SAW A BIG PANTHER.
UnweIcOme Visitor Hung Around
Railroad After Midnight - The
Place Was Near the swamp he
tween NasOnborO Crossing and
Bradley's Creek.

While the Wilmington Seacoast rail-
road is being constructed into a trolley
line, the work train has been on the
road nearly every night delivering
poles, crossties and other material.
Yesterday morning about 3 o'clock the
train was delivering crossties on the
stretch Of road along the swamp be-
tween Masonboro crossing and Brad
ley's creek. running very slow and stop
ping every few yards.
While the train was standing still
near the swamp, the train crew caught
sight of an unwelcome visitor hat was
no doubt attracted by the locomotive
headlight. It was a panther CT large
size and it came up close to the train
with its eyes looking like two balls Of
fire. The darkies on that train stuck
close to the fiat a and watched the
animal as it SUNK around, sometimes,
approaching as il to jump aboard the
cars. The train worked in the vicinity
some time and the panther followed it
up and crossed the track several times
ahead Of the locomotive. He could be
seen plainly, and those who saw him
say he was an ugly specimen.

Plant System to Drop Females from
Employ.

G"RAoy
The Atlanta Constitution of yester-
day says:
Savannah, Ga, June 27.-(Special.)-
The Atlantic Coast Line has given no.
tice in the auditing and freight claim
departments of the Plant system at Sa-
vannah that the young women in the
employ Of the company will not be re-
tanned after August 1. This act, 1t Is
expected. will apply to all the other de-
partments of the Plant system, and the
young women employed in them are
anxiously awaiting the final date which
will cut short the tenure of their posi-
tons.
This information came as a surprise,
as the young ladies', of whom there ara
quite a large number employed by the
Plant system, thought that they would
be retained in the service of the Coast
Line. 1t seems, however, that it is the
policy of the Coast Line to employ only
men. The young ladies are given q
month Of grace in which to look Tor po-
sitions elsewhere. Some of them be-
tray feeling over their displacement
The auditing department of the Plant
system will, it is expected, be moved to
Wilmington from Savannah on August
/. J. Moultrie Lee, treasurer of the
Plant system, has been appointed as
sistant treasurer of the Atlantic Coast
Line.
w. H.. Young, formerly master me-
chanic of the Plant system at Sanford,
Fla, has been appointed superintendent
of motive power of the second division
of the Atlaztic Coast Line, as it will be
constituted On and after July LIST.

The Charleston Newe and Courier
says Of Mr.. w. N. Royal:
THE news Of Mr.. Royals appoint
ment as general superintendent OF the
first division was particularly crafty
ing to his many friends in Charleston
when the fact became known yesterday.
The appointment viii make Ii necessary
for him to leave Charleston, although
he will make frequent trips to this city
in the regular discharge Of his official
duties. For the past 10 years Mr.. Royal
has been superintendent Of the Atlantic
Coast Line at Charleston, having been
promoted from the position OF assistant
superintendent. Before being made as
sistant superintendent he was train
master, and in all OF these positions he
displayed such splendid business ability
that his value was recognized by the
head officials of the company. He en-
tered the service OF the company thirty
years ago, earned every stage OF the
work and got to the top because he had
the grit and the ability"
The Florence correspondent OF the
News and Courier says:
by the promotion Of Captain G.. G..
Lynch, from train master at Florence
to the district superintendency OF the
first division, with headquarters at
Charleston, Florence Will lose one or
her very best and most substantial citi-
Zens. Twenty-one years ago captain
Lynch came here as assistant master
of transportation. He was soon promo
ted train master. The work Of his Of
fee grew and he was given an assist
ant, Mr.. Charles Porter. who yet holds
the position. Captain Lynch Is an ex-
ceptional railroad man. He has his
men so organized for duty that there is
no friction whatever"
