Trouble About Freiqhts.

Local merchants are complaining
very loudly about the trouble Of get
ting freights, especially over the
Southern railroad. 1t Is stated that no
local freight was delivered at YOrkville
during a period Of four days last week.
and several business men, including
Mr.. b. N. Moore, chairman of the rail-
road committee OF the Commercial
club, took occasion to write letters OF
complaint. Mr.. Moore addressed his
letter to Superintendent Heether, and
from the tone of Mr.. Heethers letter,
1t would seem that while he Is aware
of a very regretable situation, he does
not know of any way by which he can
help himself. He states that the
freight traffic has been increasing not
only at Yorkville, but ut all other
points on his division and the Increase
has been so rapid that it has been i'm
possible to provide the necessary cars.
Mr.. Heether says his road is bending
it's efforts to give the people the best
service possible.

chief among which is selling whisky
and pitting game chickens, RObt. r.
Thomasson, who was banished from
selling whisky, is according to infor-
nation received ut this office, prepar-
ing to engage i'm cock-pitting on a larg-
er scale than ever. 1t will be recalled
that for several years, Thomasson con-
Quoted a cockpit about three miles
east of Rock Hill, and despite several
efforts of the law to break up the in
stitution, 1t continued to flourish until
it was proven that the proprietor had
been handling whisky as Il side line
and was made to leave the state for
two years as Il punishment for the lat
ter offense. Thomasson moved about
the middle of January, this year. to
the plantation of Mr.. II. II. Bales, just
over the line into Mecklenburg county,
took up farm work and, so far as Is
known, has been living the life of an
ordinary farmer. But Thomassons
mind and ear was on the alert and he
has studied out IL plan whereby he be-
lieves he can continue operations in
this state and reside I'm North Caro-
lima. Thomasson's plan, according to
what the reporter learns from reliable
parties. Is To erect cockpit on the
line between the two states, have the
building so arranged that the chickens
will be cooped i'm North Carolina and
the pit proper will be in South Car
olina. He will put in his time in or
dering" the chickens, while another,
not an exile will pit the cocks. The
building will be large and roomy
one, with a sufficient number OF coops
to accommodate large number OF
chickens. Besides this there are to be
rooms for sleeping, eating, etc. The
location of the pit will be in dense
pine thicket on the JEFF Wilson place,
which lies partly In the Gold Hill
section of this township and Steele
Creek section of Mecklenburg. TO be
absolutely certain that the building Is
on the line, Thomasson has had a sur
Vcyor to visit the place, make survey
of the premises, and has erected stakes:

dred yards each way. Orders for the
material with which to erect the build
ing have beeh placed and it Is Thom-

change firm which has undertaken to en-
force the rights of the holders of odd
lots of ST. Paul stock to their full quota
of the new stock issue and who on Sat
urday last began suit to compel the conf
pany to recognize the claims of the small
stockholders, today issued the following
statement:
white & Blackwell announce that they
have been informed by their counsel that
adjourned for one week on an agree
ment with Mr.. Pendleton and Mr.. Horn
blower for the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul railroad, and that Mr.. Miller
to the board of directors that they take
such action as will allow all holders OF
odd lots to subscribe for their fractional
shares, and that warrants will be issued
for such fractional rights. 1t is part of
the stipulation that present stockholders
shall be entitled to subscribe or to sell
their subscriptions without prejudice TO
their right to reserve additional warrants
for their fractional shares"
Justice Davis Saturday issued an order
against the Chicago, Milwaukee and ST.

1t has been proven that the danger Sig
nal at Takoma Park, short distance
from the place of the accident, was set
when the train of empty passengers cars
passed. The train was going al the rate
of sixty miles an hour, and Engineer Hill
debrand stated that on account OF the
heavy fog ne could not see the signal HIS
train ran into the Frederick train just as
II was pulling out of Terracotta, where
it had stopped to take on four or hve
passengers, two of these being among the
killed.
Both Engineer 1lildebrand and the fre-
man of the train of empties were arrested
and brought to Washington,
About 800 worlSmen are engaged in clear
ing away the wreckage. All traffic on the
division has been stopped.
One of the worst features of the catas-
trophe was enacted at the station OF
Terracotta. A large number of passen-
gers were waiting to take the train into
the city when the collision occurred. or
the large number only two escaped, the
remainder were either killed by being
thrown under the train or injured by
flying pieces of wreckage.
Father Southgate of Brookland reached
the disaster early and administered to the
suffering
