 The race which promices to be the most interesting of all will be the 10o-mile one Each of the drivers mentioned is a man of national and international repu- tation and the fight for first place in this race will be a thriller.

NEW SEAB0ARD
 TRAINS PUT ON

Officers of the Seaboard Air Line ex- pressed themselves yesterday as great ly pleased with the way their new train service worked. The fast train which left here for New York at a. m. made the run to Atlanta on time to the sec ond-four hours and 15 minutes. The new evening train for the east leaving at 4:10 o'clock also made Atlanta on time.
 In order that the fast morning train may make the schedule time only two station stops are allowed between here and Atlanta; but the local passenger business Is taken care of by an accom- modation train that leaves at 5:30 a.. m. This is an additional train, and runs on Sunday as well as week days. All the Seaboard trains leaving yes- terday were well filled. Superintend- ent Waite said last night that he had never seen single days business quite so good.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
An Appeal for Orphanaqe.
the Editor of The Herald.

To the Editor of The Age Herald
 The month of May has been given to the orphanage for the first time by tn @ other benevolent interests of our de- nomination.
 This arrangement has been thought proper on account of the fact that little is being done by us for associational mission work; this month having been given heretofore to that interest.
 We are appealing to the churche es societies and other friends of the home during this month as we will not have another opportunity until November. We are sorry to say to the friends of the institution that We are having seri- ous sickness in the home, which will money for the complete sanitation of the premises and the fitting up of the hospital so as to comfortably care for the sick children.
 Besides this, a large debt has ac- crued on account of having erected large school building last year and also an increase in the inmates of the home making 1t necessary for a larger con- tribution to the home than ever be- fore.
 We make this appeal to you in be- half of these helpless children which have been committed to our care Yours fraternally, s. o. Y. RAY,
 Financial Secretary.

Greenvlle, May 2.-(Special)-At g o'clock Friday night a terrific rain and wind storm swept over all this part of Butler county. All the lands in the storm area were badly washed, and the cotton that had come up was in some places washed up. The only damage that the wind did that has been so far reported was at Forest Home, about IA miles west of Greenville. The large stores of the Forest Home Mercantile company and G. $. Lazenby X Sons were blown down and a loss of about $17,500 was sustained. The residence of J. F.

Little Things Destroy Confidence.

LiItlc iHin9S DeStToy OonIlocnCe.
 Young people little realize what a great impression small things make upon those who are watching their careers, says Dr. Warden, writing in Success Magazine.
 A very successful business man became so prejudiced against a debtor who did not pay his note, or even speak to him about 1t, until several days after 1t was due, that he absolutely lost all confidence in the young mans business ability.
 This young man thought that two or three days would not make much differ ence with millionaire who knew he was honest but it made all the difference be- tween confidence and no confidence.
 Many young men are very careless about their banking They frequently oVerdraw their accounts, and are not prompt in paying or renewing their notes. They may be perfectly honest, but they are careless. They lack system, are un- business-like, and this destroys confidence.
 Good business men are very prompt, and they have no patience with procrastina- tors. Promptness is a principle with these men, and failure to meet an en- gagement, to pay note promptly, d careless habit regarding business matters, destroys their confidence.
 There is no one thing outside of hon. eSty WHICH Will nelp man credit so much as the reputation of being prompt punctual. Capital is very timid, and un- reliability, the lack of promptness slow enly methods will quickly ruin a man s credit.
 Business men do not like to deal with people they have to watch all the time. They like to feel sense of certainty and of security in their dealings with man.
 It does not take long to ruin ones credit f.,- faff tfar. tntrr raf. Il honest he may have been for years, he can undo 1t all in 0 very short time by carelessness, forgetfulness, slipshod meth odS.

WORK WILL BEGIN
 ON NEW RAILROAD

Florence, May 2.-(Special.) )-The re- cording in the Lauderdale county probate judges office, during the past few days, of large number of deeds and contracts for the right of way from property own CTS to the Florence Northern Railway company has given rise to the belief that the Florence Northern railway, the con struction of which was delayed by the recent financial depression, is about to be begun Several years ago between S50.- 900 and S75,O00 worth of ore lands were bought in Wayne county, Tenn, which Is to tbe traversed by the Florence North ern railway. The survey for the road had been made into Florence and the right of way secured when the panic came. It is rumored that Pennsylvania capitalists are backing the deal with ample funds and the actual construction of the road will be commenced by fall. Some of the deeds recorded date back as far as 1887.

Types of Employers.

From the Bookkeeper.
 Some men consider their office girl a mere object of irritation. never thinking that possibly she prefers the attention of a man with a little more hair on the top of his head and with some of his own teeth. Then there is the ill-mannered man. who feels under no obligation to employ common courtesy while in his of flee; the man who always must have his own way; and one who never can ex- cuse an error; the changeable man who gives instructions today and tomorrow makes them exactly opposite; the man who interrupts his stenographer a thou sand times during the day and then ex- poets her work to be done. On the other hand there Is that angelic type so in tensely kind-hearted and careful that one feels under constant obligation to him. and wishes he would find a little fault with her, or at least ignore her entirely for an hour or two.

MEMORIAL EXERCISES HELD

Ensley, May 2-(Special.) 1.-The memori- al exercises were fittingly observed at Ensley today Possibly the largest con- course of people that ever assembled in Oakland cemetery was present to do honor to the distinguished dead Gen. Fred s. Fergerson was the orator of the day and acquitted himself admirably. The parade was formed at the city hall, headed by Camp Pat Cleburne, Confed- crate veterans. The school children and Daughters of the Confectionery followed and behind them were the Sons of Vet erans and Troop D, A. N. G.
 Promptly at 2:30 the procession started for Oakland, and notwithstanding that conveyances had been provided for the veterans, they insisted on marching to the grounds. At the cemetery R. L. Dan- iels, commandant of the Sons of Veterans, acted as master of ceremonies After prayer by Rev. B. B. Glasgow and hymn led by the Jefferson male chorus, MT. Daniels, in a brief but appropriate speech, introduced the orator of the day, Gen. Fred S. Ferguson of Birmingham. General Ferguson made an eloquent and appropriate address It was singularly htted Tor the occasion, as He polHlSu Oul to the younger generation the fact that to them would soon be left the duty of perpetuating the deeds Of their fathers. In language graphic and eloquent he re- counted the imperishable glory won by the heroes who wore the gray and made an impassioned appeal that in their few remaining years they should receive the homage that was so justly due them. He paid a glowing tribute to those heroic women the Daughters of the Confed- eracy, who are devotins their time and means in behalf of the old veterans. At the conclusion of his speech, which was heard with close attention by his com- rades and the large assemblage present, three volleys were fired by Troop D.
 In the midst of the most profound si- lence Taps was sounded, and as the last note died away many head was bowed in remembrance of some comrade who has crossed the river. The Jefferson male chorus sang several appropriate se- lections in an excellent manner, which added much to the effectiveness of the occasion The graves of the honored dead were then strewn with beautiful flowers, laid with tender care by loving hands which will forever and forever keep the memory of the dead in tender remem- brance.
