GETTING ROUND THE DECISIONS.
How Original Package shippers Are
working IL Now.


Original package shippers from Savan-
nah to South Carolina, have about succeed
ed in making arrangements for supplying
their agencies, despite the recent action
of certain railroads. that refused to haul
original package goods.
The present method of shipment, which
is adopted by some of the larger dealers,
is to send the packages in boxes and bar
rels, which are the property Of the rail-
road companies. 1t is required by the de-
cisions that the original package shull be
one that is not broken from the time 1t
leaves the packer, until it reaches the con-
sumner
The dealers here had been shipping the
packages in bulk in the cars. This was,
however, the ground upon which the rail-
road companies based their objections, but
since the dealers have resorted to the
means of shipping IN crates or boxes fur
nisfed them by the companies the ground
for the objection that the risk from break
age was too great to assume, has been re-
moved, and all Savannah dealers report
that they are reaching their agencies with
but little inconvenience.

The Etiquette of Eating.
From the Augusta Chronicle

One of the burning questions" in Mis-
sissippi is about Gov. McLaurin's eating
greens with his knife. DIR. Johnson pre-
ferred a cellar restaurant in London,
where he could eat with his fingers Qkeep
his hat on while dining, and then wipe
his hands on the back Of a Newfoundland
dog. Perhaps Gov. McLaurin, as a com
promise, might eat greens with chop
sticks.

hood Save among the advanced
socialists there are few who believe
that economic equality is possibil-

too great "a divergence in individual
capacity and industry for all men to
to be placed on the same level. But
out Of the debate, in the midst of
which this book Of Mr.. Georges will
stand out notably, there will come u
system of organization in which the
poles of social life will be brought
closer together and in which starva-
ton Of the helpless or Of those willing
and able to work will be impossible.
Time will be required for the evolu-
ton, but since all right-thinking men
are agreed that such a condition Of
society should come, why are we not
warranted in believing that it will
come, and within measurable per
iod? The state or common manage
ment Of many affairs now committed
to the bands Of corporations will be a
step toward 1t, and while it is true
that this in sense may be said to be
a moving toward economic equality,
why may it not with vastly greater
force be said to be step away from
the excessive social inequality which

SOME TIMELY ADVICE.

Several times during the present
management OF the lNDEP. i;:DENT
its editor has been threatened with
personal violence by men who had
violated the law and hoped by those
threats to escape the publicity their
conduct merited. In each Of these in
stances threats have proved Of no
avail and the persons making them
have been held up to the public scorn
in the columns of this paper. This
has not been done in any spirit OF
vindictlveness, but because the good
order OF this community and the Sc
curity Of the life and property of its
citizens demanded that crime, no
matter by whom committed, should
be exposed and the guilty brought to
Justice.
This has been the position Of the
INDEPENDENT since it's foundation
and will be it's position 30 long as it's
present editor controls its columns
Threats of personal violence, abusive
epithets or any Of the other means
resorted to by towards will not
swerve it one iota from the course it
has marked out. The present editor
has heretofore stood for law and or.
der and is now too old to be swerved
from the path Of duty by threats OF
personal violence or vile abuse, from
those who have resorted to these
means in the hope OF escaping pub
LEFTY.
Personal abuse by such characters
has no effect and they might save
their rotten BRAINS great deal Of un-
necessary wear and tear il they wonld
not rack them 30 much to coin abus-
i've epithets to hurl at our head, for
we always consider the source from
which they emenate and laugh at
those who use them.
So far as personal violence at the
hands OF these would-be desperate"
men is concerned we do not fear it.
We carry no arms and have no Gar
senal" at the office. Their threats are
considered as idle wind that bloweth
where it listeth and does no man
harm.
This is written in no spirit Of bEag-
gadocio, but merely for the benefit OF
those who have threatened and
abused us in the past and for those
who may be tempted to do so in the
future. BY bearing this in MUD men
of this class will save themselves the
unpleasant notoriety which will sure.
