The Railroad Combination.
The combination entered into by tia
Richmond and Danville corporation at d
the Atlantic Coast Line seems to be ex
citing a good deil .of interest ab nt Acg
usta and other cvorhern points. Ite
Augusta Evening News says:
'These two great rival iin s wi 1 now
be controlled by the same officers, and
run schedules to equalize the rant budi-
U688 from and to the North in the p sseu
ger and freight departments "
"This '8 one of the largest and mott
powerful railroad combinations of the
day,' and controls ail the land avenues
from the North through this section.
What portion of the road will be made
trut k. lines or the regular through line is
not known, but for the Florida travel
Doth routes tnrough Auunta and the
Ooast Line thn-ugh Charleston and ba
vannah will be principally used."
We understand from a pretty reliable
source lhat the change in the manage
ment ot the freight and ptsaenger de
partment of this new combination gots
into effect about the lOlh'or 15ih of this
month, whereby jCol. A. Pope, who has
been the General Freight and Passenger
Agent of the Atlantic Coast Lice, as
sumes entire control of the passenger de
partmeht of the Richmond, and Danville
Railroad as well as the passenger business
of the Coast Line, at the same time re
linquishing the freight department
of the Atlantic Ooast Line to Mr. So
Haas, General Freignt Agent of the
Richmond and Danville R R. Thib
will give, both of these gentlemen greater
territory in their particular department
than they have ever enjoyed before. Col.
Pope, by Jiis excellent business qualities,
untiring energy and indefatigable and
persistent labor has developed an im
mense business, both in freight and pas
seuger traffio,on the Coast Line, hitherto
unknown to thia route, and he is regarded
as one of the most competent and capa
ble officeis, in his t articular department,
to be fouud' anywhere from Maine to
Texas.
Mr. Hass, the successor of Col Pope,
ii well ktiown to our citizans by a resi
dence of several years in Wilmington
shortly a'ter the war wh r at one time he
did tho'largest wholesale and commission
business that was done by any one, firm,
perhaps, in this city or in any other city
lu the State. Of Mr. Haas' business qual
ities therefore it is useless for m to
speak, except to remark that' after an
experience of only about ten years
iu the railroad business his promotion has
been unprecedented. That he is a ger
tlemau of excellent parts, quick perception
and thorough business capacity, his ad
vancement to the very responsible position
which be has been called to occupy by the
Urge capitalists and tusiuess men who
torm the syndicate oi the new combina
tion is the best evidence iu the world.
Courteous iuliis bearing towards ail with
whom he has intercourse, either iu busi
ness or otherwise, Mr. Haas never fails
to make friends wherever he goes. That
he is as thorough a railroad official as any
one of his competitors in the freighting
business, -no one wbo ever encounters Mr.
Haas in a business way will be likely to
doubt.
We trust that Mr. Haas and Col. Poe
will both be pleased with their chants
and happy in their new fields of labor.

An alarm of fire at midnight is a
startling thme. but not half so startling
to many whojiear it as would be the
sudden knowledge of their own dangeronB
pnysual condition. Thousands of thou
sands are hurrying tp their graves be
cause they are carelessly indiffereut to
the insidious inmad3 of disease and the
means of cure. It Is the mission of H. U
Warner & Co., with their Safe Kindey
and Liver Cure, to arouse men to a sense
f their danger and then cure them.
