PASSING OF NEGRO FIREMEN
The Central OF Georgia Railroad Is
Replacing the COlOred Men
With White Men.

The negro fremen on the Central of
Georgia are slated to 60 Already the
work of substituting white men in
their places has been begun by order
of Superintendent Pollard In letter
to the master mechanic, j. R. Hendon
he has directed that as rapidly as pos
sible all negroes firing engines on runs
out of this city should be discharged
as rapidly as their places could be
filled with white men. Already negro
firemen have been discharged, and
more will be let out this week. In
very short time the negro as fireman
on the Central will be no more.
The reason for this sudden and radi-
cal change in the character of the
labor used in stocking the engines of
the railroad is the notorious laziness,
shiftlessness and utter unreliableness
of the negro temperament. For long
time the Central has put up with these
traits in the negro because he was
mess done by the company has re-
quired economical administration; but
these conditions have been and are
changing The increasing prosperity
of the New South" resulting in in
creased railroad traffic, has caused a
revolution in the methods of the com
mon carrier. The old happy-go-lucky
tomorrow-will-do style is giving way
to modern, up-to-date methods in the
handling of freight. More modern and
time-saving equipment is being placed
in use and the spirit of progress is
being injected into the human ele-
ments of the commodity-distributing
organizations.
The negro is out of place in this new
order of things. A delay of the hour
of departure of freight train did not
make a great deal of difference in the
good old days. 1t was more profitable
to hold a freight train while a derelict
negro fireman was hunted up than it
was to hire a reliable white man. Now
things are different, and delay costs
money. Measured in cold cash, the
railroad company cannot afford to-
take time to hunt up stray negro to-
take the place of the regular negro
who cannot be found by the call-boy.
And this is one of the reasons why
the negro is slated to go-he can never
be found when called on, which is an
important requirement in a railroad
man. Another reason is his general
Iaziness.-Albany Herald.

RELATING TO IRON.
Discovery of the Metal, According
various Authorities.

Discovery of the Metal, According to-
various Authorities.
The Bible speaks Of Tubal Cain as
the discovercr of iron aud the father
OF smiths. The Egyptians imputed to
Uephaestus the same honor, while PHI
ny mentions it having been discovered
by Dactyles ON Mount Ida after the
forests on the mountain side had been
destroyed by lightning. This was about
l,l32 years Il. G. Jeremiah and EZe-
kicl both mention iron in their Scrip
tural writings, the latter specially men
tloning two qualities of the metal and
calling one bright iron. which was prob
nbly steel.
Moses mentions an iron furnace. and
Job speaks of 1t as being taken out OF
the earth. Thousands of years before
the opening OF the Christian era the
Egyptians used iron in making slckles,
knives and such things. Sparta first
used Iron for money. Britain also used
1t rs a medium of barter and exchange
prior to the conquest by the Romans.
The Britons before the time Of Christ
used To export iron to Gaul. and after
the Roman conquest The conquerors es-
tabllshed extensive smelling works,
which existed Mt least MS late as the
Saxon conquest.-St. James Gazette.
