: Southern Justifiable.
We believe that the Southern Rail-1
way's action in withdrawing its deposits
from the State of Georgia and (
' placing them in the banks of adjoin- 1
iag States because of the many garnishments
filed against its funds in
Georgia banks, was, to oar mind, a i
justifiable move. It will create
among the people?especially in the
State of Georgia where there has
been an unceasing fight against the
railroads for the past few years?a
more generous regard for the rights
of these corporations which have done
more for the development ana upbuilding
of our country than all other
\ enterprises combined.
The withdrawal of the Southern's
funds from Georgia has already had
upoil CXlt? ^icuuuo vi |
that State, many of whom have here- I
tofore been vigorously fighting what
has always been erroniously called j
^corporation rule," are now inclined
to give the railroads^ a square deal, if 1
we are to judge from some of the recent
editorial utterances of the Atlanta
papers. Along the line of garnishment
The Journal very aptly
says:
< * * ? it must be borne in mind
that the interests of the general pub^
lie are to-be considered^ first of all,
and that we should not ask the railroads
to do the impossible. If the
funds intended for. payroll accounts
Kjy?/ and other current expenses are tied
up in the banks and the railroads have
to give surety in donble the amount
before these funds can be released for
use in carrying on business, the question
arises if this does not work a
hardship upon the public which would I
justify an amendment to the garnish- j
xaentlaw.
"The interests of litigants must be
protected and their remedy for any j
wrong must remain adequate, but the
/ public welfare is of supreme importance
and it is entirely possible that
the railroads are really embarrassed
in their efforts to render the public a
proper service when/ their working
capital is subject to garnishment. It
is entirely possible that this is one of
the instances in which the interests
of the people and of *he railroads are
identical and that in behalf of both
?S?&: the garnishment laws might wisely
i/be amended. '
"It had been hoped that the railv
roads entering the State 6f Georgi^
y would be able to render a service to
the general pnblic by keeping in the
State the money that is earned in the
State, and yet in common fairness
we can hardly ask them to do so
when so doing would be to embarrass
them in meeting payrolls and other
current obligations oecause or uie
multiplicity of garnishments issued
against these local deposits.
"An equitable way out of the difficulty
should be found and it is hoped
that the matter, will receive the attention
of the legal minds in the general
assembly."
It will readily be seen from the
above that The Journal?as must
every other right thinking person?
V * recognizes the fact that it is unjust to
{ expect more of the railroads than you
would of other corporations or
private individuals. It is indeed a
healthy sign, and we reassert that the
^ Southern's move was a just and
righteous one,.
' It is a deplorable fact that the average
person looks upon a railroad
-company as a gigantic monster/seek.
ing at all times to trample upon the
Tights of private individuals. What a
false idea! Nothing is more foreign
x to the minds of the high officials of
j the Southern Railway.v Take the two
highest officials of that road, Mr. W.
? W. Finley, the president; and that
prince of good men Col. A. B. AnTnfta.nMeirloni1.
"Rrvt.Vi
U1Cno, WIO uiav tivv-fMV??>4VU?< wu.
of these gentlemen are Southerner's
of the highest character?men who
believe in the right and dare to do
the wrong. We mention these two
because their utterance and acts are
known to us personally, but we have
every reason to believe that all the
other officers of the road are men of
too large a calibre to stoop to any undertaking
that is not honorable, equitable
and just.
This'paper has ever stood upon the
high plane that railroads should be
treated with the same fairness as the
private individual.
Happily, the people are realizing
that if our Southland is to continue to
prosper, the railroads must get a
a "square" deal.
With the death of Dr. J. D. Pope,
for many years the dean of the law
department of the University of South
Carolina, the State loses one of nature's
noblemen, and one whose place
can never be filled. One by one the
gentlemen of the "old school" are
passing over the great divide to rest
with their fathers. May hi9 spotless
soul rest in peace.

, Official Notice.
We wish to direct attention to the
official notice of Postmaster Leaphart
published in another column. The
notice speaks for itself and needs no
comment from us. We have been
sounding the warning week after*
week for the past three months, and
with this issue of The Dispatch we
send out our last papers to those subscribers
who are now in arrears for
more than one year. We realize that
1 this will take from our list some of
our best friends, but the fault is not
ours. We believe that those who
have not paid within the rules of the
postoffice department will do so at an
early date, at which event their
papers will be;continued. But, however
this may be, po papers \tfill leave
this office after this issue that are not j
paig for as the law "requires.
It is a pleasureable fact that
Columbia now has four shows which
furnish a brilliant attraction for the
citizens. Every evening you can see
crowds of people headed for the different
attractions. The admission is
only ten cents, and the performances
only last about an hour. In one
evening you can "take them all in"
and thus pass away the time. There,
is no better place to get a glance at
Columbia's beautiful women than at
these little shows, and this alone is
worth the price of admission. Sweethearts
and lovers visit these places of
amusement, and it affords the clerks
a good place to recreate after a hard
days work. The performances are of
a high character and free from all distasteful
features. When you are in
Columbia visit these little theatres
for an evening of pleasure.
Among the prospective candidates
| for the legislature from Richland
j county we notice the name of that
big-hearted, whole-souled, scholarly
and most worthy young man, Charles
M. Galloway, of The State. He is
possessed of a? brilliant mind; is a
graduate of the law department of the
University of South Carolina, and his
ability to serye -the people of his
county and state in the legislature
has been amply proven by his good
work on The State. Such men as
Charles M. Galloway are not born
everyday, and he would refleckcredit
upon his county and state in the legislature.
It is passing strange that Governor
Ansel refused to give out the recoid
in the matter of Mr. B. F. Arthur,
late a member of the winding-up commission,
until after that gentleman
had resigned and accepted one of the
receiverships of the dispensary funds
at the hands of Federal Judge Pritchard.
In the language of the mighty
Tillman, "There is something rotten
up the creek."
/
It seems that the politicians of this
county are backward about making
their wants known. We notice that
several announcements have already
been made in our sister counties, and
we see no reason why our candidates
do not announce. Come ahead, gentleman,
don't be bashful.
Better pay your subscriptions now
if you want your papers continued.
The new postal law goes into effect
on April 1.
For a wonder there has been no recent
announcements for the United
States Senate. Are they all in?

very fine address at the Methodist

March 20. Her subject was, "Joshua'

strong and uplifting, being full of encouragement
to the local union.
