New Interstate
Railway Bill.
Passed By Congress Be
comes Law.

On Tuesday, Aug. 18th, the In
terstate railway regulation bill, en-
acted by the last congress, went in
to effect and as result several
radical changes from present Gus
toms become effective. The pub
lie, the railway companies and GER
tain individuals and classes of in
dividuals will be affected by the
law. Hereafter fr transporta-
ton or reduced transportation cam
not be granted save to certain con-
ditions specified in the bill. There
are severe penalties attached to a
violation of the conditions of the
law, applicable both to the railway
officials, or employees and to the
individual who uses prohibited
transportation or avails himself of
freight or passenger rates NOT sane
toned by the bill. There can be
no extension of time on tickets,
even in case Of illness. After that
date, naval and military officers
must pay regular fare, the same as
other travellers, instead of travelling
free, as heretofore. Families OF
clergymen must pay regular fares,
instead of enjoying the half-rate
accorded them now, but clergymen
themselves may continue to travel
on half rate.
There is general disposition on
the part of railway officials the
country over, strictly to comply
with the provisions of the bill, SO
far as they are able to interpret it.
Seldom, If ever, has there been
passed bill on which there was
so much doubt rs to the construc-
tion of its terms and so diversi-
fled opinions regarding the inten-
tions of its provisions. Inasmuch
as there are severe penalties attach
ed to failure to comply with its
terms, these penalties including
Imprisonment, there is consider
able uneasiness in railroad circles.
The interstate commission refuses
to undertake an Interpretation OF
the bill, which leaves the railway
men to grope their way rs best
they can. In answer to the re-
peated requests for light on the
meaning of the obscure or contra
dictory passages the commission
replies:
"We cannot answer any hypo-
thetical questions. If we did the
roads would accept our construc-
ton just SO far as it pleased them,
and then do as they chose. Our
advice to railroad men is to be the
best advice which their lawyers
can give them about the new law
and its meaning, and then f How

simply will undertake to enforce

United states District Attorney Skin

hearing for a new trial in the mutiny
case will come up. Of course the case
may be continued for a few days but
it will be necessary for the attorneys
to be before the court on the 18th.
his appeal is only as to Adams and
Sawyer bnt it will also affect Scott for
if a new trial is granted he will bs
given a respite so as to testify against
Adams and Sawyer. The date for the
execution is on January Goth but
should Scott be hanged and Adams
and Sawyer get a new trial there would
be no evidence whatever against Adj
ans and Sawyer. Thus is can be seeu
that a new trial Will mean hat mona
Of the prisoners vii be executed on thu
date originally named. 1t would pa
necessary for the President to respite
Scott's sentence.
But this is in case a new trial is
granted which is considered extreme!,
doubtful. Adams and Sawyer are very.
hopeful and have been from the first.

very different from Scott who has
realized for some time that there is no
earthly hope for him. He has changed
wonderfully since his trial and nov.
has but very little to say to any OF
those who are near him.
All the evidence in the case of AID

will be forwarded to Washington with

THE SERVANT PROBLEM
Southern Farm Magazine for Janu.
airy.

A southern woman visited last sum-
nier a New York town in which there
was not q single household servant.
She was the guest of a home without
a male guide, counsellor or friend.
Finding no servant, she readily, as
every southern woman can do, adjust
ed her{elf to conditions, tended her
room and helped with the dishwa ash
ing and general Homework. The
dishwashing was almost a dream, as
it had all the latest mechanical devil
ces as its handmaidens. The matter
that gave her no little concern, how
ever, in q diSinterested sort of a way,
was the washing and ironing of the
clothes. Until her first Monday morn
ing in the home she pOndered upon
their possibilities. Would someone
come in 20 do the work, would it be
given out, or would the system which
worked so smoothly in every other re-
spect be found effective there? On her
first Monday morning in the home the
mystery was satisfactorily solved. /
Have you any clothes for the wash?
asked her hostess. "Yes?" Then
bring them down into the basement"
In the basement, we'll lighted, with
whitened walls and cemented floor. she
found stationery waShtubs. These
were filled with boiling or cold water
as occasion required and in a rocking
chair before her tub she joined the Ia
dies of the house in easily operating
washing machines. The time Went
pleasantly with chat and work COM
bined. Another delightful morning
was spent in the same basement iron
ing the clothes with electrically heat
ed irons, doing away with the necessi-
ty of firing walking back and forth
between stove and ironing board. She
returned to her North Carolina home
rejoicing in the knowledge that there
is relief for the h~ousekeeper at bay
before the servant problem.-Southern

LARGE REALTY DEALS
on Foot-No Doubt About sale OF
The orion.

During the past few months there
have been many large real estate
deals made in this city and it is IN
derstood that another large one may
be announced within the mex few
days. A large deal is now on foot but
has not been contaminated. The prop
erty involved is in the business sec
ton of the city.
The largest real estate transaction
of some time past was the sale of The
orion Hotel to Messrs. J. H. and Edgar
Hinton for the sum of $50, 900. This
property belonged to b MurchisOn
estate and there were a number OF
heirs who had to sign the papers. The
papers have not been actually
transferred but there seems to be no
doubt whatever about it being done.
The price of real estate continues to
advance and despite predictions to the
contrary it does no seem TO have
