Temperance Lesson in FIguers.

Medical statistics often furnish
better temperance lessons than those
given BY orators. These statistics
show that 20 per cent of pneumo lia
cases, disease unusually prevalent In
many sections Of the country at this
time. are fatal where the sufferer IL
addicted to the use Of alcoholic bever-
ages. On the other hand, only % per
cent of cases are fatal wherein the suff-
erer Is not addicted to the use Of
liquor. These statistics are all the

consideration that the non users in

THE NEW C0UnT HOUSE.
w. j. Webster Sees a Good Lesson IN
The Talk About Moving 1t.

ssUolnmb,a, Tenn, Jan. IA.
ITO the Columbia Herald - /,
II have read with a great deal OF
interest your various articles en- the
court house proposition. We have
some lessons to learn by the PROPOSE
/ tion of Mt. Pleasant; the county also
has some lessons to learn about how
monies generally nave Dven spent.
1--WE are one county, one interest;
| the greatest county in the State OF
Tennessee and need TO pull together
| instead of one faction or one section
against another. Columbia Is the
| logical center OF the county, county
seat and greatly larger in wealth and
every other way than any other por
ton OF the county of the same size and
naturally situated for the best advant-
ages Of building the court house,
materially and otherwise, transporta-
io6 and other facilities considered.
But the pluck and spirit OF Mt. Pleas
ant ought to give Columbia q lesson
that in some respects she is inclined
to grab after dimes and nlckies and
not spread her wings
1--WE not only need the court house,
in Columbia, but training school for
boys. The arsenal property which could
be procured for nothing II devoted to
this proposition and properly endowed,
is suitable for this proposition. The
court house should be placed on the
same site on the square centrally
located for the entire county; but Co.
lumbla should wake up to public I'M
provement and not be too grasDlng or
too sordld. Propositions from Mt
pIaaaa nt teach fms lesson
ION the other hand, the county
should generally recollect that Colum
bIa mas paid ner part OF the bridge tax
all over the county and is still taxable
wherever the interests OF the county
are Involved, The court house Is =
mere bagatelle when properly cons1d
cred Tue leakage for the last i've
years In improper allowances all over
the county would pay the tax without
one cent of taxes to be levied. Stop
the leaks, and ordinary taxes would
pay out IN i've years. do you think
there have been any leaks in the
county, II recollect properly your
bridge I:s warrants outstanding are aDo ;,

BILL OF LADING INQUIRY.
Interstate Commerce Commission TAX
ing Evidence in Chicago Today.


The interstate commerce commits
sion began today an investigation of
the so called uniform bill of lading
which all the railroads east of Chicago
have agreed to require all shippers to
use after December 81. A great many
railroad officials and shippers have
been subpoenaed to testify before the
commission.
Commercial organizations of a large
number of cities, headed by the Hill
nois Manufacture association, have
been fighting for nearly two years the
plan of the railroad to adopt the
uniform bill of lading drafted by the
eastern railroads. 1t is claimed that
medium for advancing freight rates 20
per cent. 1t contains a clause provid-
ing that the transportation companies
shall not be responsible for any loss or
damage to freight unless the shipper
pays a premium of 20 per cent above
the rates published by the railroads in
accordance with the interstate com
merce law. The words mot negotia-
ble'' are printed cOnSpicuouSly on the
proposed uniform bill of lading, and
shippers object to this.
After disposing of the bill of lading
case the commission will resume its
investigation of rates of freight on live
stock from the southwest and north
west to Chicago, and from the south
west to the northwest. The railroads
claims of live stock raisers and dealers
that the advance in rates, made two
years ago by the railroads, was an I'M
reasonable increase

MARKETS TODAY.
Active Buying of Wheat Causes
an Advance.
Liberal Receipts Responsible for
a Weak Corn Market.
LIVE STOCK TRADE.
Cattle Steady in Face Of Heavy
Receipts.
Hogs Are Steady to Five Cents
Lower.

Chicago, Dec. 5.-WHEAT-Active buy
ing of May wheat by commission houses
and local shorts today caused an advance
of a cent in the price of that delivery. The
improved demand was largely the result
of reports of wet weather in Argentina,
where harvest operations are now under
way. A heavy snow had fallen in Kansas
and Oklahoma, but the market failed to
respond to his influence. At the opening
lily, and the price quickly advanced to
s.. 1875. Minnea polls, Duluth and Chicago
reported receipts of loss cars, against LOGS
cars year ago.
CORN-Liberal receipts and an easier
tone of cables were responsible for q weak
corn market. May opened 1sG14c to AQ3sc
lower, at 451s@45Ac, and sold off to 45@
451sc.
OATS-Weakness of corn had a depress-
ing influence on the oats market. May
opened a shade to &c lower, at 307sc to
PROVISIONS-Iiquid due to heavy
receipts of hogs and to lower prices at the
yards, caused weakness in provisions.
May pork was down 21A05c, at 1910. Lard
