..... The suit of Mr.. Sam c. Walker,
administrator Of the estate Of Julius
Beckham, deceased, against the Allan
tic Coast Line railway. was heard at
Florence last week and resulted in
verdict for the defendant company.
Beckham lost his life at Wilson, N c.,
in the summer of 1905, while in the
employ of the company. Mr.. Walker
asked for $4,000 damages. A. L. Gas
ton, Esq, represented the plaintiff. -.
Postmaster Dunovant has been in
formed that the government will insti-
tute free city delivery in Chester as
soon as the streets are correctly mark
ed and numbered. The system In
vogue in cities where there is free de-
livery is for the names Of the streets
to be posted at each corner. The num-
bering Of each street must also be
separate and independent; that is to
say, there must be a starting point on
each thoroughfare at which the num-
bering begins, making the numbering
of each street an exact duplicate OF
every other street. Mayor Hardin has
been seen with regard to the matter,
and he states that he will take up the
matter with the city council. 80. Mr..
l. L. Reading was released from jail
Saturday evening and Immediately
boarded No. 80 on the s. A. L. for parts
unknown. The bond Of $3.50 was fur
nished partly by Chester people and
partly by relatives Of Mrs. Reading.
The terms on which the release was
effected included restitution to the Buff
falo Lick Springs Co., so far as Mr..
Readings personal effects will go. Mr..
L. D. Childs states that evidences of
further defalcation are cropping out,
and he is satisfied that the stolen funds
will aggregate $4,000. Mr.. Readings
flight completes the final chapter in
very sad story. 1t is hoped, however,
by the many friends that ne made in
Chester that he will go elsewhere and
with his splendid abilities make
made here.
