MR. MARSHALL PROMPTLY DENIES. J ohn B. Marshall, proprietor of the Piedmont ice factory, was seen yester day by a representative of Thb News concerning the report that he had beer bottling privileges. The report is go ing the rounus of the press that he has been payiny 15 cents a dozen bottles to Governor Evans for the privilege. Mr. Marshall is indignantly empha tic and emphatically indignant in de nouncing the statement as false. The story probably started from the fact that he visited Governor Evans several months ago in regard to the matter. The governor referred him to the State board, the State board sent, him to the county board and there the matter was dropnied. In justice to Governor Evans and Mr. Marshall, the press of the State should give publicity to this emphatic state ment. The Greenville JVews has published many statements concerning Governor Evans and will be more than pleased to publish any evidence of incorrectness of such statements. This is fair and just. The editor of the News is glad to publish the above de nial. In talking with one of his informants since Mr. Mar shall’s denial of the charge, he finds that there was a misun derstanding and that Mr. Mar shall applied for the privilege, but did not get it as above stated. John Gary Evans al ready has enough scandals con nected with his administration and it is not the purpose of the News to unload on him those which do not belong to him. THE COAST LINE SCHEDULES. Since the Atlantic Coast Line have acceded to the request of the citizens of Cheraw to put on a passenger tram on the Cheraw and Darlington, they now seem to be engaged in a little spite work in order to re venge themselves. Because they have put on a passenger train they now refuse to allow people to ride on the freight and thus force those going to Char leston to wait over in Florence all day. The northern mail which goes down to Flor ence on the freight in the after noon has to lie over until the morning, because it does not connect with the fast mail. If the Coast Line will put pack the old freight schedule and allow passengers to ride on this train, then every thing will work all right. The pres ent arrangement is exceeding ly annoying to the traveling public, and, if such a result is the main object of the railroad people, they have certainly suc ceeded in their undertaking. Police commissioners Ander son and Wilburn of Charleston have resigned, Mr. Norwood, the third commissioner having resigned some time ago. Their reason for this move is that the State' board of control granted tourist hotel and beer privileges against their protest and that it was more difficult, on account of such action for the police to suppress blind tigers. John Gary Evans ap pointed in their places Thomas Campbell, B. I. Simmons and John W. Messervy. The dispen sary was always bad at its best, but those who are wise will not connect themselves with it in any shape in its pres ent disgraceful conditions. The Coast Line, by the recent change, has added very little to the convinence of the traveling public along the line between Darlington and Wadesboro, and have very materially reduced the accommodations of Darlington. With the schedules as they were last Spring soon after the passenger train was put on, everything would be lovely. The ward three dispensary in Columbia has been closed on account of a shortage of f1,752. • 19 in its accounts. The Legis> lature, at its next session, will have abundant excuse for sub stituting some other system for the control of the liquor traffic which will be more acceptable to the people. Now Is the time for genuine Reform. The word has been abused for a long time and has lately become a by word and reproach. South Carolina poli tics never needed reforming more than at the present time. HOW HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF. Eight Years Ago and Now. In conversation with railroad men this morning the present situation of the Seaboard and Southern railroads was touched upon, and one of the party re marked that the position of the roads had not materially chang ed since 1888, and t> the A r ews reporter added: “If you want to know what I mean read this, and do what you please with it.” The “it” referred to is the following ar ticle from the Baltimore Sun of Oct. 31, 1888, and being pertin ent to the subject is reproduced. “The absorbing propensities of the Richmond and West Point Terminal Company are attracting much attention in the railway and financial world. The Atlantic Coast Line system is being made the subject of negotiation just now by this syndicate, and report has it that they want the Norfolk and Western, the Louisville and Nashville and the Cincinnati Southern systems. The Nor folk and Western, it is author itatively stated, will refuse to deal for its absorption and the Seaboard Air Line will also maintain its independence. “Baltimore is directly inter ested in these railroad move ments. The Seaboard Line has direct connection with this city by the Chesapeake Bay Line steamers from Norfolk. The Norfolk and Western, through the Shenandoah Valley, and the Western Maryland roads, is also directly identified with the trade of Baltimore. “Persons who are concerned in watching these absorptions into one great concern, either by purchase or lease of the Rich mond and West Point Terminal Company, argue it out as fol lows: ‘That concern has been given by the State of Virginia such powers as have never been granted to any other corpora tion in this country. The Ter minal Company has authority to acquire control of railroads, and these are leased to the Rich mond and Danville railroad sys tem. The Terminal Company look for their profits in making these acquisitions, and there is little doubt that they secured for themselves a big stake bv the recent purchase of the Georgia companies. “ ‘The extraordinary powers held by this Terminal Company give them the opportunity to actually control railroads with out paying any money for them, and of making huge profits by the transactions, by the mani pulation of stocks and bonds. The purpose of this syndicate is to dominate and control the railroad transportation of the Southern States east of the Mis sissippi and south of the Ohio rivers. The successful accom plishment of their schemes will be to deprive the South of rail road competition and to make a local station of every South ern city and town. The end of all this will be the stagnation of development and the going un der of the railroads, with their heavy loads of debt piled on by the manipulations of this syndi cate. “‘The remedy for this lies with the State of Virginia, which never contemplated such results from the powers she granted to the Richmond and West Point Terminal Railway and Warehouse Company, with its modest title, but gigantic de signs. The withdrawal of these powers and a requirement for the winding up of affairs of this company will save the South from the evil effects of this great speculative railroad venture and will demonstrate the hollowness at its foundation.’ “A dispatch to the Sun from New York last evening says: •The Sun correspondent called on Mr. George Scott, president of the Richmond it Danville, in regard to the rumored purchase of the Atlantic Coast Line, for which Mr. Harry Walters is now in this city. Mr. Scott said that some negotiations had taken place between them, but that as nothing definite had been arrived at, it would be premature to discuss any de tails.”’—Norfolk A’ews, Sept. 5, 1896.
