RAILROAD MATTERS.
Handsome Compliment 10 the OF.
heers OF the Central Railroad.

We take the following from the RGils0ay
Gazette OF December, the official organ
of the railways of the United States: Mr..
VIM. M Wadley, the well known President
of the Central Railroad and Banking Com
pany, of Georgia, is a remarkable fllustra-
ton of the self-made man. When a very
young man he worked at the anvil In a
Northern State as a blacksmith, aud there
made some of the muscles which has since
served him a good purpose. Subsequently
he went to Georgia, and when Gordon was
President OF the Central Railroad he
was making brick out on the line,
dent, he was serving faithfully one of the
company's supervisors. He was one of the
companY's first b0okkeepers, serving both
In this capacity and as Superintendent at the
same time, carrying his accounts In his hat
when out on the line, and referring to that
novel receptacle when giving Information
about the business of the road. Mr. Wad-
ley became President in 1866 or 1867, and
has served as such ever since He Is phYsi-
cally and mentally giant, is an indomita-
BILE worker, a shrewd, clear-headed, safe
business man, and possesses an amount of
pluck which, added to these other charac-
teristics, cannot fail to bring success. Ia
fact success has already resulted in an emf
nent degree, both to himself and to the
great corporation over which he presides.
Mr.. w. G. Raoul, Vice President and Gen
eral Manager, began service with that road
In 1870 as a contractor, was made assistant
roadmaster in 1873, afterwards roadmaster,
and in 1876 Superintendent of the South
western division. He was elected to his
present position in June, 1880.
Mr.. William Rogers, the General Superin-
tendent of the road, began as the company's
bookkeeper in 1866. and was made General
Superintendent in 1867. He has never been
connected with any other road.
Mr.. George A. Whitehead, the General
Freight and Passenger Agent, was appoint
ed to this position July, 1880, at which time
it was created by General Manager Raoul.
Re had been in the companY's service sew
eral years as travelling agent at terminal
points. etc.
Mr.. Edward Mclntire, who is really the
Secretary and Treasurer of the company,
although his title is that of bookkeeper, be-
gan as an Office boy, and has worked his
way up through the various grades to his
present position.
The policy of this road has been to pro-
mote deserving employees rather than 10 call
In outsiders. and the result is most COM
mendable degree of loyalty on the part of
every one toward the company and its in
terests.

This evening the illustrious Italian TRACE
dian, Rossi, will make his first appearance
before our public, supported by splendid
company, in Shakespeare's skiing Lear"
The Charleston Nel0S and Courier pro-
nounces 1t a magnificent impersonation, and
ssys: 'The audience who beheld the Lear
OF Signor Rossi last ev ening felt that they
had seen a piece of tragic acting at once
the grandest and most finished that the
boards Of the Academy had ever known.
It needed not any knowledge Of the Italian
tongue, nor even any great familiarity with
Shakespeare's lines to comprehend and en-
ioy the great actors magnificent rendering
of the role of the hapless monarch. His
bearing, his gestures, bis glance and his
tones all spoke with matches elo-
quence of the universal language.
There was rare delicacY in
his portrayal of the various phases OF the
old mans madness, msjestic dignity that
chung 10 him through all his woe, an alluriDg
swsetness that lent subtle charm even to
his hsrshest phrase. The dsZed anguish
with which he is first brought to realize the
ing altitude of his daughters was wonder
fully realistic picture, at which the admira-
ton of the house broke forth in hearty ap-
plause, which for some moments interrupted
the play. The storm scene, also, was re
ceived with enthusiasm. In fact, at the
close of every one of the five acts the APP
plause was so prolonged as to cause the re-
call of Signor ROssi."
Those who have not secured seats should
call at Bren's without delay.

In this practical age those who wish tC
commemorate the holidays are on the look,
out for something useful to purchase as 8
substantial testimonial to their loved ones
who know that they are remembered, and
nothing could be better for this purpose
than a handsome set of parlor or bedroom
furniture, a comfortable rocker, or any OF
the many articles which now comprise the
stock of modern furniture house. Then q
new carpet or curtains, or both,
will prove a practical token OF affec-
ton. and at the same time, If
the donor be the head of the family, he can
also enjoy the comforts which his gift may
bring to the household. If this be the
method in which our citizens propose to
celebrate the holidays, they should visit

Broughton street, where they will find the
largest stock OF furniture and carpets ever
seen in Southern hOuse.-AdU.
