O J u ts of Interest Regarding the lr"lw I Head. ' Messrs, D, A. Tompkins, R. Ai Punn, F. C. Abbott, E. W. Thomson. W. S. Alexander, M, B. Spier. W. F. Dowd and A. Morris McDonald, hava tn appointed members of the local oommlttee to look after th Interest f the proposed trolly Una between Charlotta and Charleston, S. C. ' Some time ago Maw. ,: Plnckner, XMsey and VanE!ttn spent several dajt In the city conferring with tho local mill men regarding a ubscrlp tlon of 10 per cot of the- cost of the road within the bound of MecK - lenburg county. They received assur ance of co-operation and financial eupport. Thi oommlttee waa appoint ed to act a looal representatives of those building the projected trolley mad. Committees similar to th foregoing,. have been appointed in evwry city ana town through which the proposed road la to run. Among these cities are i Union, Anderson, Chester, Spartan burg, Wlnnsboro, Abbeville, Greenville, Bock Hill and Charleston. . The following facta about the pro ' posed trolly line are taken from an address recently delivered by Mr. Plnckney: "The total length of the road as planned will be (34 miles, and we have already completed about 150 miles of the surveys, and secured some o fthe rights of way and fran chises, and now have a preliminary organization of 50 men working to complete the balance. "The route of the proposed road la from Charleston via Summcrvllle, Hollji Hill and Orangeburg to Colum bia, continuing from Columbia, via Wlnnsboro, Chester and Kock Hill to Charlotte, N. C, with a division run ning from Orangeburg through Nor way, Springfield and Aiken to Augus ta, Ga. Another division will run from Columbia westwardly through Lexington, Saluda, Greenwood, Abbe ville and Anderson to Greenville. loop ing back through 8jartanbuTg and Union to a Junction with the Columbia and Charlotte division at Chester. An other division runs from Saluda through Newberry and Clinton to Lau ren 'The business of the corporation will be freight, passenger, mall and express; as the street car lines serves the Individuals In cities, so will the railroad of the South Carolina Pupllo Service Corporation serve the farmer, manufacturer and merchant, because With the electric railroad freight and . passengers can be handled In a man ner that Is Impossible with a steam road. "An electric railroad can operate freight oars In single units for local business, stopping at farm platform to load cotton or produce. In lots of any also, go to the next farm and do the same thing until the cat has been filled. The same would apply to the delivery of fertilizers., for we could deliver the fertiliser's on the farm platform, thus saving the present ex pense of hauling from the railroad station. The same applies to the man ufacturer or merchant. Our cars would be loaded at their doors and goods shipped to the.n would be un loaded directly from the cars into their warehouses."

IIlcUi, a Holiness Trencher, Convh tert at Mielby of . rrsctlilng DentlHtry Without LI- CenHcAn Intcrenting Case. Mr, H. C, Pwkwlth. of Raleigh, Iny over In Charlotte, yesterday , on his way home from Shelby, where he had 'been prosecuting one Kv. J. J. Hicks or practicing dentistry without li cense. Mr. Beckwlth represented the Bute Dental Association, and ha suc ceeded, assisting Solicitor Clarksorv In putting! the doctor out lot a Job and burdening with with a fine. If ho con ttnuo the practice and Is convicted a second time It will put him to cracking rocks. ' ";: . ""..' .., It soems that the Rev. Mr. Hicks hag been practicing as a dental free lanoe for a number of years. Indeed, he testified that he had been at It some years prior to 1870, either as a student or a practitioner. If this had been true and If he had filed a certi ficate to that effect with the proper of ficer before 1800 he would not have been guilty of a crime upon the facts, However, he did not file tho certificate, a&d, If he was practicing In 1879 he was but If years old. The Dental Association was aware of Rev. Dr. Hick's Irregularity all the time, but It did not care to bother him, so long as he did hot toother It Rut a few years ago, according to Mr. Beckwlth, he Joined the Holiness church, became one of Its ministers, and used his connection with It to augment his practice, professing sanc tlflcatlon and inability do to any wrong or harm. Ho took the war Into Africa then, describing tho Dental Associa tion as a trust and scattering the news that Its members charged too much. In his rounds, he ran up with a parent for whom Dr. Osborn, pres ident of the association, had made a plnte. "What did ho charge you for It?" asked Rev. Dr. Hicks. "$I5." "Why, I would havo made you tho a.me plate for $2. no," said Rev. Dr. Hicks. "Let me see It." The patient handed his false teeth to Rev. Dr. Hicks, who, according to Mr Beckwlth, popped a small hole In It, thereby destroying the suction which had kept It up against the roof of the fellow's mouth. The pa tient went back upon Dr. Osborn, be cause his teeth would not stay In. This Incident was an Illustration of Rev. Dr. Hicks' style, according to Mr. Beckwlth, and It roused the regular dentlots to the point where they de cided to put him out of business. Rev. Dr. Hick's brother took the stand. "Did you ever have any trouble?" asked Mr. Beckwlth. "Oh. well yes; such little things as any young man has." "Let her come! Tell us about It!" said Mr. Beckwlth. "Didn't you sign a 'lie bill" once for slandering a virtuous young woman?" Tho witness admitted that he did. "I dropped him then," said Mr. Beckwlth. "as quick as the nigger dropped the cooter. The nigger had the cooter by the tail, going along home with him. The cooter had his neck thrust out and his head perpen dicular to his body. A ventriloquist threw his voice over the cooter, say ing, 'When Is you gwlne to drop me?' The nigger looked down at him. 'Wut you say?' asked the nigger. I say, when Is you gwln to drap me?' re peated the cooter, to whom the nigger replied. 'Right now!' " Rev. Dr. Hicks was turned out of the Holiness church some time back, for that he Instated on using an Int ment for a case of the Itch that he suffered from and which his faith was not sufficient to cure.
