Various manufacturing enterpriees
in South Carolina have been
very much annoyed of late by a
habit the railroads have of confiscating
shipments of coal while en
route. In cases where the factories
have been on the point of
shutting down with coal on the1
road, the railroads have seized the
coal and coolly ndviaed the owners
that they would make it good later i
on. The legislature has sought In \
put a stop to this sort of thing by j
passing the following: "If any 1
common carrier shall convert and j
appropriate to its own use any
property of nnother held hv it on
consignment, or in course of transportation,
it hIihII be liable to the
consignee or other owner of such
property, for treble the value of
such property.1'
* * *
The bill to classify the rural free
delivery service and place the
carriers under the contract system,
which has been debated in the
House for over a week, was passed
Monday, but in a form that, completely
changed the purpose for
which it was framed. Before it I
was passed the bill was altered
radically by its opponents. All
the provisions relating to the plae
inn ol carriers under tin* contract
system wore stricken out and the
Hillary system was not only eon.
tinned, but the tnaxiniuni salary
of carriers was increased from
$500 to $600 per annum. The
uinendrneuiB to tin the salnt^es of
rural carriers at $600. was offered
by Mr. Swan son, of Virginia, and
udopted without division.
The third change in the cabinet
of President Roosevelt ocoured
Monday, when Secretary Long
submitted his resignation in a
graceful letter, it being accepted
in one equally felicitious by the
President. The change was made
complete by the selection of Representative
Wnr Henry Moody, of
$he sixth congressional district of i
Maasachusetts hs Mr. Long's successor
in the Navy Department,
Mr. Moody will assume charge of
the Navy Department on Man 1
Mr. Long will re-outer tho practice
of law.

The United States Senate has a
job on its hands with two senators
too bad to go unpunished while no
punishment is provided for but
expulsion and doughty little South
Carolina would be most apt to slap
the senate right back in the face
and send Benjamin right back if
he were expelled. The senate
would most probably he too glad
to he helped to let the situation 140.
Later we see that the president of
the senate must scold them a
little.?Concord Stardard.
We don't think any considerable
number of Americans believe with
Senator Pettua, thatj a military
guard should be provided for the
protection of the President, Military
guards are provided for the
protection of the head of every
Kuropean nation, hut they have
not prevented numerous assassinations.
A military guard would
add nothing to the safety of the
President.

Kwnng Hi have resumed tin* game
of missionary-clinging, which was
ho popular with them during the
Boxer uprising. Of course, the
game is Hcconipunieil hy a rebellion.
That lets the responsible authorities
out,
Those contemplating n European
trip will be deeply interested in
the reported break in the steam,
ship combine, and threatened rate '
war, but they are afraid to about
until there is more convincing evi- 1
deuce of the break in sight.
Colombia's attempt to get a big
slice of the price naked for the '
Panama Canal Oompuiy's concession
may be a good thing for this
country, although there wasn't
much danger that Uncle Sam would
be caught by the speculators.

A decision of Judge A. C. j
