IN THE RAILWAY WORLD.
ATLANTA'S MERCHANTS MAP
OUT THEIR CAMPAIGN.

The Roads Designated to Receive Their
PRtronAgs-The LouisytIIe and ash-
ville's Position - COMMISSIONS Pow
ers Tell Why the Pool did not Reply
to the Merchsnts' Committee.
The committee of the Atlanta mer-
chants pool has reafiirmed its action in
selecting the Louisville and Nashville
the Nashville and Chattanooga, the West
ern and Atlantic, Richmond and Danville,
and the Georgia Pacific railroads as the
lines TO be favored by the merchants Of
Atlanta with their patronage. AT meet
ing on Tuesday q telegram from President
Smith, of the Louisville and Nashville,
was read, in which Mr.. Smith stated that
he could not guarantee anything further
than to handle all shipments with prompt
ness and dispatch. he said that all com
municatlOns addressed to him would re-
ceive prompt attention. The contents Of
the telegram left the impression upon the
minds of the committee that the Louis
vile and Nashville under the circum-
stances could not give the relief desired.
The committee then had printed a cir
cular, which was sent out in the after
noon to every merchant in Atlanta
VINO had signed the agreement, 10 stand
bV the action OF the committee. Accom-
panying the circular was the agreement
Of July IS, signed by the merchants COM
prising Inc pool. The circular asked that
all shipments from the East be ordered
via the Richmond and Danville rairoad;
from the West via the Louisville ana
Nashville ana Western ana Atlantic rail
roads; from the Southwest via the GeOT-
gia Pacific railway.
General Commissioner Virgil Powers,
of the Southern Railway ard Steamship
Association, who has just returned from
New York, where he has been attending
asked why it was that the association did
not answer the communications from the
committee, said:
"Well, you see there was no request in
the communications sent to the assOcIa-
ton that ueeded an answer. The commit
tee said what it WAS going to do, and the
association decided to let Il 20 ahead and
carry out the plan that it had mapped out.
In my opinion all of this matter will reg
ulate itself in short time. and things
Will return to their normal state"
The Atlanta merchants generally are
not inclined TO talk much with reference
to the action of the committee. The rea-
son Of this is that they have not as yet ac-
cOmplsbed what they are after, which is a
restoration Of the shipping privilege. They
hope, however, 10y throwing their entire
influence in the direction indicated they
will force some line to give them what
they want. La railroad circles it is be-
leyed that reshipping will not be restored
SO long as the association lasts.

Of this matter more fully than we otherwise

unequalled by any in Sussex county. He
shows a spirit of progression that is willing

in any form, it is yet some satisfaction to the

style OF numbering coaches fyears ago.
Notwithstanding the statute laws Of the
State requiring the schools to open ON the
first Monday Of October, the committees OF
several districts in this hundred have con-
cluded not to do so. As there has been so
much written about the matter, and the law
has been plainly published and commented
on in several papers of the State, we con-
clude that ignorance is not the cause; we also
know that it is not the inability to procure
teachers, as the teachers for these districts
have been engaged for weeks and some o.
them for months. We cannot tell why this
utter defiance Of law, unless it is an inherent
disposition TO do as they please aud defy the
powers that be- When asked what they ART
going to do about it, their reply is "Oh,w'
will date our reports back or say we couldn'
get teacherp Such committees SHOULD
always remember that fragrant violation o

MFssRs EDIToRs;-Will you allow me
space in your paper wherein to ask for in
formation? In your issue Of Oct 9th I find
under the head of Sermon Notes" sketch
from a sermon by Rev. J. S. Willis, contain
ing these words: ''He met the demon of vol
uptousness, that goes about in silver slippers,
in the sparkling bowl and in the dance; He
met it in Mary Magdelene and drove it out
He saw in her spark of true womenhood
and famed it into flame, till in sorrowful
ioy she knelt at His feet and washed them
with her tears. Will Mr.. Willis be kind
enough to furnish, though your columns,
scripture proof that one Of the 'seven devils"
which Jesus cast out of Mary Magdelene was
"the devil of voluptousness." or that ''in sor-
rowful iov she knelt at his feet and washed
them with her tears" I am not seeking to
open an argument, but for more than fifteen
years have been laboring under the delusion
that the name Of Mary Bagdelene was being
unjustly coupled with guilt which she may
have been innocent Of If he will take the
trouble to correct this error, which I am not
alone in, VIII endeVour TO apply the oio
saying "a wise man sometimes changes his
opinion, a fool never.
Should like to ask 'vera" where in the
Bible Soioinan made use Of the word spoil
ing" or spoil" in connection with the word
rod, as / thought she intended to give the
impression that they were so used by him.
If the old saying, "Spare the rod and spoil
the child" is a scripture quotation 1 am I'M
able to find il. There are several familiar
quotations in use, or being used in such a
manner as to give the idea of scripture orr
gen; among them: "He tempereth the wind
to the shorn lamb, p" ''They also serve who
stand and wait, " etc. will really be thank
full for information on these points.

One of the incest things we have ever seen
that is classed in the Paraphernalia of the
burial of the dead, is the hearse lately pur-
chased by Mr.. S. J. Wilson, and brought
from Pennsylvania to this town. The vehi-
Gle is intended for children and young poo
pie; it is entirely white, with the exception
of the gilt with which it is decorated, the in
side is trimmed with silk curtains that hang
just low enough to show off the gold fringe
with which they are edged, while the gilt
