Boers resilience and wider political jabs in Georgia era notes
A sprawling, contemporaneous column mix depicts Boer resistance in South Africa and British aims, plus editorials praising Murphy & Co. and Atlanta business esteem. It surveys U.S. politics with jabs at Taft era figures, Gen Miles, Estrada Palma, and reforms, interleaved with literary and social squibs, jokes, and poems reflecting the era.
Rail barons face cross-country control and Moore brothers bid
A long piece argues that historic railroad consolidations led by Vanderbilt, Gould, Morgan, and Moore brothers are shaping a national lattice from the lakes to the gulf and toward the Pacific. It highlights the Louisville and Nashville as a linchpin and contemplates cross-system domination, with government rate control likely. It cites moves by Morgan, Vanderbilt, Hill interests, and Dutch and English investors, and notes ownership shifts toward the west and Moore brothers' expansion. It ends with praise for Georgia's William G Brantley and a Dow Jones/Times nod to his Democratic stance.
