4 RAILROADS IN POLITICS Circular Issued by Achison, Topeka and Santa Fe Road Much Discussed Here. CENTRAL TAKES NO ACTION. Officials Say that They Have Never Found it Necessary to Issue a Circular to Their Men. The circular letter recently issued by the j Atchison, Topeka and Sante he Railroad, dealing with politics in relation to its em- f ployiha- at trailed considerable attention | in railroad circles throughout the country. | The 'Atchison, Topeka and Sante Fe issued originally a notice forbid.ling Us employes to take any part in politics. This caused a sensation, and to show that lu orders had been misinterpreted a second circular was issued by the railroad Jn which it said: "It in not the intention to restrict the exercise of individual rights, and there ht no Objection to tin free and full expression of opinion nor to membership in political organizations. "It ie expected that every officer or em ploy. will act a- his reason may dictate in any public niatt r; but the principle does not require .ie acceptance of places of profit or honor, and thu neglect of the company's business on suvb accounts will not be tolerated. It will not be difficult for any officer or employe to properly draw the line between aia duties to tihe company and to his coun try; he will constantly tear in mind that bin views upon every subject and his fair expression at. the polls, the primaries, or elsewhere, are matters with which the eaompany hie. not ting whatever to do; but the company ugh fully demands that no officer or employe .-hall accept any public office, or take part In the affairs of polit ical organization: as will ehue.r interfere with the perform.ui. c of his particular du ties to the company, or tend to place the •company in the false position ol apearing to tie itself engaged in polities. Inquiry at the offices or the railroad sys tems show that they have never issued any instructions or order* relative to the part their employes mav or may not take in politics. In several campaigns, it will be remein ber.sl, railroad employes, organized as rail road clubs, in the interest of one or another candidate for office. No objection was made to the men tak ing as active a part in politics as they might desire, some of them were officers in political organizations or ran for office. The only way in which any cognizance has been taken of jroliti. , by the railroads here Jhw been an order that polities must not be disemsed in the shops or when the men are at wcrk. that being done to prevent any in terruption of wor k by personal wranglkigs. "The circular of the Atchison, Topeka and Suite Fe Itpfelroad is to my mind a very good one." said an officer of the Central. ‘‘There is nothing in it that any one can object to. and it voices what every one charged with the management of a railroad must consider as eminently proper advice to give employes.” The formal transit r of the stock of the Boyden Air Brake Company to the West inghouse Air Brake Company, which pur chased it for $900.000, will take place short ly Tht Westinghou -o company will issue 3,000 shares of new .stock to pay for the purchase of the Boyden patent. Since the beginning of the current month trail ic on the W* .sietii roads has been steadily declining. Western farmers are too busy harvesting their wheat crop to make any shipments . It is not expected that the shipments will be heavy again until about September 1. , President Fish, of the Illinois Central, believes that 'the stamp tax on bills of lad ing will yield a revenue of $2,000,000 for the government.

Postmasters Are Now Warned About Anoth er Knotty Point. The qUeslion that seems to be agitating the minds of the postmasters throughout the country just now is whether or not checks drawn on their banks of deposit for the payment of 'the salaries of their employes are subject to the special stamp act. in a question raised by the postmaster of Brooklyn, 'N. Y., as to whether the liecks ou his bank of deposit, with which he pays his employes their salaries, are subject to tax under Schedule A of the stamp act of June 13, the commis sioner of revenue, N. B. Scott, has made the ruling 'that under said act a stamp must be affixed to each of these checks, The following instructions have been received here: “Checks drawn by a United States mar shal ,or any other disbursing officer, against funds standing to their official credit in a United States depository, do not require sitamps.” Besides this Postmaster Hertz has the following instructions from the first as sistant postmaster general in relation to the use of stamps: “Drafts or checks used for public business, which show that they are drawn by a postmaster in favor of a postmaster, or endorsed by a postmaster in his official capacity, do not require a revt nue stamp, being exempt from tax.” O-A.JSTOTT.X.A..

Manager Horne has adopted a new pol icy in connection with the house for the season. It insures nothing but good at tractions. “I will not have as many attractions as I have had in past seasons,” said Mr. Horne this morning, ‘‘but those that I do book will all be first-class. I will run no risks. The patrons of the house may rest assured that the attractions are good and that they are not asked to pay for any thing not well worth the money. It will be seen from .those already booked what the character of the attractions is. “No I will book no popular price shows, nor need there be any fear that those for which regular prices are charged are worth any less money than is asked for them. “The house will be nun strictly as a first class theatre allowing no second-class at tractions. I believe that in this way the public will give Che 'house better patron age.” The combination of Louis James, Mme. Rhea and Frederick Warde, which was re cently effected by Managers Wagenhalls & Kemper, and exploited as the “great star triumvirate,” has undergone an important change in its personnel, namely, the with drawal of Mme. Rhea on account of serious illness, which will necessitate her perma nent retirement from the stage. The “star triumvirate” will, however, be a reality’— as Wagenhals & Kemper immediately en gaged Kathryn Kidder, of “Sans Gene” fame and the triumvirate will now be known as the James-Kidder-Warde com bination. Miss Kidder • will play “Lady Teazle” in a “School of Scandal,” “Lady Macbeth,” “Ophelia,” “Desdemona,’’ “Portia,” etc. The combination is re garded assbeing materially strengthened by the substitution of Miss Kidder. Com plete scenic productions for each play will be provided, and the best legitimate com pany obtainable will suport the three stars. The absolute cleanliness and wholesome ness of Klaw & Erlanger’s “Jack and the Beanstalk” Company is what has made that extravaganza such a marvellous suc cess.

The Soldiers’ Relief Association held an enthusiastic meeting in .the Library par lor yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Mallory Taylor presiding. The minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted. The clothing committee reported its business satisfactorily despatched within the given time. The ladies of the asso ciation wish to return sincere thanks to the great number of ladies who gave such prompt and ready assistance in this work There were more offers of aid than there were bandages required. Two ladies, with their own hands, made ninety bandages and were quite willing to make more had there been more to make. The ladies of the association are grateful to find that they have the co-operation of the entire community and are deeply grateful there for. The main business of yesterday’s meet ings was >the discussion of hospital needs at Camp Price and arrangements 'to make all necessary arrangements for the sick soldiers in the home camp. Sheets and pillow cases, towels, etc., will be furnished the hospital ward as rapidly as they can be purchased and made. Eggs, butter, sweet and buttermilk and ice are grea'tly needed in the hospital and any kindly dis posed person whether a member of the as sociation or not wsho may send such con tributions to Camp Price will win the un dying gratitude of the entire regiment. There was a gratifying addition to the membership list, reported iby the member ship committee. In this connection it is perhaps as well .to state that in order to unite with the association it is not neces sary to attend the meetings. Any one can become a member by sending his or hqr name to the treasurer, Mrs. Ross White accompanied by a payment of dues for any length of time desired. The dues are 25 cents per month. Mrs. Barbery at the Library, has also been given authority to receive membership dues and names of new members. There are 160 First regiment men sick at Chickamauga. These, with the Camp Price sick, will give the association a great deal to work for. and the ladies urgently ask the co-operation of the citizens of Macon. Wonderful bargains for today and Monday.

Playa, July 17. —The commissioners ap pointed by Shafter and Toral to arrange the details of surrender of the Spanish forces in eastern Cuba, are still hard at work. Though the understanding was that no concessions were to be granted except allowing the. officers to retain their side arms, the Spanish commissioners have been disputing and raising many objections to the proposed arrangements. The Spanish officers wish to have their men march out of the trenches with their arms, which they also insist are to be boxed up and shipped , back to Spain with the prisoners. This, of course, has been refused. There is also much argument over the other details of sufrender. The total number of Spanish troops in volved in the surrender, it is said, wall run close up to 25,00, of which about 12,000 are behind the entrenchments at Santiago. SPECIAL SUNDAY’ SCHOOL SERVICE. Specially in-teresting exercises have been arranged for Centenary Sunday school to morrow. The services will be under the special direction of Mr. C. B.

(Continued from page 1.) | that Mr. Reid had objected to the appoint ment of a committee of five to select a committee, and yet had constituted himself a committee of one to force an ex-commit tee down the throats of the meeting. (Mr. Guerry moved as a substitute that the Chair declare the nominations open and that the meeting proceed to select a com mittee. Mr. Guerry’s motion was carried almost unanimously. To ts.lt*ct by Primary Hereafter. Before the nominations were commenced Mr. Buford Davis offered the following resolution, which was passed: Resolved, 1. That successors to executive committee this day appointed, shall be elected by a general primary to be held in 1900 at the same time and place as the primaries that may be held for nomina tion of a governor and state house officers. 2. That there being no emolument at tached to the position the candidates for said committee shall not be assessed any sum whatever as a prerequisite to having their names placed upon the ticket to be voted for at said primary. I' Preve.it SintrJe-Shotfingr. Mr. Washington Dessau offered the fol lowing resolution, the object of which was to prevent single shotting in elections in tills county in tne future: Resolved, by the Democratic party of Bibb county, in convention assembled: That hereafter in all primary elections which may be held in this county for the nomination of candidates for members of the house of representatives of the general assembly of Georgia, to be voted for in agy general state election, no ballot cast at such primary election shall be counted by the managers of the election, or considered or counted by the Democratic executive committee in the consolidation of the vote, unless such ballot shall have written or printed upon it three names running in such primary election. Resolved. That the Democratic executive committee of Bibb county is authorized and directed to carry this resolution into full effect, and is hereby clot'her with the power to do so. The resolution met with opposition from nearly every part of the house. Those who spoke in opposition was Hon. J. H. IHall, who said that he himself owed his election to the men who voted for only one candidate. Mr. J. L. Hardeman also opposed the resolution and Mr. Guerry moved to lay it on the table. 'Mr. Guerry’s motion passed. Mr. S. A. Reid then arose to nominate the old executive committee. Mr. Guerry followed with another ticket, and as he did so Captain Hodges rose to a point of order, but the point was over ruled by the chair, and Mr. Guerry put the following ticket in nomination: City—H. L. Barfield, L. J. Kilbourn, C. T. King, J. H. B. Wilder, W. A. Goodyear, T. E. Ryals, Sam Mayer, W. T. Shinhol eeT - - A East Macon —Ben L. Jones. Vineville —<B. M. Davis. Howard —Tom W. Loyless.

On motion of Mr. Bayne the ticket put in nomination by Mr. Guerry was elected by acclamation. A motion by Major J. L. Hardeman that the committee select 'its own chairman was passed unanimously and the meeting ad journed. The New Committee. The new executive committee met in the court room a few moments later for tem porary organization. Nine members were present. Mr. B. M. Davis was elected tem porary chairman of the committee, and Mr. Tom W. Loyless was elected temporary secretary.
