We are going to have tho old

general, after consultation with tho

mont, it is said, will save $4,000 q
year by printing the two cent stamps
in green as ink Of that color is less
costly than carmine. The public will

Tho young man had been intro

/
Atlanta, September 81. --Tillman's
widely celebrated South Carolina
dlspensary law figured in Il very
important hearing before Judge
Newman Of the United States circuit
court today. The hearing was on a
bill brought by Bluthenthal & Rick
art, through their attorneys, Glenn,
Slaton & Phillips, to compel the
Southern railroad to carry whiskey
into South Carolina. The bill, which
was filed yesterday, prayed that
Judge Newman grant an order fore
ing the road to carry the whiskey as
regular freight. Conspiracy or col.
lusion was charged against Governor
Ellerbo, Of South Carolina, and
Traffic Manager Culp of the South
ern road in the bill of tho plaintiffs.
Attorney General Barber Of tho State
dispensnry was herc to represent and
defend the Governor.
Judge Newman declined to grant
any order in tho case at present, but
took tho matter under considora
ton.
Original packages were the immo,
diato cause Of tho trouble which
Judge Newman WAS called upon to
adjust. Since Judge Simonton's do.

dealers here have been shipping
great quantities of whiskoy to
South Carolina, housing it in stores
and disposiug Of it in original pack.
ages. The Southern railroad has
becu hauling this freight, but on
September l6, il issued an order
declining freight not packed secure
ly enough to prevent damage from
breakage and not packed in such
manper as to answer all tho require
ments of the original package law.
This shut of much Of the freight
which had boon shipped from Atlanta
not encosed
Bluthenthal Il Bickart, local whis-
key dealers, had established agen-
cies in tho towns in South Carolina
and were hit harder by this decision
of the roads than any other whiskey
house in the country. They estab-
lished these agencies on the strength
of Judge Simonton's decision and
after the Southern road had accepted
shipments of uncased goods. AS
the Southern road is the only medium
by which they can roach their South
Carolina agencies they feel that they
have a grievance.
They were further encouraged to
expand thoir business in Carolina,
because some time last month, when
one Of their earliest shipments Of
original packages WAS scized, Blu
thonthal & Bickart Immediately
brought bill of injunction against
tho constables to restrain them from
seizing tho whiskoy and Judge ST.
monton at once issued an order re-
straining the constabulary from in.
torforing with or seizing their
whiskey.

who were switched on to the dispen-
