The Chesapeake and Ohio's Repairing
Inrcr SIightlY keduCeh.

There was Il report current yesterday
that there had been a heavy reduction of
force at the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
road shops This was an eNag9eration.
The facts are these: Owing 10 the strike
of the coal-miners in West Virginia and
the consequent diminished necessity for
repairs, there has been temporary re-
duction of force at III, several shops
along the lire. There has been no reduc-
ton of WAGES. and the men are workinS
eight hours as was the case all last win
Ter. except when for a short while those

time, in order TO catch up on repairing.
The saving on the pay here VIII not be
more than $500 per month All the men
who have been dropped VIII be put PACK
to work as soon as the miners strike IS
over. The reduction of force wa. made
simply because there We're not enough re-
pairs To KEEP the IN at work.

George W. Nnl' A-s-..
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1894-06-27

-Silas x. Floyd, the president of the
Negro Press Association Of Georgia and
editor OF the Augusta Sentinel, asked In
q recent address before the Phil Kappa
Society Of Atlanta University: "What
are our educated young men doing"
Here is his answer: "Of ], l,243 graduates
of seventeen institutions for negroes In
the South 72O, more than one-half, be-
came school teachers; III became preach
ers; 1l6 lawyers, and 1853 doctors, while
12 only became farmers, only carpen-
ter and mechanics. Of the remainder
5 became editors, 36 Government en-
ployees, and so forth.' Mr.. Floyd
reaches the sensible conclusion that 1.-THE
main point to observe is that where they
have sought employment above that of
menial service they have sought it In the
professions. The ond of education, then,
If we may safely judge from the way the
educated act, is to fit one for those posi-
tions in life which do not require more
than the smallest amount of physical ex-
ertion.
"A New Englander, who had sought
in vain for notoriety, If not fame, Tor
more than half a century, took strange
precautions to insure large attendance
at his funeral. He had no near relatives,
and when convinced that death was ap--
preaching he turned over to trusted
friend the few hundred dollars he had
saved with instructions that 1t should be
spent on his funeral. No carriages or
conyeyances were to be used, and the
coffin was to be carried to the somewhat
distant burial ground by relays of men,
to be changed every 100 yards. Each
carrier was to receive liberal douceur,
and in addition small sum OF money
was to be handed to every person who
entered the grave yard while the cere-
mony was being performed. There was
no need to advertise the funeral, for be-
fore the coffin had been made the singu-
lar arrangements were the subject OF gen.
eral comment. Three times as many
bearers as could be employed applied for
positions, and when the cortege reached
the cemetery the crowd was so large that
it was difficult to force an opening for the
procession. Every one present received
cash present, as stipulated, but the good
minister who read the service made the
applicants wait long enough to hear some
very timely remarks on the evil OF ava.
rice and the unseemliness Of deseora-
ting sacred place in order to obtain a few
pence.
