One Hob Allen was convicted in Georgetown last week of steal-1 ing a ltbutt-head goat*' and sent to the penitentiary lor one year. Tiie sea-coast animal must be radically different from the Hillie j butter of the Piedmont. Up here, the man who steals a bu?t head j goat, whiskers and all, is regard-, ed as a public benefactor, provided be carries t be w hole outfit over across the North Carolina line Dr. Daniel, of Austin. Texas, in his annual presidential address before the A inerican Internation , al Congress of Tuberculosis. a| few days ago, declared thai con j sumption is sprea 1 a* churches. I Is that the rea-on so many of j Lancaster'.- sinners absent them-1 selves from church < We doubt \ it. If u circus should come along the last 'ne ol them would be | found crowded under the canvas; like coons at a corn shnckin'. A dead snake was found last Saturday on the sidewalk in Last Knd, next to "Squire Moore's place. No inquest was held, as it was evident that his snakeship had lost his lite in trying to make his way through the myriads ol huge stones that una lorn the pavement relerred to. The head of the serpent was cru-lied beneath a mighty boulder, which j must have su Idenly toppled ovei on it as it wiggled along that "rough road to travel." li Conn oil doesn't want all the snakes in tlie country killed if had better have those rocks crushed and coateu over with san'J. THE PRESENT RAILROAD SERVICE The whole country is kicking against the highly unsa'isfactory service the railroads are giving the public, both in the matter ot belated passenger trains and delay in freight delivery. The situation everywhere seems to be serious and the people are becoming impatient to see improv ed conditions. As we have had occasion to state before, the excuse of the railroads is that they are unable to obtain additional rolling stock fast enough to meet the demands of a rapidly increasing volume of business. That ?h no doubt tri?e 90 far as the handling of treigh' is conceruel, and possibly to some ex'ent the passenger business, but it does not satisfactorily explain why passenger trains day af'er day, week alter week and month after mon'h are run behind schedule ;ime. Why not change schedule? to c onterra to estab ished ripiuing capacity of trains? Upon this point the Atlanta Journal says: If we may be permitted to suggest, the railroads ought to lo something to relieve the si*u atiou. 11 they cannot make the schedules, then they ought to change the schedules. Why have a schedule,when the average ruu uiug time is anywhere from two o eight hours late? Why not compromise the situation, if neccessary, bv adding a sufficient number of hours to the running time, and then maintain the chedu'es? If the trouble is noi *ith the schedules.but wiih their incompetent or indifferent officials, then, in the name of com mon sense, let the railroads nm somebody in c harge with sufli cient capacity to operate these trains somewhere in the neigh borhood of the aiivertised running time. The present mode o operation is a farce, and to ad*, to the grievances of the public these railroads have a custom where their trains are late, o posting upon the bulletin boar?l< that they are about one houi late, when they know, or oughi to know, that in all probability the train will be four, five or si> hours late in arriving. There is neither justification nor excuse lor delaying the public in the outrageous manner that they d< and then deceiving them by post ing false bulletins as to the time oI arrival ot fains. The Journal goes on to sug legislation to correct exhtim troubles, in c?%e railroads dc not voluntarily dc so. Mr. William Heck )i am. o Oraiureburg.
