MARCH 28, 1901. > THE STATE AGAINST PLAYER. The trial and conviction of Kra layer /or breach of iri^it with fraudulent intent was tha most sensational event of an "^u.sualjy interest ins: term ?f four*. The facts leading up to this result ate too well known to be reviewed, the oiroumstances of ? jobbery having been published throughout the State; so that, the public had drawn its conclusions long belore the trial, and when the jury returned its verdict, we be V l,ieve it voiced the opinion of n Urge majority of the people of ; the county. It is freelv intimated that there were others implicate! in the robbery, and the authorities should pot leave their work half done. Jj'he Stale and county officials have done their duty well tbu* far, but fiiey should leave m sioue uu turned to sift the matter to the bottom. We deprecate the puu ihment of those who areinnoceyt, and w00,1a not have a suspicion breathed against liiem, but it there are others coucerned, Mr. flayer should not be made to bear the burden alone.

We regret to see so many violators of the law before our court there; bv impeding t ie general business 1 I ot the county and causing a heavy ! tax upon the law abiding citizens : to defray the expenses incident to I heir trial. We find, however, that owing to there being no term! ; held last tall, that there is an ao- ! cumulation not likely to occur j again, and then, aiiain, we hope! the conviction and punishment' ! meted out to the guilty will have (a good m??rai effect and thereby prevent others Irom violating tinlaws, knowing that the penally ; for s:> doing will be laid upon (them.

Railroad Storage. Editor County Record: It appears to us that the railroad people have formed them.ulvuc inlM ; <nrl nt I I IKI i'iiniM:inv ??J I l(?r Ihe purpose ol carrying on a; general sioiage business ui their various depots throughout the country. This will work a terrible hardship on people petting freight to be forced roremove their goods and eflects in forty-eight hours after arrival. Of course the agents are not to blame: they are forced to carry out their insfruc i lions. But in spite of all this,! this course on the part of therail-J road people will arouse a spirit of opposition, particularly in cases wln-re good excuses prove unavailing. The spirit exhibited b) rhe railroad authorities in being so exacting is bound t<? have a tendency to Joice the patrons or the various roads to retaliate u heuever an opportunity presents itself.
