Saue CT tire railroads are getting
TRAD OF handling the original package
stuff and propcse to refuse itshlpmert
Ia future. TIE two most extensive
;; .si;rosd systems in the State, the South
ern ard the Atlantic Coast Line, have
;; issued circulars to the above effect.
TIE following is toe circular OF the
! Southern Rsilway:

l! will be Ict 4 that in the circular
Of the Southern, it is stated that
shipments of spurious or malt liquors
lin glass Loose, not pscked IN eases,
kegs or casks, will not be accepted" It
will be remembered that shortly after
The decision OF Judge SimontcD,
many shipments OF original pack
ages" the bottles being wrapped IN
tissue paper and packed ia saHdust IN
he car, were received by agents. The
extra D -ecaution OF sbipping in saw
dust vas, CT course, done for no other
purpose than &c prevent bresksges.
But the circular states particularly
that originals" cannot now be SO
Shipped. Il appears that the slierna-
tive OF this is, that if each bottle IS Sc
curely fastened in g wooden box then
original packages" can be shipped.
Again, it would appear, from the
circular, that if jug Of whiskey is Sc,
curelv packed in small half barrel
size," for instance, the road will ship
the same.
The following is the circular of the
Atlantic Coast Lire, which speaks Tor
itsalf:
Wilmington. N. c., Sept. 9, 1897.
To Agents and Connections:
Referring to Circular Nc. D. 13O,
subject: Handling shipments OF liquor
10 points in South Carolina.
Inasmuch SIS our legal department
advises that the release adopted for
shipments OF liquor in bottles, packed
N separate cases, will not be OF lega!
effect to protect US against loss, IN
case of wreckaee caused by our own
negligence, and as property is not in
shipping condition without legally
eff sctive release, we give notice that,
from and after September 18th, we
wilI not receive shipments OF liquor
so packed.
gust 7th, 1894. continue in effect.

freight agent.

manager.
1t was learned from reliable author
iity that the Columbia, Newoerry and
IIaurens road and the Seaooard Air
Line had issued circulars quite similar
to that OF the Coast Line:
In connection with the recent cir
ca !ars the Sumter Item has the follow
ing 10 say:
Ii the Atisht:c Coast Lire enforces
tire order that no more shipments OF
original packages are to be transport
led over that system, the original pacS-
age dealers in this section OF the state
will fad themselves IL a yer? awk'
ward predicament. They will soon
dispose of their stocks and will then,
being unable to procure new supply,
have to GO out OF business.
TIE Columbia State OF Thursday
SAYS the Seaboard Air Line and the;
CoIumbia Newberry and Laurens
railroads have joined forces with the
Southern and the Atlantic Coast Line
in their refusal to longer haul uncased
bottles packed loose IL boxca.s Tor

still bent on getting a.! the business
