AFTER THE RAILROADS.
House Would Compel Them to
Stand BY Their Rates.


There is no doubt about the fact
that patrons of the railroads are fire.
quently annoyed in the matter of Sc
curing rebates on account Of over
charges. It is frequently the case that
a shipper is asked to pay freight in ex-
cess of the charges fixed in his bill Of
lading, and until he does so the freight
will not be delivered. Then comes the
process Of recovering the overchange.
which is so slow and tedious a nature
that it is often abandoned in disgust.
The general assembly, or the house at
least, is trying to remedy this situa-
ton, and to that end, on last Tuesday
passed the following:
Section l. That from and after the
passage of this act all railroads or
railroad companies doing business in
this state shall protect the rate of
freight stipulated in the bill of lading
for the carriage Of all freights goods,
wares and commodities Of every kind,
whether the said bill of lading be for
eign or domestic. and for the failure
or refusal of any railroad or railroad
companies or their agents to deliver
all such freights. goods, wares or 9TH
er commodities upon demand, and
payment of freight charges equalling
the rate stated in the bill of lading,
said railroad company shall be fined

upon King shot him dead and then
fired three more shots at the father:

Mrs. Rodgers. I'll kill the whole
damned family" said King, swapping
the smoking pistol in her face. 1t was

wife that he would not be taken by
the sheriff. He is at large.
The Good Roads Convention.
The South Carolina Good Roads
convention met in Columbia on last
Tuesday pursuant to call issued Dy
President Hyatt, and continued IN
session until Wednesday afternoon.
The Good Roads association was or
includes all those interested In this
work. The meetings are held during
the session Of the legislature, In order
that the general assembly may be IN.
formed as to the work being done and
the interest shown in the movement
may be seen by the body. The meet
ing was called to order by the presl-
dent and, after prayer by Presldlng
Elder Beasley, the address OF Wei
come WAS IIldoC Ny liS t4oAA. -
H. Weston. Gov. D. c. Hayward fol-
lowed with an address on good roads,
telling many interesting facts In con-
nection with the subject, and promis-
ing all the assistance in his power TO
ANYTHING that would benefit the high
ways of the state. Governor HeyWard
was followed by President Hyatt, who
stated the object of the convention,
and outlined the work to be done. Inc
convention then got down to business
and reelected the officers of the asso-
ciation as follows: President, F. H..
HYATT; secretary, Earle Sloan, Of
Charleston; treasurer, B. E. Tally. or
Anderson. A committee on resolutions
was appointed, consisting Of Messrs.
J. M. Major, Greenwood; G. d. smith,
Greenville; A. M. Williamson, Dar-
lington; S. E. Owens, Richland, w. r.
Cantwell, Charleston, and the presl-
dent; to whom all resolutions and me-
MORALS to be introduced in the legiS,
lature pertaining to good ROADS shoulo na
be referred. The resolutions will be
gone over and then submitted through
the representatives. The attendance
was about fifty, nearly every county
in the state being represented. A COM
mittee was appointed to memorlailze
the legislature to pass an act to allow
counties to vote on the question
whether bonds should be Vot 60 lor
permanent improvements Of roads. the
amount of bonds to be limited to $20o,-
900, to be used $4,000 worth at time,
until the whole amount Is used, pro-
vided that amount iss necessary. A
resolution was also adopted, calling
upon the senate to adopt the house
bill permitting the sentencing OF con-
victs to the chaingang for ten years.
There was a good deal Of discussion
over the communication tax matter, but
no recommendations were made. The
various supervisors had an experience
meeting on road building and some
valuable information was ELECTED. The
only other business Of interest trans
acted was that the time Of meeting
was changed from the third Monday
in January to the third Wednesday IN
that month. The place will be Colum-
bia, as usual.

Clothing.

Hundreds Of people have been
through our big stock Of CLOTHING
during the past fall and hundreds Of
people have been FITTED and MUCH
PLEASED. Although our sales have
aggregated many thousands Of dollars,
to all appearances there are as many
goods in our CLOTHING department
now as there was last fall. This Is be-
cause we have not allowed our stock
to run down. 1t Is not difficult mat
ter to get a FIT, and 1t is not difficult
to be PLEASED WITH PRICES. We
are not looking for profits now; but
for sales, and the prices we are making
are calculated to astonish.

and LaCes.

We have miles and miles Of match
and LACES. NO
other store in this section has ever at
to exhibit at one time such a
quantity as we now have in stock.
For just an intimation Of the quality
and quantity of our MATCH EN-
BROIDERIES we would ask the Ia
dies to take a glance at our south
show window. Then we would ask
them to come in and make more par
ticular inspection. If we have not
enough of Embroideries and taces TO
supply the trade, we would like to
know the reason why.

The Atlantic and North Carolina
Railroad will run two sections of
their Sunday morning train to More
head city beginning tomorrow.
The first section will leave here at
Z o'clock and the other will leave
here at 8 O'Clock. On the return trip
one section will leave Morehead at
the usual time, which is 1850 in the
afternoon, while the last section will
leave the Atlantic Hotel after sup
per, at 1850 O'Clock. The fare on both
of these trains is 1925 for the round
trip. The additional train is Pnt on
to accommodate the large crowds who
visit the seashore on Sunday.
MI. L. ID. Gulley, who is under
contract with the city to remove the
"Great Eastern" near the new city
hall, has addressed a communion
which he actually asks the city for
damages for erecting the city hall
and market so near his property and
asks that the board give him a con-
ference and show cause why the deed
he gave the city for the land should
not be cancelled. The board re-
piled to the communication by pass
ing a resolution directing him to tear
down the old building at once, in
compliance with his contract.
Now that the Beard of Aldermen
have ordered an election on the
liquor question, it only remains for
the vote to be polled and counted for
the will of the people of Goldsboro
to become a law-that no whiskey
shall be sold in the best town in the
State, as we believe the majority of
our citizens are overwhelmingly in
favor of a dry town. Let us approach
the election without chickering's Or
harshness, and with that dignity of
conduct and oneness of purpose that
will give the cause abiding success
and the law wholesome enforcem" ut.
