Justice Field, of the supreme
court, has taken the ground that
specializing in margins is nothing
less than gambling, and that con-
tracts entered into on account of
such speculatioas were void, and
could not be enforced bylaw. Judge
Field says that a contract for the
purchase and sale of stock, not own
ed, was void. A contract for the
mere colorado purchase and sale of
stocks, that broker should nomi-
nally, but not really, buy and sell,
and then settle the balance accord
ing to the rate Of the stock in the
market, was void, because it was not
real, but colorado. 1t was betting.

THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES. 1884.

THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES, 1884.
THE TIMES will enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosperous than ever be
fore in its histOry-mOre widely read and
quoted, more heartily commended, and more
tercely criticized, with more complete or
ganiZatiOn, and an able sSOff of contributors
and with the same independence and fearless
ness that has made it successful and powerful
in the past.
THE TIMES has no party to follow. no candi-
dates to advance, but will meet every issue, as
it has ever done, with consistent devotion to
the right, to honest government, and the pub
lie welfare. And while maintaining its posi-
ton as the leading journal of Philadelphia, it
will aim to be continually in the advance in all
that can add value to newspaper.
The value of newspaper is not in its size or
display, but in the intelligence and care, the
cOnclsenesS and freshness with which it is
from all parts Of the world, but all its dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed, in
order to give the complete news of the day in
the most concise ana attractive shape, ana with
II large variety of entertaining and inStruc-
tive reading. The best writers at home and
abroad are employed to enrich its columns
and TO make it a journal adapted both to the
busy man and to the leisure of the home cir
cle, welcome visitor to intelligent and honest
citizens of every political, religious and social
taste.
The WEEKLY TIMES is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers OF twenty years
ago. The day of those papers have gone by.
The telegraph and better local newspapers
everywhere, especially in the thriving centres
of rural population, have made the old weekly
that cling to their ancient usages have lost
their hold on our fOrward-mOving people: they
are but shadows of their former greatness. and
they have but a shadow Of their former power
Those papers have had their usefulness. but it
IS gone: and. with it, they are going, too. 1t
was not the fault of the papers: it was the i'm
prOvemenU of the country that brought about
the change. Men and women. wherever they
live. now require fresher news; and they re-
quirC more than news.
THE WEEKLY TIMES gathers off the types of
every passing week whatever has lasting in
terest TO the people at large, and sets it before
them in such generosity of paper and print as
would have aStOnlshed US all twenty yeOrs ago.
DAILY-IWelve cents q week. fifty cents a

SUNDAl-Four cents copy. s. q year.

were frozen to death and others were
partially frozen and had to be killed.
Hogs suffered less than cattle. Corn.

The GreenyilIe and Laurens Road.

GREESyILLE, January 6.-The execu-
tive committee of the Greenville and
Laurens Railroad Company held meet
ing here last night for the purpose of
opening the bids and awarding the con-
tracts for the grading of the sections of
the road now ready for the contractors
Stuart, Susong g. Co., of Tennessee, were
the lowest bidders, and were awarded the
contract for the whole of the eight and
half miles at the GreenviIIe end of the
line, for which bids were received. Tie
contractors are company Of wealthy
and experienced men, nhO will push the
work through with rapidity. They con-
tract to begin the work by February first
and to complete it by the first of July.
Their contract covers the most expensive
part of the line and will be executed at
a cost to the company of an average of
twelve cents a cubic yard for earth work,
including cuts and fills, which amount.
to about 5000 per mile. The railroad
company have the option of paying for
the work, if they desire, in Greenville
and Laurens County bonds, at ninety
cents on the dollar. This is very salts.
factory beginning for the building of the
road. Contracts for the grading of four
miles of the Laurens division will be
awarded on the 23d inst. The remaining
twenty-four miles of road is mostly on
an easy ridge, and it is the lightest kind
of work. This will be graded by con.
struction force under the superintendent
of Capt. J. w. Kirk, the chief engineer
of the road, who states that the whole
line will be graded and ready for equip
ment by July l. Many changes in the line
originally surveyed have been made by
Capt. Kirk, whose reputation as an adept
at finding easy grades and short lines is
unrivalled. The reduction in cost has
been so great that it is now contemplated
that the whole line of thirty.seven miles
will be graded and supplied with crossties
at cost of from 100000 to $4,000.
This does not look reasonable, but it will
be done, and the road will have on hand
cash surplus of something like $4,000
with which to extend its line toward
Asheville, which it is the determined
policy Of the Greenville and Laurens
people who own the road now about to
be builtto do. The people of Greenville
are especially wide awake on the subject
and at the right temper to push the road
through the mountains without delay.
The survey of line from here to Ashc-
vile passing through the upper section
of this county via Marietta will be made
by Capt. Kirk and his corps in March or
April. His knowledge of the route al
ready acquired warrants him in saying
that he can cross the mountains at a
grade of not more than seventy feet to
the mile, with one slight tunnel. Before
the end of the present year the road
from Laurens to this city will be in oper-
alton, and the people Of this section are
enjoying rational hopes of the ultimate
and early realization of the grand
scheme OF q railroad across the noun
tains and to the West-Mews and Cou.
rier.

The Atlanta Constitution saw

The Atlanta Constitution says
"Certain editorials and communications
in the State papers are supposed to indi-
cate the beginning of an organized attack
upon the Railroad Commission. 1t is
not thought that the railroads desire to
have the Commission abolished, but the
indications are that an effort will be made
to curtail its power"
"A new industry is announced for
Florida-the insurance of orange groves.
1t is also said that several American and
one British company are now prepared
to guarantee against frost and fire. A
grove owner at Fort Marion has for some
time past insured against fire. The
premium rates for this class of insurance
are said to be very low.
Several young men in the "Corner"
portion of the county and just across the
river over in Union are reported to be
making preparations for move to Texas.

seventy.fv and one hundred persons
