WOMAN's MISSION.
One of the w. G. T. U. Defends Her
Sex Against Criticism.

Editor Morning NetcS: As one Of the
members of the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union was passing down Brough-
ton street, bent on mission of charity,
learned jurist OF the city was heard to ex-
claim: Out of place" Greved and hurt
at the unmerited and uncalled for rebuke,
the charitable woman went her way, but
she determined to bring the matter before
the immediate attention of her accuser and
let him judge for himself whether or rot
his remark was applicable.
Let us pause for a moment to consider
what woman's mission has been, and is
now and ever will be, as long as there is a
fearless woman and an honorable, upright
man in this sin-beleagured world. Her mis-
sion has ever been to repress the evil, to en-
courage the good, to help the poor and
needy, to minister to the sick and wounded,
and to make the home of man cheerful and
attractive.
Would a woman be considered out of
place mlnlstering in some dire calamity,
when the sick and dying require her gentle
hand 10 minister to them her kind and hope
full words to encourage themi | think not
Would she be considered out of place, lend
ing substantial aid to some family CD
pressed by care and poverty | am sure not
If she would not be thought out of her
sphere then, why should she be out Of it
doing good in any place and under any cir
cumstancesf Perhaps family has been re-
duced TO penury and want by husbands
or fathers love for strong drink such
being the case bow can a woman aid that
family more substantially than by reform
ing that husband or father, and making
him an honor and a material help to his
family and to the community at Target
| think that if the gentleman who SD
thoughtlessly made that remark will pause
to consider that it is not the good and
Christian, but the evil and unchristian man
or woman who needs reformation; that it
is not the wealthy and influential, but the
poor and needy who need charitable aid,
and will at the same time remember that it
is the duty of every Christian to do all the
good he can to all men, he will think, with
me, that a woman is never out of her place
dong good in Christian spiritse and that
he will be ready to acknowledge that his
remark was unmerited, uncalled for and
unjust w. C. T.. U.

Travelling on the new street car lines is in

the geography of his town, and is opening
his eyes to its growth. He learns of streets
he never heard of before, and is astonshed
to find rows Of houses where a few weeks
ago he thought the pines wore still
growing. ST. Thomas street is the
name of one of the thorough
fares in the southeastern suburbs and
a day or two ago a passenger who was
taking in the town on palace street car
inquired if 1t was named in honor of Alder
man Thomas. If that elicie { officer con
tinues to devote his time and energies TO
the improvement of his native city his
name will undoubtedly go down to posterity
as a public benefactor, though he may not
be cannOni2ed.
Apparently the entire population was
out for an airing yesterday afternoon.
Those who did not go to Iybee, Isle of
Hope, Montgomery, Bonaventure, or
Thunderbolt, patronized the street car
lines, all of which did a good business.
Those of the new street railway however,
were literally packed with passengers.
many OF whom took in the round trip, and
Others stopped Off at Concordia Park or

ON RAIL AND OROSSTIE.
Local and General Gossip in Railway
Circles.


The earnings of all Southern roads for the
month of March show a decided increase
over February, despite the present dull sea
son in the railroad business of the country.
The Central railroad began yesterday
morning a through sleeper from Savannah
to Spartanbu &. 1t leaves Savannah on the
night train, and arrives at Spartanburg at
noon the following day.
The Southern railroads have issued a uni
form tarif-sheet on oil and petroleum
products by which the rate on barrel and
tank oil is the same. 1t will tend to in
crease the earnings of the railroads on oil
During the month of February there
were ia train accidents, being 10 more
than for the same month last year They
were classified as follows: Collisions 81, de
railments l04, other accidents 10. Casual
ties, 81 employees and other persons killed :;
80 employees and 65 other persons injured.
The railroads are making special arrange
ments for the first anniversary of the City
of Bessemer, which will be celebrated next
Thursday. The Louisville and Nashville,
the Queen and Crescent, the Georgia Pa
cite, the Central of Georgia, and the South
Carolina railroads have placed the price al
SC. per mile, or one fare for the round trip.
