whom we have met in the old |
court house, now vanished, in

gatherings of the Democratic
hosts meant in the near future a
battle royal on their part against
the black hordes then being
marshalled by the Republican
generals, who had only to say to
them do this" and it was done.

there, with new vigor sparkling
in often dimmed eye, and the old

Uniform Bill of Lading Great
Aid to Business.

A1Q 10 business.
Charlotte Observer
The uniform bill of lading,
long desired among bankers and
business men, has taken definite
shape and will go into effect No
vember 1st next. After that date
shippers may have the option of
shipping property either subject
to its provisions or under the
liability imposed upon common
carriers by the common law and
Federal and State statutes; in the
latter event paying a somewhat
higher rate. There will, howev-
er, be only this one bill, whether
it is always employed or not. 1t
has two forms, one for a
straight" bill of lading, not ne
gotiable, and the other for an
order" bill of lading, which is
negotiable. To avoid fraudulent
manipulation, different colors of
paper are used. All parts of the
straight" bill, including bill of
lading proper, shipping order and
memorandum acknowledgment,
must be on white paper; Of the
"order" bill the bill of lading
proper must be on yellow paper
and the shipping order anc
memorandum acknowledgment
on blue. Upon this uniform style
all railroads in the Trunk Line
Association have united.
The new bill has already re
ceived the sanction of the Inter
state Commerce Commission
Its adoption, says the commits
sion, will be a long step towarC
uniformity, simplicity and Ger
) tainty. 1t will likewise be a lont
step in the direction of fair deal
ing between shipper and carrier
and it may be confidently expect
ed to remove much of the confus
; ion which now exists, and t,
l measurably avoid in the futur
the irregularities and injustic
, which have heretofore occurr

A special from Johnson City
says: L. A. Bayless, a magistrate,
early to-day attacked his brother
in-law, Berney Bayless, while
the latter was asleep in bed at
his home in this city, and almost
literally chopped his head off
with an axe. He then attacked
Bayless' wife, fatally wounding
her. Turning the weapon upon
his own wife, who was in the
house, he struckherseveral blows,
inflicting probably fatal injuries.
Bayless was arrested and half an
hour later was found dead in his
cell, having hanged himself. Jeal-
ousy is said to have been the cause
of BayIess' attack.
