sabbatarian Railroad Suit.

RALEIGH, n. c., Aug. DIV. H.
Deaver, of Asheville, has brought suit
against the Southern Railway, TO test
the legality OF hauling express cars on
Sundays in North Carolina. The suit
is based upon a section of the code
which provides that no railroad COM
pany shall permit any cars to be run on
Sunday save such as are to transport
U. S. mails. either with or without pas
sengers, and such as are exclusively for
passengers and those exclusively for
live stock, fruits, vegetables and perish
able freights. Sunday is construed to
be between sunrise and sunset. The
Southern Railway will handle no ex-
press save perishable articles on Sun
days until this question is settled. The
penalty is $500 for each train in each
county through which the train runs.
1t is said that under literal construc-
ton of the act, dead bodies cannot be
shipped on that day.
