1t was indeed sad news to us,
yet not surprised, to hear of the
death of Mrs. Mollie F. Allen,
wife of Mr.. Fred Allen of this
place. Her death has been daily
expected for a good long while.
So on Wednesday a little before
twelve o'clock the end came.
Though we have all hopes of the
change from life unto death be-
ing a sweet change, she clung
to life and family Of course, as
long as she could. But when
she found it was the Lords call,
she calmmly submitted to His
will and called each one of her
children that was present to her
bedside for their last goodbye.
She had many friends, who did
not worry in helping to make her
last days her happiest ones. She
was a good mother, age about AZ
years. May her good influence
take her place at home. and guide
the children all of them their lives
just as she would have them so.
The family wishes to extend to
their good neighbors their heart
felt thanks for kindness during
her sickness. What is home!
without a mother.
The many friends Of Mr.. S. G.
Hamlin will rejoice to know he is
much improved, he being one Of
the grandest young men that
ever adorned an earthly setting.
Hope the grip will soon blow
over, and let US have in its place
our good old Sunday school, and
Wednesday night prayer meet
ings again. DREAMER.

mr.. REAMS GOES TO RALEIGH.
Many Changes TO Take Place In Rail-.
road Circles as Result Of Move.

Mr.. Samuel H. Reams, who
has been the efficient agent for
the Seaboard road here for a
number of years, is to leave Dur
ham. He has been transferred
to the Raleigh agency and will
leave to take up his new work
on Monday. The fact that he is
to leave here will be heard with
general regret by our people.
Mr.. Allen, who has been the
agent for the Seaboard in Raleigh
for a long number of years, has
been i'll lately and the road is to
place him in a position that will
give easier work. This left a
vacancy there and Mr.. Reams
was transferred from Durham to
Raleigh and will take charge of
the Raleigh office on next Tues
day, leaving here on Monday.
How long Mr.. Reams is to re-
main in Raleigh is not known,
but it is thought that the position
will be a permanent one, as he
has been in the service of this
road for number of years, is a
fine railroad man, understands
his business and how to deal
with the public, and it is more
than probable that the road has
a better position for him.
. This change has resulted in
several other changes being
made. Mr.. r. L. Montgomery
will succeed Mr.. Reams as agent
in Durham; Mr.. Fred Markham
will take his place as assistant
agent, and Mr.. ]. w. Davis sue
ceeds Mr.. Markham as cashier.
For sometime Mr.. Henry Owens
has been in Raleigh assisting in
the work there and he will re-
turn to the Savannah Office, from
which he was sent when he went
to the Raleigh Office. All of
these changes go into effect the
first of next week.

Railroads Must Pay Heavily for
Violating Law.
Neglect to Unload Cattle After
TWenty-FOur Hours.
ONE ON SEVEN COUNTS
This Is the Rock Island Rail
way Company.
Santa Fe and Nj. TX. & L. the
Others Affected.

| Five thousand dollars in fines will
be assessed against the Chicago, ROCK
Island & Pacific, Santa Fe and the
I Missouri Kansas & Texas Railroad
| companies for a violation OF the 2S
hour shipment law if the suits filed
today by Assistant United States At
| torney West will be decided favorably
for the government.
The twenty-eight hour. law is famil-
iarly known as one which r. provides
| against cruelty to cattle by long con-
hnement in cattle cars without un-
/ loading for feeding and watering. Con-
gress last year passed a law which
provided that twenty-eight hours
should e the maximum length of time
that cattle could be left in cars in
transit without unloading for feeding
and watering.
Since the first of the year numerous
| suits have been filed against the rail-
roads at the instance of the depart
ment of agriculture which has special
agents out investigating conditions and
which also acts upon complaints filed
by shippers themselves.
In the present suits filed today the
Rock Island seems to be the greatest
offender for a suit aggregating seven
counts with a maximum penalty OF
$500 for each count is filed while the
Santa Fe escapes with one or two
counts and the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas with one count. This is the
filed against the latter company.
The shipments mentioned in the
counts against the Rock Island are:
Eleven cars of cattle. shipped by
Chase & Huddleston of North Fort
Worth and unloaded for the first time
at wichita, "a hours following the
first loading. for feeding and watering.
Sixteen head of cattle shipped from
Apache, Okla, by H. B. Meyer, with
Kansas City as destination, unloaded
for feeding and watering SO hours fol-
lowing first loading.
Forty-five head of cattle from Foss,
Okla, destined for Kansas City, I'M
loaded for feeding and watering at
Wichita Al hours following the first
loading.
The same shipper, F. A. Whitenack,
shipped rs hogs and g cattel to Kan
sas City on same date and the Hrst
feeding and watering took place after
expiration of forty-one hours.
r. Y Terry of Mangum. Okla,
shipped rs hogs and 8 cattle to Kan
City, and it is charged that first un-
loading of the cattle took place after
the expiration of 80 hours at vienna,
Two other charges exist of the same
nature for shipments originating from
It Is charged in the suit filed against
the Santa Fe that two shipments
originating at Lamar were kept on the
road for 80 hours before they were
given water and feed at Emporia. The
Shipments were made by Matt Far
nam and NJ. ]. Lyons and were des-
tined to EmpOria.
In the suit against the katy" it is
claimed that 267 head of cattle be-
longing to Kincaide & Blewett OF
Uvaldee Texas, were shipped from San
Antonio and destined to Chicago. They
were unloaded at Parsons, Kan, for
the first time 81 hours later.
