TO OBEY ORDERS. Matters of Interest That Were Cp Be? fore the Railroad Commission in Columbia. Columbia. Aug. 20.-At a meeting of the railroad commission held here today a number of important matters came up for discussion, among which was the reciprocal demurrage case which has been carried to the su? preme court. General Manager Kenly of the Atlantic Coast Line and Gener? al Counsel Wilcox of the same road appeared before the commission. They contended that the rules laid down when Railroad Commissioner Wilbcrn was chairman of the com? mission governing demurrage and shipments were too severe. The com? mission would not ?consent to any change, stating that if the railroads did not accept them they would ab? rogate all rules, and then Mr. Kenly agreed to! comply with tho commis? sion's action.. i In the matter of a new depot at McCormick General Manager Kenly will make a personal visit to that place and try and reach a satisfac? tory adjustment over the fight 'for a brick depot. The railroad company has consented to erect a frame de? pot, but the people of McCormick want a brjck depot or none at all. With ? the reference to the express rate on mineral waters Superin? tendent O. M. Sadler submitted a rate but the commission refused to accept the rates because of the charge for the return of empties. How's This?

Mullins, Aug. 22.-Tuesday broke all previous records in the history of the Mullins tobacco market, it was a sight that attracted considerable at? tention on the streets. The warehouses were not only filled, but all the streets were blocked with wagons loaded with leaf tobacco for blocks around, and it was late in the after 1 noon when the last sale was finished. M^- - +han 300,000 pounds of the bri c ...af was brought to town, but th'- ,-arehouses could only get 25S.000 on the sales for the day. the rest be? ing stored around in various places for future sales, while a few living near town carried their loads back home. It was a real lively day in Mullins, and the merchants a', seemed to-have as much as they cc^.d do. The banks, naturally, were the busiest places in town outside of the warehouses, some thing like $30.000 having been paid out oy*'r their counters during the day. It seems to be the general opinion that farmers are making a mistake in rushing their crop ou, the market so rapidly. While it is true prices are extra high now and farmers are fully satisfied, still there is good ground for believing that the manu? facturers would pay more if the farm? ers would hold off a little. The mullins tobacco market sold over three-quarters of a million pounds of tobacco last week. Had an Awful Time * But Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy Cured him.

NEGRO TRAINMEN TO GO.7 Coast Line Begins Its New Policy on Lines at Richmond-Need of Elig?-, bios for Conductors and Engineers Mar be Reason for Change. Charleston, Aug. 23.-The Rish mond division of the Atlantic Coast Line is making the experiment of substituting white firemen and brake? men for such colored ?mployes, and the policy may later, be tried on the entire system. In reporting the elimination of the negro trainmen and the substitution of white men, the Rishmond papers state that the change is being made all along the line, but inquiry today at the office of the superintendent on Chapel street elicited the reply that this substitution is not in progress on the lines running into or out. of Char? leston. When asked about the matter, the Charleston official stated that no change was being made, but when he was reminded that the change had already taken place about Richmond, he said that it was only an experi? ment which was being tried there. Xo orders have been received for a substi? tution of white for colored trainmen at the Charleston office, and the trains in and out of Charleston are still run? ning with white and colored firemen and brakemen, according to the statement of the I- eal official. Acording to the 1? chm on a papers, the first train manned with a straight white crew left that city on Tuesday night. All of the paser ger trains have been already manned with white men, and freight trains\Wli? be put in"j charge of whit? men /exclusively just as fast as white trainmen can be found to take the places of the color? ed help. No statement has been given out by the Richmond office of the system as to the reason for making the change. The newspapers, however, say that the white trainmen are pref? erable to the traveling public, an^to^ the railway employes generally, al it may be that, the road looks for a more harmonious and satisfactory service from its employes by having all white men on its pay roll. The change will hardly affect the colored helpers and porters as no reference is made to these classes of trainmen in the reports from Richmond. The explanation is advanced by a railroad man that an advantage worth considering in the substitution of the help lies in the fact thnt by putting on white brakemen and firemen the railroad wjll have a larger number of eligibles from which to select its con? ductors and. engineers. Colored men are never put in charge of trains, and their use in the subordinate posi? tions keeps out white men who would be in line of promotion for higher plac*s. . However this may' be, the fact re? mains that white men are taking the places of negroes on a part of the system, and the policy seems to be to extend the experiment until all the trainmen are white, although no change oif the wind has yet been made on the trains, running into and out of Charleston. The substitution on these trains will probably come later. The Limit of Life. ?The most eminent medical scien? tists are unanimous in the conclu? sion that the generally accepted lim? itation of human life is many years below the attainment possible with the tadvanced knowledge of which the race is now possessed. The crit? ical period, that determines its dura? tion, seenos to be between 50 and 60; the proper care of the body during this decade cannot be too strongly urged; carlessness then being fatal to longevity. Nature's best helper after 50 is Electric Bittrs, the scientific tonic medicine that revitalizes every organ of the body. Guaranteed by Siberts Drug Store., 50c. County Dispensary Sales.

Aug. 16.-Suit is to be instituted by the government against the International Harvester company for alleged violation of the Sherman anti-trust act. The papers in the pro? posed action are being drawn at the department of justice and the indica? tions are that the company will be hauled into court in the immediate future. It is likely that the proceed? ings will be begun in Chicago. A year or more ago complaints of the operation of the International Harvester company reached the de? partment of justice and agents of that department and of the bureau of corporations have accumulated ' a mass of information on the subject. The evidence, that the company has violated the anti-trust law is aserted to be conclusive. The investigation disclosed the fact that the parent company controls practically all of the big reaper and mower and thresher plants in the country and that an apportionment of the country is made among the various subsidiary concerns in such a way that nov one of them will come into business conflict with another. It further is alleged that prices of the i'arm machinery manufactured by the International Harvester company are fixed by the concern and from those prices dealers are not permit? ted to vary. In this and through its control of the many plants the com? pany is able to dictate the output of such machinery, the parts of the country into which it shall go and the prices at which it shall be sold. These conditions apply, it is said not only to America, but. to foreign coun? tries as well. The operations of the companj-, as viewed by officials of the department of justice, are in restraint of trade, i Xo - intimation is given of the date of the institution of the government's ^ruit, but the delay will be only inci Uital to the preparation of the gov? ernment's case. .
