My Dear Sir: l take pleasure In
acknowledging your even date here
with. In which you call m.v attention to
the law requiring street railway rom
paulea to furnlah separate transporta
tion for white people anil negro.w. In
reply 1 will alate that l kuow of no
•Belt law on the statute books, and will
thank you to point the same out to tne.
There la a law on the eiatute books
which permits «i« to »eqt passengers,
ell her while or colored, and thnt ia the
only law I have any knowledge of.
I am yours, very respectfully.
D. B. Dyer,
President.
Col D It Dyer, President. Dear Sir:
In response to your favor of the 2t>th.
I herewith hand you extracts from the
Code of OtfOrgla. You will please
note that the law require* the con
ductors to separate the races (and UOt
allows, aa in your favor referred to).
In view of the fact lhal yon have such
heavy travel on ihc Hill line now. It
would lie no hardship for you to run
separate ears for whites and colored,
but In any event we shall expect you
to obey the law aa to the separation of
them. We shall thank you to assign
the whites to the front of (he open
Cara and the negroes to the rear,
which request ive are sure we will con
sider reasonable for obvious reasons.
Very respectfully.
T. 1. Hickman.
4 \ Chro. Police Com.. V. S.
Col. Dyer, when seen by a reporter,
laid that to pul a trailer on behind
rach Summerville car was simply out
of ibe question, but that the matter
could be easily solved In the following
way. vix.:
While a trailer could not be hauled
up the Summerville grade. It could be
done on the Monte Sano line, and it
was his intenlion lo address a note to
day to Lt. Col. Withrow. Col. Jones be
ing absent from camp, ns commanding
officer of tbe regiment., suggesting that
an order be issued, instructing the
soldiers when coming to town, to use
the Monte Sano line, where each car
would have a tracer for their and
transportation.
Thus the question would be solved,
and the additional disUjrtce as between
the Summerville aipt Monte Sano
lines would be trifling, possibly a
quarter of a mile*lurther.

THE SENIOR OFFICER.
tlood Story of a Tenth Regiment Sen
try Who Knew All About It.
A good story is going the rounds this
morning as follows:
Several of the officers „f t f, e tenth
regiment spent Sunday afternoon in
town, and after supper donned their
mackintoshes and splashed their way
through the mud and rain back to
camp.
Arriving at the line the voice of a
negro sentry sung out—
“ Halt! Who goes iherp?"
"Officers of the regiment," was th#
response.
"Advance, officers ob de reg'mont,
and gib do password."
One of the group of captain gave the
word, and they passed on to their tents
with the exception of the spokesman,
who was, possibly. In the mood for giv
ing Instructions, and consequently said
to the sentry—
"Do you know what you should have
said when we renlled that wo were of
ficers of the regiment?”
"No, »nh, I don't."
"W.*l! you should have said. ‘Ad
vance. Senior Officer, and give the pass
word.' "
"All right, sah. I'll know da next
time.”
The captain thought he wouli} carry
the lesson a little farther, so he said
_“I>o you know What I meant by Se
nior Officer?"
Like a shot from his own gun came
the response—" Why, oh course, I does,
captain, yer meant t seen yet fust.”
