WOULD 1NJunE IT'S CREDIT.
Reason of Southern For Refusing Loan
of Part Of EmplOycx, Mnces

Especial to The Times Dlspatch.1
SPENCER, N. c., March Ga num-
Der of the employees OF the Southern
Railway Company have been puzzled
to know why the company does not
accept the offer of tho employees to
loan 1t q certain per cent. of their
wages during the period of business
depression, the loan to amount to
100000 monthly. Considerable light
is thrown on the matter by General
Manager G. II. Ackert who writes here
that the company Is making a strenu-
GUS effort to re-establsh its credit:
that II tho money Is used as offered,
the amount would show as balance
due employees, and that In his Judgment
this would tend to lessen instead of
strengthen credit. Mr.. Ackert express
es great regret at necessity to ask
for reduction in wages.
The Law and Order League of Sails
bury on yesterday sent Mr.. T. II. Van
derford, of that city. to Washington as
special representative to ask the
officials of the Southern Railway Cons
pany to retain Station Master j. A.
Siceloff at the passenger depot there.

POLITICS INTO
POLITICAL CLUB
Contributor Claims Organization May
be Injured If Politics is
Injected.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
Politics has crept into the Colored
Young Mems Christian club which was
organized Thanksgiving day at the
suggestion of Messrs Brown and Pow
ers of the white Y. NJ. c. A. The
club elected board of directors to
conduct its affairs. There was some
opposition r. the election of Rev.
William Alex d. Venerable, but the
nature of the opposition did not come
to light until the day following GER
tain parties gave it out that because
OF political differences during the re-
cent campaign. they would not sub
NIT to the election of Rev. Mr.. Ven
cradle as a member of the board of
directors.
Thus the war began. The more
liberal men of the club did not sympa-
thize with the political move against
Mr.. Venerable, SO the gentlemen in
stituting the fight Were forced to
change their tactics. They now pro-
pose to have the committee on consti-
tuition report against resident pastors
serving in official capacity Such ac
! tion may mean the death of this much
needed club among the colored young
men of Keokuk The white people
very much regret this political move
| in a Christian club. az
