Columbia, s. c., Sept. 15.-The Seaboard

Laurens railroads have joined forces with
the Southern and the Atlantic Coast Line
in their refusal to longer haul goods
for original package stores. The Flori-
da Central and Peninsular, South Carolina

If more roads do not join, twenty-four OF
the forty counties can get liquor These

state officials to compel these recalcitrant
roads to yield is an interesting question
few weeks ago threats were made of
forfeiting their charters and getting in

original package agents. An intimation
was made by department assistant that

VERTICAL WRITING.

The subject OF vertical writing haf
occupied good deal OF attention OF
late years, and the time seems not dis
tant when this admirable system Will
be taught in all of our public schools.
Its chief virtue is of course legibility,
which is the main consideration in
chirography, Flourish and embellish-
ment are of small moment. The verti-
cal style is not only extremely legible,
but it is handsome as we'll, and is far
less fatiguing than the old or slant sys-
tenn.
We look forward with confidence to
the time when the vertical system viii
be taught in every school in the land.
1t is already fast supplanting the old
writing in the city schools. Educators
may profitably devote their attention
to this subject. The whole CONNER
cial and social world will benefit i'm
measurably by its introduction. 1t is
the line of progress aud cannot be set
aside

Hero of the Rails.

Another railway hero is added to the
list Of gallant fellows who have sacri-
feed their lives to save the lives Of 9th
ers. At Trenton Isaac Slack, a freight
conductor, saw four cars break loose
from train he had inst left and start
down the track for head ON collision
with an approaching passenger train.
He made rush and succeeded in climb.
ing to the top of the first Car and in
putting ON the brake II was too late tc
prevent the collision, and the shock
threw him to the ground and instantly
killed him. But his effort had nearly
stopped the freight cars, and the crash
was not great enough to injure any one
else. The American soldier and sailor in
their best estate are not more faithful OF
devoted than is the brave American rail.
