For this reason his work was much lighter
than it otherwise would have been.
Among the customers of the office in
this place there are very few who have
been in the habit of accepting receipts.
Those who have accepted them are the
business men, who take them so that in
case dispute arises in regard TO the
shipment of goods they may have a
record for comparison.
Those of the shop keepers who do ac-
cept receipts are in the habit of using a
small book, SO arranged that a dozen
articles may be receipted for by the com
pany on one page By the use of this
book the work of the express agents and
clerks is greatly reduced and facilitated.
/ Under the war revenue law. the express
| company is required to affiX to each re-
ceipt for an express package a stamp. In
cases where the receipts are given in the

work is very easy and requires but little

| In the case of dealing with individuals
who do SO little business with the ex-
press company that a book is not re

accept the receipt. In spite of this, the
agents are required to give the receipts

of the form is printed, leaving only

case is different, for the reason that more
work is required for filling in one receipt

the work of the agents is greatly in

is most precious. the time when the
trains are about to arrive.

FORTUNATE ESCAPE
For C. n. Cunningham from Rolling Under a
Train. Yesterday.

A narrow escape from Il serious acct
dent was experienced, Thursday noon. by
&. II. Cunningham. while attempting to
board IL train. When the west-bOund
train. due in this city at 11.Ji. was pulling
out of the station, Mr.. Cunningham was
in Il nearby store. AS the train began to
move, Mr.. Cunningham rushed for it, and,
crawling under the gates across the
street. took hold of the hand rails at the
side of a car near the middle of the
train, when it was across the street.
Mr.. Cunningham was unable to board
the train at once on account Of the speed
at which it was running, but ran along
beside the train as best he could. still
keeping hold of the hand rails. When
near the building on the corner. he struck
his foot against il part of the bridge and
was dragged over the bridge half the
width of the building, a distance of %
feet. He then lost his hold but managed
to save himself from rolling under the
train, which by this time was moving at
d good rate of speed
Those who We're standing nearby ex-
pected every moment to see Mr.. Cunning
ham roll under the wheels of the cars
With some the expectations were 50
great that they turned their backs to the
scene. Beyond a few bruises, Mr.. Gun
ningham was uninjured.

GREEhvILLE'S MYSTERY.
Another Decomposed Body Found on Shores

Greenvile. July 20.-This town has a
mystery that bids fair TO furnish n
theme for discussion among the

many a day to come. 1t will be re
membered that last Friday the body
OF an unknown man was found float
ing in the lake by James Il. Reynolds,
a guide. who with his wife. was fishing
near SquaW brook.
Today another body and boat pad
dlc were found upon the shore within
short distance Of the point, where
tho FIRST body was found. This body,
like the first. was 50 bioated as TO
make recognition impossible.
Ii has been learned that some time
ago John Terrill of Old Town, sent
three men up the lake to look at some
dams. and that since their departure
no word has been heard from them
one of the three men was John
Romeo. a brother of j. Willis Romeo.
proprietor Of the Johnson house, Gar
diner. The seconds name was Con
Yer. but the name Of the third is un-
known.
Tho fact that these three men have
not been heard from since their de
parturc leads many to believe that the
bodies found are of two of them. which
if true leads to many suggestions. II
the bodies found did belong To the mis-
sing party. which two are they Ana
wcrr they accidentally drowned. or did
the third member kill them for what
little money they had? These are m
tcrcsting questions that are being
asked here Ivy many tonight. 1t IS to
