Important Decision.

The court of appeals has handed
down its opinion in the case of the
Southern Railway Company against
the Franklin and Pittsylvania Railroad
Company. 1t came up from the cir
cult court of Franklin. Judge RELY
wrote the opinion which was con.
CURED in by Judges Cardwell, Buch
anan and Harrison. Judge Keith dis
scented.
The Virginia Midland Company leas-
ed for term of thirty years the line of
road running from Franklin Junction
to Rocky Mount, at $1,000 per year.
The lease was to run from April Is,
1880. In 1884 the Southern Railway
acquired the property of the Midland
company and in the summer of 1897
plainly manifested it's mention to
abandon and cease to operate the
leased road. The Franklin company
brought it's suit in equity asking that
the Southern be enjoined from carry
ing out it's purpose. The Southern
admitted the charge of the complain
ant.
The most important question for
decision was whether the defendant
company was bound to operate the
leased line during the time of the lease
or could rightfully abandon and cease
to operate it. The court holds that
the company is bound to continue to
operate the line.

TiIden Rogers Talks.

brother of Miss Jessie Rogers, who OF
Wednesday last swOre out a warrant
against J. T. Todd, charging him with
felony, was in this city Saturday. As
will be recalled, Miss Rogers is the
girl whom Todd decoyed from the
Highland House. taking her to dis
reputable quarter Of the city, and
there in room of a house of ill-fame
made indecent proposals and tried to
detain her.
Upon interview Mr.. Rogers said
he was fully aware that large. sum
of money had been placed into Ger
tains hands in this city by friends of
Todd, with which they expected to
smooth over the matter. This how
ever, he said, would be of no avail,
for his sister had scorned even the idea
of receiving money, and that it was
his intention to carry the prosecution
to the full extent of the law. He fur
ther stated that Todd had passed
West Augusta Thursday night, and it
is thought that he is in that neigh
borhOOd at this time.
Mr.. Rogers is a young man of pleas
ant address and does not. hesitate to
express his views in regard to the mat
ter relating to his sister

Trolley Line to MiddIebr0ok.

There have been some rum0rs about
a trolley car line to Middlebrook and
meeting was held there Saturday,
which was we'll attended. More i'm
probable things have happened than
such a line, but there is nothing con-
crete about the scheme as yet, and if
it ever materializes it must be in the
future-it has not done SO in the past.
The present condition of our county
roads would make anything of this
kind welcome to our farmers, and it is
to be hoped that this may be the en-
tering wedge to trolley system all
over the county.

Ten Miles an Hour by Rail.

81 was greatly interested the other
day." said a passenger conductor who
runs into New Orleans, 'in looking
over an old schedule of the South Car
olina railroad printed just AZ years ago
in the fall of 50. 1t Is hard to realize
what tremendous changes have taken
place within the memory of the people
who are still alive and hearty. In the
SOS the South Carolina line was con-
sideTed one of the best equipped and
fastest roads in the country. / find
by the old schedule that the night ex-
press between Charleston and Colum-
bia, which is a distance of about 13O
miles, made the trip, when 1t had good
luck, in 12 hours and Is minutes, but
the public was warned not to expect
such a feat every day. The freight
service between the two points was
scheduled to cover the run in 20 hours,
there or thereabouts. That was
shade better than Az miles an hour,
and was considered so fast that there
was a special order to trainmen to stop
at the first siding in dense fogs and
wait for same to lift 1t seems to me
that order gives one wonderful pic
ture of the good old times, Think of
through freight roosting on a siding
waiting for a fog to lift! Nowadays
the passenger trains make the run
from Charleston to Columbia in 4
hours exactly. According to the so
schedule there was an express that
left Charleston at p. m. and arrived
in Hamburg at the following morn
ing. The distance is 1876 miles. A
freight for Aiken, 120 miles away, left
at the same hour and reached its des-
nation at $40 next night. Ten
miles an hour was considered remark
able speed for passenger trains in
those days, and an old inhabltant told
me that many people declined to risk
Iheir necks at such a gait. From what
l hear of the rolling stock equipment,
they showed their good sense. New
