wise, we do not believe in
wreaking vengeance upon them
through the medium of the
courts. They are entitled to as
much protection under the law
as The individual. A juror, for in
stance, is sworn to decide the
issues submitted to him accord
ing to the law and the evidence,
and that oath is just as binding
in case where corporation is
a party TO the suit as it is in an
action where the litigants are in
dividuals. Precouceived opin.

arguments of counsel should cut

example, full well where the
thousands of dollars a a rail-
road tax" the people o, this
county are now paying goes. He
knows that the money goes to

OF the railroads in the county.
Whether the people vo'ed wisely
or lot Is no longer question.
The writer makes charges
against the local road, the l.. &
G which we do not believe that
ne can sustain. He certainly
IN error when he states that the
present owners "only paid
SIS, 900 in cash for this road"
According TO our recollection
the road was sold in Chester at
at public auction and was pur
chased, mainly by Lancaster
merchants, at The sum Of $4,000.
1t had been offered for sale, under
order of court, on two previous
occasions, when no bids at all
were made for the property. If
it had been worth more than the
purchasers paid for it, Why was
II that there were no other hi j
ders? The sale was public and
had been extensively advertised.
Our correspondent seeks to pro-
duce the impression that the
"preSent owners" arA making
money. We hope that they are,
for they deserve success. Had it
not been for the "present owners"
the merchants Of Lancaster, the
road today would have been
naught but "two streaks of rust
and right of way" They took
hold of the property when no
body else would have it, rehabil
itated it, broadeDed the gauge,
built new bridges aud trestIes,
improved the roadbed and
bought new rolling stock. Il was
made a bone enterprise, and we
all know what a potential factor
1t has proven to be in The up
building of Lancaster.

done so and the constrgctioH placed By
counsel for Mr.. Fish upon the foreign

Teacher in the City High School al

for the summer. In September she
will 60 to Forsyth, Ga, having
been rendered similar position in
the schools to that which she held
in this city, but differing in the
point of salary to the effect that
the Georgia school has made Miss
Miller very generous offer. Miss
Miller is an accomplished teacher
and a lady of the highest character
and attachments. She does not
teach what is ordinarily termed
elocution. That subject has been
made the object of so much ridicule
that it has been properly con-
demned to an unlettered past. But
Miss Miller's is the higher art Of
the study of literature, and its de-
lineation through the means of In
telligent expression. She trains
the child to understand the subject,
it's history and bearings, and then
to communicate its value to others.
It there is any other branch of edu-
cation which does more to enrich
the mind, it is beyond our knowl-
edge. Miss Miller has made life
study Of her work. and is not only
accomplished innind, but in every
way she is gifted for the calling.
There are scores Of good friends
here who sincerely and heartily
wish her unbounded success and
happiness.
