Road Pronounced Phys ically Perfect. j Atlanta Journal, 11th inat. | The Atlanta and West Point railroad j is a good one. If there be any who doubt as to the truth of this assertion, all that is nec essary to convince them that the road is about as near perfect as it is possible for the work of human hands to be is to take a trip over the line and gain first hand knowledge of the fact. Friday afternoon the annual inspec tion of the road, made by the officials and section foremen, was completed over that section of the main line be tween this city and West Point, the inspecting party reaching the Terminal station at 2:3d o’clock. Saturday the inspection will cover the line to Montgomery, after which the tour will be over for another 12- month. When the train arrived in At lanta Friday afternoon a Journal re porter was on hand to interview the j leaders of the party, and found them i in their special car. The railroad men | received the searcher for news with courteous cordiality, and insisted upon ! his sharing the bounteous dinner that they were discussing. In the car were O. T. Nelson, gener al road master; T. 0. Walsh, master mechanic; A. Moritz, train master; J. F. Andrews, chief train dispatcher, and J. C. Williams, supervisor. Mr. Nelson, the genial road master, acted as spokesman for the ollicial.s, and described in detail what the trip was for, and how it was conducted. It appears that the officers of the road, in an elfort primarily to raise the road to the highest possible state of perfec tion, inaugurated a scheme of competi tive examination, every phase of the work of the men having the operation and maintenance of the line in charge counting for them in the contest. The plan as perfected resolved itself into an annual inspection tour of the entire system, and every section fore man makes the entire trip. There are no men more critical or searching in their observation of the work of others than are section foremen, and they know a good railroad when they see it and ride over it. Blank forms are given to each fore man, and these forms have spaces pro vided whereon the percentage of per fection of every dpartment of the road work can be scored. All the foremen except the one upon whose section the marking is to he made score against each section, the standard of percent- tion being rated at 10. In this graduation the foremen score on line and surface, depot grounds, frogs and switching, ditching and hank ing right-of-way, spiking, spacing of ties, trestles and bridges, section houses, general appearance, rail joints, road crossings, water tanks, and all the other things that enter into the to tal of railroad maintenance and con struction. After the entire trip is completed, Mr. Nelson, the road master, takes up these average sheets and goes over them carefully. In addition, he consid ers all things that can possibly score against each section, such as defects and accidents during the year, the cost of maintenance, and all other things properly chargeable to the section. It will be readily seen that Mr. Nelson, having all the data at hand, can make a just and accurate judgment of the actual advancement that each section has made. He bases his decisions not only upon the actual condition of the section, but upon the work that has been required to raise it to perfection and keep it there, as well as upon the practical efficiency thereof. In order to stimulate the interest of the foremen in the work, prizes are awarded annually, the first being $120 in gold for the section showing the best average, and the second $60 in silver for the next best. The competition among the foremen is keen, and the result has been that the officials stated Friday that the road was as nearly perfect as a railroad could be. After the run Friday the party re turned to West Point, where they were 16dged at the A. & W. I\ hotel there, built and owned by the road, and oper ated under lease. The officials pro nounce this hostelry to be one of the best in the State, and are very proud of it. JAfter reaching Montgomery Satur day afternoon the tour of inspection disbanded amid expressions of mutual esteem from all who made the trip. "There is a feature of the railroad life of the Atlanta and West Point road,” said one of the officers, “that is unique and that hinds us closer to our operatives than anything else. This is the Santa Claus train that we run on our December pay-day every year. This will he the second yeur that this train has been run. ”A commissary car makes the trip of the entire system with the jiay-car, arid little gifts are distributed to the children all along the line. All the foremen and employees are notified in advance to have not only their own children at the station, hut to bring any other little folk that might ap preciate Christmas remembrancers. "The little fellows have learned to look for Santa Claus train, and this year there have already been inquiries as to whether or riot it will come. There is a man dressed as Santa, and eveything we can do to make the chil dren happy is done. The idea origina ted with Mr. Wickersham, president of the system, and is very popular.” More Danville Proof.

You cannot he over-careful in the se lection of medicine for children. Only the very gentlest bowel medicine should ever he given, except in emergency cases, firdinary pills, cathartics and purgatives are apt to do more harm than good. They cause griping, nausea and other distressing after-effects that are frequently health-destroying and a ife-lasting annoyance. We personally recommend and guar antee Rexall Orderlies as the safest and most dependable remedy for constipa tion and associate bowel disorders. We have such an absolute faith in the vir tues of this remedy that we sell it on our guarantee of money back in every instance where it fails to give entire satisfaction, and we urge all in need of such medicine to try it at our risk.

Rexall Orderlies are eaten like candy. They are particularly prompt and agree able in action, may be taken at any time, day or night; do not cause diar rhoea, nausea, griping, excessive loose ness or other undesirable effects. They have a very natural action upon the glands and organs with which they come in contact, act as a positive and regula tive tonic upon the relaxed muscular coat of the bowel and its dry mucous lining; remove irritation, overcome weakness, tone and strengthen the nerves and muscles, and restore the bowelp and associate organs to more vigorous and healthy activity. Rexall Orderlies completely relieve constipation, except when of a surgical character. They also overcome the ne cessity of constantly taking laxatives to keep the bowels in normal condition.
