MRS. TICE ENTERTAINS
FOR MRS. GIBSON.
Mrs Gibson of Athens, a sister of
Mrs. Dwight Deas of this city, was
complimented yesterday afternoon by
Mrs. J. J. N. Tice with a pond party
at l-ankey’s. After a refreshing swim
in the cool pond the guests enjoyed
refreshments.
—The improvement in the condi
tion of Mrs. Josiah Miller, who is at

sincere pleasure.
—Mrs. E. D. Beman entertained a

ner today, in compliment to her guest,

FOR NEGRO FIREMEN
(Continued from page one.)
as 7oox-out ana as nagmen. But lie
maintained that the negro can dis
charge these duties as well as the
white fireman. He said that the ne
gro fireman is, as a rule, more ex
perienced than the white fireman by
reason of the fact that he remains in
the position of fireman, while the
white man is open to promotion.
He insisted that the negro fireman
is always disciplined as strongly as
the white.
' The admission was made that the
white firemen receive 33 1-3 per cent
more in pay than does the negro.
“Then why doesn’t the road hive all
negro firemen, if they are as compe
tent and can be got more cheaply
than white firemen?” asked Attorney
Arnold.
WHITE MEN GET
MORE WAGES.
The witness replied indirectly that
white firemen are kept from which
to recruit engineers.
“Do you think that the negro owuld
make a safe and competent en
gineer?’’ asked Congressman Hard
wick, of the hoard of arbitration.
“1 'do not," said the wdtness.
“Why?’’ asked Mr. Hardwick.
“Because of lack of intelligence,”
said the winess.
“Then can he make a good fire
man?”
“He can. There is a limit to the
demands on a fireman."
O. N. Grady, superitendent as fire
man on the Georgia Southern and
Florida road, was next called as wit
ness. He said that he has found ne
gro firemen on his road as compe
tent as white firemen.
“Our seniority rule,” he said, “is
based on ability. It is the able man
who ge*s the best run.”
W. W. Foreacre, general superinten
dent of the Eastern divison of the
Southern road, was called to the
stand. He said that 40 per cent of
the firemen on the eastern division of
the Southern road are negroes.
“The negro firemen are satisfac
tory," he said. “We consider those
w-e keep as competent. If we didn’t
we wouldn't keep them.”
Replying to questions from counsel
of the road, he said that white fire
men on the Southern road are always
considered as being in training for
engineers’ positions.
EXPECT MORE
OF WHITE MEN.
The witness was asked if a differ

cepted a position and is at work with

—Mr. Jack Cranston is in the city.
The closing of the colleges brings

those who have returned home are

ence is not made in the treatment of
white and negro firemen. He said
that more is required of the white
than the negro firemen, because the
former is looked upon as a future en
gineer.
W. K. Smith, general superintend
ent of motive power on the Atlantic
Coast Line next testified. His tes
timony was that 76 per cent of the
firemen on the Atlantic Coast Line
are negroes.
“We consider these negro firemen
as competent,” he said, “or we would
not retain them. "We maintain a
very fast and exacting schedule and
the fact that the firemen on our road
do satisfactory work, shows that they
are skilled and competent.”
Further questioning of Mr. Smith
was waived to permit him to leave
the city; and at 4:15 o’clock the hear
ing adjourned until 9:30 o’olock Fri
day morning.
So far as introducing testimony is
concerned, the firemen rested their
case at 11 o’clock Thursday morning
in the hearing before the arbitration
hoard of three which is to decide the
differences of the Order of Locomo
tive Enginemen and Firemen and the
Georgia road. The road put its first
witness upon the stand at the begin
ning of the afternoon session, which
was opened at 2 o'clock. If the cross
examination is not too lengthy it will
have completed its testimony before
the close of the afternoon. It is be
lieved that in any event it will have
rested its case by the end of the morn
ing session on Friday. It Is prob
able that by Friday evening argu
ment and testimony wIM have been
concluded ar.d the hoard will have
gone into executive session to make
its decision.
The firemen introduced about forty
witnesses, the major portion of whom
are firemen and engineers on the
Georgia road. The burden of their
estimony was that the negro is in
competent as a fireman. Many said
that it is unsafe for him to be ptit
to use as fireman. The endeavor of
counsel for the firemen has been to
draw out the fact that the negro,
through unreliability and lack of in
telligence and training, is a menace
to public safety when used at the
employment of fireman, and that for
that reason should he eliminated
from such employment.
They have stressed the fact that
the position of fireman is important
and that its Importance on the Geor
gia road is underrated. Their con
tention as shown in their testimony is
that the fireman’s duties go further
than merely shoveling coal. Part of
SiDfIISCHOOLFOR
CHINESE TO Si!
Officers and Teachers Deny
Statements That it is to
he Discontinued. Has
Done Much Good.
It is officially denied the local
Chinese Sunday school is to be dis
continued, as was stated recently in
The Herald. Mrs. A. Smith Irvine,
who is the superintendent, though at
present Incapacitated through a re
cently received injury in an automo
bile accident, states that she is deep
ly displeased at such statement and
that it is not founded on fact.
Mrs. Irvine says that there has nev
er at any time been anything in con
nection with the noble work done by
devoted Christian ladies and gentle
men in Augusta in behalf of the Chi
nese that has in any way indicated
that the work should be discontinued
and that there is nothing now. That
while the numbers of Chinese schol
ars is small at present, this is due
to the season of the year and the
school is progressing in a manner sat
isfactory to all concerned. She de
fends the Chinese who have attended
here and says they have never shown
any attitude except an earnest de
sire to learn the truths of Christianity.
Any aspersion cast upon them is un
warranted by the facts.
The Chinese evangelical work here
has been practised for nearly a quar
ter of a century and has been the
model upon which all othei-H in the
South today are based It has done
a good work in behalf of the Chi
nese and its interdenominational plan,
first advocated by Mrs. Irvine herself,
has latterly been adopted as the best
procedure by the workers in China.
The ladies of the Sunday school
deny most emphatically that the insti
tution is to be discontinued and say
that, recent events and the consequent
outcry can have no effect locally, be
cause entirely different conditions ob
tain here than in New York and oth
er places. Much feeling is expressed
at the statements made recently to a
Herald reporter and their correctness
is absolutely denied by Mrs. Irvine
and other teachers among the Chi
nese.
