The Phoenix.

The Phoenix was, as you might say,
The burning question of his day;
The more he burned, the more he grew
Splendiferous in feathers new.
And from his ashes rising bland
Did business at the same old stand.
But though good people went about
And talked, they could not put him out.
A wond'rous bird-indeed they say
tie is not quite exunet to-day.

Notices Of dismissal have been re-
ceived within the past day or two by
quite a large number Of clerks en-
ployed in the general Offices of the
Atlantic Coast Line in this city, 1t
being stated that probably as many as
100 persons will be affected. The or
ders now issued are effective Jan. /,
and at that time dozens Of men will
be thrown out Of employment.
1t Is stated that, not only are the
Office forces of the road affected, but
that the order. issued some time ago,
applied to all the shops and other de-
partments Of the system. and that a
big reduction in the number Of en-
ployes of the Atlantic Coast Line has
resulted.
Other railroad systems. and not
only Southern roads, but the great
Northern and Western systems, hav,
also ordered curtailment Of expenses
by reducing the respective forces and
the Atlantic Coast Line is one of the
last companies to make this order,
which results in the enforced idleness

Sumter and Neighboring Cities NAV
Organize Racing Circuit,

The following news item from The
State will be Of interest 10 many
Sumter horsemen:
''It has been suggested that a spring
turf meet be held, the circuit being
composed of towns in this State and
Georgia. There is just now more in
terest shown in horses than has ever
been the case in this part of the coun-
try and the annual meet would prove
a great success.
"a prominent horseman Of Sumter
suggests that the circuit include the.
following: Sumter, Spartanburg, CO.
lumbia, Augusta, Savannah and Char
lesion. All these places have good
tracks and interest in horse races is
manifested whenever an opportunity
for holding n meet has presented ih
SELF IS stated, in Sumter there is a
good track with accommodations for
SO or more horses at the present time.
Thus far there have been two very
successfui meets, which have indi-
Gated that the people will support a
regular event.
AT the Spartanburg fair the racing
took well and there were a number
Of entries from other counties in this
State. At Columbia the annual State
fair meet brings together a number Of
South Carolina horses, and the horses
now in training there indicate a good
patronage from that end of the cir
cult. Augusta has races at the an
nua. fair in that city and both Char
lesion and Savannah have race tracks.
On the whole the opportunity for an
annual event is very encouraging and
If the event is pulled off It would
mean much to the State.'

One Of the buildings was the ODD

There appears to be a dynamite

against the negro secret societies,
whose halls to the number Of at least
Ave have been completely demo olished
within the last month.
As the result Of the dynamiting Of
50 many lodge rooms there is a reign

whites are dynamiting their halls on
account Of the difficulty in securing
labor. the labor troubles being blam-
