TAKING POT LUCK.

At a period Of great stress in the
financial history Of the southern Rail
road the president called his assist
ants--msnagers. vice presidents and
superintendents--in conference and
told them that they must all take
pot luck together until the road came
TO better days.
This spirit of taking pot luck to-
gether is necessary in every enter
prise. Those who are loyal stick
whether IN good times or bad. Those
who criticize and pull back must be
eliminated. The armies of Europe
call criticism and opposition 10 the
direction OF tne campaign traitorous.
