A man who was locked up in Hie Jury rom for two hours died from micotihe'poisoning, und he hud never used tobacco In his life. This upholds Senator Tillman in his plea for no i Bmoking. Louisiana doesn't care for the po nies. That has always been consid ered the most "liberal" state lu tho country on moral issues, but lt re fuses to have the crooked horse races that Charleston enjoys. We feel that Anderson mnde a mis take not to adopt a commission form ot government and we trust that the incoming council will have Hie legis lature to pass lawa preparing the way for a first class form of lt for An derson, the.best city in the country. KXIT TRAIN AUDITOR The Southern Railway Company is tiring of the system of ticket collec tions introduced about two years ago. Judging from recent reports. Accord ing to information carried in rumor, the department pf train auditors haa released G5 of the 165. men carried on ibo pay rolls as ticket takers. These discharges occurred on the'first of Sin. . 4 June,, ?uni th? reports current ur? lo tho effort that Um other IOU will ho r? I ie veil nf iluiy in ...hurt order. Tim experiment with the train au ditors was made originally with the intention ol giving Hie plan a two-year try-oout. it was slated, and the Judg meiil of I hose in uuthority UH lo its sueeess was to he framed <m he pro ceeds from passenger traille. Should then?' proceeds lie greater than in the similar preceding period, making al lowance for (he natural estimated in crease nf husiliess on the system, il was understood that tin- scheme would pave heeii branded worth while. The M lii i accorded thc conductors of railroad irains was given as a con sideration for the institution of the new order of things, but il was not argued as a prime n ason tor Hie use of the ticket collectors, according to the report, ami ii is now understood that Hu- Soul beru is planning lo re turn lo the previous manner of opera ting Hie trains and collecting fares with tin- coiidilclors only on the job, lt has been staled that the new ex ecutive of the road. President Fairfax Harrison, made the statement that in ten years he could finish Hie dou ble tracking of Hu- main Hue of the entire system with tin- appropriation u led for ticket eui lections. This ap propriation annually to the new de partment was $'100.000 and in ten years this would a.nut to $'1.000,000 plus Hie increase by interest on ils invest ment otherwise. Thia sum would cer tainly go fur toward carrying out thu ambition which Hie president ls said to liave expressed. Relieved ticket takers, paid off less than ten days ago and given trans portation to their homes, are quoted as saying that their chief. Captain Hunt of Atlanta, assigned Hie .slack truveltag of the Henson as the reason for their dismissal. As far as is now known none ol' I hem was given any hope of fun her employment, however, and railroad men, not in position to know hut close enough to shrewdly guess, have surmised that the real intention ls to relieve practically all. if not all. ticket takers and to dis continue the doubling up system. This would mean, it has hoon said, that more conductors would he given employment, and possibly on several of the more crowded trains of the main line, two men would run. This would apply to the popular trains, the sections of No. ?IS and others. The crowding of these (raina are said to make the work of ticket collectors di Hi cn lt for even young men; und nearly all ot the conduc tors are middle-aged men. who have spent their youth in climbing from thc lowest ranks to the position of more responsibility. Whether the system of employing ticket collec.iors hus made the treas ury fuller than it would have other wise been or not, tt has heen said that Mr. Harrison's aT'efyid promise of double-tracking from the suving in that department, hus made a powerful appeal to the company's stockholders. On the other hand, to Judge from several expressions which seem to have been representative of the feeling of the general traveling public, the chango back to the conductors will he welcomed, as it is said that Hie lat ter show more courtesy and considera tion for the traveler as a rule than does the collector proper. IT TO SK NATO lt SMITH We have heard it stated that Sen ator Smith ls being accused of try ing to get the farmers to hold their cotton while he ls selling lt himself. As to the truth or falsity of the charge we know nothing, und we suppose Senator Smith is able to take care of himself and may answer it to the satisfaction of the public, hut from what we can hear, this Is to confront him In the campaign. As we remember lt, be hnd the rame charge to meet six years ago, when he was first elected. If these charges are uot true, they are calcu lated to help Senntor Smith. For there's no denying the fact that the greatest boost that was ever given (lie political fortunes of his opponent was because of unproved charges against him. oooooooooo o o o o o o o o o o o THK HAY JN f'ONU UK SS o o o uOOOOOOO oooooooooo Washington.
