HOW ABOUT THE OPERATORS
He Is as Important to Safe Train
Passage as the Dispatcher

He Is as Important to Safe Train
Passage as the Dispatcher.
To GoodIand Republic:
I note a write up in your paper,
Friday, 18th inst, The Train Dis
patcher holds the travellers lives in
the hollow OF his hand" This Is all
very true on his part but give the poor
night operator a little credit along
that line also. Who has a more
lonely position than the night OPer-
ator out at some little 90 s" sta
ton? He certinly has the travellers
lives in the hollow Of his hand
This has ben demonstrated more than
once and recently on this division,
for instance, the train dispatcher gets
good salary can afford good room,
good board and plenty to do to keep
awake while on duty
The poor fifty dollar operator has
TO take a cheap room cheap board
and cheaper II married. At night
he comes down to Office, reports for
duty as tired as when relieved in
morning, there TO remain in his little
office twelve hours In this condi-
ton ne must stay awake, CHATS what
we are paid fOr) or worse, not dare
to 60 to sleep, let the trains by un-
known 10 him, take an order when
gone, and meet out q few miles on
single track Dispatcher has to de-
pend on an operator to assist in get
ting trains over the line and one lit
tie error on the operators part may
result in a great disaster.
IT'S true the dispatcher has gone
through all this, has climbed the
ladder from the bottom to his present
position, he is now enabled to stay
awake while on duty by its surround
ings but not so with the night Oper-
atOr. His board may be for red for
an approaching train, the whistle
awakens him he pulls it clear and
the train speeds by possibly to dis
truction, a number Of lives crushed
out without warning. Dispatcher is
not accountable for this error as the
operator holds the travellers lives
in the hollow Of his hand"

The twenty-first annual convention
Of the Sixth district W. c. T. L. was
held at Hill City, September 20 and
q, Sherman county was represented
by the district and also county
president, Mrs. Eva NJ Murphy and
Mrs. X R. Marshall, president OF
GOOdland local union. The attend
ance Of delegates was not as large
as usual, probably because Of the in
adequate railroad facilities. The
Hill City union had made splendid
arrangements for the comfort and
convenience Of the visitors. The large
south side opera house was well filled
at both evening meetings by an at
tentive and appreciative audience
Reports showed much excellent work
done and plans for more and better
work next year were made 1t was a
profitable meeting. The following
officers were elected: President,

Nineteen Persons Roast to Death.

New York, March 14.-Nineteen per-
sons were burned to death, several were
so badly hurt they may die, and forty
others received slightcr hurts in fire
that practically destroyed five-story
tenement house in Allen street to-day.
The fire had gained great headway be-
fore it became known to most of the
tenants, and many of them were cut
OFF before they could make an attempt to
save themselves.
Thrilling rescues and daring leaps for
life marked the fire. Scores were carried
from the blazing building. Crowded
fire escapes in the rear of the tenement
house were largely responsible for so
many deaths and injuries among it's
population, which approached 200 souls.

WALHALLA, 3. e. {:
wEDNKs OAx. MARCH i5, 1905
ONE OF THE THINGS WE WANT.

One oe Walhalla's great needs is
large and comfortable hall or opora
house. Here's an opportunity for the
Civic Improvement Association to get
busy right away. There are no adequate
accommodations in the town for the
lyceum attractions or other shows or en-
tertainments that come our way. We
ought to have good. large, comfortable
opera house with well-arranged stage
ready for any and every emergency, aud
there should be comfortable seats and
plenty of room for the audiences. There
is one hall suffic emily large for all de-
mands, we'll elevated stage. large and
roomy, that could be made into first
class opera house for town of Walhalla's
size, and we understand the owner is
willing to make the necessary changes if
there are any Inducements offered. At
any rate, let's have an opera house. Re-
cont entertainments have proven that
the present accommodations are entirely
insufficient for the attractions that come
this way, and we have lost some that
would have come had there been any
way to accommodate them. Think about
it and let us have an opera house.

Resolutions Other Matters.

Seneca, March 13.-Editors Courier
The Baptist Sunday school at Seneca
unanimously adopted yesterday the fol
lowing resolutions:
Whereas it has pleased God to remove
from US our beloved brother, Jesse w.
Stribling, who was prime mover in the
organization, charter member and the
first superintendent of this Sunday
school; therefore be it
Resolved, That in the death Of Jesse
w. Stribling, which occurred February
q, 1905, the Baptist Sunday school at
this place has lost one of its most devoted
and best members; one who through
many years served it with untiring energy
and fidelity in every capacity.
Resolved further. That his exemplary
Christian life and fai thfulness in the dis
charge of every duty shall be remem-
bered by us as an example worthy of
imitation, and that we cherish his
memory with love and sincerity.
Resolved further, That copies of this
preamble and resolutions be furnished
his family and our county and denomi-
national papers, and spread upon the
minutes of this Sunday school.
We have not lost hope of driving the
dispensaries out of this county. May we
count on The Keowee Courier for help in
this great work? Don't say no.
Let me again urge the Baptists
in the Beaverdam Association to
push home missions during the next
five weeks. 1t is not long till the
Southern Baptist Convention assemblies
in Kansas City, and it is sincerely hoped
that this association will not let that
time arrive with us behind in our tri-
buttons to home missions. This will, re-
quire liberal giving from now till the
convention. Brethren, pray and give.
Fraternally, G. Wardlaw.

SOLD $4,000 WORTH OF BOOZE.

During the year 1904 the two iispen-
Saries in Oconee county retailed u our
citizens approximately $4,000 worth of
wines, liquors and beer. These figures
are not given as absolutely correct, but
they are reasonably SO. The sales from
the dispensary at Walhalla have been
annually between $4,000 and $50, 900,
and 1904 was an average business year
for our "moral institution" We have
not the exact figures at hand TO show
just what the liquor business for Wal
halla amounted to, gross sales, net pro-
fits, etc, but the following table, fur
nished us by the dispensary authorities
ut Seneca is interesting, and from it can
be drawn many lessons that ought to
appeal to the habitual drinker The
statement is as follows:

People in this section have about ar
rived at the conclusion that the purchase
of rights of way by the Southern Rail
way along the old Blue Ridge survey
above Walhalla, means that the "block"

things. So long as there is no railroad
there can be no wrecks.

Don't let the offers of cents for your
cotton throw you off your guard. The
mills kept on running when cotton went
to Is and IA cents, and they are not going
to be closed this year on account of the
price. The buyers who want your cot
ton now at s cents are trying to get it
for one of two reasons They may have
sold, months ago, cotton they didn't
raise, didn't own and didn't know that
they would ever see; in other words,
they agreed to deliver YOUR cotton at a
certain price, and now they are short.
Or they may be figuring on buying it
now at cents and selling it later when
the price goes up. Hold your cotton for
10 cents if it is worth 10 cents. You are
better entitled to that 50 or $40 extra on
each bale than is the speculator.

of them have contributed to Walhalla
and Seneca, the public schools of the
county, and distiiiers in other States an
amount fully six times IS great, and
each individual who contributed to the
general fund received his fair proportion
of the damnation that goes with every
purchase of liquor.
Who buys the liquor? Is it the rich
man who can afford luxuries, or is it the
man who cannot afford it, and who,
every time he invests i'm the stuff, not
only robs his family of some necessity or
comfort, but himself of his manhoodp ?
For answer one has but to watch and
note those who frequent the dispensaries.
1t is safe to say ths.t 10 per cent of the
purchasers cannot afford it.
If every man who goes to the dispen-
sary during the year 1905 will just stop
long enough to think twice before he
acts, there will be great reduction in
the dispensar! receipts this year. Just
ask yourself, C'n L afford ita Am do
ing my family justicep Am 1 doing my.
self justicep Is this the best use to
which can put my money? If you can
consoientiously answer Eyes" to each of
these questions, then go ahead buy all
you want, all you can. If, however, you
find "no" is the answer, then stop and
think. No man has right to do that
which he cannot afford-it is dishonest;
no man has right to rob his family or
injure himself; no man has right to
waste The substance with which he has
been olest, whether it be great or little.
Let US all stop and think before we
act-deal justly with our fellows and
ourselves,
