BILL IS PASSED
REQUIRES RAILROADS TO REPORT
 ALL. ACCIDzITs.
Warm Debate Over Measure in Which Sims of Tennessee Says it Gives the Corporations "Im-
 munity Bsth..

washington, Dec. ib.-The Esch bill, requiring railroad companies to report all accidents to the Interstate Com merce Commission passed the House today.
 The bill causes the commission to investigate such accidents.
 Following an explanation of the purpose of the bill by Mir. Esch a spir- ited debate ensued when Representa- tive Bartlett, (Georgia). sought to have amended section four of the measure, which provides that the re- port of any such investigation shall not be admitted as evidence or used in any action for damages. Mir. Bart let's amendment was lost.
 Mir. Simms. (Tennessee), made an intellectual attempt to have the sec- ton stricken out.
 Mir. Simms coutended that the rail- road should not be granted any such immunity bath" as Section provid- ed.
 The bill goes into immediate effect upon becoming law.
 The House also passed the bill giv- Ing the Interstate Commerce Commits sion power to compel the railroads to provide uniform equipment for their cars. It is intended to supplement- the so-called safety appliance acts."

Then he managed Nashville one season, laid off a year and came back last season with the team that won the Dixie championship.

Judges were melted with COM
passion and they finally agreed
to pay Dameron So, 900 a year.
He Immediately ceased crying
and hasn't treated his face to q
briny shower bath since to our
knowledge, at least.
He has had the laugh on the
tax payers for two years the let
of next month while many frowns
have disfigured the countenances
of the people over the deplorable
condition Of the public roads.
More or less complaint is also
made against Dsmeron because
of vexatious delays in getting
him to do surveying.
This is the caliber of the man
to whose defense the Charlton
Recorder rushes, but entirely
eludes the question at issue
Dameron's shameful neglect of
the public roads. If it is "dis.
graceful" to tell the truth, the
COURIER pleads guilty, and has
no fears of being expugned from
the good opinion OF any honest
man whether he be q Democrat,
Republican or mugwump.
In the mean time we are will.
ing for the Recorder to lick
Dsmeron's boots as long as its
ticker and Dameron's official
career as county highway engi-
neer last.
To relieve the Recorders
fears, we will say that we have
NJ "dark horse" in the field
against Dsmeron, but we do in.
sist that it is the plain duty of
the county court to give the peo.
pie more for their money tina n
"Dick" Dsmefon has given |
them during his incumbency of
the office Of Highway engineer"
One of Charlton county's
great needs is better public roads.
We have not had them under
Dameron. It is high time for q l
,hsnee. Dameron has been q
failure.

down a decision Monday affirm.
ing the case of the Charlton river
di ainage district which had been
appealed tie supreme court
on 9 writ of certiorsri, in which
it was attempted to have the
proceedings of the county court
establishing said drainage dis
trict set aside. The failure of
the supreme court TO sustain the
motion to quash the proceedings
Of the county court means that
the district as established by the
|county court will stand as no
appesi will be taken to the United
States supreme court.
We have not seen the opinion
rendered by the Missouri su-
preme court, but we understand
from information coming from
the Office of the clerk of the su.
,prsme court that the burden of
the decision is that the land
owners had waited too long to
bring suit.
We will give q more detailed
statement of the case as soon as
We can get hold of q copy of the
opinion.
So the drainage tax will have
to be paid.
Arrangements have been made
oy Roy w. Rucker, attorney for
the contestants, and John d.
Taylor tax attorney, and John
B. Shannon, county treasurer.
whereby the delinquent taxes
for 1908 may be paid without
additional costs at any time up

at 6 O'Clock p. m. If the tax is
not paid by The time stated, ad-
