Theodore 11. Price, the famous
cotton speculator, who is geuerally
ou tlie hear side, but who is
now a vigorous bull, makes the
following prediction in the daily
papers this week : For reason
which 1 have already stated and
others which 1 cannot disclose, I
regard a startling advance in cotton
as imminent and inevitable.
Lancaster county will doubtless
be well represented at the
Confederate reunion to be held
: ?i u:? i. i. nr . J

Columbia is making elaborate
preparations lor the comfort and
entertainment of the veterans.
The rate from Lancaster has been
fixed at $1.40 for the round trip.
Both railroads offer the same
rates.
In a special message, President
Roosevelt transmitted to
Congress Friday the report of
Commissioner of Corporations
Carfield, giving the results of his
investigation of the subject of
"transportation and freight rates
in connection with the oij industry."
Both the President and
Mr. Garfield make highly sensa
tional and start l'.m: charges
against the Standard Oil (Jont-1
pany. That great trust is said to
have made t'O'h secret and open j
rates with railioads whereby i1 ]
was benefited to the extent f
at least three quarters ot a mil ;
lion dollars a year. The Standard
vigorously denies all charges.
' ONDITION OF THE SOUTHERNS
ROADS.
The News some time ago di- i
reeled attention t' the tact that i
the Southern's roads, if not already
in bad condition, were lia- i
t)le to become so in consequence
ot t he company's section hands
leaving in considerable numbers
and troimr oil to oilier works
whore bett< r wagon are paid. Ill
was in Hie interest of tiie travel-i
ing public as woH as thai of the'
.Southern itself that we called
attention to the matter, as so J
staled by us at the time. It now j
appears, Irom a communication
addressed Saturday by the railroad
commission tc the general
manager of the Southern, that
conditions aie much worse than
the public had been ied to suppose.
The substance of the comtnis
sion's letter is given by the Columbia
Record as follows :
The railroad commission toda\
sent a letter i .. General Manager
Spencer, ol the Souttiern, compiaimng
that on a majority of
the mileage ot its lines Irom
Columbia to Greenville, Hoiigeto
Abbeville, Alston to Spaitni
ourc, Columbia to Charleston,
Br.mehville to Augusta add
Kingsvtlle to Hie Mori It Carolina
line, the rails are so light and
ttie crossties so decayed that ttie
ro-idbtd is in no condition to
rt mil the lie ivy rolling stock
used, and that this, more than
anything, is responsible for the
congestion of traffic and failure
ot trains to matte schedule. In
view of the great increase in
business afforded the road in
this state the pas' five years the
commission requests Mr. Sp mi
cer to at once relay all oi the
main lines with heavier rail and
otherwise build up the roadbeds
for the safety as well as the lacility
of traffic.
The letterj-oes tin to urge thai
the shop force be not cut during
the summer but run to their full
capacity and on full time in or
der to prepare for the fall business,
as ,4it is not so much the
want of cars as increase in sidetrack
room and in motive powei
that the business of our sta e if
suffeung from today.
The letter commends the work
of the two superintendents work
incr in liiis <41 it I h. and savs* "(Jivt
them more yard and Bide track
room,allow them to increase theii
section force bv paying full wag
es, furnish heavier rails and sul
ficient locomotive power, and we
believe they can and will do the
rest, and we will experience
again no such conditions as ob
tained last winter."
It is hop?d that the Southerr
will take immediate steps to car
ry out the sinrsrestions of the
commissioners, which appear t<
be altogether within the bound o
reason The congested condition
of traffic should ol cours9 be re
lieved, but of far greater impor
lance is the taking of promp
precautions to ensure the saiett
ot the traveling public.
