found guilty in the Cnlted States dis
trict court, of five counts of an indict-
ment containing 1862 counts, alleging
misapplcation of the funds of the
bank. The verdict was not guilty as
to the remainder of the indictments.
Three counts on which verdict of
guilty was rendered applied to drafts
drawn by the Cold Point Granite COM
Dany of which Mr.. Carlisle was presi-
dent and treasurer. These drafts were
paid by the Newberry National bank
and the money deposited to the ac-
count of the Granite company but
when sent out for collection were re-
turned unpaid. 1t was testified that
the granite company did not reimburse
the bank for this money. The other
two counts applied to the sale of a
bale Of cotton. the proceeds OF which
it was claimed should have gone to
the Newberry National bank, but
which il was charged were deposited
to Mr. Carlisle's personal account.

rates before they can give their men
more pay.
There is much scepticism on this
point among shippers and the general
public They entertain the belief that
the roads are merely pereeiving that
this is a good opportunity to make
their employees fight the railroad fight
for more freight income, and are act
ing accordingly.
Last year was q good one for the
railroads
The present year promises to be
even better.
Without a most positive showing to
the contrary, the argument Of the
railroad managers that higher freight
rates are indispensable If they are to
increase wages should not be viewed
too seriously.

SENTENCES FOR THE SUGAR

-Four employees Of the Sugar trust
were sentenced yesterday to one year

the utmost difficulty IN regarding these

men who invented the project OF fraud
and garnered its magnificent profits.
There has been demand for a long
time that some malefsctor Of great
power and influence should be brought
squarely 10 account The impression
has gained too wide acceptance IN this
country that there Is. not one law
for the rich and another for the poor.
but one administration OF the law for
the rich. and another and very different
one for the poor.
The energy and zeal with which
Thomas p Riley accused of stealing a
letter, has been hurried over the road
to prison. demonstrates the pOssibiIi-
ties OF prompt justice in sHcb cases.
The demonstration would be more con
vincing, however, If some of the men

receive the same prompt and vigorous
attention and be brought TO com

RAILROADS AND HIGHER PAY
FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES.

For something like two years the
railroad managers of the country have
been confronted with the problem Of
higher wages 10 their employees. The
men who are working for the roads
ksve found the growing cost of living
makes IT extremely difficult for them
TO support their families on the
wages they get.
The railroad managers respond by
saying that they cannot put up wages
unless freigb5 rates are increased
But vheT It comes to increa
freight rates the public has something
70 say Tt insists that already It Is
paying the roads an enormous freight
hill It suspects strongly IT Is paying
TOO much and IL Is not at all disposed
10 permit general advances in freights
without a fight
Moreover, IF Congress grants the ad-
ditional legislation on railroad regula-
Cion which the public wants. It viii be
in much better position than It has
been to govern rates and prevent any
undue increases

The obvious disastrous effects Of a

everyone that all possible efforts ought
TO be used TO AVOID trouble of that
kind If arbitration can be had, 1t VIII

business of increased railroad wages
