Orlando Sheppard formally
laid the corner stone of the

WEDNESDAY, OCT. Z, 1903.

Anent the Tiliman trial,
nearly all of last week was
consumed in examining the
states witnesses, only several
being heard for the defense
Further progress, at least tot t
the present, has been stopped
on account of the sickness OF
a Juror, Milton Sharpe. At
this writing if has not been
determined whether the case
can be finished at this term OF
court or a mistrial ordered.
Some of the large railway
systems have announced that
they will not in future give
employment to persons who
use intoxicants in any shape
or form. They will no lon
ger entrnst human lives and
property with employees who
are rendered incompetent to
perform their duty faithfully
by reason of strong drink.
Were such a rule also adopted
and held inviolate by smaller
corporations and individual
enterprises, many who ar e
addicted to drinking would
give up the baneful habit.
That time and distance no
longer retard to any great de-
gree the daily transactions in
the affairs of men is shown by
the following achievement:
On Friday last Inman & CO..,
of Charleston, desired to put
1900 bales of spot cotton in
New York in the shortest pos
sible time so as to take advan-
5tage of a rise in price. A train
of fifty cars drawn by a loco
motive vof- the Iuader9
type delivered the cotton in
New York in less than two
days. The train was charter
ed at a cost of $4,000. Thou
sands of dollars were made
on the transaction. Not many
years ago such an undertake
ing would have been regard
ed as an idle dream.
