C? *enoiul-c.aaa mail matter Dillon. 1 C.. September 23 1909. / A Dangerous Precedent. The general assembly of Sout Carolina is notorious for doin some very foolish things. At il last session the general assembl granted permission to the Cincii nati, Clinchfield & Ohio railroad t secure a charter from the Secu tary of State to build and operat a line of railroad in this state with out opening books of subscriptio as required by law. When th Clinchfield people applied for thei charter the Secretary of Stat refused to grant it on the groun that the act was unconstitutional They have taken an appeal from th Secretary of State's decision t tlm cnoromo oniirt wh<?rf? confident they will get the relic demanded. From a layman's |X>int of vie1 the Secretary of State is righ The general assembly has not onl blundered, but it has established dangerous precedent. The gei eral assembly has no right to mal< laws that give special privilege to either foreign or domestic co porations and ther is every rei son to believe that his refusal 1 grant a charter to the C. C. & ( will be sustained by the supren court. To grant the l\ C. & C a charter under a special act whic does not require it to open bool of subscription and to subscrit the amount of capital necessary 1 construct its lines in this stai would be granting it immunil from suit or prosecution in tf state courts and persons seekin legal redress against the corpori tion would be compelled to carr their causes to the Federal courts Utt o oo 1 r>K?i rfut* a luiwci^u uy a apvviai uiouvi would enjoy the same rights an privileges as other corporation! but it would be absolutely withoi the jurisdiction of the state court: It is a pitv this complication ha arisen. The coming of the C. C & O. means much for South Can lina and the delay in securing ii charter is causing serious emba: rassment to every interest invob ed, but to confer upon the ne corporation privileges and righ that other corporations do not ei joy would be to establish a dange ous precedent and it would be tl part of wisdom to make has slowly.

If the c g tioversy is settled without the x. sistance of Wiswall it is pretty c .y tain the Marion people will take appeal to the supreme court. it d The Florence Times says " ?, problem of how to manage n it year without the lien law is seri.o a. ly vexing the meichants and so i? 01 rne iarmers. Some of those v I- advocated the repeal of the law 5- now somewhat confused in tl ts minds." On the other hand 1 r- Times is inclined to think the /- peal of the law will cultivate h w its of thrift and industry and h ts esty among the farming clas i- and the effect will be to bring r- i right home to the man who wa le credit?"that he must have a g te character and must be known t< a man who pays his debt There is no doubt but that effect will be to draw a line ?" tween the non-debt-paying 'ie the debt-paying classes. ' honest man will not have to an exorbitant profit on his gc ir. to make up for the losses the n eg cant suffers at the hands of dishonest man. Another ef of the law will be to establisl sounder basis of credit for ay merchant and the banker. ' er land-owner and farmer will h a" to guarantee the accounts of tenants and he will be pretty j not to guarantee the account ne any tenant who is not ' 'good pa on The merchant in turn will bor ee money from the banker on e. "book accounts" which prs cally makes the merchant agent ot the banker and if merchant fails to pay over to ee banker the money collected fi iy these "book accounts" he I T* himself liable to civil and cri nal prosecution. This drastic ture of the new law will make Id merchant exercise more di* to tion in the selection of his < at tomers and the farmer or ten who does not meet his obligati promptly will find it pretty h es to secure advances.
