20 TONS OF GOLD
BY PARCEL POST
Immense Shipment Comes
to Sub Treasury Here
from Philadelphia.
STREET CLOSED AS
METAL Is UNLOADED
Mail Clerks Struggle with 100
Pound Sacks -- Postmaster
Gets Biggest Receipt.

Twenty tons Of gold arrived in Wall
Street by parcel post from Philadel-
phia yesterday. Consigned to the Sub
Treasury. it left the Quaker City at
noon in a car heavily guarded by secret
service men and armed messengers.
II was the first time in many years
that gold had been sent to New York
by mail. The only other instance that
could be recalled occurred many years
ago. Thomas Barker, the veteran truck
man. who has monopoly OF gold
trucking IN New York, remembered
that money once came to this city by
registered mail from San Francisco.
Yesterday was the irst time the par
sci post had been SO used. Why it was
employed neither Sub-Treasury officials.
nor Edward ". Morgan, the postmaster,
Who was personally responsible for It's
safe delivery, could say.
The money was unloaded at the
PENNSYLVANIA Terminal into seven large
automobile trucks. and. under escort OF
the secret service men who had accom-
panied il and few mounted police
men. il was taken TO the Pine =. en-
trance Of the Sub-Trcasury. For the
frs. time gold shipment was received
in way to attract attention from me
passerby. and 10 prevent any trouble
the policc closed part OF Pine st. TO
traffic. Only those having police cards
or government badges were allowed 10
pass through.
The unloading Of the gold was
tedious task for the mail clerks and
messengers. not Injured to'swinging 10
pound sacks. Each sack. sealed with
two registry locks. contained three
bags Of $4,000. More than once the
small trucks upon which they were
loaded tipped over. and 1t was difficult
to move them once they were loaded.
There was not room enough in the
shipping room of the Sub-Tressury TO
allow all tho trucks to he unloaded at
once. so. while the contents Of six were
being checked up. guards surrounded
the remaining metal and allowed tratfic
to be resumed through the street.
II was nearly i o'clock before all the
lacks had been opened. the bags count
ed and Mr.. Morgan received receipt
for the most valuable parcel post pack
age ever handled.
Resides this shipment. Wells Fargo
& 60. delivered another large consign-
mcnt 10 the Sub-Treasury during the
day The shipping end Of tho Office
recorded the delivery Of S%.s75.000 in
coin for Europe and S250,000 for
Canada.
The shipping of kegs containing gold
from various banking houses also at
tractcd the attention Of crowds during
the day. Several houses at one time
were thus engaged. The process at each
place was the same. Husky porters
rolled the kegs about just az they
would handle kegs Of nails. and with
less reverence than would he paid 10
kegs labelled -four years old"

TWO IMPORTANT CASES.

ed-Judge Gary Refuses Motion
For New Trial and Demurrer.

Judge Frank/B. Gary has decided
two matters heard by him a: the re-
cent term # tne court OF common
pleas for this county in which he re-
Sc we'd his decisions.
The moti.n of the defendant fer a
new rial il the case of Lula Mae
Davis against he Southern Railway
company was refused In tais case
Mrs. Davis was awarded verdict Of
$500 on account of being put off a
passenger train at Newberry when
sle had paid her fare to Greenvil.e.
Johnstone & Cromer, attorneys for
the railway company, asked new
trial oa TWO grounds, first because he
fireman Of the jury rode in an auto
mobile with the plaintiff and the
plaintiffs brother on the morning
that the case wen. to the jury; and
second, because the verdict was ex-
cessive. Blease & Blease are the at
torneys for Mrs. Davis It is under
stood the railroad will appeal.
The demurrer Of the defendants in
he case o: NJ. Augusta Willis, e al
sgai st C. J. Purcell & company, and
the Newberry Cotton mills was over
ruled. In this case, the plaintiffs, by
their attorneys, Messrs. Blease &
Blease, are sueing for $1,000 damages
en- account of cotton bough: by the
defendants which it is claimed -as
covered by lien of plaintiffs for rent.
Messrs. Mower & Bynr1, represent
ing the Gotten mills and Messrs. Hunt,
Hunt and Hunter, attorneys for Pur-
cell & company, interposed a demur-
rer to the complaint on several
grounds, all of which were overruled
by Judge Gary, and the case will

DI. JONES breaches
SPLENDID SERMON
NeWberry Minister Delivers FOrcefui
Discourse at First hlptiSt Church,
Greenyille.
Greenville News, 25tA.

Greenville News, 25tl.
Bef5re a large audience, who lis
tened to every word he said with i'm
ecse interest, DR.. E. Pendleton
Jones, of Newberry, preached the
commencement sermon before the
graduating class and students OF the
Furman Fitting school yesterday at
the First Baptis, church. His dis
course was clear and forceful, full
Of we'll chosen illustrations and es-
pecially appropriate and appealing to
young men.
DR.. Jones took for his text a
phrase f3uld in the 4tA chapter Of
Colossians and 5th verse, Redeem
ing .iae time" The speaker said that
tsere are three verbs which have a
very important bearing upon every
life-to be, to have, and to do, The
first thing one must do is to discover
himself. He urged the young men
to be alone with themselves I and
discover what they really are. 1t is
very important to have ideals. Some
people have no use for dreamer.
The picture of Alexander in his youth
as a dreamy laN was once criticised
but Alexander had first to dream OF
conquering world
about year ago." said DR.. Jones'
81 remember some papers were say
ing things about a certain college
president being a dreamer, an ideal
ist. Today that same dreamer is lead
ing this nation in a splendid way,
showing the result Of well planned
policies"
DR.. Jones said that the most i'm
po-tant thing today is not what we
can think but what we can do. The
world wants men who can do things.
There is no place for man who lets
creed take the place of real religion.
His sermon so forecfully delivered
made a profound impression upon all
who heard him.
