Mr.. ACkERPS STATEMENT.
Every PrecautiOn viii be Taken
ToPreyent Wrecks on South
ern Railway.

Mr.. Ackert, Vice President, and Gen.
eral Manager of the southern Railway
Company, said to-day:
tSome question seems to have been
made in the newspapers recently as to
the age of the operators employed on
our line. While this comment has been
made in connection with the catastrophe
which happened Thanksgiving morning
near Lawyets, virginis. in which Presi-
dent Spencer lost his life, no such ques-
tion could properly arise in connection
with that accident because the operator
there at fault was % years old
"These comments, have, however,
caused me to make special lnvestiga-
tion to ascertain definitely the age of OPP
orators employed on other standard
lines. I find that the ages of operators
op our line are we'll up TO the standard
age, it being universally considered that
an operator, if of sufficient intelligence,
is entirely reliable for such work ut the
age of Is, which Is permitted by statute
In one or more of the States. Some well
managed companies accept operators at
Is years of age, if their character and
intelligence justify.
"While heretofore the Superintend-
ents and Trainmssters hsSe inspected
the offices and the work of our block
operators. we are now lnaugurating q
system of special inspectors who will de-
vote their entire time to this duty and
act under the direction of our Chief Dis
patchers.
"The system of requiring the bl"ck
sheets to be iled in the Chief Dispatch
er's Office was discarded by Us some-
time ago because of the possibility OF
fixing up such sheets before they were
sent In and hence this would give no
reliable information as To the actual
performance OF duty by the operators,
1t has been determined that inspection
of the work itself at unexpected periods
and at irregular intervals is q more re-
liable and satisfactory test of the fideli'
and efficiency of the, operators. This Ia
the method We have been pursuing and
under the system of special inspection
will continue"

every convenience and yet be within q
few hours, drive Of points Of interest
Mr.. Brock believes good road from
here to Flat Rock is prime necessity,
and expresses himself as heartily in fav-
orsof good roads throughout the county.
He says that building either the lake or
one of the much talked of railroads will
change the future of Hcndersonvilie
greatly, altho' even without these de-
sirable additions, the climate, the ali.

Among the improvements which
might be made here, would be the re-
moVal Of the monument from its pres
ent location to the court house grounds
on the corner, say next the rock build-
ing. Its present location is source OF
danger. and in case of accident It is
said the town would be held liable for
damages. Many Of our prominent citi-
zens advocate its removal to the court
house grounds, where the county com
missioners would have direct supervis-
ion over it. and where they could FIX up
its immediate surroundings. 1t is said
the monument would show on to much
better advantage on the corner, sur
rounded by grass and flowers, and that
it would remove all possibility of acci-
dent, also.

Talking about improving the appear
ance of the town, the depot grounds
will probably be as unsightly this sum-
mer as they were last. The hideous
red bank there might be covered with
quick-growing vines which would
change its appearance greatly. And
provision also should be made for the
busses and carriages to have dry place
to stand in. Last summer the place was
a miniature lake and passengers walked
ankle deep in mud to reach the hotel
buses.

capture him. Clarence" had the time
of his life, and with Il wicked and sim

the station and railroad yards until
his legs were tired and his voice was
hoarse.
Clarence" was once the property Of
j. B. Flemming. who lives on Walkers
island. He is a direct descendant OF
the king of spades His black coat
glistened i'm the sunlight. while he WAS
being dragged to the stock yards yes
terday. When the corner of Third
and Pierce streets was reached "Clar-
ence" winked one eye under the board
"blnker" which partially covered his
stern face.
1t was then that an idea was born.
The bull remembered Bill Barlow's
saying: The mummy amt had no fun
for five thousand years" That was
enough for Clarence" He thought of
being mummy. as everything looked
as stho he would be "embalmed" in
a few days, and the time to see Sioux
City was before he was put in the same
physical condition as the mummy.
For more than an hour the bull wan
dered about at will and all efforts to
get near him were recognized by Clar-
ence, who bowed his head and began
TO sing grand opera. Finally he made
for the combination bridge and passed
over peaceably without getting clear
ance or fearing that he would run into
a street car or freight train. Mr.. l'lem-
ming declares he will coax Clarence
into the barn and make a new start
