be immediately promulgated, and will become effective at once, so that it may be said even now that the system of sep. arating the races is in effect. Instances have grown to be common where negroes have crowded white pa irons out of sleepers. either because of the negroes having pre-empted all avail able berths or because their presence was intolerab1y distasteful to white patrons. This has been true on lines in and out of Nashville. Chattanooga, Knoxville and numerous other places in the State. All of this is now. remedied by the signal victory of the Tennessee Railroad Com mission, and permanent relief Is afforded to white patrons on all lines in Tennes- see
 The victory of the Tennessee Railroad Commission may prove more sweeping and effective than appears on the sur face. It may result in action being talk en bv the Pullman Palace Car Company. ordering that white persons be relieved from association with negroes in sleep CTS throughout the Southern States.
 A meeting has been called in Chicago of all Southern agents of the Pullman Company. It Is reliably understood that this meeting is for the discussion of the matter which was started here by the protest of Governor Frazier There Is every probability that the meeting will result in a general order being issued by the Pullman Company requiring the negroes to be kept out of the sleepers oc- cupied by white patrons.
 Relief to Be Great.
 The extent of this relief Is not real ized at a casual glance. Not alone has this mixing of the races proved objec- tionable on account of the unavoidable association, but the same adjuncts of af haGfne pnFnhg brushes, towels and toilet-rooms have been utilized by the negroes as freely as by those white persons who have from either ignorance of the fact or from force of necessity been compelled to use these same articles and necessities. It means the estoppal of all this. the dis tinct and absolute separation or the races
 The question naturally arises as to how tbis order will be affected by the inter- state laws AS everyone knows, under these statutes, the negro is allowed to ride in the same sleepers with white per- sons This is easy of arrangement Dy inc placing of an additional sleeper on the train and setting it apart Tor the me- groes. One thing, however IS certain. Their day of thrusting themselves into the sleepers where there are White occu- nants is A thing of the past in the State of Tennessee.

Granbery. counsel here for the Pullman Company, was seen regarding tbe matter and said it was his under standing that the Pullman Company was simply to pursue its former policy or trying to keep the negroes out or tne steamers only that the company Woulu exercise greater care than in the past. His view of the matter was that the law annltes to railroad cars and not to sleepers.

IT WILL BE OPEN FOR DUsINzss
 NEXT YEAR.
Railroad Commission of Tennessee Issues an Order Against Negroes
 Riding in Sleeping Cars
 With White Persons.

When the cotton season begins next year, another big territory, rich in the production of the 1eecy staple and in trade for the local merchants and Job- bers, will have been opened to Montgoin- cry by the opening of the Hayneville Railroad, running from Tysons on the Mobile and Montgomery Division of the Louisville and Nashville through eight and half miles of the richest part of the county of Lowndes to Hayneviile. the pretty little capital of that county.
 The road will cross Jack Creek twice and Steep Creek once,' the three trestles averaging 300 feet each. The business people of Hayneville and Lowndes County are having the grading done, G.. w. Pruitt of this city having the contract. He expects to have the entire grading finished by February, though his contract does not call for the completion until Aor.! 1.
 After the grading Is finished the Louis- vile and Nashville is to furnish the steel. lay 1t and operate the road.
 There seems to be no doubt that the Louisville and Nashville win ultimately control the road, and it should be pay ing one, both for them and for Mont- gomery.
 Some years ago when the Montgomery, Hayneville and Camden Railroad was be- ing boomed ten miles were graded and the bonus of several thousand dollars from the State was secured. The Louis vile and Nashville was figuring on buiid- ing branch from its Pine Apple line into Camden, and the building of the Montgomery. Hayneville and Camden would not only have interfered with their plans but the ten miles of grading would have been a big help to. them. So they managed to get hold of the ten miles, added seven of their own, and there is the Louisville and Nashville branch into Camden.

division of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad had force of hands at work beginning the laying of new bulk track in the rear of the Griei building near the i union depot.
 | Monday morning work win begin on some Improvements that will add A vast deal to the terminal facilities of both the
 Louisville and Nashville and the Atlantic Coast Line. It is the paving and laying of two tracks on River Street, the paving to be 1000 feet beginning at the intersection
 of Moulton Street. River Street runs inst
 to the right or on the river side of the
 gene~al offices of the Atlantic Coast Line, and the beginning of this work brings out l story at once interesting and with men- ories of 'ye olden time.
 Years and years ago, so long in fact ! that these circumstances have passed out of the recollection of most of us what was called "The Mobile Gardens" stood on bold bluff directly opposite the point that the Coast Line offices occupy at present. The building in these gardens represented what the second floor of the handsome union station building does now. It was the offices of the Superin- tendent of the Mobile and Montgomery division of the Louisville and Nashville. with the office of the Master of Trains and Chief Train Dispatcher of the divis- ion as well as the office and big force of clerks of the General Freight Agent of the Louisville and Nashville. the lamented Theodore Welch.
 The gardens were always kept in the most perfect order. Roses and plants of that kind as we'll as rare tropical plants
 iourished under the watchful care given them. A long series of steps down the side of the bluff dropped into the Water Street yards at the entrance to the big cut.
 It was in the early part of 1899 when the Mobile and Montgomery offices were in- stalled fin the union station building that they occupy now. The offices in the old Mobile Gardens hsd been abandoned and the buildings and gardens themselves were being demolished.
 The Atlantic Coast Line did not own the Plant System then, Major Bradford Durham of this city being the General Superintendent of that big system. The Plant people claimed that they owned that part of River Street that had been oecu- pied by the old Mobile Garaens. The Louisville and Nashville people objected in strenuous terms and a row began. Tracks were built at night along the ex- treme north edge of the street so peril freight cars were run on them to prevent their being torn up the ground began to cave away. Then the Plant people began cutting down the street to as near a grade with their Tallapoosa yards as pos- sible. Injunctions began to fly, steam shovels ceased their paintings and a law suit was on.
 The decision arrived at by the lawyers was that one-half of the street. the side nearest the general offices, belonged to the Plant System. and that the other half of the street was the propertv of fha Louisville and Nashville.
 So this is the way the matter will stand when work is commenced Monday morn ing. The Coast Line will pave its half of the street and the Louisville and Nash vile its half, the paving being paid for jointly. the roads building their own tracks.

MIR. Roosevelt Before the War.

The Hon. John D. Long. lately sec
rotary of the navy mas gained no
laurels for himself by his seeming at
tempt to place President Roosevelt in
an unfavorable light before the world.
Mr.. Long has been printing in the
Outlook magazine a serial history of
the American navy, and when he
reached the events which preceded the
declaration of war with Spain. he said.
speaking of Mr. Roosevelt:
"Just before the war he. as we'll as
some other naval officers. was anxious
to send squadron across the ocean
to sink the ships and the torpedo boat
destroyers of the Spanish navy while
we were yet at peace with Spain"
As a matter of course. partisan
papers unfriendly to the president
have seized upon this statement of Mr..
Long as proof that Mr.. Roosevelt.
while assistant secretary of the navy.
urged a grave breach of the national
honor. In response to the. comments
Of the democratic press, Mr.. Long by
no means removed the impression that
he wished to discredis Mr.. Roosevelt
when he permitted himself to be in
terviewed and made this explanation:
1T was a mighty pressing time. The
war was inevitable. and il was almost
on US. The Spanish fleet. with its
then dreaded tcrpedoboats. was on it's

the opinion that no such action was

there might be peace with honor; but
he was too far-sighted a statesman to
have any substantial hope that war
could be avoided. His chief aim was
to prepare the country for a war, the
magnitude of which nobody could fore
see, because nobody could predict with
certainty that one or more European
nations would not join Spain against
US. If there was any difference Of
opinion between President Mckinley
and Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, il
was merely as to policy. According to
Mr.. Long. himself. who was Mr.
Roosevelt's chief. the war was in
evitable. and it was almost on US"
The Spanish fleet had already sailed
for America. Its mission was as
clearly hostile as if war had already
been declared between the two coun-
tries. Recognizing these facts, Mr..
Roosevelt, it appears. urged that an
American fleet be sent to intercept the
Spaniards and destroy them, and thus
crush the Spanish power at the very
outset
If Mr.. Roosevelt did advocate this
procedure, Mr.. Long has convicted him
of nothing less than the possession CT
rare courage and sagacity.
