STRIKE ON GEORGIA RAILROAD,

STRIKE ON GEORGIA RAILROAD.
Over the 500 miles of the Georgia
Railroad, including main line and
branches, not train has moved since
O'Clock Saturday night as the result
of the strike OF white iremen against the
employment Of negroes.
The tie.up became complete when AS
sistsnt Grand Chief Burgess, of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
declared Saturday night that 1t was un-
safe for engineers to take trains out
with negro fremen and ordered them TO
refuse to 60 out.
This action of the engineers stopped
every wheel on the Georgia Railroad.
Preceding the tie-up the negro fremen
we're btiug dragged from engines and
mobbed at every town along the line of
the road.
Many towns, Greensboro, COvington,
Athens, Warrentou, ard other placer,
received no mail yesterday and have
also suffered many other inconveniences
which come from the irregular running
of trains, but the citizens are not COM
planning, as they cay they are determiu-
ed to prevent the employment of negroes
in place of white men.
Telegrsphic reports say that certain
kinds of food are running shor, in towns
along the line.
General Manager Scott, of the Georgia
Railroad, has asked Gov. Smith to order
out the troops, but the governor will not
do it. He says the State has not enough
troops to patrol the 500 miles of rail-
road.
General Manager Scott says no attempt
will be made to operate trains until pro-
lection is afforded.

LAUNCH A FAILURE.

The failure Saturday to launch The

uow sscribsd 70 interference by work
men. The arsenal there is noted for the
strong sOcialistic and snarchistic spirit
prevailing among the employees. a So

Before the attempt at launching,
the secretary OF the local labor ex-

and was expelled by the police. The
workmen occupied with the prepsra-
lions for the launching, sang the "lu-

A REWARD OF MERIT.

SOMETIMES just when our misdI-
- rected efforts seem to have tangled
things in a hopeless snarl, and there
apears no way out, a power apparently
outside ourselves comes along to
smooth away me difficulties and make
the problem over which we have
worried no problem at ALL

to the AFFAIR with which he failed to

and unpleasant consequences for both.
IF there was only some woman 10
whom l could appeal who would look

there was no one whom he could call
to mind.
The thought crossed his mind once
of invoking the aid of Gladys Corlett,
but was as speedily dismissed In the
first place, II would be presumption TO
burden her with his difficulties upon
such short acquaintance: in the second,
he did not dare risk losing her favor
with a story which sounded so improb-
able.
All the way down town he cudgeled
his brains to no avail.
But no sooner had he arrived at the
Office than his predlcament straight
ened itself out as though by magic,
and the uncertainties dissolved like
morning mists before the coming of the
sunshine.
