RAILROAD MEN AND THE PUBLIC

The Greenville Mountaineer
publishes in lis last issue a let
ter written some time ago by
Judge Geo. w. Gage, of Chester,
to President Finley of the South
ern Railway, thanking him for
requesting the employees of his
company to treat the public with
courtesy. The letter is as follows:
"l was so much pleased with
your recent utterances before
employes-at Atlanta, I believe
that | have determined to say
so to you.
A community judges a railroad
corporation by the treatment it
is accorded by the roads agents
there. II railroad agents i'm sub
ordinate places would treat the
public like storekeeper does
when the public enters a store,
the public would rapidly grow
toregard kindly The railroad com
pany. | am sure the average
railroad agent does not realize
how much good and how much
harm he can do his principal"
That is rather a remarkable let
ter, but the conditions which
called it forth are still more re

Work of Watch Wheels.

Very few who carry a watch
ever think of the unceaslng labor
it performs, and there are many
who think a watch ought to run
for years without cleaning or a
drop of oil. Read this ana judge
for yourself: The main wheel
in an ordinary American watch
makes four revolutions in twenty
four hours, or 1850 in, year.
The center wheel makes twenty
four revolutions in day, or
S,76O in year. The thild wheel
1872 in day, or SO ,0SO in year.
The fifth or scape wheel $4,000
in a day, or 141,SS2, 900 in
year. 1t is evident then that a
watch. to do good service, should
be cleaned and oiled once in 18
months, if not oftener. Clocks
ditto. If yours needs cleaning
or repairing in any way, bring it
to my shop and get the work
done right. My work is firstclass
and my prices are reasonable. If
you would like TO know whether
or not you need spectacles, I
will examine your eyes without
charge.

time of arrival Is February 13 and here likewise six days will be devoted to re- spite from cruising routine. Then comes the longest lap of the journey, the cruise from Callao to Magdaena Bay, a stretch of 3,012 knots. The final spurt from Magdalena Bay to San Francisco is only 1000 knots in length and 1t Is expected that If it Is made without mishap the floating fortresses will be enabled to drop their mud hooks" within the Golden Gate on April 10.
 The task of managing a fleet of sixteen battleships which must be kept intact continuously will at all times be pretty much of an undertaking but some DOT lions of the long cruise will put par ticularly severe test upon the American comma nder-in n-chief and his captains. Con- spicuous among these strenuous intervals will be that required for the passage of the fleet through the Straits of Magellan. Here stretch of 240 miles must be made between daylight and dusk. With one ship 1t would be easy enough but when sixteen must make the passage the situ- ation is decidedly different and requires careful handling The whole fleet will make 'stop over'' of one month at Mag dalena Bay, Lower California and the in terya from March : to April will be de voted to target practice.
