toCeClal 10 the EfIESS..
Augusta, May 30.-Among the cases ar
gued before the Law Court this afternoon
was one of interest to the travellers who
use mileage tickets 1t will, perhaps, be
remembered that some time ago Harvey
D. Eaton, ESQ.,, a Waterville lawyer,
brought suit against Conductor Mcintyre
of the Maine Central because the official
had taken the mileage tickets from the
front of Mr.. Eaton's book after being
rendered the tickets at the back. Mr.
Eaton wanted the coupons torn from the
back of the book because then the num-
bers on the coupons would show at a
glance how many he had left, inasmuch
as the coupons are numbered form the
first page to the last OF course, the suit
is brought merely to determine what are
the rights of holder Of a mileage ticket
Mr.. Eaton argued his own case and
claimed that he had rendered the cor
ductor the proper amount of fare and that
it is as perfectly reasonable and his priv
ilege to designate that the coupons should
be taken from the back Of the book. Hon.
e. + Webb appeared for Mr.. Mcintyre
and maintained that if Mr. Eaton's re-
Guest had been granted and similar re-
quests made by other passengers. if
would unnecessarily add to the work of
the conductors, who can more readily
compute mileage by taking the front of
the book than from the back. He argued
that the road clearly had right to insist
on taking the coupons in the order in
which they were numbered.

why They Did Not Consolidate.

The Danville Star says Some
years ago an effort was made 20 con-
solidase Winston and Salem, but the
consolidation was lost on account OF the
lack OF suitable name. Salem, old
and rich in historic interest with fe-
male college whose name and repute-
ton was interviewer with its history.
could not afford to give up the name Of
Salem without serious and perhaps ir-.
reparable loss. Winston, with iss i'm
mense plug tobacco Interest, which is
the life of the city, could not give up
it's name. Hundreds of thousands of
dollars had been spent IN advertising
Winston's famous plug, and the city,
growing as 1t did, from a little hamlet
in less than quarter OF century to
the third place in point of population
among North Carolina cities, had in
spired g pride in It's people that made
the name Of Winston dear to them"
