' P | W I # ISTIKE LYNCH LA* I I 1 President Spencer Speaks on Railway 1 Rate Legislation s TAKES,A FIRM STAND AGAhST IT f t e Declares Government Regulation is a Unfair, Unjust, and Opposed to the 1] Fundamental Principles of Anglo- ? Saxon Jurisprudence. ~ ii f Newark, N. J., Special.?That gov- ^ eminent control of railroad properties t; as proposed in the Esch-Townsend ^ bill, which was considered at the last e session of congress, is unfair, unjust f to tlie railroads, opposed to the fundamental principles of Anglo-Saxon g jurisprudence, and is equivalent to S providing by statute for the enforcement of commercial lynch law, is in ^ substance the replay of the railroads a to the agitation for railroad rate leg- n islation, as outlined by President Sam- 0 uel Spe'ncer, of the Southern railway, ^ ii in an address before the Newark t board of trade. Mr. Spencer said in c partA S ''l'p to the present time shipper and carrier have been free to work to- ^ get her, without political interference t to facilitate the establishment of new i industries; to reach out for new mar- c kets for our fanners and manufac- e turers; to create new communities and to maintain the prosperity of those c already established, and to cooperate to the fullest possible extent to en- J large the volume of both our domestic 6 and foreign trade. Propose to Change System. "It is now proposed to change this system and substitute for it one in which artificial bureacratic methods will take the place of the natural laws j of trade and commence, which have j been the controlling force and evolu- ^ tion of the present system. "And it must be borne in mind that it is proposed to give those enormous powers to a body on whom no respon- ^ sibilities rest or can rest, for the pre- . servatior: of maintenance of the railroad property, or for the discharge of financial obligations, or the fulfillment ! of its duties to the public as an efficient common earner. "The president, in his last annual j message, laid special Emphasis upon the necessity for doing away with re- ' ates and for the keeping of the highways of transportation open to all upon equal terms. There is no issue < nv pnntroversv before the people 01 "* *> congress as to whether or not rebates or secret discriminations should be stopped. No one desires more than the railway managers themselves that there should be an end to all such practices. No Rational Suggestions. "No rational suggestions have been made, however, as to how the granting of rate making power to the interstate commerce commission sould be effective to this end. A rebate or any secret discrimination device can, of course, be applied to a government rate as well as to one made by the carrier. "One of the most serious objections to the legislation proposed is that, under it a rate once fixed by the commission would continue in force indefinitely, unless changed by the commission or by the court. The carrier would, therefore, have no power to make either reductions or increases to meet new conditions. "To place in the hands of one tribunal which is or may be prosecutor, jury and judge and at the same time executioner is equivalent to being one i - P statute for the enforcement 01 cum- 4 mercial lynch law." Judge Solicited for Campaign. Tf Ififelngton, Special.?The charge , of soliciting and accepting campaign i contributions in tHe PampaigL of 1902 ' made against United States Circuit ' Court Judge Baker, of Indiana, by the Civil Service Commission, has been referred to the Department of ustice by the commission.

They represent big Eastern financiers and the change means that the line will finally enter Milwaukee Southern and that it will become part ,Hf a great railroad system-" ' i v, mint IDBjIf 1H Totes of Southern Cotton Mills and Other Manufacturing EnterprisesWare Shoals, S. 0.?Another hig Southern mill, the Ware Shoals Matiuaeturing company, is nearing compieion. Its buildings are now eompletd, the machinery has been ordered nd is being received at the plant for nstallation. This latter work is exerted to be completed by November 0, and then the spindles and looms rill begin to produce. The mill buildng is four stories high, 150 by 277 eet in size, and will have 25,000 spinles, together with S00 looms, from he Draper Company, of Hopcdale, lass. There wU then remain sudicint space in the building to double the tlin namnnnv Hnisll'PS to JJIHUICS ?1 lieu HIV V VUiputM ticrease its equipment.

C.?It is expected that he work of developing Gaston Shoals, property on Broad river, about five uiles from Gaffney, will be started at nee. This property and other water irivileges were acquired by the Gaffley Manufacturing Company some ime ago, but were sold recently to a ompany that Mr. J. B. Cleveland, of Spartanburg, is said to be at the lead of. This company had a corps f surveyors at work at the property ast week and it is thought here that he work of developing will be begun n the near future. This property is onsidered very valuable and if proprly developed it is thought that these alls will furnish water power sufliient for the manufacturing plants it Gaffney, Spartanburg, Cherokee Tails, Blacksburg. in South Carolina, ind Shelby and other points in North Carolina. Nashville, Tenn.?A meeting of the tocklolders of the Warioto Cotton dills, was held on September 30 to onsider plans for that, company's enerprise. Officers were elected as folows: President, W. R.

Durham, N. C.?The Durham and Southeastern Railway will soon be running trains from Durham to Apex, SL C., where this road will eross the Seaboard Air Line and connect with i road already running to a point on the Atlantic Coast Line a few miles lorth of Fayetteville.

C. It is probable in fact that the Duke and Erwin interests have been the.chief factors in the imilding of this road which will be if great benefit to a section of country heretofore seriously lacking in facilities for transportation of its pn<lucts. Spartanburg, S. C.?The Sun Mills will be incorporated with an authoriz?d capital stock of $500,000 to build tnd operate a cotton-rope and twine nil I. John B. Cleveland, John A. Law, Walter S.

Some of these superintendents have written that their reports will be ready to send in wthin the next ten ( days. j One feature of interest in the re- i port will be the matter of eueourag- t inc free libiaries in the rural schools.

We have received notice of the building ot' quite a number of new school houses under the act of the last session of the legislature to encourage adequate school buildings. The comptroller general will, in a few davs send out another apportionment of dispensary funds. The law provides ihut some of4this money may be used for this purpose. This is a great opportunity for a community which needs a new school build in?. It .jives a good opportunity also for several communities to consolidate their schools. Please le: your trustees understand that local or special taxes mav be I voted after January 1. / "There ou<rht to be a great many ,^uch taxes voted for next year. Ttets is the only plan under the law to replace the dispensary fpwicis in those counties which ha?v^or may vote out the dispensaries. T'or the last two or three years the schools have been receiving from 1 $200,000 to $250,000 from dispensary ' profits. This amount exceeds either the poll tax or local taxes. Local taj; at ion is one of the best ways to raise ' school revenues, because1 it reouires local interests and enthusiasm. Most 1 of the States raise the greater part of their school funds by local taxation. While some districts have voted ' all the constitution allows them to : vote, yet less than 20 per cent, of our ( school revenues is raised in thus way.
