The commission met promptly at 10
O'Clock. No sooner had Chairman Cald-
well called it to order than Mr.. +. H.
Busbee, the Southern Railways attorney,
arose and said:
Il am here to-day to say a word in
regard to the Jim Crow car. / see in
the News and Observer resolution that
he is to introduced / want to ask that
before the board considers it on its mer is
the railroads be given a hearing. There
are Interstate questions involved and
we ask that the matter be referred to
the Legislature, as has ben done in other
States"
Mr.. Caldwell-"Wnl the Board consid-
err the resolution now"
DIR. bbott-"Such a course is agreeable
to me. 1t is Mr.. Pearson's resolution.
He has not yet introduced it, and it de-
ponds on whether he is willing to now
introduce it,"
Mr.. Pearson said nothing. Mr. Bus
bee sat down Chairman Caldwell began
the call of the docket.
The first case called was the petition
of the citizens of the Maxton for new
depot Mr.. George NJ. Rose asked to
sion sometime ago ordered new depot
erected at MaXton by the Carolina Cen
trail and Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley
Railroads. They had not done so for the
reason that the last-named road is soon
to be sold. On account of this the receiv-
er can use no funds except by order of
Judge Simonton. nd an application for
such permission would be resisted by the
bond-holders, until after the sale of the
road on December Doth.
On this showing the matter was post
poned until the January meeting.
Mr.. Busbee now made another at
tempt to get the Jim Grow" car resolu-
ton considered. But Mr.. Pearson seemed
to want to wait till he got ready to intro
duce his resolution and so Mr.. Busbee
gave up in despair and, like the rich
young man, went away sOrrowful.
The next case was Il petition 0fs the
citizens of Kinst0n for a downtown tele-
graph office, separate and apart from the
railroad office. This was granted it APP
pearing that the receipts Of the office are
upwards of ST 200 a year and the eX-
penses only about 5000. 1t was also
shown by the petitioners that the pres
ent service is entirely inadequate and
very unsatisfactory. The telegraph com
pany did not deny this and promised to
improve it if the commissioner would not
move the office.
The new office ordered by the commits
sion is to be in the business portion of
the town, conveniently located, and en-
tirely separate and Independent of the
railroad office. 1t must be established by
January 1.
On this matter the vote stood 2 to O.
Those voting in the affirmative were

''In honor prefering one another"

'In honor prefering one another"
This is the biblical Injunction, but
among politicians is the last place in the
world one would expect to find it obser-
we'd
But there are exceptions to all rules
and perhaps it was one of the exceptions
| stumbled upon yesterday.
Be that as it may, it was a most touch
ing sight-the noble self-sacrifice display
ed by DIR. Abbott and Chairman Cald-
well. of the Railroad Commission, when
the matter of providing separate cars for
the races came up on Commissioners
Pearsons resolution.
Il am in favor of the resolution, but
| understand the Legislature will pass
such law and | don't think we ought
to jump i'll and take the credit said
Chairman Caldwell.
I'm as much opposed to riding with
negroes as anybody, but | think it would
be presumption in us to try 81 rob the
Legislature of the credit of this law mt
this late day.
This was most touching Could any
thing be more so? These men. after years
of toll in the political field, giving up
present glory and future prospects. And
for what? a point of honor.
Mr.. Pearson was not so particular. He
had introduced the resolution and he in
sisted on its passage. And he showed
in this respect woful lack of what was
due the Legislature. Perhaps the rea-
son for this was that Mr. +. III. Busbee,
the Southern Railways attorney, had
not whispered in his ear. as he had in
DR.. Abbott's, that the matter ought y
no means to be taken up now, but that
it should be left over for the Legislature.
Anyway he insisted on his motion to
adopt and protested against DR.. Abbott's
motion to lay on the table. But two is
stronger than one and Mr. Pearson lost
and the railroads won.
So much for the first round. How
about the matter when the Legislature
gets it? Can the railroads there kill it,
too?

There is more honesty and virtue

A GEORGIA HEN COOP.
1t Was Sure Proof Against the Inroads Of
Outsiders.

1t Was Sure Proof Against the Inroads of
Outsiders.
There ism t a more faithful being on
earth, +" said a Georgia business man to
a reporter, ethan one Of our Georgia
darkies. Neither is there one more su
perstitious, nor yet again is there one
who loves better the products of the
hen coop. And Gainesville ism t any diff
ferent from any one of a hundred south
ern towns. When l was down there
some time ago, customer Of mine who
had a fancy for chickens and who had
always had more or less trouble in
maintaining ownership of them told me
he had a remedy and asked me to go
around with him and see it, / wanted
him to tell me what it was, but he in
sisted Oh my seeing it first so l went
along with him, and in few minutes
was standing in his back yard before
what was to me the oldest chicken
coop | ever saw. 1t was constructed of
large timbers and there were a dozen
places in its walls where a hand could
be run in and everything cleaned out
within reach. Then there was no fas-
tening on the door, nor was there any
kind of protection to the fowls. l
couldn't understand how such an in
viting snap could be Of any use to the
owner and said as much.
The charm is in the timber, said
he,
No., said l.
" Fact, just the same, said he. You
don't see it on the outside and you don t
know it, but the darkies around here
do, and they won't come within 100
yards of that coop if they can help it. l
don't care how full of chickens it is.
Cause why? 1t is built of the timbers
Of gallows on which man was hung
about three months ago in another coun-
ty. 1t cost me something extra to get it,
but it has more than paid for itself
since l have had it, and I am in the
market now to buy all the secondhand
scaffolds in Georgia. If you run across
a sheriff any place with one for sale, let
me know by next mail, won't you,
please?
ut was a true bill, 5" concluded the
travelling man, "for I saw darky
tried on it, and he refused a big silver
dollar to go down to the coop to get a
chicken for breakfast w Washington
Star.
