"Provision is made in the law for the indemnification of shippers for lost packages. The law prescribes that by insurance the actual value of lost packages will be givento the senders. Postmaster General Hitchcock has de vised a unique system for handling in sured parcels, consisting of shipping tag prmted with two coupons, one of which is torn off -and given to the sender, the second retained by -the postmaster at the sending office, the tag itself being atached to the parcel and bearing the name and address of the person to whom it is to be deliv ered.

In Union county, S.C. the shock caused large cracks to form in the old county jail, while plaster ing fell in many residences. At Ches ter the shock caused a linotype ma chine to slide a fehort distance across the floor of a printing office. ...At Kinstontn this State a chimney was shaken down."

' i FURNITURE MEN WIN VICTORY, Inter-State Commerce Commission in Important Decision Indicates Wit ' lingness to Correct Long-Standing Abuses Atrainst- North, Carolina Cities. Washington Dispatch, Dec. 30. Qne of the most important decis' ions for North Carolina ever handed down by the Intcr-State Commerce Commission was eiven out here today A decision in favor of North Carolina furniture manufacturers against the Virginia territory, which runs clear to Michigan, is the substance oi the opm Attorney R. H. McNeill who, with Mr. E. J. Justice of Greensboro, rep resented the furniture makers of North Carolina, said tonight that the victory for the Tar Heel manufactur ers is far-reaching and means thou sands of dollars to them. "Ever since the furniture business got its start in North Carolina," said Mr. McNeill, "and moved the bounda ries of its market westward it has had to secure buvers in competition with Virginia territory, New York, Penn svlvania and New England, with i freieht rate of $40 a car shipped to the Pacific coast in favor of the com petitors. "The North Carolina shippers com plained to the Inter-State Commerce .Commission and won in the decision today. The decision is a sweeping vie tory for the- North Carolina shippers and not only means that the freight rate en furniture and chairs will here after be $1.50 the 100 pounds, carload lots, 25,000 pour.ds minimum; it also means that m the future the shippers of North Carolina may be assured that the Inter-State Commerce Com mission through this decision has in dicated its desire and willingness to correct the long standing ' abuses which have existed against the cities of ' North Carolina and in favor of other sections of the country in the matter of rates enforced by the rail roads." v The commission finds that the sys tem of forcine a hieher rate from North Carolina points to the Pacific coast than is maintained from Virgin ia by the arbitrary addition to the Virginia rate of an arbitrary charge against the shippers of North Caro lina, in the nature of a penalty will not be further tolerated. The commission also finds that the present rates are not controlled or in fluenced by the alleged water com petition,, as contended for by the rail roads. The maintenance of the pres ent unjust rates has been keenly in jurious to the North Carolina ship pers and that this discrimination and injury must cease. "I have been somewhat costive, but h lXAtegaets"rts 'iuis the resK I desire. They act mildly and ree- ulate the bowels perfectly." Gei. B. Krause, Altoona, Pa. A REMARKABLE COUNTERFEIT Spurious Five-Dollar Silver Certificate Most Dangerous Imitation of American Currency Since Famous "Monroe Head" The Public Warn ed. ' Washington Dispatch, Dec. 30. Alarm seized officials of the United States Treasury today upon the dis covery of a remarkable counterfeit five dollar silver certificate, the most dangerous imitation of American cur rency since the famous "Monroe head" one hundred dollar bill, which was suppressed in 1908. So nearly perfect is this spurious note that officials of the cash room of the Treasury declared it was gen uine and unswervingly held to their belief that it was a washed note. Her man Moran, assistant chief of the United States secret service, detected slieht variations from the original, however, and stamped it unqualified ly as a counterfeit. The note is so dangerous that it was brought to the personal attention of Secretary Mcveagh and Kobert V. Bailey, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. In the case oi the "Monroe neao bill the whole issue was withdrawn from circulation because of the dan gerous imitation. It will hardly be practicable to resort to this precaution f-T. . t- . i. in connection wun ins, new luumer' feit because the five dollar "Indian head" silver certificate is so general ly in circulation. The counterfeit was discovered in New York city where two specimens were , obtained by the secret service. Treasury officials have undertaken to investigate the extent of its circula tion which is yet unknown. Widespread warnings to the public were Issued today by W. J. Flynn, chief of the secret service. The im perfections of the note are detectable only to the eye of an expert with the aid of a glass. Apparently it is print ed on two Diecea of paper between which silk threads have been distrib uted.
