REV. WHITE AND SUNDAY WORK
He Says He Attacked Only the Gem
ernI Abuse Of the sabbath.

Savannah, Ca, Feb. Is, 1S97-Editor
Morning News: Please allow me space in
your columns to reply to an article of this
date, which purports to be statement
of charges made by me against the Ocean
Steamship Company. What 1 did say was
that Il understood that there is work
done under the bluff on the Sabbath day
and nope / said, On the Bay. too-tbat
were not the works of necessity, nor of
mercy, nor of charity, but the demand OF
mammon. that clerks and employees and
even the poor colored people were COM
PEELED to work on that day on peril of
losing their places, If they declined to
work: and that no man or set of men
work on Sunday; that l had seen an ac-
count in a paper Of a ship in the New
York harbor whose officials were prompt
ly arrested for unloading on. Sunday, I'M
til it was found to be a deed of neces-
sity. I then asked Why are these things
allowed in Savannah, and not in New
to know not only that the Ocean Steam
ship Company, but that every business
firm in Savannah did not require of its
employees work on the Sabbath day, and If
1 have misreDresented them, 1 beg their
pardon. But 1 must ask, in all fairness,
why did your reporter so garble my state
ment as to produce an impression en-
Veyed, making me attack one company,
and not an abuse. which believe exists?
This is what the Morning News printed:
REV; Robb White, at Christ church, de-
voted himself yesterday, in his morning
discourse, in part to a discussion of viola
lions of the Sabbath day, and in the
course of his remarks took occasion to
criticise the Ocean Steamship Company,
without specifically mentioning the name,
as well as other ship owners, masters and
charterers for working their men and load
ing or discharging their vessels on the
Sabbath. He qualified his remarks. how
ever, by the statement that such was his
information"
The arrest of the ships officers in New
York referred to by Mr.. White was that
of the officers of the ocean steamship Tai
lahassee a. full account OF which appear
ed i'm the Morning News. This reference
led Mr.. Whites hearers TO believe that he
referred to the Ocean Steamship Com
pany. There was no intention on the part
of the Morning News to garble Mr..
Whites statement.

youngsters are examined as to their tai
entS for acquiring knowledge or learning
some sort of trade, and are instructed in
leaning.
TO curb the youngsters inclination to
cruelty they are allowed to have pets, and
eacn one IS given patch of garden to
cultivate. They may keep birds, cats and
rabbits
The unmanageable bows sent bv IN
happy parents to the institution are train
ed quite differently Each is given a cell
by himself, which he has to keep scru-
pulously clean. Under no circumstances
are the inmates belonging to this class
permitted to converse among themselves
or with the other boys.
They have plenty of outdoor exercise,
but neither in the grounds nor in the
gymnasium nor in the school room or
chapel have they occasion to talk to their
comrades. They are known by number
only, and though not subjected to cruelty
i'm any form, the discipline governing their
management is most severe.
The privilege of conversation is denied
ting and also from making plans for the
future by agreeing to meet after dis
missal from the institution.
The discipline even goes further. 1t di-
reefs that boys must wear a mask when
ever they leave their cells, either to go
to the gymnasium, the Fairgrounds or to
The school room, which at the same
times serves as the chapel, is fitted with
a row OF cells or boxes forming a semi
circle. The boxes, or stalls, are open at
the top, so as to permit the free c!rcula-
ton of air, and their doors are abbre-
waited below and above, so the inmates
can see the teacher on the platform OPP
posite. The teacher can watch the boys
thoroughly, but the latter cannot see
their neighborS nor make signs to them.
This system of isolation in school, that
centers the pupils attention upon the lee
turer, while making it impossible for him
to divide his observations by either see
ing the pranks of comrades or looking
for such, is in itself an interesting expert
ment. The institute was opened only
few months ago, and it is impossible to
say whether the novelties introduced will
work successfully in the long run.
The isolation system has developed one
good point, however. 1t makes bad boys

IN THE RAILROAD WORLD.
Matters of Interest to Savannah and
Elsewhere.


The Seaboard Air Lines offer, of 10 per
cent interest on the value of the North
Carolina road as its yearly rental, where
the Southern pays only per cent. or
$3.50, 600. has been given an odd turn by one
of the Southern's vice presidents. The gen.
tleman is said to have worked several of
the legislators up to a pitch of Indignation
over the Seaboard's 10 per cent, or 100000
offer for the road. He descanted at length
upon the position the state will place it
self If it accepts such usurOus interest as
the Seaboard offers He said that the Sea
board was guilty of treason in trying to
entrap the state into any such illegal con-
tract by inducing them to accept such a
high rate of interest for the use of its
road. The gentleman's little joke was
greatly appreciated by the members ia
VOring the SOutherns retaining its long
lease at the $2SO,O0O rental.
Mrs. L. c. Barnett has brought suit
against the Middle Georgia and Atlantic
railway to recover damages for the death
of her son. Following the filing of the suit
garnishment proceedings were instituted
and a garnishment was served on the
Central railroad, which purchased the Mid
die Georgia and Atlantic. This garnish-
ment is intended to reach a portion Of the
bonds which the Central was to give for
the property. Last September, while the
line through Eatonton was being operated
by the Middle Georgia and Atlantic, w.
w. Barnett was employed by them as a
coupler. One morning, before daylight,
Barnett was trying to uncouple some cars.
While he was between the cars the train
was backed, and before Barnett could
get out he was pushed into a deep hole
and fell across the rails. The train passed
over his body and cut it in pieces. He

THE SHAKERS IDEAS OF
MEDICINE.

Now days when a man goes to his doc
tor, he is usually told that he has some
unheard-of disease with a long name, and
when he leaves the office he does not
know whether it is st. Vitus Dance or
consumption that is gradually undermine
ing his health
1t is therefore refreshing to talk with
the Shakers, for their very simplicity COM
mands confidence and respect, and we
have the further satisfaction of knowing
that they have devoted themselves to the
study of disease and it's cure for more
than a hundred years.
The venerable old man whom the writer
saw was only too glad to discuss his pet
subject. He said that, strange as it might
seem, very few doctors realized that three
quarters of the most prevalent diseases
were all attributable to faulty digestion.

average intelligence knows that putrid

weakness and debility soon follow as a
natural consequence.
1t was recognition of this that led the
SiahSlS " uSNOle lneT energies TO the
perfection of a product which would slim

to perform their proper work
The first symptom of disordered diges-
ton IS loss of appetite, and the Shaker
Digestive Cordial is wonderfully efficient
in supplying any deficiency in this respect
at the same time it relieves all distress
after eating. Furthermore, as was care

is absolutely harmless.
