O. E. Fulghum," until recently president of the Richmond Business college Is now at Melbourne, Florida, and yesterday the Palladium was in receipt of the following letter from him, Telling of the beauty of the place and delightfulness of the climate. The letter follows: (The winter home of the Chautauqua of the tropics.) "Kissed by Sunshine, lulled by breezes Melbourne was named after delightful Melbourne, the capital of the British colony of Victoria in southeastern Australia, on the Yarra Yarra, and is situated on the west bank of the famous Indian river about 200 miles south of Jacksonville. It has about 400 resident inhabitants and from -400 to
500 winter tourists, three good hotels,
a newspaper, three general stores, drug store, bazaar, fish house, where
hundreds of barrels of fish are ship
ped north, three churches, boat shops.
band, turpentine still and an auditori
um for the Chautauqua. (Poor little
Richmond can not afford one.)
The Chautauqua is now in session,
(March 4-16) and is presenting a very
good program. The turpentine camp, owned by T,
J. Shane and company, comprises
about 15,000 acres, with 80,000 bores, last year increased to 175,000, this year 50 men, a commissary and SO houses for the workmen.. It Is very
interesting to see the process of wak
ing the turpentine and resin. Al wost all the northern states are repre
sented among the tourists, but there are more from Indiana than any other
state, Indianapolis, Greencastle, Sum-
mitsville, Fairmount, Union City, Cambridge City, Richmond and other
places being well represented.
The climate is Ideal, not hot, but
pleasant apd healthful. This , situation is considered the most healthful in the south, being high and dry.
The Indian river is only a river in
name, being a sound of salt water, ex
tending almost north and south along
140 miles of the eastern side of Florida. The northern end is some
miles north of Titusville, and has. a width of five miles. About two miles at this place.
It is separated from the ocean by a
strip of land varying in width from a
couple hundred yards to several miles. The orange groves begin near Titus
ville and extend southward. Everybody has heard of the famous Indian river oranges. I have had the pleas
ure of visiting some of these groves' and sampling them. They taste quite different from the most of the fruit in the north. The most of the oranges
shipped north are picked green and are not as rich as those ripening on the trees. Among the fruits found
here are oranges, bananas, grapefruit, lemons, tanguerine, peaches, mulberries, persimmons, guava grapes
dates, pineapples, etc. All kinds of
vegetables are grown here. We made our garden the first of January. It is .great sport to go fishing and
hunting, and most of the tourists
spend their time on the river and
creeks. The river is literally covered with ducks. As one gentleman said:
The Northern people would consider
him wild if he should tell them that he has seen a million at one sight,
but it is not uncommon to see the
river black with them. We find
trout, mullet sheephead, bass, whiting ovsters. etc.. in abundance. Also al-
gators, deer, rattlesnakes, wild cats,
and some bear. A few fleas, but not
many mosquitos in Melbourne. In
this section we find a very few cattle, a few "dried beef on foot," and "razorback hogs." The tourists spend considerable time on the ocean beach
bathing, fishing, and hunting shells. While it is very pleasant to live in the
'Sunny South," there is no place like
home and as the northern springtime
is approaching, we are beginning to count the days when we shall pack our trunks for old Richmond. O. E. FULGHUM.

which has been held back all winter, owing to the lack of transportation accommodations. The local division freight men say that the work of handling the immense amount of grain will probably stop operations on other lines of freight, for at least a time. Some of the roads which are short on grain cars are hauling corn and other cereals In furniture cars. It was said yesterday in the Richmond offices that some roads had even resorted to the use of refrigerator cars to handle the grain. Local elevator men say that they are not handicapped by the lack of cars, but other elevators along the Richmond division are hindered in their shipments to a greater or less extent. 4 MORE SEVERE THAN IN 1901. Arthur Hale, chairman of the car efficiency committee of the American Railway association, is authority for the statement that the present car shortage is more general and more
severe than that of 1901, and worse than any other the railroads have ever experienced. Railroad officials all over the country now admit that the reports sent
out recently regarding the car short
age were false and that the situation
is really becoming worse than instead of better. Mr. Hale has issued a long statement regarding the car situation
in which he states his belief that the railroads will add another 250,000 cars to their equipment this year in addition to the cars that were ordered some months ago and which have as
yet not been delivered.
Mr. Hale says that the shortage had
been foreseen by all railroads, and
they ordered and obtained more cars in 1906 than they ever bought in any one year before. The total number of
cars built for the railroads was more than 250,000. This was an addition to
the existing equipment of 12 or 15 per cent. Mr. Hale calls the attention of railroad officials and shippers all over the country to the car situation, which is said to be serious, and urges them to do everything possible to
bring about the desired improvement.
He .recalls . the fact that conditions have been improved somewhat by the increase per diem, car 'service shortage. COMPLAINT AS TO TIME TABLES. When the railroads of the country several months ago decided to do
away with publishing time tables In the newspapers, a general, howl from the. public went up against the move, as it has long been established that the newspapers are the best places to go when In search of such information. A Richmond man, who, by the way, has great use for time tables, said yesterday that he, as well as the general public, miss the time tables in newspapers very much, and since they were abolished a goodly supply of the miniature information bureaus had to be kept on hand, which is both a nuisance and a trouble brewer. The cry for the publishing of railway time tables in the newspapers is going the rounds of the several states where- Ct-,v have been withdrawn. EAST IS UNSETTLED.
When one closely follows the "didos" cut by the employes of the railroads in the east, and then com-! pares them with the favorable actions! of the employes of the west, the I
question naturally arises in one's mind, why are the trainmen of the east always dissatisfied with existing conditions? When -asked as to the reason, a local official said that he could not ac-
Pennsylvania offices.
STILL MORE PASSES TO GO. At the meeting of the members of the Central Passenger association which closed yesterday in Chicago the means of combatting the widespread two cent rate laws in the western states, was discussed thoroughly. According to a statement of a local official who was in Chicago attending the meeting, all passes and reduced transportation will be cut off in order that the railroads may retrench in the passenger business.

A Gordon, superintendent of the Richmond Street and Interurban rail
way company, was in Indianapolis yesterday conferring with traction officials, In regard to business connected with the management of the traction interests in this city. G. A. Dormburg, chief lineman for the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, was in the city Friday night conferring with M. J. L'agen, chief lineman for the Indianapolis and Cincinnati divisions. T. L. Britton, well known among local railroad men, has been appointed to the position of freight and ticket agent at Kouts. Ind., taking the place of P. H. Halligan, resigned. C D. Kinney, traveling solicitor for the C I. & E. railroad, with headquarters at Muncie, was in the city yesterday looking after the interests of his road. ' . The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Pennsylvania lines will
be held in Pittsburg, April 9. D. G. Edwards, vice president in charge of the traction lines in Indiana and Ohio, is now traversing the lines controlled by the syndicate, and it is said that his visit has direct connection with the lengthening of several of the lines. The Pennsylvania railroad last year received an average of 2.01 cents a mile for every passenger carried. President McCrea of the Pennsylvania, has inaugurated his cleaning up policy. He has discharged one man who held a job as ticket agent, but employed an underling to do the work.
The man also held considerable prop
erty along the lines of the Pennsylva
nia. The Pennsylvania has cancelled an
order for 5,000 new freight cars, ow
ing to the stringency of the money market, and will secure additional cars under lease from private companies, to properly care for the rapidly increasing freight business. The crop of railroad legislation has been the greatest this year than ever before. 712 railroad bills have been presented to state legislatures, while 49 were considered in the national house of representatives. Railroads are finding that by placing fine passenger equipment on the roads, they are making money by doing so, as the general business has picked up to such an extent as to
make such profitable.
At the meeting of the stockholders
of the Pittsburg. Youngstown and
Ashtabula rrilroad company, James McCrea, now president of the Penn
sylvania Railroad company, resigned as president of that smaller road. Joseph Wood was elected president and J. J. Turner, now second vice president of the Pennsylvania, was elected vice president of the P. Y. & A., to succeed Mr. Wood.

"A. M. I. S." Has More to Say About the Observance of the Sabbath Day A Liberal View.
It was with all reverence and love for the Lord's own Sabbath Day that I took up my pen against Sunday restriction. The Sabbath to which the Lord placed his signature as his especial and hallowed day the Bible plainly states is the seventh. If we read and take the Bible as a
guide, not allowing our mental vision to become obscured by tradition, we will find that in no place has the seventh day. Sabbath been abrogated. The command reads thus: "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it Holy The Beventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord, thy God for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day, wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed It." Not thus: "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it Holy for In six days the Ixjrd made heaven and earth and rested the first day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed It." The Christian world agrees that Christ was the creator of all things, being the word by whom all things were made; (John 1:1-3.) That He was there for the One who made the Sabbath for man in the beginning. Y He being Lord of the Sabbath could have changed it, or wipe! it out entirely if He bad so wished. With him ends forever the right to meddle with it.

Dear Squadmen and Fellow Caitains. - The last reports indicate that two more men if not three have screed to duplicate Mr. Henley's $2,5fn) making $10,000. . You will find enclosed some tickets that are to be placed by you tomorrow and Sunday In the hands of men, business men and others who should be interested in contributing to the Y. M. C. A. Every Y. M. C. A. captain and squadman is to enjoy the show of pictures. They will reveal the Y. M. C. A. to us as we never dreamed. It is 6a id after sitting before these stereopticon pictures through the evening all men become enthusiastic advocates. An education of this kind will help the men who are expected to give and also the solicitors. If the time was not fo short, this Information would reach you through your captains. We are exceedingly anxious to educate the people to know what a modern Y. M. C. A. does for the boys and men of a community. Nowls our chance. We have; the state secretary to come with, his excellent collection of slides. It . remains,, for
fas. to get the men of Richmond out
to see them. The tickets are one of the best means in accomplishing this if proprly distributed. We can do this better than to trurl It to
change it, because a clear distinction is made by each of them between tho seventh day and the first day
of the week; and the recognition they give to the seventh day as the Sabbath, may be readily discovered by looking into the Bible. Here is one instance in point Luke 23:00-54-56. "And that day was the preparation and the Sabbath drew on. And the women also which came with Him from Galilee, followed after and beheld the sepulcher and how His body was laid;
and they returned and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the Sabbath day, according' to the commandment. Now the first day of the week very early in the morning they came to tire sepulcher, bringing spices which they had prepared; and certain others with them." By keeping the fir6t day as Sabbath instead of the seventh you make
void the part of the command which
says "The seventh day Is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God." If a parent commands a child to perform a task on a certain day and the child should without Just cause, neglect the duty on that day and perform It on another, would this show proper respect for the parent? And would the par ent approve such conduct?
