Death of Judge Simonton-Sunday
School Convention.
Especial to The Messenger.)

Greensboro, N. c., April 26.-In the
whiskey fraud cases on trial in the
FEDERAL court here, a jury was select
ed and evidence begun by 3 o'clock.
Deputies for the collectors offices in
North Carolina, Illinois, Kentucky
and Oklahoma were introduced, with
records from those offices in support
of the governments charge, that h
defendants operated bogus distiller-
les in either state, receiving stamps
for ten-proof goods at Louisville,
KY, Springfield, Ill, and other west
ern states Is low grade blackberry
brandy.
The North Carolina operators and
wholesalers, by collision with the
government auger as the records
in the North Carolina collectors
Office showed, would report identical
low proof stamps, obtained in other
states as 100 proof, being able thereby
to move out apparently properly
stamped a hundred gallons OF whis-
key on stamps issued for really five
gallons.
Court adjourned. pending h exam
ination of the ~custodianS of the rec
ords in collectors departments of
other states.
There is no question of immense
frauds on the government, the con-
tention of the defendants being that
they are not the parties committing
them.
The government claims that it will
be able to connect them with every
one of the eleven pretended distill-
ing, rectifying and wholesaling eStab-

TELEGRApHERs GET RAISE
Atlantic Coast Line Increases Pay
OF All Telegraph Operators.

The Atlantic Coast Line n a in
creased the pay OF its agents and tefe-
graph operators from Virginia to Flor
ida The agents and operators are
very happy because of the raise I'm their
salaries.
Telegraphers say that for years the
Atlantic Coast Line paid smaller sala-
res at the smal stations n TO new
men han any other railroad in the
south, while men in the larger towns
have always been well paid. the night
operators and agents at the small sta
tions were much underpaid. For n
long time some OF these men received
as little as $25 per month to which they
were able to d a small commission
from the express company. blu this ex-
ira frequently did nit Mount to So u
month, giving a total salary OF less
than $50, on which income some We're
bold enough to marry.
The Plant system always paid good
salaries, 1t Is said. and when the At
lantic Coast Line o charge there IL
did not make reductions but continned
the salarfes on the same schedule.
Soon after acquiring the Plant system
the Atlantic Coast Line people vol
unfairly raised the salaries OF their OWL
t~elegraphers. Those getting $40 or less
were given a raise of 81 and those get
ting more than $40 had their salaries
increased So a month.
A committee from the Order Of Rail-

Atlantic Coast Line officials and asked
for higher salaries The committee
