Inevitable At Of God."
%**%*+4.3


It is hard to understand how one
of the Southern railway officials
can claim that the accident at Nc
Donough, near Atlanta, in which
80 people lost their lives, was an
'sinevitable act of God" If there
was any ground for such claim it
is surely another ''act Of God" in
causing washout on the road be
tween Columbus and McDonough,
at which point the tram from Col
umbus connects with the train
which met destruction. This train
failed to connect because of a
washout near Luella, and had this
washout not occurred the Column
bus train would have gone down in
Camp Creek, as it was always
coupled on to the Macon train at
McDonough.
Surely God did not save one
train and destroy another, and
isn'tit something out of the usual
for man, in his poor judgment, pit
iful weakness and strange misap-
prehensions, to so belittle divine
power as to publish such a state
ment. True God made the earth
and sends us RAIN, but if man, in
his feeble efforts to provide against
the natural forces of the elements
fails to successfully build against
such moving natural power as
caused the undermining OF the
masonry at the Camp Creek cul-
vert. can it be that He deliberate
" sends train load Of people to
instant death?
Pity the soul that SO murmurs-
it needs more light, because only
in darkness could it so thoughtless
" cry out against its own existence
the great Love which rules the
Universe.

TO WORK NEW GOLD FIELDS.
The Recent Discovery OF DR.. Lack
In sOOth kordofan Prom
ises Well.

DIR. Linck, professor OF geology in
the University of Jena, who is an in
innate friend OF Slatin Pasha. the
new inspector general OF the Sudan
in the service of the British. has just
returned from a journey OF explora.
tion in the KOrdofan. He reports the
discovery of rich gold mines in the
district known as South Kordofan.
II is expected that company will
be formed at once to work the gold
fields. The fact that gold exists in
rieh-paying quantities in the Sudan
has long been known. Sixty years
ago the famous Mehemet Ali EN-.
ployed an Austrian mine expert 10
examine this very district. He dis.
covered gold. but political complica.
tions prevented development at the
time. and since then the lawless con.
dition of the Sudan under the kha.
lifa's misrule has effectually prevented
anyone from attempting to go into
the district where the gold is now
found. Slatin Pasha enabled DIR.
Linck to investigate the neighborhood
and the result OF mis- labors Is likely
10 prove remunerative in the highest
degree.
