Saturday, April 21, 1906. The United Stales Supreme Court rendered a decision thi* week sustaining the constitutionnlity ot Georgia's law prohibiting Sunday freight trains. The court also dismissed, a day or two ago, ihe appeal of the noted Kawl ings, convicted ot murdering the Carter children in Georgia. The destruction of San Francisco by earthquake and tire follows closely upon the recent terrible earthquakes on the island of Formosa and the devastating volcanic eruptions of Mount Ve suvius. There are evidently unusual and extraordinary disturbances t4going on," as some one expresses it, in the interior of the earth, and where the next outbreak will occur no man knows. The South Carolina delegation in Congress is woming hard in the interest of the rural mail service in this State. Representatives Lever and Aiken have both made strong speeches on the subject during til ? past lew days. Mr. Lever arraigned the post office department tor discriminating against the South in the establishment of i ural free deiiv ery routes. Mr. Aiken is endeavoring to get the pnv of carriers increased to $840. a year. Sonants Tillman ami Hopkins had a lively tilt in the Senate Thursday over the recent bank failure in Chicago. Tillman charged the Illinois Sena'or with l aving used his official position to shield the Chicago bank ofBcia'p. Mr Hopkins retaliated by accusing Senator Tillman and ins 'State of suppressing 'lie ne gro vote. He also charged Till man with fnv 'ring the lynching of negroes. The coloquy became so hitter that the Senators had to he called to order. THE SANFRANCISCO EARTHQUAKE All humanity stands today appalled at the awful calamity that has befallen San Francisco and neighboring towns. But only those who have experienced the inexpressible terror of an earth quake and have witnessed con llagrations can have anv cone lion of the horror mid ihe in nitude of the present disaster Usually the first rtpotts of 3 calamities are greatly exagg< ted, hut in this instance later counts show that not even has the worst been told. Ma many thousands are now hoi less and 011 the verjte of sla? tion, tind relief cannot be exte cd too quicklv. Congress has appropriate! million dollars lor the suffer and homeless 111 California cit New Yorkers have conlribu hall n million, and in m.inv ci anil (owns throughout the Uni States are funds being rapi raise'! lor the relief of those fortunate people. The goyer of (Georgia has issued a pro' illation calliug on the citizen that State to contribute moi and supplies, and his exam will no doubt be followed b.v chief executives of other c< monwealths. We trust tlia movement will at once be star in Lancaster to extend aid to sufferers. 'OLD NEWSPAPER MAN DIS PEARS."
