Edgefield Advertiser rHOS.J.ADAMS, -. - - . - EDITOR. THURSDAY, JAN. 19, 1893. As soon as the free-holders of the towns iu South Carolina find that a dispensary in their limits will promote temperance, increase the revenue, and decrease taxes, then the dispensary will be a fixed fact; and we do not believe any ' 'anti' will be so foolish as to decline . to see and recognize a good thing when stuck right uuder his nose. THE RAILROAD TAX CASES The railroad -tax caBes which have been -pending in the courts for more than a year, were on last Friday decided in. favor of the State by the Supreme. court of the United States, Chief Justice Fuller presiding. This will bring into the treasury of the State about $180,000, and is a victory of which Gov. Tillman and his admiuistra tion. may be justly proud. It would seem that, in the face of two Buch knock-down arguments as tho decision in the Coosaw case and this last decision in the rail road cases, the opposition- to Till * man along these lines ought to bide ;.ts diminished head and make reparation by apologising for the abuso of the last campaign on ac . count of administrative acts which haye been declared just, right, and legal by the highest authority on the continent; but we do not hope for any such .atonement.- The op position to Gov. Tillman is all the more rancorous and bitter because he has been sustained by such high and, as this world goes,"immutable authority, yet, perhaps, the people will hereafter delight to have re S embered these things--forsanset haec clim, meminissejiivabit. ?TKE RAILROAD LAW. The two laws passed at the re cent session of- the Legislature which seem to have excited to the utmost the ire of the anti-adimin istration papers are the Dispensary law and the Wilson railroad law. The first named we have spoken of elsewhere. The Wilson railroad law is almost the same law which has been in force in Georgia for some time -and gives general satis . faction in that!State. The Atlanta Journal sayB : "This law has work ed weil in Georgia, and there is no reason why it should not be equally as beneficial, in our sister^State." ra i i roads "iIr"Trns'1?rate : - "TheCtorrentpf opposition from the railroads is what might have been expected. A similar storm attended tho passage of the Geor gia law. But trial of the measure has worked a wondrous change. It bas shown that regulation is a good thing for the people and not a bad thing for, the roads. We predict that a similar result will follow a test of South Carolina's, new statute and that a few years hence the people will be blessing Governor Tillman for having signed the bill." Now what safer or better guide in the conduct of human affairs than the experience of others? If the Wilson railroad law is good in Georgia, why not in South Caro lina? One member of our Legis- j lature in his swelling periods of | opposition to this law said that) "the sovereign State of South Carolina'does not propose to take her laws from the statute books of Georgia"-but it waa a very foolish speech, for wisdom dictates that j good should be laid hold of with hooks of steel, no matter from what quarter it comes. T.he railroads, under the Wilson law, will not he oppressed, but they will be made | to submit to reasonable and jost j regulations. Moreton Farm. ^ Moreton farm consists of 250 acres of fine land in Monroe county, N, Y., a few m ilea from Rochester. .The late Mr Joseph Harria com menced to raise seeds and thoroughbred stock on this -farm more the 30 year* ago. The seed business has greatly increased; so much that a postoffice is now located on tho farm. The Joeeph Harris Company not only raise ch lice strains, of garden and field seeds, but they have one of the finest r. flocks of Cotswold sheep in the county. They also have a herd of fine Essex pigs, and latterly raised large numbers of Pekin ducks. We are just in receipt of "Harris* Rural Annual" for 1893. Besides a catalogue of seeds, plants, feirtili* zeTs.- eic, itcontaius mueh infor mation in regard tc farming and gardening, which would be of value to many of our readers. '-If yon will drop a postal card to Joseph Harris Co.t Moreton Farm, Monroe Co., 'N. Y. and mention the Advertiser, they will be glad to send you a copy of the Annual, < c si w .si a tl il tl ai ICTORT ?OB THE STA1 ailroad Tax Cases D?cid?e Its Favor. The opponents oftb^admine ion have now a chance to do andsome thing-they hav hahce to apologize for "much he abuse that they hayo hei ipon Governor Tillman and t rho with him are at the hea iffairs in this State. The ? ias won the railroad tax ( ind railroads will have to recog ;he sovareignty of the Stat South Carolina. Governor Till md Comptroller General Ell svere acused of wishing to g down the railroads and oi augurating'new and unjust m ode of axation. The Unite S Supreme Court has spoken in matter and it has entirely just the stand taken by the Stat* the great dicconinturo? of .the roads and the great array of 3 talent they had employed to a them in their attempt to d they pleased and disregard plain mandates of the statute of the Stete;: : ' ' Last^esr^^nthe time c they t?lw?e&:'i1> the Treasure various counties where-taxes ' due the amount that fhey thoi they should pay", which was every case less than the arno assessed by the Siate Boarc raised the assessments of Kaili see Equaltzation, which had ra the assessments of almost al the roads above tho figures which they had been paying t? for some time previous. T tenders, were refused by ?Treasurer^ and the ra>lroadi anticipating action oui the par the State, went into the Un Circuit X?ourt and obtainec temporary injunction to rest the State from the collects auy more taxes than they offered to pay. The position of the State that the railroads had no righ take any such action, that provisions of the law were pl and that they were to the e: that.if any person JOT corporat deemed that taxes were unlawf assessed upon them or ths greater amount of taxes waB ch ed against them than they 01 legally to pay, that such peri or corporations should pay entire amount assessed aga them, under protest, and then i into court and sue for a refun that portion^ of the taxes that 1 1 decmed.was uni awfully, : greatly liamf^rl^?n the com of its business affairs by ' having a sufficien t arnon t of ta in its treasury with which to ci them on. Such being the law State held that the railroads -i no right to go into the courts ? that no court had jurisdiction the case or the power to gr either a temporary or perman injunction. The cases were brought up in Circuit Court of the United Sta and were heard in . Chariest The railroads were represented a great array of legal talent a the State was represented by i Attorney General and Mess Samuel Lord and Ira B. Jon who had boen retained as asso ate counsel, and resulted in victo (for the railroads. The Stab i counsel entered a demurrer as ! the jurisdiction of the court ai appeal was taken to the Supren Court of the United States. I agreement between the couns representing the railroads and tl State'* counsel two capes, ?mbod; ing most if not all ol the point at isBue, were selected as the appei cases to be carried to' the Suprerx Court. These eases were th Central of. South Carolin?- an Northeastern Railroad cases. Thses cases were up in th Supreme Court this week and wer thrown out on the ground tba the court had no jurisdiction ii them. This is a complete triumpj for the State and railroads wil have to pay their taxes. As to what the railroads will dc under this new condition nf affairs isa matter of doubt. It is ?a^ that even now some of the railroads ire not disposed to bow gracefully md accept the inevitable, but wish ;omakea further fight, Thepe*^ l?verai ways in which this can be lone, but they will alHead to but ;he pes.ult-defeat for the roads, .'t may be contended that the two ?ases appealed are tjjtf test cases hat they do not embody ai J pf he points ai issue; indeed, one of he railroad aitorneys intimated as ouch yesterday. How this can be is ard to see. Asthec&j??sjwhich'were :arried to the Supreme .Court were arried as test cases and were i elected by mutual agfaemenff bet een the counsel reprseuting- fcofh ides, Toa man up a tree there ppears to bo but one solution to io Whole matter au-d ?hat is for ie roads to pay all ,of ?he amounts \ lat were 'assessed ?fcgaiust. them, J ad then if they consider that any > . . u-r...r % feb *IJ;?rr jart of this is not justly due they jan enter suit for its refund. There was considerable joy at the State House yesterday over the decision of the Supreme Court and the complete vindication thereby of the State's position in tfaC matter. Attorney General ToSoEend's pleasant face wore an unusually large smile and his voice was a trifle jubilant ap, in an awer to a query, he said that he thought thedecision of the Supremo Court would settle the matter. The Governor was also quite elated, though he was confident all along that such would be the outcome of the matter. He receeved several telegrams of congratulation durtng the day for himself and Comp troller General Ellerbe upon the thorough . vindication of their course in the matter-Columbia Register. < ?
