While the reduction is small, it is a reduction and the manner is a concession. As to vegetables the Coast Line replied j that existing rates are not unreasonable. The sum of all this means j that the matter will go up for;1 formal trial before the commission j1 when the entire subject will be1 thoroughly threshed out and it will ( be up to this court to render judgment upon the issues. Last Saturday Mr J R Wofford,1 representing the Southern Express: Company, came to Lake City to as-; certain the wishes of the truckers j as to express rates. He was furn- 1 ished with a schedule of the rates < which our people think they should < have. Mr Wofford stated that the ! schedule would be submitted to1J those authorized to act on the mat-; ter for the company, and that an J i wnnlfl ko fnrthrnminc with- ! 1 OilOVY ti YYVUivt w *V. 0 in four or five days.

When we put more than twenty-five thousand dollars into drains, a good many persons said something much cheaper "will do," but the policy then established to have only the best even should we be able to get only a little at a time, will be adhered to right on, experience having proven the wisdom of this policy.

PHELPS CASE TAKES NEW TURN. | Shertff Graham Puzzled to Know What to Do With His Prisoner. The status quo of the Phelps case, which has been undisturbed for the j past fortnight, took a new turn this1 week and it is hard to tell just j what will be the outcome of the j present situation. Mrs Phelps No! 1, who came here from Greensboro, N C.j about two weeks ago and since her arrival has been taking care of Phelps at the Kellaha'n Hotel, returned Sunday morning to her home in North Carolina. Mrs Phelps took the position that as there was a warrant pending forx her husband's arrest and there seemed to be no hope of his recovery for some time to come, if at at all, she could not afford to remain with him indefinitely at a heavy expense, having no means of her own, and that her departure in no sense meant that she had abandoned him a to his fate. She merely had sub- ^ mitted to the inevitable, as she saw | g it. She was willing to take care v of her husband as long as she was n able to work for him, but the law g seemed to have the first claim upon him,for the present, at least, and n she recognized and yielded to the prior claim. n This left Sheriff Graham, who has u from first to last handled a delicate p and trying situation with character- C( istic humanity and consideration, (tj puzzled to know what to do with a c, sick man on his hands charged with jt a serious crime and no provision h) made for his proper care. On Mon- p< day the Sheriff wired Governor 0] Ansel, explaining his predicament) l s, Youths' i dy-Mad< 1 Suits and E-xtr sto-Me* / on short notice.
