RECEIVED CONSCIENCE MONEY

CLERK restoring stolen Money.

cred him honest. reliable and industrious
and finally when he left his employ Mr..
Denton considered it a great loss 20 his
business.
Soon. however. he lost track of the
man and for several years had heard
nothing from him. until yesterday he
received from him Il letter. a most re-
markable letter it was, too.

And the strangest part of it all-and
really the part that shows the repentance
to be genuine-is that the man signs
his read name to the letter.

THE JIM CROW CAR
When Will the Law Go Into
Effect?
COMMISSION TO DECIDE
JUNE 1ST WILL PROBABLY BE
THE DATE FINED.
REDUCTION IN THE FERTILIZER RATE
To be Considered by The Commission at its
Meeting Monday. Alliance Asks that
the Minimum Car Load be
Made Ten Tons.
RsDUC lion IN THE FERTILIZER RATE

The Corporation Commission meets
again next Monday
Two matters of Importance will come
before it at this meeting:
The supplementary Act postponing
operation of the Jim Crow Car Law
not having been ratified some definite
understanding must be reached i'll re-
gard to separate cars.
Argument will he heard touching Il
cutting down of the freight rate on
fertilizers and a reduction of the MIMI
mum car load from fifteen to ten tons,
as petitioned by the State Farmers ALI
ance and by the North Carolina Depart
ment of Agriculture.
AS to separate cars, it is probable that
the commission will do nothing more
than give definite notice of the date on
which it will begin to enforce the law.
Since it is we'll known that the Legis-
lature did pass an act postponing opera
ton of the law till June, and since also
the railroads necessarily require time to
prepare cars for compliance with the
act. it is probable that the commission
viii not fix the date earlier than June
list, the day named in the supplements
tary act. and which only by an oversight
failed of ratification.
As to the reduction of fertilizer rates
and making ten tons the minimum car
load lot instead of fifteen tons, both of
these will hardly be done. The rail
roads say this is cutting them off at
both ends: that they can afford to haul
fertilizers at lower rate in large car
load lots than in small ones. Hence it
will be sort of Il three-cornered fight
divided about as follows: The consumer
and small shipper will favor a reduction
in both rate and carload: the large ship
per will favor Il reduction in rate but
oppose u reduction in car-load the rail
sitions.

phosphate works (of which Mr.. X. I.
Jones is overscer), thereby contaminat-
ing the water supply of the city of

Clerk of the Superior Court Russ
was placed on the stand by the plain
tiff and testified that two years ago
when he was mayor, that complaint
was made against the Water Works
Co. in regard to the impurity of the
water. 1t was when the dead horse
was found on the water shed. Mr.. Russ,
DR.. Mckee and Mr.. McPheeters, ,Jr..
had the water analyzed by the analyti-
cal chemist and the water was pro-
nounced good; but, on account of some
storm water, occasioncd by heavy rains.

acid
The evidence having been concluded
the court was addressed by Messrs.
Haywood, for the defendant, and Mr..
Simms for the plaintiff. Mr.. Jones
then spoke and was followed by Mr..
Beckwith.
Upon the conclusion of argument
