President Raouls Letter Concerning the
Railway Sharehoiders' AssOciatiOn-
The Plant Investment COmpany's New
SteRmer-Raising the Standard of
Brakemen-Gossip in Railway Circles.
President Raoul, Of the Central rail-
road, in response 10 a request for infOr-
nation concerning the relations between
the railroads and railroad managers in
Georgia and the so-called Railway Share
holders Association commented upon
by DR.. FELTON, in a recent speech in the
Legislature, has written letter in which
he says:
SIN November. 1888, received a letter,
purporting to be from the secretary Of an
association, then alleged to be organizing
under the above name, requesting the use
OF my name as one OF the trustees. A
circular was inciosed, declaring the pur-
poses OF the association, which, in brief,
we're said to be for the distribution OF
correct information IN regard TO railroad
operations and management, and resist
ing hostile and oppressive legislation.
My name was printed upon this prOspec-
tus as one OF the trustees. and the letter
OF the secretary requested the use OF my
name for this purpose l declined and so
wrote him.
''After this l received a request for a
contribution of 500 to the association,
and later on request tor $50. To these
] made no reply. In answer to my letter
declining the use Of my name, received
formally drawn application to a court
Of New York, asking the Judge to erase
my name from the records, which ] was
requested to sign and return. As | had
no part in putting my name upon the rec
ords, made no reply to this.
Il afterwards received an application
for an annual pass over our roads on ac-
count OF the association. To this | made
no reply. l next received a letter request
ing the loan of $50 for 60 days, inclosing
to me properly executed promissOry note
for that amount. l returned the note in
a letter, stating that ! did not desire to
make the loan.
"Durlng this correspondence | received
letter from Sir Henry Tyler, Of London,
Eng, informing me that the use of his
name as trustee OF the Railway Share
holders Association was without his au-
thority, and that he demanded its with
drawaL He gave me the information be-
cause my name was presented as one of
the trustees, and l presume he gave like
Information to the other gentlemen whose
names were used in this way.
HIS letter conveyed the information
that, of the long list OF names printed in
the prospectus as references in Great
Britain, many were the names of persons
deceased.
''This is all the information or knowl-
edge / have of the association that has at
tracted DR.. Felton's attention. No rail-
road official in the State has ever mem
TONED the subject to me, and If any are in
receipt Of similar documents to those
sent me they evidently did not impress
them as being a matter of sufficient i'm
portance to inquire about or discuss"

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company is
elevating the standard of qualifications
for passenger brakemen. Under the new
order they must measure feet 8 inches in
height, be between the ages of 81 and %,
and good looking. Then they are tested
as to knowledge Of mathematics, color
blindness, the automatic brakes, the air
whistle, the block signal system, the book
OF rules, and in addition TO this they are
supposed to know the population of all
the principal cities throughout the United
States, and how to get to them, 80 as to
direct passengers correctly and by the
proper routes. After they pass this ex-
animation they can brake fer five or
six years, and then put in an applica-
ton for conductOrship, when the candi-
date Is first asked to write letter. He is
again tested as to his knowledge Of
mathematics. A statement more or less
intricate, and involving numerous whole
and half-fare tickets and rebate coupons,
Is read 70 him. He is told to render an
account Of the time consumed in making
up his statement, which is noted to the
fraction OF the minute. At other times a
statement is required of miles Travelled
by passengers on a mythical train that
makes lightning trips to all parts Of the
main and leased lines. He is expected to
know every station on the main line, the
points at which branch roads connect,
and the names OF the leased lines,

Talking is cheap, but it takes lolv prices
to sell goods. We know our business and
attend to it. This is proven by the lively
business the "Sign Of the Golden Arm"
has enjoyed since the beginning Of the fall
season. We are confident that we have
sold more Jile dress suits this month than
any three houses in the city combined.
Why il is so is because our stock has been
found to be best IN assortment and iOioest la
prices. We never allow 10 10 be run down,
but are always adding To IT,, so that what
may be admired one day may be purchased
the next. In addition TO our large stock we
have just received an entire new invoice
OF Young Mems nObby Straight cut Sack
Suits, Uery prettyStyieS; nobby OvercOats
are also now coming in, and they are
'dandies." Our regular patrons are IA
mihar with the class Of goods we sell, and
all we say 10 them Is that our selection
this season is larger than ever; to those
who have never purchased OF us, we will
add that they can hardly realize the fact
that there Is a ready made garment in the
city that is gotten up with such taste and
hte so well, unless they visit our store,
where we are ready 10 convince everyone
that ours Is no idle boast or catch-penny

Firstly--It is certain judgment.
SeGondly-It Is n searching judgment.
Thirdly-It is an equitable Judgment.
Fourthly-ft Is a final Judgment.
A man may offend against human law
and escape the officers VINO are put on MS
track and never be brought to justice, but
there is no escape from the assize or Goa.
His judgment is certain.
Witnesses before an earthly court may
not tell the truth, or may hold back what
they know VIII be damaging TO the pris-
oner's cause. but there Is no such thing
in the courts Of heaven. Gods Judgment
is searching Judgment.
In earthly courts IT is possible, through
the influence OF wealth and position, TO
ameli0rate the severity OF the law. There
is no SUCH thing in the assize Of heaven.
The great Judge OF the quick and the dead
vii not be biased in his final judgment.
In earthly courts right OF appeal is
grated but Gods Judgment is final.
There are two Judgments to he rem
de.ed One is, "Come We blessed" The
other 10, depart ye cursed" God has
made it possible 10 elect which Judgment
shall be pronounced.
MAN ALONE RESPONSIBLE.
Every man chooses aud does choose
whether be shall enter into the inner
itance prepared for the righteous, or
81 lCAueI ne HAall QGpdIL lutu 6NtItdbLHs
hre prepared for the devil and his angels.
The espOnsibiity Is with him. God ls
not responsible for any mans choice. lie
has done everything consistent with HIS
own aud our nature as a free moral
agent TO help rs escape hell, and If we
go there il is our own taqlt
81 appeal TO you tonight" he SAID, IN
closing, "tO choose the path OF righteous
ness and give yourselves up wholly end
without reserve 10 GOd.v
Or. Munhall preached over an houi and
held the vast congregation intent upon
every word. His Illustrations were forcl-
bic and his language such that it could
not be misunderstood.
Among other things he said "Men are
dropping into hell every day, but God is
not responsible for it. God didn't kindle
the fires of hell for man. but for the devil
and his angels. There is not
man or woman living who dares
tell TO his or her nearest
friend all the secrets Of their thoughts;
they would die with shame. God is God
OF 0ll things, but He is not ruler OF all.
The devil rules here in Savannah"
After the closing hymn all in the con-
who were Christians were
asked TO rise aud remain standing. Those
who wanted to become Christians were
then asked to rise, and nearly 200 stood
up. The congregation was then dismissed,
and an inquiry meeting was held, lasting
for half su hour
