TRAIN ORDERS ARE
GOING ALTOGETHER
OVER THE iPR0hES
NO TELEGRAPH WIRES NOW IN
THE L. G. N. STATION AT
CULLEOkA.
THEiNEW SYSTEM IS ON TRIAL
Extraordinary Care Taken by the op.
orators in Receiving the Nance of
Stations and the Numbers of the
Trains.

Culleoka probably has the distinc-
ton OF being the first dispatcher's
Office on the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad from Nashville to New Or
leans from which all train orders are
sent by telephone. Telephones have
been installed at the other stations
along the lines but telegraph Offices
are also in operation. However, at
Culleoka there is now no telegraph
line and all of the train orders day
and night are received over the tele-
phone. The system has been In OPP
GRAFTON now for about two weeks and
so far has proven very satisfactory
although the operators generally
would prefer the old Morse code sys-
tenn. When they become accustom-
ed to the new method, however, 1t
is belieded that they will like it as
well as they did the old way.
With the telegraph system the oper.
ators in the Office could tell at all
times just where the trains were;
just how late they were running ana
all about the condition Of the line
All they had to do was to keep thefr
ears open to the sound of the instru
ments. Now it is all different. I'm
j less the operator sits all the time
with the receiver to his ears he knows
nothing whatever of what is passing
over the telephone line.
! The fact that Culleoka is the first
station to receive try cut on the tel
ephone alone is due to the cyclone Of
last March that destroyed the station
of the railroad. The new station was
completed about two weeks ago ant
when the wires were moved into il
from the temporary structure the tel
egraph lines were simply disconnect
ed and only the telephone was install
ed. Extraordinary care Is taken by
the operators in receiving and dis
patching train orders. Every WORD
and every train number, every station
name, all are carefully spelled bacl
and verified before message is re
ceived.

ANOTHER GLASS
BROKEN BY BLAST
WINDOW IN THE PHOENIX MA
AlONAL BANK GETS A
JOLT.

The first blast in the excavations in
the burned district on Seventh street
Monday morning broke a glass in a
window at the Phoenix National
Bank. The rock was picked up on
the walk after it fell away from the
window, and it weighed four ounces.
There were several smaller ones
struck the walks and walls on the
south side of the street.
These incidents connected with the
blasting there are sufficient evidence
that there is more or less danger to
the public in this work and there
should be extra care ON the part OF
the workmen and the public as we'll

MOTION OVERRULED
DEFENDANT GIVEN TWENTY
FOUR HOURS IN WHICH TO
MAKE BOND.
MARTIN GETS A new TRIAL
Court of the Opinion That the $1,000
Verdict Was Excessive and Not
Supported by the Facts-Other Mo-
tiona Considered.

The motion of the attorneys for the
defense for new trial for T. Nor
man Bats, convicted of murder in
the first degree and sentenced to
a term of fourteen years in the state
prison, was overruled by the court.
In the application for a new trial
there were number of exceptions
taken and alleged errors pointed out
among which was what might be con
sidered an attack on the new jury
law The special reference to this
feature was that the jury was not Sc
lected by the quarterly court in a
venire, as heretofore.
The application of the state for an
increase of the bond was granted and
the bond fixed at $4,000, and the de
PENDANT was given until Tuesday
morning to make the bond. The mat
ter of an appeal to the supreme court
will be considered when the bond is
reported on.
The motion for a new trial in the
case of Combination Cash Store
against c.. s. Jackson, all of Mt. Pleas
ant, was overruled.
Geo. w. Martin, charged with Ii
bel, against whom a verdict of $4,000
was returned in favor Of Jesse How
ell, was given a new trial ON thu
grounds that the verdict was exces
sive.
Other motions in cases of much les'

INDICTMENT FOR
KILLING OF BRADEN
GEO. OWEN AND MIKE ROBINSON
CHARGED WITH MURDER IN
FIRST DEGREE.

The grand jury at the present term
of the court returned an indictment
against George Owen and Mike Rob
inson, charging them with murder in
the first degree, and that they killed
Robert Braden, of Giles county, at
Mt. Pleasant about August 10.
Owen was brought to Columbia al
the time and placed in Jail but was
subsequently released on bail of S.,

On the return of the indictment
Owen was again arrested and placed
in Jail here Sunday, but was again
released on the same bond that was
taken before the magistrate.
Mike Robinson was also arrested
at Summertown by Deputy Griffir
Constable Burns, and he was placed
in Jail this morning.
Braden was killed on the street al
Mt. Pleasant between and 3 O'CLOCK
in the morning after night witt
the defendants, both of whom claim
that they separated from him some
time before the killing is said to have
taken place. He was shot in five diff
ferent PAGES, two shots striking hin
in the head. He was dead wher
reached by those who were aroused
by the shots and an investigation
caused the arrest of Owen at the
time. The investigation showed thai
the defendants and the deceased ha(
been gambling during the night
which was not denied by them, bu
they disavowed any trouble of any
character.

CHAFF|N'S ADDRESS
TO RURAL CARRIERS
A STRONG FEATURE
BENEFITS DERIVED FROM RU.
RAJ DELIVERY" WAS THE
SUBJECT.
RECEIVES FAVORABLE COMMENT
A Comparison of the Farmer on the
Rural Route, and His Apparently
More Favored Brother Who Lives
in the City.

One of the most interesting features
of the recent meeting of the Seventh
congressional district rural carriers in
Columbia was the address of Charles
Chaffin, the county president, who
called the meeting to order.
The subject of Mr. Chains talk
was "The Benefits Derived From the
Rural Delivery" and it was discuss
ed from every angle in most intel
ligent manner, showing that Mr.. Char
fin was not only good carrier, but a
man of more than ordinary intelli-
gence, a man who can study cause
and effect and arrive at correct con-
illusions.
He showed that the farmer was re-
ally in a much better position from a
social and intellectual standpoint than
his much Wanted city brother, from
the fact that he had the time to con-
slider his reading matter and get its
full benefits; that his children were
removed from the detrimental influ-
ences of city life and yet had other
opportunities of social and educa-
tional advancement equal to the city
He also showed that the farmers
and their families were better salts
fed to stay on the farm, their oppor'
tunities for more intelligent and pro-
gressive farming were inestimably in.
creased, and thereby there was mu,
tual advantage to the farmer and the
residents of the city.

tenn of the country and the influence

COURT GOSSIP ON SUBJECTS
OF GREAT GENERAL INTEREST

I king of Sir Charles DIlke's seat re-
minds Of how conservative. but alto
gether inadequate. the domestic arrange
ments OF that House remain. Ever since
Sir Charles Barry conceived the amazing
idea that the new House of Commons.
with seating accommodations for 300
members was good enough for twice that
number. the members have submitted TO
an undignified scramble for seats.
Once, I'm 1850. Mr.. Mitchell Henry, being
driven to the gallery, from that altitude
emplored the speaker to decide whether a
man might claim a seat for the whole
! day by placing his hat upon 1t before
prayers. or whether he might even put
upon the seat an imitation and walk at
ease elsewhere In his own headgear. The
| speaker then ruled that a member might
so claim a seat, but OF more recent years
the more dainty method of affiXing a card
has become the rule.
Now let us imagine such a condition in
the House at Washington. What the
members would do to the Speaker. II they
had to do without seats. would make the
spiciest kind Of reading for the Lon

There was a curious transformation of
names among the refugees who fiOcked
to England after their revolution OF the
Edict of Nantes. In order TO shake off
all associations with the country where
they had been so badly treated, many
OF the HuguenOts translated their names
into English, some times with a slight
alteration Of the sense. BOileau became
Drinkwater; Delamere. By-the-Sea; Joii-
femme. Prettyman: Loiseau, BIRD; Le-
fevre Smith: Dubois, Wood, and Salvage,
Savage or Wild. Some names became
so corrupted as To be unrecOgnIzable.
Chapuis became Shoppee; Beaufoy, Bof-
fin. and Conde. Cundy. Similar havoc
though on a less extensive scale. has
been played with English names in

by dropping the last letter. He was

TIME CARD FOR JUDGE.
Justices of New York supreme Court
TO Keep Record of All Procedure.

New York, Jan. 6.-Justices OF the New

such an innovation, some OF the justices
VINO work hard are welcoming the
chance TO prove to critics how many
hours they put in at judicial labor. II

The State bar association advocated
the innovation as an answer to those
incredulous people who think all a su-
preme court judge does is TO saunter
through the courthouse occasionally to
find out who wants a refereeship. The
judges agreed to permit the association
to install the time card. which is known

 Photographs of New Brunswick Trout
 William Frazer las some photo graphs of strings of trout that he caught recently while on an outing trip in New Brunswick. The pictures make mighty interesting fish story and one that is not apt to be disputed MT. Frazer struck into a flake eoun- try where the trout are exceedingly numerous and avaricious to an unbe- lievable degree. Tn one of the photo graphs MT Fraser is shown with fine string of trout and basket to hold them. He caught enough to fill the basket within a few minutes time, and then stopped fishing, as all good sportsmen do, in the region where he was enjoying himself.
