LEASE OF THE TYBEE ROAD.
MIR. ArDONOUGH'S OFFER FOR THE
SEASON NOT ACCEPTED.

The Central VIII OpeT=te the Road
After April 1st-The ROadbed and
Track Being Repnired-WOrk to
Begin on the New Depot Mt Once.
The Cars Being OverhauIed and
Repainted.
Vice President Egan of the Central re-
turned yesterday from Washington,
where he went to attend the meeting of
the executive committee of the system,
and remained over to witness the inau-
gural ceremonies.
The committee considered the applica-
ton of Mr.. ]. ]. McDonough for the
lease of the Tybee road, which he asked
to have extended through the summer
season. The offer was not regarded as
sufficiently liberal to justify the Central
in granting the extension. Mr.. McDon-
ough's lease expires April /. This is one
month later than it was to have expired,
but he was granted continuation for
that time
Work on the road is going
on all the while. Repairs have been in
progress for some time, and it will
D6 III SOOu COnulllOH Dy the opening OL the
season. The track is being reinforced,
the embankments strengthened, and new
ties are being put in in number of places.
Repairs are being made on the bridges and
wherever necessary work is being done.
The plans and specifications for the new
depot on Randolph street to take the place
Of the depot blown down in the September
storm, have been determined on, and the
contract for it's erection signed. Work
will commence at once.
No new rolling stock is to go into the
roads equipment That already owned Is
fully sufficient for its operation. 1t will
be thoroughly overhauled and repaired,
however before the opening of the season.
The passenger coaches are now being re-
painted at the CentraPs shops.
AS already stated in the Morning News,
no action was taken by the
committee towards the appoint
ment of a traffic manager. 1t is un-
derstood that the present arrangement,
under which the conduct of the traffic
managers duties is placed, is thoroughly
satisfactory, and it is probable that it
will be continued for some time. The
heads of the departments do the work
of the traffic manager.

ONLY 100 CHECKs A DAY.
Some Central Employees VIII Have
to Wait Longer Than Others.

Some Central Employees VIII Have
q to Wait Longer Than Others.
The Central railroad checks. with which
the employees of the system are now paid
OF, will not be issued all together, as
was the case last month, but, at the re-
quest of the Citizens Bank, it is said they
will be issued at the rate of not more
than one hundred a day.
The checks were issued last month
about Feb TO- and the bank had con-
siderable trouble with them, owing to
the fact that a large number of the en-
ployes all wanted to get their money
from the bank at the same time, which
interfered with some of the regular bank
ing business. This Is understood to have
led to the request that only one hundred
checks day be issued.
Instead of all of the employees getting
their money on the 10th of the month
as heretofore, some of them will, of
course, have to wait five or six days
longer, depending on what batch of one
hundred checks their pay comes in. Sew
eral of the employees who have heard
that this will be the case have expressed
some anxiety about the matter, fearing
their pay may sometimes be delayed for
a week or more. If the employees could
all understand that their checks are good
| anywhere, and need not necessarily be
taken to the bank TO be cashed the sit
| uation would no doubt be much simpli-
| fed However. there may be several
| changes in the check paying system be-
| fore II is brought 70 a state of perfec-
| ton.

THOU SHALT NOT COVET.
Rev. A. Nj. williams Talk on the
Tenth Commandment.

Rev. A. NJ. williams Talk on the
Tenth Commandment.
Rev. A. NJ. Williams spoke at the Young
Mems Christian Association on the COM
mandment, Thou shalt not covet thy
neighbours house. nor his wife, nor his
man servant. nor his maid servant nor
his OK. nor his ass, nor anything that is
his"
There is popularity in this command
ment," said Mr.. Williams. " 1t is from
standpoint of the heart, not the action.
Another popularity is that 1t is nearer to
the teachings of the New Testament; it
looks at the internal not the external.
It means thou shalt not desire another
mans home etc. 1t means not to fix your
mind on something which does not belong
to you. When a man begins to covet
something not his own. it is complaining of
what God has given him; it is a sin against
ourselves A man degrades himself when
he wants to gain something without Civ
ing honest work or its equivalent for it.
Covetousness is a sin against our neigh
Dor, for he is entitled to what he gets le-
ultimately. The source of covetousness
often develops from sloth or idleness."
ION the other hand" said Mr.. Williams,
1--WE see the tendency in this present day
OF men who possess wealth and power, to
crush the rights of those who are in their
power, thus coveting everything for them
selves
He cited as an example of covetousness
Achan and showed the steps he took in
obtaining the Babylonish garment: first
he saw, then he desired, and then he took.
Another consequence of covetousness is
that it produces a downward tendency in
life. Prayer Is needed" he said, that we
may have power 20 overcome this sin"
Next Sunday Rev. w. A. Nesbit will
speak on what is the Great Command
n1ent2"

THE POWER OF THE BIBLE.
Rev. Arthur J. Smiths Third Sermon
on the Book of Books.


Rev. Arthur ]. Smith preached to a
large congregation last night at the First
Presbyterian church. His sermon was
the third of a series on what l Believe
About the Bible" His topic was THE
Power OF the bible" the text being from
Hebrews, 412: 1.-the word of God is pow
erful."
Mr.. Smith began by saying that the
Bible carries it's own credentials per
haps the greatest proof of its inspira-
tion,' said he els to be found in the
influence II exerts." He spoke of the
great influence the book exerts over the
laws of the country. They are nearly all
fashioned after the teachings of the
Bible, as it's path of right has been dis
cerned to be the true and proper course
to be followed for the attainment of the
greatest good. The basis of all laws
in equity, he said. is found in the law
of Moses He mentioned the influence of
the Bible upon literature. showing
that many authors have drawn their ideas
from those conveyed by the book of
books. The philosophers have taken the
basis of their writings from the principles
put forth In the books of Moses and Job.
The antiquarian, Lord Hailes, makes the
statement that he has discovered that the
New Testament. with the exception of
eleven verses is to be found in the secular
writings of the first three centuries.
Mr.. Smith quoted number of eminent
men, among them Huxley, showing the
wonderful power of the book as evinced
in their own attainment of fame and rep
utation. It's influence on sociology and
on science was SHOWN. Mans knowledge
of Gods Word, he said, is complete, for
he has il before him; but his knowledge
of His works is incomplete, and it is for
that reason that conflict results, and
claims are made that tho Bible and ma
ture do not correspond.

MAJOR LEE 10 BE RELEASED.
The Indictment 10 he NOIIe Pressed
Before Judge Galloway To-day.


Major Lee. the negro who was convict
ed fifteen years ago of the murder of FL
bert Lee Of Bulloch county and sentenced
to life in the penitentiary, who was given
new trial by the supreme court almost
as many years ago, but has, for various
reasons, never had it, is now in Chatham
county jail, and will be released to-day,
a free man, unless something Unforeseen
should occur to prevent it.
Judge f. H. Galloway of the Augusta
circuit arrived in Savannah last night.
and he will preside in the superior court
to-day, when Lees case will be brought
up. Judge Galloway was called because
of Judge Falligants disqualification, he
having been Lees counsel when his case
was tried in the early eighties.
As the Morning News stated several
days ago, Solicitor General w. w. Os-
borne wrote to the Bulloch county people
interested with regard TO the case to
ascertain If they desired to prosecute il
when IL should be brought up for a sec
ond trial under that supreme court de-
cision. He received a letter from Mr.. ID.

prosecute the case, as many of the wit
nesses were dead, and that the solicitor
general might take such action as he
saw ht
Solicitor General Osborne has carefully
perused the testimony In the case anc
his conclusion is that Lee was not in
all probability guilty of the crime. Hs
has determined therefore, TO make J
motion before Judge Galloway for a noll,

BISHOP TURNER'S COMPLAINT.
The Central Railroads Lunch COun-
tiers For COIored Passengers.

The Central has received the request of
the Georgia railroad commission for in
formation as to the conveniences furnish
ed passengers, white and colored, tor re-
freshments at the depots. The commune
cation is a result of Bishop Turner's COM
plant to the commission on his refusal to
be allowed to buy a lunch at the Macon
depots lunch counter. The bishop want
ed to know why places could not be pro-
vided for the people Of his race to eat, as
well as for white passengers.
The commission heard Bishop Turner's
complaint and asked for information. The
Centrals reply has not yet been sent, as
IL awaited the return of Vice President
Egan from Washington.
Mr. Egan said last night that he is not
perfectly familiar with the case, but Bish-
op Turner could have gotten the lunch he
wanted in Macon IL he had applied at the
proper place. Al one side of the place,
where the white patrons of the lunch
counter are served is another where the
colored people are served. Had Bishop
Turner applied there. said Mr.. Egan, he
would not have had 10 go hungry. The
Central does not conduct It's own lunch
counters. But few of the roads IN the
country do. The privileges at the stations
are let just as are the news selling rights
aboard the trains. The roads always re-
serve the right TO see that the passengers
are properly treated. however A provision
of the contract requires good food and
suitable conveniences. Mr.. Egan says
the lunch counters along the line of the
Central comply with the contract. and at
AL points colored passengers can buy food.
