The United St ;i 1 1 r Supreme Court lias handed down a decision laying down In effect the new principle that railroads cannot deal in the commodi ties which they haul over their lines. The rase arose In a suit instituted In i the United States Circuit Court of the district of West Virginia, by the Inter state commerce commission to enjoin the carrying out of a contract under which the Chesapeake & Ohio Hallway Company agreed to deliver at New Haven 60,000 tons of New lilver coal for the New York. New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company at Vl" per ton. The price of coal at the mines, plus the cost of transportation from Newport News to New Haven, was 12.47 per ton, while the published rate from the mine to Newport News was $1.45 per ton, and the hill was based on the claim that this was In effect a disc rlipinailon. In that the company carried the coal for less than the usual rates. The company denied this and alleged that It was a loss It sustained on the price of the coal, and that It took this means to reimburse the New Haven road for some $ino.O(n Which It had lost through the Inability to All a previous contract owing to a strike of miners. The Circuit Court held that there was no violation of the rebate provision of the Interstate commerce act, but held that the con tract --between the two rouds was Ille gal and enjoined Its enforcement. The two roads and the commission appeal ed. The Supreme Court takes up the contract In iuestlon and also the pre vious contract, whl. h was for 2,000,000 tons, with deliveries guaranteed by J. Plcrpont Morgan. The various phases Of both contracts are considered at length, and the conclusion was reached that they were void, as In violation of the Inter-State commerce act, because the margin for freight rates was lower than published rates The decision has ultra' led cniisider able attention, but Ik not regarded by Interested parties as being of as much importance as at first appcntc.1. This fact Is emphasized liy the bidding up of Chesapeake & Ohio and other coal carrying railroad stocks In Wall street since the de Islon was rendered. "The court did not hold I hat no railroad cor poration engaged In inter-State com merce could ow n rid operate coal mines or buy and sell coal,-' says The New York Journal of Commerce, HU, , ii course not being nocessaiy t,( Judg ment In the case b'lore It, "but it was clearly Implied In the opli.l m of Mr Justice White that laling In the coin modifies which a i ailtoad Is ei,K.,K(., transporting Is In. onslsii nt wiih a proper exercise or lis fun.

Tlio object . of fUch an investigation must be to aaoer tain -whether, there la any wrong; In till relation of transportation and trading interest 'which need to- be corrected by new legislation. The decision of the Supreme Court and this inquiry by congressional Initiative constitute an event of more moment than defenders Of monopoly seem disposed to admit. It is aimed at tbe most formidable means of discrimination that ha yet been de. vised." If a railroad Is permitted to own coal mines and transport the product there of over Its own line for sale at dle- tant points It Is easy to Imagine the auuBun jiKciy 10 arise even iuuuk" nil i .i i. n the aws on the subject are enforced. It Is this very thing that has caused much dissatisfaction to coal exvnsum eis, but until the decision in the Ches apeake & Ohio case little seems to have been done toward stopping the alleged abuses, and while "the decision does not in Itself appear to take a very strong hold,. it may be that it point the way by which relief may be secur ed from "the most formidable means of discrimination that has yet been de vised." A dispatch from Pittsburg was sent over the country a few days ago telling of "a great railroad, project destined materially to change the face of the industrial South." which the Seaboard Air I,lne, It asserted, would announce In a. few days from Its headquarters at Portsmouth, Va. The dispatch also states that this Involves the purchase by the. Seaboard of the South & West ern Railroad now building through the North Carolina mountains. The details may or may not be accurately stated, but It Is a fact that th South & West ern Is being built from Spruce Pine, N. ('., to Spartanburg, H. C, and that Its completion will mean a great deal to tills entire section. In this connection the news from Wilmington that a line has been surveyed from a point on the Seaboard Air Line to Southport. a dis tance of 3fi miles, is most Interesting. The Shelby Aurora, which holds up the Kepubllcnn end of the argument In the ninth congressional district, says "11 is generally understood that Mr. Price, the assistant district attorney for the western district of North Caro lina, will be removed on account of his attitude toward the Republican nomi nee for Congress In the eighth district, Mr. Hlackburti." Therefore it brings forward for that position "a man of culture, wide experience and one of the State's most popular and successful j young lawyers Hon! Jatte F. Newell, of Charlotte." All of which Is very' handsomely said, but the nominee' would doubtless rather be a little more certain of a vacancy. As things now stand there Is no telling what may happen In the Republican ranks. The directors of the Mobile. Ala., chamber of commerce have adopted resolutions strongly urging Congress not to cut off the fast mall appropria tion. Similar action would doubtless be taken by commercial bodies throughout the South If It was felt that the appropriation was really In danger. There Is a cry against It every time the matter comes up In Congress, but heretofore It has never amounted to anything and It Is to be hoped that such will he the case this lime. A man claiming to he a Chicago law yer Is In trouble In Columbia for at tempting to bribe a court official to "tlx" a Jury which was lo try alleged pickpocket. After n while these fel lows will conclude that gold brick games and like schemes don't hnve as i smooth Balling down this way as was supposed. The first mayor of (ireater Pittsburg is a Democrat, but thl-re Is no signlfl caiica In his election, as It was brought about 1y a split In the ranks of the Republicans. FAVORS MISS SKTTI.I':.

Special to The ObBerverv Winston-Salem, Feb. 33. The' Win ston aldermen, at their next regular meeting, Thursday night, March 1, will elect policemen and other city officer for the ensuing six months. There are intimations that there will be a shakeup In the police force. It Is understood that all the old offi cers, including Chief CrutchOeld. will file applications for re-election. It Is quite likely that there will be other as pirants for positions on the force. One or two of the aldermen have been heard to say that the city needed at least two more policemen. There Is talk that at least this number will be added to the force. It Is argued that all of the towns in North Carolina, the fclze of Winston, have no less than 12 policemen and a majority of them have even a large number of peace guardians. The Colonial Tea given yesterday af ternoon and evening at the residence of Mrs. K. A. Kbert on Main street, by the local chapter Daughters of the American Revolution, was a most suc cessful affair, and was decldely one of the roost enjoyable and picturesque entertainments of the season. The la dies of the receiving party were gown ed In the quaint costumes of their an cestors of the days of Martha Wash ington, Dolly Madison and Nell Custis, and In their pretty flowered gowns, powdered hair, and patches, and decked in Jewels, whose richness and antiquity gave evidence of the fact that they were heirlooms. The ladles are being congratulated on their skill In arranging so picturesque an enter tainment. The amount realised on the lea was $42. which will go toward raising the $104 the Wlnston-Salein chapter will give towards raising the North Caimllna column In the Conti nental Hall. To-night a masquerade ball was given at the armory by the young men In compliment to the young ladles of the city. It was a most delightful af fair, and quite a, large number of couples participated.

Local Republicans are saying that "If this row between the factions keeps im ; tfey much longer and District Attor- Holton continues to Indict office holders, it will be useless for the party to put out a ticket in North Carolina, for a few years et least, as we could not black the board." There is a well founded report Current that certain (revenue offlicers are threatening to tell all they know about the charges against certain men under Indictment In the Kederal Court and that, if they do go talking, Congressman Blackburn mny be uccused of being at least par tially responsible for the troubles which have befallen certain office hold ers and blockuders. A gentleman who has been conversing with one who claims to know a few things, says that the most Interesting features Uo Democrats) of the row between the Republican factions are yet to be made public. Mrs. L. D. Parker, of Mooresvllle, spent yesterday In the city. She was accompanied by her little daughter. While here the little one received the rites of baptism, administered by Bishop Rondthaler, of the Moravian ehnivh. Mr. and Mrs. John Nail went to Bethanla to-day to visit Mrs. Nail's parent.
