Feb. 28tli, I007 Partial Report of Address by President W. W. Flu ley of jtlie Southern Railway Co., ut Atlantu, Feb. 13, 1?07. To tho Representatives of the Traffic Department : Your duties bring you into personal and daily contact with the people along the lines of the Southern Railway, aud I pro pose to speak to you briefly. Those duties are of a two fold nature. You owe duties to the Railway company, by which you are employed and you owe duties to the public. These double du ties do Aot in any way result in conflict or divided allegiance, for he serves the railway best vrho serves the public best. The general officers of o rail way have, unfortunately, too few opportunities for meeting and talking with the people who are dependent upon the road for transportation services. The man having business relations with the road, as a rule, couies into personel contact with the local representatives of the traf fic and operating departments. The policies of the ralway are formulated and mapped out by the general officers, but the ap plication of these policies to specific transactions must be en trusted in the main to men in the field. It follows, tlieu, that you have in a substantial sense the reputation of the Southern Rail-j way Company for fair and just dealing in your hands. Questions that seem to you to be trivial may be considered of inuch importance by ' the per sons asking them and they should be answered with patience and .courtesy. Of even more importance than a careful observance of duties prescribed by the company is obedience to law. Many of the relations between the railways and the public are now regulated by Federal and Slate statutes, and every official and employee of tho Southern Railway Company must understand that its busi ness affairs are to be conducted at all times in strict accordance with the laws of the laud. No transaction or practice that is /orbiddeu by the laws can be permitted, and as I am sure you all understand, thero is no re sort to evasion of any kind. Your careful attention to the wants of the people and your /considerate treatment of every one having business with the road will serve as a constant ob ject lesson of its interest iu the individuals and communities along its lines. My personal experience con vinces me that tho people as a rule nro fair minded and when fully informed can be relied upon 1o deal justly with the transpor tation interests. ? 1 feel sure that it is only neces sary to direct your attention to the importance of your relations to the public, and that we shall have your loyal support in car rying out what is the policy of the company ? the building up of a thoroughly efficient trans Eiortation system 011 the solid tasis of harmonious relations with tho people along its lines. There Is another point to which I desire to call your esnecial attention. The railway and the public are entitled to the very b?st that is in our employes, from the high est to the lowest ? they are both entitled to demand that there shall be no lukewarm or limited service, but that the heart of pt our employes shall be in their, work. All of us have voluntarily undertaken a duty in respect to this property and the railway n nd the public should receive from ouch of us full and faithful performance. I wish to build up among all our employes a spirit of interest and co-oporation ? a spirit in which each man will recognize that ho is identified with tho railway and will earnestly and honestly work for its welfare. I Only in this way can we success fully administer the trust which )iuu been confided to us. Home I)lM|><'tiKury I>otn. Dr. W. J. Dunn of this city, Mr. K. T. Estridge of Bethune, jmd M. H. Rabon of Lugoff, have been appointed as the new dis pensary board for Kershaw county. They havo been com missioned, and will likely pro ceed to work promptly. ? ? The Stato dispensary board 1 iyorlfCf} only tWQ days last week, I and are said to have unearthed already something like $18,000 in shortages. This doesn't show up very well for the manage went or mismanagement of for mer dispensary boards. ? ? ? We await with interest tbe outcome of the efforts of the new board to collect these shortages. It is going to be an up-hill job. It may be worth the trial, may be not. ? ? ? The county board of Charles ton will allow the operating of beer dispensaries. The license is $500, the dispensers to give l>ond in the sum of $3,000 for the faithful observance of the law. This refers to wholesale dealers. ? ? County dispensaries will be supplied and checked up as rapidly as |>ossible after giving uotice that they are ready to do business. It is said that the stock in the several county dis pensaries is in good order, and as a rule, saleable. ? * ? There should be no misunder standiug as to the status of the law as to the opening of beer dispeusuries, or in the granting of hotel privileges. These places should be allowed. They can do but little if any harm, aud will swell the revenue. If there is uo revenue, tlieu cut them out. Free Seed. We are in receipt, through the courtesy of our Congressman, Llou. D. E. Finley. with his com pliments to the public, of u quantity of garden seed for free distribution by us. We will take pleasure in making the distribu tion, so any one desiring them can call and secure one package. Applicants must call in persou and must not expect more thau one package as the supply is limited. The idea is to get the seed as wiJely disseminated as possible, and the department will be glad to have you report your success with them. Many Orphans and Little Bread. There is in tne Thornwell Orphanage, located at Clinton, S. C. , 240 orphan boys and girls, in process of securing an educa tion. These boys aud girls are of all ages from six years of age up to 17 or 18. The older pupils by their zealous labors help to support and care for the young, putting in each day four to six hours of steady work in the shops aud farms and kitchen and about the same time daily on their books. In this way the cost of caring for the whole family is lessened by many thousands of dollars, liut the great majority of the children are very small, only a care instead of a help and must be aided in every way. The support of these children rests upon good men and women who love the orphans and freely ii id them. Just at present, there is special need of assistance and every gift be it of provisions or of money will be promptly ac knowledged. Every denomina tion in the State is represented among the children, but the in stitution is under Presbyterian control. All gifts should be sent to Rev. Win. P. Jacobs, Clinton, S. C. Provisions, simply to Thornwell Orphanage, Clinton, S. C. It is suggested that in each community in the State, some one undertake to raise sup plies for aid of these children. Playing It Fine. Minor, Ga. Feb. 18. Converted lo religion by the preaching of an Atlanta minister, assisted by a paralytic cripple, Dr. E. P. Little, a prominent physician and surgeon here, has made a bonfire of all playing cards in his drug store. "I cannot sell playing cards which may lead to gambling," declared Dr. Little to one of his clerks. They must go, and go at once. " Within a few minutes' time, Dr. Little had every playing card in his stock piled up in front of his store: Kindling was placed around them, and the colord pasteboords were soon in flames. We think the good doctor could have done better with Ins cards. He could for instance, have sold them to the tirhi from which he bought tliein at a paying price to them and devoted the pro ceeds to the church. That money would not have been tainted any more than dispensary money, or Rockefeller offerings. Playing cards will be used to the end of time, and manufactured as long as paper is made. ??'?

Trial bottle free, "The Wild Rom9 Died of Her Buna. "Wild Rose, the monkey girl from Yucatan/' is dead. The burns received Saturday night, as tho result of an accident, proved fatal, although she was given the best attention at the hospital. The carnival people are very much disheartened. The "Wild Rose'* was a de formity, a creature that barely knew how to reason but was a human being with a glimmer of intelligence, knowing when to do the "turns" whether the com mands were spoken in English, French or Spanish and occa sionally there would be in the eyes of the creature a show of intelligence that was not animal but human. Last night she lay in the morgue at an undertaking establishment and the members of the carnival company went over and some of them wept. For they felt a certain kind of love for the poor deficient crea ture. It has been a hard week with ttyem, the crowds at the shoWfe have been poor .and this is the last of a series of mishaps. They go to Belton this after noon, but as one of the company expressed it. "There's not much heart in the work with present luck." "Wild Rose, the monkey girl," was the star attraction of the shows owned by Mr. and Mrs. Geo. A. Bald wiu, Saturday night she was left alone iu her room near the corner of Main aud Lady streets and it is sup posed the tluffy flannelette robe she wore caught lire from the stove. Before an alarm could be sent in she wus fatally burned. Last night Mr. Baldwin told her history. "Wild Rose" was a native of New Orleans. Mr. Baldwin's father, A. A. Bald Baldwin, first saw her in charge of a half breed from Mexico and realizing her possioilities as au "attraction" secured her and afterwards formally adopted her. Her parentage was never known. This was iu 1882, when "the! Rose" was about 20 years of age. She was a success from the start aud on the death of Mr. A. A. Baldwin, the proprietor of the present Baldwin shows took her iu charge. She has always been watched carefully for fear of ac cidents and this is why the affair has cast such dejectiou over the members of the company. The fatal occurrence happened in less than a minute and while the unfortunate being had been left for the first time in weeks. Not being able to articulate she could give no alarm. Saturday night at the hospital, while be ing treated for the burns, it was noticed that she kept one hand tightly clasped around some thing. No effort was made to opeu it at the time but after her death it was found that she had a little bluebottle given her years before by Mr. Baldwin. This she had treasured above every thing else and several times tried to show it while being treated by the physicians. ? The State. v The monstrosity mentioned will be remembered by many of our people who saw her during the recent Carnival here. Tlic Limit of Llic.

We ure in receipt of a copy of that splendid speech by Hon. A. P. Lever before the National House of Representatives on the subject of The Appalachian Forest- Reserve bill. Mr. Lever is one of the brainiest Congress men in our delegation, is quicker tongued than a woman, and the masterly manner in which he handled his subject, is worthy of all praise, while the way he re ferred to "that mysterious in fluence" was scorching enough to make any republican squirm. His reference was to Speaker Cannon who is blocking the bill, and who is also, as blatant an old South-hater as ever wore a suit of South Carolina made clothing, presented by South Carolina citizens who ought to have known better.
