AMONG the MAIL
What Railway Mail Clerk Found.

Strange tales are told of what men
in the United States railway mail serv-
ice sometimes find.
There was one clerk. hungry and
downhearted who found a food hint
one night in the following way: For
months I suffered from chronic fndi-
gestion, impoverished blood and shat
tered nerves caused by the improper
selection Of food. Was in the habit
of making a breakfast Of coarse and
pasty food accompanied by the free
use of coffee and these combined to
almost shatter my digestive organs. :
IT was employed in the railway mail
service and assigned to duty on a night
line where it was necessary to eat at
irregular hours during the night.
Everything ate, no matter how light,
not only failed to nourish but dis
tressed and nauseated me and [ was
reduced In weight from $50 to 122
pounds. My memory was fast falling
and I was a nervous wreck unfit for
duty and discouraged in view of the
fact that must soon give UP my good
position.
Zone night when the world seemed
darkest to me read among sack
of mail the words Grape Nuts, and
wondered If it was something good
to eat. Arriving at the end of my run

gained twelve pounds in two months
on Grape-Nuts food and kept on stead

pounds.
Grape Nuts improved and steadied
my brain and nerve powers SO that I
was able to pass my next examination
with a good grade and soon got a pro-
motion and was changed to a daylight
run; there is no doubt in the world
that owe my advance in position and

> DAMAGE SUITS IN STATE COURTS.
shall Cases Against Railroads be Heard in
State or Federal COurtsf
lGreaIlYilla Mountainous 7hh :

(Greenville Mountaineer, 7th.)
The State Supreme court is now
in session, and one of the most i'm
portant cases to be heard is on an
appeal from Newberry, the decision
OF which will determine the future of
litigation against railroad corpora
tlohs in this State. Mr. r. II. Welch
is the attorney for the plaintiff in the
case OF Sohnmpert against the South
ern railway, where suit was brought
against the railroad for damages, in
which the engineer charged with re
spohsibility for the wreck was in
cluded with the company iii the
action for damages, and the Jury
rendered verdict of $12,5OO in
favor Of the plaintiff. Mr. Thos. P.
Cothran, of this city, division coun
sci of the Southern railway, took an
appeal in the case on the ground that
the plaintiff had no right to bring
action under this joint tort.
The Southern railway is not a
domestic corporation, and the idea
OF including an employe in suits of
this character, 30 as to retain iuris
diction i'll the State courts, is to pre-.
vent railroad corporations from TAX
ing such cases in the Federal courts,
where it is supposed they have a
better chance of escaping heavy YER
diets. This plan Of indicting the
engineer, conductor or other employe
responsible for wreck or other
accident Is said to have originated
with the late Gov. Goehel, of Ken
tucky, whose murder called a hslt in
the proceedings he had instituted.
Ii the courts sustain the present con
tention of connecting the foreign
corporation with the servant or agelt
who is q citizen Of the State, the on
tire practice will be revolutionized.
as every lawyer in bringing an action
against railroads will greatly prefer
to have the trial in the State courts
while attorneys for the railroads will
be at disadvantage on account of
the past history of such litigation.
1t will be remembered that at the
last term Of the court in this county
similar action was brought against
the Southern railway, in which the
conductor and engineer were joined,
and the jury gave verdict against
the railway, the conductor and engi.
neer beinl dismissed. Carey, Nc.
Cnllough e. McSwain brought this
sr't, and al appeal was taken by
MIR. Cothran on behalf OF the rail
way.

SENATOR TILIMAN'S LECTURE.
1t Was Oh the Race lProblem and Was
Delivered at Columbus, Ga.

Senator B. Ii. TilIman has recent
ly delivered at the Springer opera
house in Columbus, Ga, his lecture,
The Race Problem from Southern
Point Of View" The lecture was
given under the direction of the
Columbus Lyceum course and was
pronounced a most signal success.
The press in Columbus, Ga, repro
dnced the address almost in it's en-
tIrety uuder the most complimentary
and Hattering headlines, and South
Carolina's senator seems to have
struck popular chord in that flour
lshlng city, aud TO have gained hun
dreds of friends rs result of the
discourse delivered upon the occa.
sion of his visit there.
The senator's address WAS along
the line Of his we'll known attitude
on the negro; one of friendship aud
good will to negroes as subordnates,
but OF deepest sympathy and oppo-
-ition to them when an effort is made
TO place them upon parity or
quality with the white people in
social, business or financial spheres.
The Colpmbus audience went wild
with enthusiasm over the statements
made by Senator Tillman and the
press OF the city Of Columbus is free
to admit that the erroneous opinions
heretofore held Of the senator (by
reason of the lack Of acquaintance
with him) have been dissipated and
that they fonnd him the unique char.
acter which he has been pictured, a
little warmer, perhaps, but withal an
honest, manly, able statesman, whose
sincerity has never been questioned,
who is as brave as a lion and as
gentle as Il woman; an enemy Of
shans, a ventilator Of frauds, q de-
fender Of reform and q defender Of
honesty.
The concluding sentence of Sena
tor Tillmap's address was as follows:
II don't know how this negro ques-
ton is going to be settled. There's
on" thing, though, that | am Just as
certain Of as that tomorrow's sun
VIII rise, and that is that there are
not enough Yankees in hi o. out OF
