ES, I've quit railroading: and I will never throw another ■witch or flog another train as long as I have my faculties well oiled and the bearings cool.” A number of old-time printers were seated on the railing In front of the office watting for the "ghokt” to walk, wben one of the party asked Stiff If he bad given up railroading. Stilt had "carried” this same comp over the road a number of times. "Why, on my last trip out of Mem phis In II— you were flagging for your brother and you told me you had adopted the road, as there was good money and a future In It On that trip you 'took In' more than a V, besides your salary. Why did you give It up?" "■0. hoodoo." “A what?" "A hoodoo." "Oh, come off! What are you giving us? What kind of a hoodoo?" "A negro." “How was that? Tell us about It” "We had the best run on the road— a fast freight—leaving Memphis at 10:20 at night and arriving at Amory, the end of our division, early the next morning. We had a negro brakeman called ‘Big Six,' who was the best worker and the meanest negro I had ever come In contact with. He was afraid of nothing on earth except tha 'captain,' as he called the conductor. He failed to 'show up' for his run one night. When we returned to Mem phis we were Informed 'Uncle Zack' had been murdered. " ‘Uncle Zack' was an .old negro who flagged a street crossing In Memphis for our road, and was one of the best old negroes I have ever known. He and hie wife were peacefully sleeping' In their little cottsge near the cross ing the night before, when the woman was awakened as a blow was struck her husband. ‘"Big Six’ was standing by the bed side with an ax In hie hands, with which he had split wide open the head of the old negro. The woman recog nised him and screamed. He fled, and a diligent search by the officers tailed to reveal hie whereabouts. "That night we pulled out at 10:20, as usual. Twenty miles out of Mem phis, at Cold Water Creek, we took water. Just after leaving the tank, one negro brakeman came back to the caboose and reported that 'Big Six' had boarded the train. "The conductor told him to say nothing and we would capture him at Holly Springe, which was our next stop. "When we arrived there a police man was summoned, and the night clerk of the depot eating house Joined In the capture oO the negro. "I had 1? 'passengers’ In a car of corn, from whom I had ‘collected’ IMS. “ i this car ‘Big Six' had taken refuge. "The policeman and clerk took their CANDIDATES ACTIVE IK DARIEN COUNTY 8pedal to The Georgian.

"The moon was shining almost as bright as day. When the order to vacate was given there was a rustle In the corn and a black figure leaped through the window to the top of ths car In front - .' "Tho conductor yellcll to him to stop, but he started down the train. Every man began firing at him, and after run ning the length of two cars be leaned to the ground and started for an old field near the railroad track. He ran Into a wire fence, but' broke through’ and we thought he had escaped. We got through the fence as soon as possible, but not a sign of the fleeing negro was there. "We thought he had dropped Into ditch and would probably fire on us, eo we began our search very cautiously. "•Here he Is,' called the conductor, and we hurried to his side to find ‘Big Six’ with eyes wide open,'as If looking Into the beyond, but still In death. "The officer took charge of the body, and wo pulled out for’Amory. "I remained on the road Just one month from that night, and during that time we had eleven wrecks, end 11 took In a penny.

The progressive fraternal order helpa those who help themselves. Death can stop your salary, but It cannot stop your life certificate. There Is only one sure way of get ting your money bark from a fraternal order—stick to It. Trouble comes lo nearly, all of us. If we hold a certificate In a good fra ternal order we have a foundation which wilt support ue or our family In times of sdvorslty. If you can do no more for your lodge than to attend the meetings, do that much. Tour presence • will be appre ciated end will encourage the officers of your lodge. No man can be truly happy without a protected home. ' In no way can thla be done so well, with the least eg. penes, as by the aid of the fraternities. Wear en emblematlo pin or button of your order and let the outside world know that you have confidence In the order you pay your money In. Every time you bring a friend Into your order you are throwing a life line around him that may eava him or his family from going Into'a whirlpool of distress. An Ideal lodge member Is one who attends all meetings, takes an Interest In the good and welfare of his lodge and Is not afraid lo talk up his order whenever a desirable man Is within hearing. M. D.
