In diwijHRing the letter aent yester-
day to Mr. Overman, W. A. OvercnHh,
se-retnry of -the local Merchant' Ah
sixitition, ixiinted out thnt ninny com
ilaint8 have been made to the Aaam-in-tion
recently,while many nthera have
U-eii aent to the Simtheastern Express
Company,. by local merchnnta, who. de
clare it tnkes twice im long now to
get giMHla from the Eaat by exprew ns
it did before the Southeastern Com
pany was organised.
This fact Is due to the circuitous
routing of the gods, Mr. OvercnHh
pointed, out, so that the American
Itiillwy Express vCnmpnny' can get
jevery jiosslble mile out of the hauling.
The letter to Mr. Overman points out
that despite the fact that the pack
ages nre ninrked "via Washington and
iSolitheastera Exprew," the Americnii
ltnilwny Express sends thpm yin Rieh
mond, Monroe and Charlotte to Con
cord, or ngain' vn Hurrlsburg, Hag
crHtov.ii, Konnoke, WliiHton-Hnleul nnd
(J.-eenslioro lo Concord. " .
This practice,' ...Mr. Overeash ido-
: "means a groat loss to the local mer
chants. One merchant today told' me
that he' had lost several good sales re--ently
laK-ause goods he had ordered
did not arrive until too late. I. be-'
lieve the- loss in the past year has to-,
tailed $30.(1(10."
. Mr. Hvercnsh also pointed out that
many claims are bejng entered with
' the Southeastern Express Company as
u result of the delay, while .ninny other
business men are requesting the South
aistern Company to make an. investi
gation of the matter.
Speaking 'further- Mr. Overcnsh
iminted out that liefore the organiza
tion of the Southeastern Company the
goods from the East were sent direct
over the Southern to Concord; "That
is what, wo want again," die 'declared.
"We have, asked Senator Overman to
- beljf lis in this fight before the Inter-
- state -Commerce Commission, which
will hold a hearing on the question at
some future date." Mr. Ovetcash al
so 'pointed) out that' many other cities
In the State are making a nght simi
lar to the one started by the local as
sociation, and that each town, so far
as he could learn, which was served
' only by the Southern Railway, was be
ing discriminated against by the Am
erican Hallway Express, which is try'
ins to keep " all business on its lines,
'j- regardless of 'service to the owners of
the goods.

PETITION IS DENIED

was denied in an" ci rion- written liv
Associate Jnstice''A(b dw, of flic State
"The News and Wiserver says of the
case: ,
"The lietition in, the case was pre
sented to the? court last week by John
J. Parker, attorney for the defendant.
A writ of certiorari was asked for, ac
cording to the statement of the case
by Judge Adams, 'on the alleged ground
mat tne case on apiieal does not cor
rectly and truly set forth certain
things which occurred in the trial ond
omits matters which are important for
the defense.
, '"To set out in detail the particu
lar matters referred to by the defense.'
says Judge Adams, 'would serve no
useful purpose. In his petition the
defendant alleges that "he has reason
to believe and does lielieve that said
omissions nnd misstatements were
made by reason of mistake or inadvert
ence on the part of Judge Ruy and
that he will supply the omissions and
correct the misstatements If the court
will direct to him a writ of certiorari,
empowering and directing him to certi
fy to this court the truth with regard
to such matters." :
"'In the defendants brief his coun
sel say : "We feel that an application to
him, the trial 'judge, by us for a let
ter,' suggesting that the cuse on appeal
should lie amended, would be worse
than futile." So far as the record
showB,4he judge who tried the cose
has not indicated his ' readiness to
change his statement of the case on
appeal, nor has he been asked to do
so. The defendant requests us to hold
thnt' the case on appeal- is incorrect
notwithstanding the judge's certlfl
case that it is correct. Such proceed
ing would lead to interminable -per
plexity. , IbC a number of cases it has
been held that the settlement by the
trial judge of a case on appeal to the
Supreme Court Imports verity and
must be accepted as absolutely true
and thnt n certiorari will not be grant
ed requiring him to make up a new
case or to insert matters ulleged to
have been omitted.'"

says the man had heavy dark mus

"A few moments later I heard loud

if wasted, he said, but at the same
time it. ean lie n blessing if devoted

things that tend to improve the man.
I T. Harfsell made an especially
good talk on "True Menning of Wealth."

stands that work is1 the great blessing
in the world nkl wealth Is valuable
only. 4i a means of helping others.
The greatest men in the world, he
