By invitation of the State railroad commissioners a conference of rail road officials assembled Tuesday morning in the office of the commis sion in Columbia to consider the fol lowing questions: 1. The practicability of separate accomodations for white ani colored passengers. 2. Local joint freight rates. 3. Rates on ‘ fertilizers and cotton between Charleston aud stations in the upper part of the State. There was a full discussion of the several questions for the consideration of which the conference was called. Representatives of each railroad system spoke of the matter of sepa rate passenger accommodations for the races. They agreed in declaring that to provide difierent cars for white and colored passengers would entail tqo heavy an expense upon the rail roads, and were prepared to show that at the present time the average number of passengers per car was on ly about fifteen. Nor could they see how to separate the races to the satis faction of the colored people. At the same time they admitted that on ex cursion trains and trains conveying lengers to large gatherings there n just cause of complaint in the crowding of cars with all sorts of people. This they propose to remedy iy increasing the passenger aocomo- so as to prevent the objection able intermingling of the races. They finally requested the railroad commissioners to formulate a propo sition looking to the improvement of the service In this respect and submit it to them for their action. As to the local joint rates and rates on fertilizers from Charleston, it was announced that the railroad authori ties would make up such rates and submit them hereafter for the approv al of the railroad commission. Be yond this no definite action was tak en by the conference. The Rev. W. A. Overton, one of the most prominent ministers in the Bap tist Church in Georgia, committed suicide at Greensboro, Ga., on Wed nesday, by shooting himself with a double barrelled shot gun. Rev. Mr. Overton was a man of per haps sixty years of age and through out the whole State, had been looked upon as a man of the highest Chris tian character, and superior mental power. Everybody thought he was an em inently good and pure ihan. He had raised a family, a good family, and S r&ndchildren are left to mourn his eath. He served, almost up to the time of his death, Several churches, among them Siloam.a parish some six miles east of Greensboro. Some two weeks since he was con ducting a protracted meeting at this church, and when the meeting had been in progress a few days, it was whisperod that Mr. Overton had tak en improper liberties with a young lady, prominent in the community. These whisperings increased and, growing with each day, the older members of the congregation catch ing hold of them, Mr. Overcon was requested to discontinue the meeting, which lie did. This seemed more than he could bear, and be sought refuge in suicide. TICE -OF for Charter.

It is rare that crop failures are so many and general as now reported. The wheat yield is much belodr the average, not only in the United States but oyer the world. I^ess than one- third the amount of corn produced last year will probably be harvested. Potatoes are snort iu the West and al most a total failure iu? Ireland; the peach crop is a failure, the apple crop nearly so, and garden fruits aud vege tables, particularly in the West, have generally suftered from drought and other causes. The crops in the lower sections of the Province of Quebec are so far a failure that Government aid Is sought, and hundreds of fami lies are preparing to leave. A winter of higher price* for food products gen erally seems to be approaching in both Europe and America. -MANUFACTURERS OF- L. JOHNSON, President. J. W. PRESTON, W. H.
