are no statistics to be had showing

the reductions will extend, and who

GENERALLY COMMENDED
Action OF the southern's Management
Ii EullY Iul0rspI

Action OF the Sonthern's Management
Is Fully Indorsed.
Though the estimated earnings of the
Southern Railway for tho first week
in January show decrease of $780,
Ss5 over. the corresponding week of
last year. the record is far better than
FOR the fourth week in December, when
the revenue decrease amounted to
the financial condition, which will be-
come even more marked within the
next few weeks. is due to two things
the general reduction In the operating
account and the increase In the volume
OF traffic.
Scaling of Salaries.
More Important. ..uwever. than any
statement issued heretofore by the
Southern is the announcement from
Pres hent Finley that effective Februa-
~ lst. there will be a general seal
ing of salaries paid the general Off
GERS and their clerks and employees. Be-
tween 1880 and 1000 persons will be
affected, fact which Is not relished by
them but which is deemed advisable
because of the necessity for retrench-
ment and RELIEF. IN cutting, the sala-
ries OF the high officers. including the
president, the vice-presidents and
ed that the new policy shall not strike
men in minor positions alone. Even
when President Finley declines to
f aaz w hs er red a
ing expenses. the impression that this
is the direct cause seems to. be the
prevailing one SO far as the pub
lie Is concerned.
RcccIvership Talk Unfoundcd.
Reports that the Southern Is con-
sidering the proposition OF having a
receiver appointed to manage its pro-
perty seem to be without any founda-
ton Of fact. This rumor has been set
at rest in the most emphatic terms
by the company. and at the offices OF
York The action OF the management
in beginning at the top III reducing ex-
penses is regarded as the wisest course
possible. The curtallment OF the pas
senger service, though not causing any
serious inconvenience to the public, and
the adjustment Of the rate question
in a number of Southern States. will
have a most wholesome effect on the
finances OF the company.

KILLED TWO, WOUNDED ONE.
Posse Searching for Murderer, Who
Has Little Chance.

Lithonia, Ga, Oct. 19.-With busi-
ness here practically at a standstill
and excitement at fever heat, several
posses Of heavily armed and thor
oughly determined officers and citi-
zens are securing this whole section
on hunt for Charlie Mitchell, the
desperate negro who Sunday shot and
killed Bailiff Thomas l.. Peek and
Charles F. Argo, young liveryman,
and brutally beat and almost killed
Deputy Sheriff Charles S. Elicit.
Should the negro be captured there
Is no doubt but that summary venge-
ance will be wreaked for his slaugh-
ter. 1t is known that the desperate
is armed with two revolvers and has
supply of cartridges, and he declar-
ell to his wife as he fled from the
scene Of his crime that he would
never be taken alive. With this
ers will take no chances, and it Is
expected that the fugitive will be
shot to death on sight. He will never
be given the opportunity to take ano-
ther human life.
The people here are confident that
the murderer will be run down and
they are equally sure that he will
never be brought to trial. The rifles,
shotguns and pistols, which are in
evidence on all sides in the town of
LithOEia and along the country roads.
form silent but intensely eloquent
basis for this belief
