FASTING AND PRAYER.

The Christian people of our State, dur
ing its long and brilliant history, have
cherished and been accustomed to OBJ
serve this day, by abstaining from all
unnecessary labor, and invoking, amid
the surroundings of the home and in
places of public worship, the blessings of
Heaven upon our Country. our State and
her institutions: and by intoxicating the
principles of righteousness, of truth, of
amity and peace.
This revered and time-honored custom.
established by the early fathers. is still
worthy of preservation and continuance.
and may the day have appropriate re-
cognition and be observed in a BETTING
manner by all the people of our common
wealth.
Given at the Executive Chamber, in
Augusta, this sixth day of April in
the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and ninetysix and of
the Independence OF the United
States of America the one hundred
and twentieth.

NO RULE TO MAKE THE UPPER
BERTH MAN RIDE BACK
WARDS.
1t Must Be Settled Between the Occu-
pants Of the Sleeper Themselves
The Percentage OF Employees Won
derfully Reduced Interesting
Notes and Personals.

Vice President Wickes of the Pull
man company has given this decision
respecting the occupancy of seats by
holders of berth tickets: There Is no
rule requiring the occupant of an upper
berth to use the seat facing backward:
the occupancy of the two seats is left to
the passengers to settle to their W
satisfaction. and. so far as We "a learn.
there is never any disagreement about
it. Comparatively very few persons
object to riding In the g facing the
rear; where it is Objectionable a change
OF seats can readily be effected. All
the c~Onveniences and facilities OF the
car. and the provisions for the accom-
mediation and comfort Of the passen-
gers, are designed equally for the bene-
fit of the occupant of the upper berth
as for the purchaser of the lower
berth" General Manager Spoor of the
Wagner company says: we have no
rule covering the point you raise, but
the universal practice permits the hold
err Of a lower berth to occupy the seat
facing the engine. Between two pas
sengers occupying a section. 1t is gen.
orally, l fancy. a matter of courtesy in
the choice of seats. and l have never
known of a case where any trouble has
arisen upon a point of this kind"

BICYCLE ON ENGLISH RAILROADS.
1t is we'll that b~icyclists should be
under no Misrepresentation as to the
privileges to which they are entitled
when travelling by rail with their ma
chimes. The ruling Of Judge Vernon
Washington, @. c., settles a mooted
Point. The Great Western sued a GER
tain Mr.. George Selwin Edwards for
las 1Od railway fare, and Mr.. Edwards
claimed f5 damages for the alleged de-
tention of a bicycle. The facts are
these: One day Mr.. Edwards reached
Paddington two minutes before the
train for Newbury was due to start.
and he had with him a bicycle. which
the company's servants declined to put
into the train, as Mr.. Edwards had not
taken a ticket for the machine or had
it labeled. He travelled home without
1t. and as It did not ONE to hand the
next morning he went to Paddington
and back in search of it, without a
ticket, but later in the day the machine
turned up. The Judge decided that Mr..
Edwards had no right to travel on the
company's line without a ticket, and
he. therefore, gave judgment for the
company. AS far as the counter claim
was concerned. the judge held that a
bicycle could not be treated as passen-
gers luggage. The company had a
right to send it as goods within q rea-
sonable time. He gave judgment for the
company in this case. too. and ordered
Mr.. Edwards to pay the costs.

NUMBER OF RAILWAY employees

ANS NhbIIle vi ELEu LIZ Ed.
The whole number OF railway en-
ployes in the United States on June 80,
1895. according to the Interstate Com
merce commission, was 7S5, O34. which
would average about 4.32 men to the
mile Of road. But in group 1, the New
England states. the average is 1888 per
mile: in group 2, comprising New, York.
Pennsylvania and Maryland. it is 11.64
per mile; and in group 3. containing
Ohio. Indiana and Michigan, 1t is 6.34
per mile: while in group 6. in which
Iowa. Illinois. Wisconsin and the other
states between the lakes INT the Mis-
souri, river lie, 1t is only 4.26 per mile;
in group 7, between the Missouri and
Idaho. it is only 2.55. and in the great
Pacific coast territory, known as group
10. the average is only 2.73 per mile.
Tennessee. from which the above in
quiry comes. is in group 5, where the
average is 3.91 per mile, and on this
basis Tennessee. having at the COM
mencement Of the present year 1924
miles OF road. should have about IL, 200
railway employees.
The Railway Age" says In this con-
nection: THE fact nus not be lost
sight Of that the number Of employees in
the country has been greatly reduced
by the effect Of hard times upon the
railways. and that notwithstanding
the increase in mileage it is now much
less than the number three and four
