Railroad and the Question Would
be Taken out of Politics.
Atlanta, Ca. Feb. Z7.-Ciairman G. V.
Cress o. the special committee Of the
Legislature on the depot question Is
quoted to-day as favorlng the sale Of the
Western and Atlantic Railroad. and all
Of the states property In connection with
IT, Among her things he says:
The depot committee Of the Legisla-

Assembly that the state should sell the
Western and Atlantic Raiiioad. In this
day Of railway combination a single line
has no chance. and when the lease with
the Nashyile. Chattanooga aLd St Louis
expires the state road wi.l be alone in

state has any budness win a railroad.
It is impossible for the state to pass any
necessary legislation aga INST railroads
while she owns a railroad.
Chairman Gress thinks an investment
In bonds would be better or the state
than no ding its railroad property. In
conclusion, he says:
My scheme is 10 sell the road for
bonds and TO secure the same income
which is now received by the state. 49,.

the state a source Of money for some
years to come, would take all politics out

of more benefit to Georgia.

RESOLUTIONS OF THE SAVANNAH
BRANCH OF THE NEEDLEwoRK
GUILD IN MEMORY OF ITS MUCH
LOVED PRESIDENT.
The committee, appointed at the special
meeting held Feb. q, 1901, to expire sym
pathy and prepare resolutions in memory
of Mrs David Wells, submits the follow
ing:
Resolved, That in the death Of our faith
full. Jealous president this association has
cause for sincere grief.
Just before the dawn of Jan. 80. 1901,
Gods messenger came among us and on
the listening ear of our beloved friend fell
the summons Come up higher" and
heaven was brighter at the opening morn,
as the angels. with glad songs. welcomed
the redeemed spirit to the Paradise of
God.
In failing health she founded our
branch of the Needlework Guild In No
vember, 1895, and though steadily declin-
ing ever since, to the very end there was
never an abatement in her interest.
To do good, as opportunity presented
itself was her constant aim. Her tnder,
sympathetic nature was ever responsive
to the appeal of suffering.
Gifted in an extraordinary manner, as
a leader Of others, yet so modest and gen.
tie was her sway that her fellow-workers
followed. scarcely perceiving that they
were led.
The memory of her beautiful unselfsh-
ness will long dwell in the minds of her
favored associates--the bright example
they viii love to study and emulate
Resolved. That we tender our sympa-
thies to her bereaved family and COM
mend them to Him. Whose grace alone is
sufficient for them. That in testimony of
our sorrow, these resolutions be irscrih-
ed In our minutes and a copy sent to her
family.
