A ~ | : 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. t ' * 4 ' < 'v"..

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.

Mrs. Emma G. Dietrick,' organizer I and lecturer of the Woman's Chris[ tian Temperance Union, delivered a very fine address at the Methodist church at Chapin on the evening of March 20. Her subject was, "Joshua' and roe Woman's Christian Temperence Union," and her address was strong and uplifting, being full of encouragement to the local union.
