CONSCIENCE EXCURSION.
A New Feature in Summer Outing Intro
duced by the Seaboard Air Line.

Some people say that railroad has no
conscience. The Seaboard Air Line has.
A good many have asked why the. ex-
cursion to be run by the Seaboard Air
Lime from Charlotte and Chester to vii
mington and return should be called a
Conscience Excursion
This Conscience Excursion will leave
Chester and Charlotte on the morning
of July 10Th respectively at S:j4 and
800. 1t passes Catawba junction at
$3.50. The train will return leaving Will
mington at 2:30 p. M, Friday, judy 21st.
and will arrive in Charlotte and Chester
at good bedtime.
The Seaboard Air Line, it appears. has
been troubled in mind because the week
end excursions would not allow Of an
outing to those who had scruples against
being ut summer resorts on the Sabbath.
According to its universal practice, il
wants to accommodate all in way tina!
will be most satisfactory all around.
Consequently, some people have called
this excursion the Conscience Excur.
sion' because it at once sets at rest
the conscience of the people going and
tne conscience of the railroad carrying.
Special arrangements have been made
to visit Wrightsville Sound and Ocean
View. Also, there will be trip on
steamer down the river to Carolina
Beach, Fort Fisher and Fort Caswel
where there will be fine opportunity OF
seeing the big disappearing guns and
other implements of war. There will be
fishing, sailing and surf bathing in album
dance. The rate will be low, $500 fol
the round trip.

MORE BAD BEEF FOUND.
And the Guilty Man This Time is l. A.
Bailey.

Another case of spoiled meat yester-
day came to the notice of Mr. j. n. Me-
Raly. the vigilant and efficient keeper
of the market.
1t was Il beef that had broken its neck
in this county. 1t had been dressed
without being bled, and was brought
here for sale.
The negro who owned it evidently
knew something was wrong with the
meat, so he took it around on Hargett
street near a stand kept by j. w.
Weathers, the spoiled sausage dealer.
Ibis stand belongs to man named /.
n. Bailey, who keeps a store out near
PAGES store on Person street.
Now Bailey does not bear the most
savory reputation as Il meat dealer. and
when Weathers was run out Of the
market he promptly employed him at his
Aargett street stand.
I When the negro got here with the bad
beef he turned it over to Bailey, Offering
S2.J0 to dispose Of it for him. Bailey
undertook the job, and had ii not been
for Mr.. McRary he would doubtless have
succeeded. He offered to sell this bad
beef to butcher VIM Dancy for cents
pNt Pouitu' AhsISNtpi hChdIy oNeTUtdTu
the conversation. Dancy went with
Bailey to inspect the meat and after
seeing its condition refused to purchase
it. Inspector McRary followed soon
after them and also inspected the meat.
He promptly condemned it, He also
sent for DIR. James Mckee, sllperinten-
dent of health, who also Immediately
condemned it and ordered ii buried.
The negro did not want to give up the
beef and asked to be permitted to carry
1t back to the country and sell it, This
was of course refused. He then asked
to be permitted to carry it home for his
own use.
Mr. Novel;, of the meat market of
Mr.. W. II. Crawford, says that Bailey
came to him and tried to sell part
of the beef. He told me, said Mr. Now
ell. THAT he had a fat beef. badly
butchered. and wanted TO know il |
could not use half of it for sausage |
told him no, we We're not buying any
dressed beef or making any sausage
lie did not name any price to me-.
1t is also stated that Bailey telephoned
Sam Woods, in the market, trying to
sell to him or get him to sell it,
Men who try to perpetrate such a
crime rs this cannot be too severely
punished.
