Trains on the Georgia main line am
I running on schedule lima today, the
wrrek, mruHoard la The Herald of
yaotrrday. at Burkhead, having hern
rlearnd away.
On Ihr M aeon branch of (hr road
thing* are still a hit out of ordar. No
*1 re pars to Macon ran gel through, and
«o attempt to carry paaerngrra or
freight la being mad# Workni. nl are
busy repairing the washouts, but tbry
are many and It will be a week before
trains ran run on schedule time
On the Central trnffir ta still Inter
fered wfth and the getting to Savan
nah is out of Ibe question at presrnt.
On the Charleton and Western Car
olina (Port Royal division) trains are
getting through lo Yetnaaaee and a tel- j
• gram received from the officials of the
Plant system lafk night, stated that
their road would be In condition for
trains lo run over by today, so Savan
nah can be reached by tbla route.
Port Royal la still shut off from the
outside world, aa far oa railroad con
nection la concerned.
Things are being fixed on the Au
gusta Southern and soon passengers
will be able to go through to Sanders
vllle without transferring.
The main cause of the washouts. It I*
learned, Is the allowing the ditches
along the roadbed to clog up and so
when a heavy rain comes the water
rise# above the track and undermines
the rails and ties.
The wreck on the Georgia road yes
terday was found to (have been a hit
more serious than was at first learn
ed. Two tralnment were slightly hurt.
One waa brought to Augusta last night
and the other taken to hla home near
Buckhead.
Several freight cars were smashed
up In the wreck.
The track Is clear today.

RAISINQ A GREAT ROW.
Some Colored People Had at the Law
and Railroad.
Rome of the colored people are rais
ins a great row about the enforcement
of the state law on the street railroad
In Augusta.
The Union, one of the weekly colored
papers, advises the colored people to
not ride on the cars.
President Dyer informed the Union
that Ills company was forced by the
people through an act of the legislature
to pursue such a course. He said they
were getting along all right under the
old arrangement of allowing passen
gers to select their own seats, but when
the law was shoved nt him there was
no alternative for the road.
The Union says the new arrangement
Is “upon the compliant" of a few cltl
xens of the great and autocratic city
of Summerville’ 'and counsels:
' Purely as a matter of piLaetple the
colored people of this city should leave
the street cars entirely to the whites
until the hateful order is hauled down."

us that he hopes every one of the
communicants uho belong to this
church will be present and all others
who desire to see the condition of
Afro-Americans Improved, religiously
and physically. The Rev. John F.
Porter, in charge of this wotk. is a lib
eral minded man, without prejudice,
who is U9ing every energy to place this
church of St. Mary’s where it shall be
felt as a power for good among a race
who comprise fully one-half cT the pop

is not the work of one man. and suc
cess is impossible unless the people of
any church stand at the back of tbe

encouragement be needs. This church
has met many difficulties, but its op
portunity is now before it. If It will

the possibilities of expanding and
growing. I wantad to make the little
bukinfiM a big business.
I k new it coukt be dona.
Than I began to do It.
I began to ovarhaul machirrry and
stock and arrange them methodically.
I bought new machinery and more of
it as tima want on. I built shads and
then more sheds and from time to
time made additions to the big factory.
I bought stock largely and carefully
increased the volume of products on
hand, and constantly made the grade
better and more uniform.
Early I inaugurated an entirely new
system throughout the business to
give every reasonable facility for
manufacturing, storing, shipping and
accounting always with a view to re
ducing tha cost and perfecting the ser
vice.
I adopted rules which gave my
customers every assurance of the
fairest kind of treatment, and I made
an open offer to return their money in
every instance when they didn't get
everything just exactly as agreed.
What was the result of ell this?
Trade increased —slowly at first.
Then faster and still faster as the Com
pany became better and more favor
ably known.
My yearly business, measured in
dollars and cents, is now nearly twice
as targe as it was when I began.
It is practically about three times
as large in volume of products, as
prices are very much lower than they
were seven years ago.
I have spent over $23,000 In im
proving this plant during these seven
yea rSa
j have spent nearly $13,000 for
advertising during the same period.
I have made this business what it is-
