COUNTY CORONER RESIGNS.
His Successor and Other Officers to be
Chosen at Next Meeting.

DR.. r. B. Ellis yesterday sent in his
resignation as coroner, to take effect
when his successor is elected and quail
fed. The Board will elect a man to fill
the vacancy at it's next meeting.
The election of all other offcers-coun-
ty attorney, road supervisor, superinten-
dent of County Home-was also postpon-
ed indefinitely. A special meeting will
be called for this purpose this month or
the matter will go over till the next reg
ular meeting in January. The terms of
all the above officers expire January 1.
A policy for $1,000 in the North Caro-
lima Home Insurance Company on the
County Home, dated November 9th, was
deposited with the County Treasurer.
Heretofore the insurance ON this property
has been only $1,000.
The Board decided to sustain the road
supervisors in Panther Branch town
ship in granting the cart way between
DR.. Blalock's to BARRIERS bridge, across
J. l.. Jones' land.
The publication of the annual state
ment of the county's finances was refer
red to Chairman Hill and Attorney Har-
ris, who will give out the contract TO
some newspaper.

h lies. "a cents: 200 miles. SO cents.
AT the appointed time, October 10th,
d the roads of the State put into eff
d et the new rates-except the, Sea-
d ard Air Line. This, it now appears,
d aintained the former rate over IT'S
vhole system, paying no atteMton1 to
tie new order except to send a repre-
sentative before the Commission every
time it met to ask that the order be
rescinded. s$ 1858 ~ " =
This the Commission each time rec
fused to do. but it was not until the
lxtter part of November that it came
10 the knowledge of the Commissioners,
through complaints of the shippers, that
the old rates were kept in force by this
read.
The complaint was called to the att
tention of Mr.. H. w. B. Glover, traffic
manager of the Seaboard system. lie
reblied by saying that inasmuch as the
question of cotton rates on the Seaboard
was to be re-heard by the Conlnission,
he hoped the old rate would be allowed
to stand until the matter was finally
decided. lie added further, that, in
view of the very, heavy loss that would
result from the new rate on the Caro-
lima Central division, the Seaboard had
made no change in its rates pending the
hearing of the case.
To this the Commission, ON December
LIST, replied that the rate should have
been put into effect October 10th. and
that there had been no consent other
wise. The Commission goes on further
IN it's letter to say:
''Maj. Shaw, attorney for your COM
pany, filed a petition, asking the Com
mission to reconsider its action in the
matter, but this was refused. He in
timated that he would again appear be-
fore the Commission and ask for re-
hearing, but at no time has there been
any consent for a continuance OF the
old rate. The Commission trusts that
you will comply with the order without
further delay"
That this has not been done is shown
by a continuance of the complaints OF
over-charges sent to the office of the
Railroad Commission.
A letter from shipper at Henderson
to the Railroad Commission, enclosing a
bill for $3.50, overcharge on 49S bales
of cotton shipped over this road, says:
"We bought this cotton, relying on the
rates made by your honorable Commits
sion, and unless you protect us it will
ID
viewed Mr.. Capps ON this subject, and
he talks very defiantly-stated that he
had no idea whatever of conforming to
your rates, and before they would sub
NIT to it, they would enter into litiga-
ton, and even then, if the courts de-
cided against them, they would keep us
out Of our. money for five years, and he
would advise us not to buy any more
cotton hoping to get your rates; if so,
we would be fooled.
"We have, in addition to this, another
claim, which we will forward in day
or two"
If the facts set forth in this letter are
true, and Mr.. Capps is correctly quoted,
then there can be no doubt that the
Seaboard intends to resist the ruling OF
the Commission and carry the matter
into the courts.

for she was mounted on the best of
them, and the effect of her weight on

Circling wide to avoid the people
that might be around the saloons or
houses, Chiquta headed her mount into

expected to hear voices crying to her
or the sound of hoofs galloping in
chase; once she imagined she heard

and, after waiting for them to get clear,
she passed quickly across the path Of
light that streamed from the door into
the darkness that surrounded the COR
raj. There We're several horses there;
she could just see them moving about or
lying on the soft sand. Feeling along
the cottonwood poles which inclosed
the corral, she found the heavy, silver
mounted saddle of Don Ramon. Chi
Quita could not lift the saddle, for it
was heavy far beyond her strength, but
the bride hung over its horn, and this
was what Chiquita wanted. She caught
it up, and going to the slip rails quick
ly let them down and passed inside.
The horses snorted distrustfully and
edged away from the little figure,
strange to them, that intruded at so un-
seemly an hour. Chiquita spoke to them
soothingly in trembling undertone,
for fear she might be heard. She called
to them by endearing names in her soft
Spanish, and hinted of deliCacies that
would eventually be forthcoming. Fin
ally one horse took heart and allowed
her to approach and, with a readiness
given by lifelong familiarity with his
kind, Chiquita slipped the bit in his
mouth and passed his ear through the
loop that served as a throat latch. She
led him after her to the opening of the
corral, climbed on the fence and dropped
on his back as he passed her and was
away.
After few plunges to express his
disapproVal of this method of mount
ing, the animal settled into a long,
swinging stride, such Il stride as only
the horses of Don Ramon could take;
a stride that precluded successful pur-
