LIGHT ON OTHER SIDE.
Some Philantbropic Work Of the
Unions.

The fraternsl and beneficial feat
ures of the International Typograph.-
cal Union are many and varied. New
phases of these sterling trade union
traits are constantly coming to light,
writes a Bostoa correspondent.
As an illustration, a printer recently
met with a severe accident, and his
death followed. The man was identi-
fed by his union card, and, the officers
of the Boston local Immediately took
charge of the body, made all neces-
Isary arrangements for the funeral
(the member having no relatives
there), ascertained his religious faith
and had a minister of that church Off
ciate at the burial, which was largely
attended by printers and members Of
the Woman's Auxiliary to the typo
graphical union, who accompanied
the departed brother to his last rest
Ing place. After the funeral his effects
were shipped to his relatives in Eng
liand. All expenses were paid from
the International and local death bene
| At fund.
Another somewhat similar case fol-
lowed shortly afterward, and was
treated in the same manner, which
goes to show that the same course =
pursued in every instance. In this
case the member died from natural
causes, but rather Unexpectedly. As
| be had no relatives In this country,
the typographical union provided
burial. closed up his affairs and for
warded his property to relatives. The
services were largely attended by his
fellow workers, and the beautiful.
floral tributes attested the esteem in
which he was held. He had been q
prominent member of the local union
To prove that these brotherly acts
are not confined to the well known
members. however, the case of poo
unfortunate, who died from linger-
ing disease, during which he was
visited and eomforled by members OF
the woman's auxiliary, may be noted
At his death the union officials as.
sumed full charge of all arrange
ments, financial and otherwise, aud
,, his funeral services were as largely
ATTENDED and as much regret shown
at his death as had characterized that
of the members who had been more
fortunately placedi

A REDUCTION
WAS ORDERED
FLORIDA GROWERS ASSOCIATION
WINS OUT OVER ATLANTIC
COAST LINE.

Washington, Aug 3-The interstate
commerce commission today in an
opinion prepared by Commissioner
Prouty, announced its decision in the
complaint of the Florida Fruit and
Vegetable Shippers Protective Asso
citation against the Atlantic Coagt
Line and others.
The commission found that the all
rail rate on oranges and pineapples
from Florida shipping points to Flor
ida base points was not unreasonably
high. Car load rates on such articles,
however, from base points to north
eastern cities was unreasonable and
the commission declined to establish
car load rates by rail and water.
The present straight water rates on
vegetables from these points were
found excessive and lower maximum
rate was ordered put in force Wheth-
er a lower car load rate viii be or
dered is left unsettled
The commission further ordered
that the rate on Strawberries from
Florida points to ,New York not ex-
ceed $3.50 per crate in car loads Of
175 crates. The refrigeration charges
were found not excessive.

The LOWEST
RATES
PECULIAR CONDITION BROUGHT
ABOUT IN THIS STATE BY THE
DECISION RENDERED BY JUDGE
SPEER.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. ST have not
a thing to say either regarding Judge
Speer's decision Or the rullngfof the
interstate commerce comhisslcn,' -
said Judge Samuel G.. MeISendon, of
the Georgia railroad combustion to
a paper correspondent today, when
shown dispatches relative to rulings
on increased rates on hay, grain, meat
and other food products to southeast.
ern states. when the final decision
lis given is time enough for the Geor-
gia railroad commission to act"
The effect of the decision of judi
ISpeer is peculiar. In Georgia, an in
Junction remains in force, prohibiting
the increase of rates on the commod-
Iities in question while in other states
in the southeastern territory, includ-
ing FloI--a, Alabama, Mississippi
and Louisiana, the courts have not
acted and the railroads were at lib
Ierty to increase rates on August l..
1t was this situation that led the roads
IaiIected-and there are a dozen or
mure--to seek relief frcm the inter-
state commerce commission by ask
ing an order for permission to rescind
Or modify the proposed increases
throughout the southeastern territory
This, the interstate commerce COM
mission refused to allow. AS result
the roads stand in the position of be-
ing compelled to give Georgia lower
rates than other states or violate the
order of Judge Speer, or cf refusing
to obey the order of the commission
TO put their rates into effect.
The railroads took the position
that by obeying the order of Judge
Speer they would discriminate against
other states. North and South Caro-
lima also came into the queer situation.
1t was feerly stated here today that
the whole situation seems to hinge on
the question whether or not the law
gives the interstate commerce COM
mission or the federal courts jurisdic-
ton over the question of rates under
the Hepburn bill. Judge Speers deci-
sion had the effect of giving Georgia
lower rates than any other state and
this resulted in an appeal to the com
mission in Washington The whole
situation at present seems to be that
rates to Georgia will be lower than
those to Alabama, Florida, North and
South Carolina.
1t is expected, according to advices
here, that a hearing on the matter
will be given in Washington before the
interstate commerce commission scma
time early this week, with a view TO
harmonizing the situation.

CRIMINALS ARE
HEtI'Y FINED
IN CITY COURT
TRIBUNAL WAS CONVENED IN
REGULAR AUGUST SESSION
YESTERDAY.
Two Negroes, Convicted of Selling
Whiskey, Sentenced 20 Serve IL
Months or Pay Fine of $500.
Other Cases.

Judge Krauss conevened the city
court in regular August term yester-
day morning at o'clock 1t was de-
cided to take UP the criminal docket
sid dispose of all of the jail cases
and then adjourn tn court until the
first Monday in September.
Several very interesting cases were
disposed of during the day. Two of
the negroes who were recently arrest
ed by Special Officer Carroll, charged
with selling whiskey in the city,
were given a trial, anu both of them
were convicted and heavy fines i'm
posed.
The two negroes tried were William
Owens and Nose Terrell Both of
them went before a jury with their
cases, and verdict of guilty was re-
turned against them.
Judge Krauss, in sentencing the two
negroes made talk to them concern
ing the new prohibition law, and he
then announced that the negroes could
either pay a fine of $500 or serve
twelve months on the county chain
gang. This was the full limit. 1t is
evidenr that the city court judge is 60
ing to deal severely with all persons
convicted of violating the law, wheth-
er they are white or colored. In the
seS eral cases which have been tried
before him he has given heavy SEN
tences.
Other cases tried during the day
! :. sps the following:
Frank Shot, larceny, plea of guilty;
sentence, three months or a fine of
$50 to include costs.
Sam Peterson, larceny, plea of
guilty; sentence, three months or a
fine of $50 to include costs.
Charles Collins, larceny plea CT
guilty; sentence, nine months or a
fine of $780,
Eugene Jackson, larceny verdict of
guilty; sentence, six months or fine of
$50.
These were all of the Jail cases and
mostly because of the unusually hot
weather, the court recessed until Sep

NEGRO HELD Up BY
Two OTHERS At
CROSSING
SAMPSON WAS COVERED IN GEN.
UINE WESTERN STYLE AND OR
DERED TO HANDS UP BY THE
ROBBERS.

A genuine western hold-up occurred
cut near the four-mile crossing yes.
lterday morning, when two Mnknown
negroes covered another of their race.
Sampson by name, with revolvers, and
demanded that he surrender all the
cash he had, took his coat, and then
|ordered him to go, and, it is useless
to say, he went
From accounts CT the hold-up Samp-
son was perfectly willing to give up
his money and his coat and anything
else that he had in order to escape
with his life. The barrels of the guns
with which he was covered, looked
awful dangerous to him, and when he
was finally uncovered and released
he lost no time in hiking to the woods.
Sampson was going along whistling
near the crossing when the two un-
known negroes made their appear
ance. He was quickly covered with
two ugly-loowing weapons and told to
hands up which he did without
any hesitancy. The two negroes then
proceeded to relieve him of what cash
he had. They found $11.65, and then
decided that the coat which the negro
wore was very good looking one
and demanded him to pull it off, which
he did. The hold ups then relieved
their victim and he came near losing
his shoes in leaving the scene.
Later in the day Sampson came to
Brunswick and reported the case to
the police. He did not know either of
the negroes and was not able to give
a very good description of them.
