system, has applied
to the Georgia Railroad Commission
for authority to issue $20,000,000 of
first mortgage bonds, for the purpose
of completing at once the double
tracking of the road from Atlanta to
Charlotte.
The road proposes to use $5,500,000
in retiring some matured bonds, and
the remaining $14,600,000 is to be
used in the work of double-tracking,
and in the addition of somé necessary
terminal facilities. The bonds are to
be issued from time to time, as ap
proved by the Commission.
The Southern already is double
tracked about 40 miles between At
lanta and Galnesville, and it is the
purpose of the road to push its dou
ble tracking to Charlotte at once.
Bond Permit Assured.
By the time this work is completed
the Southern will be double tracked
all the way from Atlanta to Wash
ington. ;
The commission has set the hearing
on the bond application for June 10,
and it seems assured that the petition
will be approved.
The total distance to Charlotte from
Atlanta is 263 miles, and with 40
miles already double tracked there
are 223 remaining miles to equip in
that manner.
The division of the Southern from
Birmingham, via Atlanta, to Wash
ington is the cream of the system
and its business has grown so heavy
of late that complete double tracking
is necessary.
Vital Railway Move.
The bonds asked for are to be 30-
vear, payable in gold, and carrying 5
per cent interest.
The Railroad Commission views the
proposed doubie tracking of the
Southern as one of the most impor
tant and significant works of railroad
extension ever coming tc the atten
tion of the commission.
It is almost impossible for the
Southern now to handle its great
business between Atlanta and the
East.

THE GEORGIAN'S NEWS BRIEFS
Financier Doubtful
0f Early Trade Boom
NEW YORK, May 30.—Alvin W,
Krech, president of the Fquitable
Trust Company, is a skeptic on any
immediate improvement in business,
and believes it will take some univer
sal factor to turn the tide.:
“Such a factor,” said Mr. Krech,
“would be bountiful crops. but these
must be irrevocably assured before
general improvement can take place.
“I do.not believe we have anywhere
near reached the limit of the gold ex
port movement. They want gold
abroad. Our banking condition at
present permits a free movement, and
completion of the Federal reserve
organization will release still more
gold.
“Phere is phe redeeming feature in
the situation. That is the more gold
we ship the more easily can we get
what we neéd when we want it."”

HARDWICK HURL
DEBATE DEFI TG
OPPONENTS
Urges Slaton and Felder to Meet
Him on Platform — Opens
Headquarters Here.
Congressman Thomas W. Hardwick
icsued a challenge on Monday to
Governor Slaton and Thomas S. Fel
der, hig rival candidates for the un
expired term of Senator Bacon, to a
series of joint debates, and an
nounced that he will open immedi
ately State campaign headquarters in
Atlanta.
Mr. Hardwick's Atlanta headquar
ters will be located in the Kimball
House, and will be in charge of John
T. West, of Mchwaffie County, one of
the best-known ~'en in Georgia, who
will be assisted b Judge E. W. Jor
dan, of Sandersville, and Messrs. D.
G. Fogarty and (. E, Dunbar, of Au
gusta, and J. E. Hyman, of Sanders
ville.
Mr. Hardwick states that he is
much pleased with the progress of
his campaign, and proposes to can=
vass the State thoroughly.
= Replies to Slaton.
Mr. Hardwick discussed in vigore
ous language Governor Slaton's Sune
day card.
He said: “I am gratified that Mr.
Slaton is disposed to become a little
more specific than at first in outlin
ing his views and positions. As I pro
pose to show later, he still has ample
room for improvement in that re
spect.
“1 will not just at this moment un=
dertake to reply in detail to Mr. Sla
ton’'s statement. 1 shall do so later,
and fully. I will only say now that
the feature of his interview, namelv.
his charge that Mr. Felder and my<
self constitute a political partnership
for the purpose of accomplishing his
defeat, the loser to be rewarded by a
Federal appointment, is not only un
true, but silly.
“If Mr. Felder and 1 were in any
sort of partnership, we would not
both be candidates for the Senate,
and if both of us were not in this
race, no one knows better than Mr.
Slaton that even his present chance
of being an indifferent third in a con
vention fight would be goape, and he
‘would be the most unmercifully
beaten candidate that Georgia has
'seen in many years.
| Challenges His Opponents.
~ “Still, 1 congratulate the Governor
‘on his recently developed desire to
‘elucidate the issue of the campaign,
'so that the light may be turned on
before the vote is taken, I am in
'thorough sympathy with that idea,
and in order to fully co-operate in its
accomplishment I have to-day invit
ed Messrs. Slaton and Felder to join
me in a series of joint debates, in
which the public can hear us all,
weigh us all, and judge us all, man to
man and face to face. Surely a gen
tleman so brave in the newspapers as
Governor Slaton, so willing to make
unwarranted claims for his own rec
ord and unjust attacks upon those of
his opponents, will not shirk a full
and free discussion of the issues.
“The debates, if we can arrange
them, can and will be conducted on a
high plane, and can and ought to be a
‘dignifled and friendly discussion of
the public issues involved, free from
' personal bitterness or abuse. 1 be
lieve each of the candidates would
strive to accomplish that, besides the
punishment that the public would
swiftly and surely visit upon any can
didate who failed to do s¢ would be
uan additional guarantee that we could
have such debates.
“I earnestly hope that Messrs. Sla
ton and Felder will accept my sug
gestion and that the debates can be
speedily arranged.”
