CIVIL SERVICE ON THE RAILS.
HOW the New Innovation Will Affect
the Mail Employees.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Ciyil Service
Commissioner Lyman has had conference
With the Postmaster General in regard to
the Presidents instructions looking to an
extension of the civil service rules and reg
uIations SO as to include the railway mail
service. 1t was agreed, subject to change
that the railway mail service should be
edded as a separate branch of the civil SER
vice making four in all, viz: departmental
service, customs service, postal service and
railway mail service.
THE RULES AND REGULATIONS.
As soon as the pOstmaster-general has
furnished the information essential to a
nroner classification, the commission will
nrepare the necessary rules and regulations
which will be submitted to the President
for his approval and PRONUNCIATION. The
service now contains about $500 officers
and clerks, all of whom, with the exception
of the general superintendent and his
assistant, will be brought within the elias
sified service. OF the whole number, fifty
five are chief clerks, who receive 81 400 per
snnum: four are assistant superintendent,
who receive 81 600 per annum, and eleven
division superintendent, who receive a
salary of $4,000 per annum. The salaries
of the regular clerks range from 81, 400
downward.
THE PRESENT EMPLOYEES.
1t is not proposed to require the clerks
now in the service to pass an examination
in order to retain their positions, but their
efficiency will be periodically tested by a
practical examination on what is known as
the 'case;" that is, each clerk will be re-
ouired to toss into case of pigeon holes
1000 cards addressed to post offices, the
location of which they are supposed to be
familiar with. Time and accuracy will de-
termine the rating in these examinations.

Experiments in the use of petroleum as a

Bulloch county is jubilant over its pro-

from Dover to Statesboro, and the States

How many railway companies are there
in the United States: is sometimes asked
but is not readily answered. The number
of corporations represented by the railway
mileage in operation June so, 1888, is stated
in the interstate commerce commissions re-
port at / PSI, but 50 many companies are
controlled and operated by others that the
whole number of corporations making re-
port of operations at that date was Cos.
How many other companies represent rail
ways under construction or projected is
difficult to say, but they aggregate many
hundreds. The United States census of June
1880, gave the total number of rail
way corporations in the country as l., 100
IL the interstate commerce commissions
figures are correct the number of such cor
porations existing June 80, 1888, showed a
net increase of only Sc in eight years, which
would indicate that the process of CONSOLE

extent, as many hundreds of new compa.

MONEY FOR MISSIONS.
Idols at a Guyton Sunday Schoo
Missionary Anniversary.

Missionary Anniversary.
The annual missionary anniversary OF
the Guyton Methodist Sunday school was
held at Guyton Sunday night, and was both
entertaining and instructive. The singing
was excellent, and the recitations by little
jamie Toole, "a Plea for Children" and by
Master Henry Guyton, Nothing to DO,
were we'll received. A joint recitation, "A
Plea from the Nations" by ten little girls
in costumes representing as many nations,
was pretty feature of the programme.
The misses were: Be sic VIM, Maud
Jenkins, Minnie Morgan, Belle Guyton,
Corne Symons, Ella Rogers, May Nell,
Cassie Pritchard, Edna Blackwell and
Laurie Blackshear. Supt. A. +. Bird re-
ported the mission collections for the year
in the Sunday school at S97, a decided in-
crease, and an increase of work and an in
crease IN the Sunday school.
Rev. o. G. Mingledorff gave a pleasing
talk on missionary work, in which ldolatory
was dealt with in an entertaining way.
Mr.. Mingledorff who was at one
time a missionary to China, had
some of the idols on exhibition at the
meeting, and he gave each of the scholars
a. souvenir in the shape of a Chinese coin,
100 of which coins are worth about 10
cents in American coin. He said he had
seen Cinnamon take their money to market
in wheelbarrow, and the marketing it
purchased was trundled home in the same
vehicle with no greater physical exertion
than it required to wheel the market
money. AT the close of the exercises a
handsome collection was taken up by the
Misses Emmie Bid and Katie Arden and
Masters Maurice Adams and Joe Lawrence.
Tonight is to be gala one at Guyton.
the knights of Pythias lodge is to be or
gained and its officers installed. The exer-
cises will be preceded by supper and fol
lowed by hop.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE LAW.
Leopold Morse Introduces a Bill for
It's Repeal

It's Repeal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Representative
Leopold Morse says that he proposes to
press his bill introduced to-day repeating
the interstate commerce law. He will go
before the committee on commerce, to
which it was referred, and make an argu-
ment in favor of it. He says he can prove
by facts and figures that the law has proved
bunder, and a very costly one to the bust
ness of the country 1t is the provisions
against pooling and against charging more
for short than for a long haul, which
seem to him to have most seriously ham,
pered the commerce of the country.
BELIEVES IT UNAMERICAN.
He said tonight with much emphasis:
''I believe the law is unrepublican, undem-
ocratic un-American. 1t has deprecated
the value of stocks and bonds without any
compensating benefit to the public. l
believe that the prosperity of this country
is largely due to the free action of a free
people in their own way without the inter
ferance of the government. l be-
heve that the law is mistaken, and
the prosperity and welfare of the
people would be greater without it than
they are with it. / have not consulted the
railroad people about this matter. II they
believe as do it would be well for them,
by petition or otherwise, to make their feel
ings known, with hope of securing favor

master General that he may manage the
postoffices of the country as he managed
those of Virginia under the last administra

fact that the anti-Mahone republicans have

however, more embroil the fray.

Is scarcely 8 hotel or butcher shC p in
Texas that does not buy its sausagss,

has to pay the freight both ways on these

They realize that if they are to make money
they must saVe st every point and in

more to slaughter cattle here than else
where, and the difference in freights be-
tween dressed meats and live stock is

What Fort Worth needs is another school
building for the more advanced grades

in this. Only one principal would be
needed. At present there are two prin-

a PAPER MILL.

Denisan is negotiating with Mr.. Erwin
of Indians for paper mill plant. As
Fort Worth has subscribed $50, 900 to such
an enterprise and procured 8 charter IN
der which to so at once to work, 1t may
interest THE g. zETTE's readers to con-
template the advantages to accrue to the
city from the ente1 prise. The Denison
News copies from the Rlkhsrt (Ind.) Re-
view as follows: ave speak often OF
the benefits which new enterprises bring
to town IN the increase OF population,
yet few realize the actual exteot of their
enlargement. When the ErNtn-Lsne
mill was being built and put in readiness
for operation it was the direct csusa Of
bringing over 1900 people to Elkhart.
Many OF them we're skilled paper makers,
many were laborers in the mill, but many
were workmen who came here to help in
the erection Of the mill, and afterwards
became residents of the city, and still sre
such. And this is only one Of the indus
tries Of Elkhart that has lent Its quota to
the growth. Let more come in, and dc
their share. We can well afford to en-
courage any industry that will add even
one-slxth that increase Of population.
The men and women who are with such
enterprises are not drones, but are
workers, producers and distributors Of
wealth.

An Empty Treasury the Best Bsfense.

the notices OF the meeting was that ga
surplus is better than deficit" While
this is true enough OF the frances OF an

slight Treasury deficit could do no harm
