The railroads are kicking
against the order recently pass
ed by the State Railroad Com
mission com pelling them to sign
bills of lading for cotton as soon
as it has been placed on the
platform or on the ground at the
depot. Vice President Russell,
of the Mobile and Ohio, has writ
ten a letter to the Commission
stating that the law will work a
great hardship on the railroads,
asking that it be repealed, and
the Com mission has promised to
take the matter up at it's next
regular meeting. The need for
the law arises from the fact that
at this season of the year there
is generally a great scarcity of
freight cars. and cotton some
times lays on the platform for
days at a time before it is ever
loaded and bill of lading sign
ed. The law is a protection for
the farmers and small mer-
chants, and appears on it's face
to be a good one.

SUNDAY CaROUSALS.

Columbus enjoys the reputa-
ton of being one of the most
moral and law-abiding cities in
the State, and the vast majority
of her citizens are religious God
fearing people. But there is an
element here who have little re-
gard for the laws of either God
or man, and who seem to take a
delight in breaking them, espe-
cially those in regard to the desc
Grafton of the Sabbath.
Many of US can remember the
time when there was no such a
thing as Sabbath breaking in
Columbus. and when the stiffness
was broken only by the melod-
ious chime of tho church bells.
Now things are different. for
there is class of people here
who make Sunday a day for
drinking. crap Shooting and
carousals of every kind. and
every Monday morning there are
a large crowd of law breakers be-
fore the Mayor to be tried on
various charges. their crimes and
misdemeanors all being traceable
TO the bad liquor on which they
have tanked up. and which has
aroused the most vicious in
stincts of their nature.
1t is true that the vast major
ity of these misguided men and
women are negroes, and as
negroes as rule have very lit
tie sense of right and wrong and
no pride whatever, little else is
to be expe cted. But the fact
that there is so much Sabbath
breaking here reflects upon the
city and will lnjure her reputa-
ton abroad. The authori-
ties ought to try to find some
way to put stop to Sunday
drunkenness and Sunday carous-
ais of every kind. With the
present police force it may be
impossible to do this, as most of
the crimes and other transgres-
sions of the law take place on the
suburbs, where there is practi-
cally no police protection. Column
bus has grown so rapidly during
the past few years that there is
an urgent demand for an in
creased police force, and there
ought to be a sufficient number
of mounted officers to patrol the
outskirts of the city both night
and day.

Loeb,s Bio Department Store.

Columbus has grown very
rapidly during recent years. and
the firm of Simon Loeb & Bro.
has kept pace with the rapid pro-
gress of the city. This firm
which is composed of Messrs.
Simon and julius Loeb, began
business in a modest way in
1874. and since that time has
been constantly expanding, and
now occupies an immense three
story brick building at the corner
of Market and College streets.
This building is 100 by 125 feet,
and is crowded to it's utmost
capacity by the immense stock
of goods which the several diff
ferent departments contain. The
firm has never resorted to catch
penny methods to entice buyerss
but enjoys the confidence of the
public and numbers among its
customers the best people of
Colum bus and the surrounding
country. There are twenty five
people employed, and all are
kept continuously busy. the sales
during the year which is now
drawing to a close being the
largest that the firm has ever
enjoyed.
The establishment is run on
strictly modern methods, being
divided into several departments,
which are in charge of com petent
employees. One of the most i'm
portant of these departments is
that which is devoted to the sale
of dress goods, and which is pre-
sided over by Mr.. j. E. Mason
and Miss Annie Lide. Here are
to be found all the latest crea-
tions of foreign and domestic
manufacturers in silks, satins,
woolens, cashmers and dress
goods of every description. A
large stock of millinery goods
and ladies dress skirts is also
carried, and in fact this depart
ment contains every thing neces.
sary to com plete the toilet of the
most fastidious lady in the land.
The clothing department is a
specia' feature of the store. and
in it are to be found all the latest
styles in N ems suits, overcoats,
furnishings and wearing appar-
ell of every description. The
firm has the exclusive agency
for Columbus for some of the
best known and most popular
brands of ready made clothing
