MUST GET RAILROAD TICKET.
Supreme Court Holds Road Has
Right to Enforce Rules.

That the railroads now have the
right to enforce their regulations re-
garding the exchange of mileage for
tickets is held by the court OF ap-
peals in a decision in the case of
Perry against the Atlantic Coast
Line from Thomasville
Perry was elected from a train be-
cause the conductor declined to ac-
cept the mileage in lieu of a ticket.
1t appears that Perry boarded the
train at Brinson at night, the ticket
office not being opened in the even
ing. He requested the conductor to
pull mileage to ThOmasville, whel e
the ticket office was open. He did
not get off at Thomasville, nor did
he buy or exchange his mileage for
ticket. At brownsville he request
ed the conductor to pull mileage to
Boston, Ga. This the conductor re-
fused to do, and when Perry declined
to pay cash he was elected from the
train.
Then he brought suit for damage
against the road, and it was non
suited in the lower court. This the
court of appeals upheld, because ii
declares that there is no state law
or rule of the railroad commission
regulating mileage books. Therefore
the buyer accepts the conditions laid
down by the road when he purchases
such mileage, and the roads have
every right to enforce the agreement

MAJOR PICKETT DIES AT SEA
Figured in Very Interesting Civil
War Incident Soon After His APP
nearanCe in the World.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Major Geo.
e. Pickett of the army pay corps
died on board a transport en- route
from Manila to Nagasaki. Major
Pickett was returning from tour
of duty in the Philippines. He was a
son of the famous confederate gener-
al who led the charge in the battle
of Gettysburg. Major Pickett enter
ed the army in May, 1898, at the
outbreak of the Spanish war as a
paymaSter in the volunteer service.
He had been in the regular army
since February, 1901. He was born
in Virginia on July II, 1864.
Major Pickett shortly after his ap-
pearance in the world figured in an
interesting civil war incident. Mrs
La Sale Corbello Pickett, his moth
er, who lives in Washington, record
ed it three or four years ago in Nc
Clure's Magazine. Grants army was
facing the cOnfederates in the Will
derness when the following occurred
as related by Mrs. Pickett :
Gen. Grant had been dear friend
of my soldier Gen. Pickett) ever
since the Mexican war. At the time
our first baby was born the two arm
les were encamped facing each other,
and they often snapped tobacco and
coffee under flags of truce. On the
occasion of my sons birth bonfires
were lighted in celebration all along
Pickett's line. Grant saw them and
sent scouts to learn the cause. When
they reported he said to Gen. In
gals: Haven't we some kindling
wood on this side of the line? Why
don't we strike light for the young
Pickett?' In little while bonfires
were flaming from the federal line.
A few days later there was taken
through the lines baby's silver ser
vice engraved: To George E. Pickett,
Jr., from his fathers friends, U. S.
Grant, Rufus Ingalls,, George Suck
ley.

TOUCHED A TURKS CHIN.
And for That Reason a German Col
OneI Wash Shot Dead.

Some Prussian army drill methods
do not appeal to the Turkish soldiers.
This was demonstrated recently
" hen the German Colonel Won
SchliChting, instructor to the Otto
man army, was shot dead on parade
at Ytldiz Kiosk by young Albanian
soldier, Hadji Bairam, because the
German, in correcting the faulty pose
of the soldiers head, touched his
chin with his riding whip.
Unfortunately for the colonel he
did not know, or remember, that to
touch Mussulman' chin is a grave
offense from a religious viewpoint.
1t is by the beard of the prophet or
his own beard that he swears allie
glance and makes his VOWS and
promises. According to Turkish
general an Albanian would kill his
own father if he laid hands upon his
sons head in so disrespectful a man
ner.
| For a Mohammedan military ser
vice is simply a religious duty, and
it implies a voluntary submission to
discipline; but Turkish officers know
better than to touch their men rude
| ly or even to bark at them in the ap-
| proved Prussian fashion.
Of course it was a regrettable mis-
understanding, and the sultan sent a
telegram to the kaiser to express his
sorrow, and an imperial Ottoman
prince and three Turkish ministers
followed the victims hearse to the
cemetery; but in the interests of dis
cipline the murderer had to die de-
spite an appeal for a reprieve from
the colonels widow
He was shot by ten men of his own
battalion, and when he was asked
before the execution if he repented OF
the deed he replied twice in firm
voice MOI"

Game Warden L. D. Lockhart Of
Sumter county is getting ready TO
camp upon the trail of the many fla
grant violators of the fish and game
laws here, and more particularly the
fishermen. as it is at this season that
the laws are openly violated. War
den Lockhart's complaint is that
many parties are SEEMING the ponds
and creeks here in clear violation of
the law, while fish traps abound in
all the small streams. Under the
law one cannot obstruct stream
entirely with a trap, but must leave
one-third OF the width of the stream
open in order that fish may have a
slim chance to get by the trap. AL
ready he is notifying many of their
violation of the law, and those who
persist in doing so will have a chance
to explain their disobedience when

Belvidere (Del.) division of the
Pennsylvania railroad at Martin s
Creek, n. j.. eight miles north of
this city Saturday afternoon. Two
are dead and eight persons are miss
ing, and they are believed to be
dead.
Charred bones have been found in
the burned ruins of the train.
The injured number at least fifty,
some of whom, it is believed, will
die. Aside from three members of
the train crew and one male passen-
ger the missing and injured are wO-
men. The more seriously injured
are in the Easton hospital.
The train was travelling at the
rate of fifty miles an hour, and when
the locomotive struck a sharp curve
where men had been repairing the
tracks it jumped and ran along
hillside, carrying four of the five
cars with it.
Hardly had the train come to a
stop before fire started and spread
so rapidly that some of the impris-
oned passengers were burned to
death. AS the train left the track
it side-swiped and broke a tank of
oil, which ran over the wreckage and
added to the fury of the flames. The
fire broke out at both ends of the
train, hot Goals from the firebox of
the engine starting the fire at that
end and flames from the stoves in
the dining car starting the destruc-
ton at the rear.
