AIKEN, 8. C.. MARCH 11, 1892.
The Kailroads Obtain an Ipjuuctiou.
The railroad companies of the State
have put another spoke in Mr. Eller-
bee’s wheel in the matter of the ille
gal increase of assessments.
On Monday bills were filed in the
United States Court in Charleston by
all railroads doing business in this
Slate, with the exceptions of the Sea
board Air Line, Columbia, Newberry
and Laurens, and Charleston and Sa
vannah, praying an injunction to re
strain county treasurers and sheritfs
from issuing executions against or
leyying upon the property of railroad
companies in South Carolina for non
payment of taxes on the basis of in
creased assessment ordered by the
board in December last. The roads
had tendered payment of taxes on
the assessment of the year before, but
this had been refused. The time for
payment of taxes expired February
20th, and the time for the beginning
of suits by the State is fixed for
March 9th.
Judge Simonton, after hearing the
prayer of the petitioners, issued an or
der enjoining the treasurers and sher
iff’s of the State from issuing such
executions until April 4th, unless the
order should be set aside.
This injunction stops these proceect-
ings and opens up a long litigation,
and about $300,000 of State and Coun
ty taxes are locked up for an indefi
nite period. This loss of revenue
caused by the appeal of the railroads
to the law will be very hard to meet.
In the effort to make a record of seem
ing economy, the tax levy has been
cut down to the bare requirements of
the State government, and based upon
a greatly increased assessment main
ly of the property of corporations.
The banks have appealed to the
courts and have had tlieir assessments
reduced to conform to law and equity.
That has cut oft expected revenue.
The phosphate companies took the
same course with the same result of
further reduction in revenue. Now
the railroads have appealed to the
courts for protection, and about $300,-
000 more of revenue is withheld until
the United States Courts—perhaps
even the Supreme Court of the United
States—shall determine the questions
justice and equity involved.
LW will the deficit be met? That
roblem which the admiuistra-
|e incompetency has caused
solve
prominent manufacturer of Charles
ton in a letter to The News and Cour
ier, says: All indications point to
much less shipments cf Fertilizers
during March and April of this year
as compared with March and April of
1891, and as numbers of Eastern man
ufacturers have reduced their ship
ments to the South very largely, as
contpared with last year, and as some
have absolutely declined to offer a
ton of goods—notably the well-estab
lished house of John Merrymau & Co.,
of Baltimore—it would appear that
when the season is enaed and the
statistics are carefully compiled, there
will be an iuecrease in the consump
tion of fertilizers shown of about 40
or 50 per cent, throughout the South.
Dr. John R. Parker attempted to
commit suicide in Augusta, on Mon
day by shooting himself in the head
with a pistol. He would have suc
ceeded if it had not been that the pis
tol used was a very inferior one. As
it was the ball entered the right side
of the head, and ranged around to
wards the back, indicting a painful
but not necessarily a dangerous
wound. Dr. Parker is a man of 58
years of age, and graduated with
honors from the Medical College of
Charleston, but has never practiced
his profession. The rash act is
thought to have been due to a fit of
insanity.
Thus far mass meetings have been
held in Hampton, Orangeburg, Edge-
field, and Spartanburg, and delegates
elected to the Democratic convention
on the24th inst., in Columbia.
Mass Meeting tor 17tb March.
Felloic Democrats:
As a party we are approaching the
coming elections, both National and
State, divided into factions, weakened
by lack of unity and estranged by in
ternal wranglings and discord, brought
about by the head of the present State
administration, inciting neighbors and
followers of ditferent occupations
against each other, aud by the abuse
and misrepresentation indulged in dur
ing the last campaign.
The estrangement, discord and po
litical distrust thus unwisely created
has been kept up by a continued dis
regard of the rights and privileges of
portions of our people. Those who
gave the movement their support from
the beginning have been denounced and
denominated “rotten drift wood,” when
in the exercise of their duty they dared
oppose the will of the executive and up
hold the constitution they had sworn t»
support and defend, that the legislative
aud executive shall be distinct and in
dependent branches of the Govern
ment.
Those who distrusted the ability and
purpose of the present administration
to fulfill their promises and carry out
the reforms that they asserted they
would, and notified the people of their
distrust, have been, and are still treated
as opponents of good government, and
the State thereby is deprived of their
experience aud counsel in the time of
her greatest need, for men acquainted
with public affairs, and this, although
these men, like true and tried Democrats
gave their support and votes for the tri
umph of the nominees of the party.
The Governor and other State officers
have assumed arbitrary power, which
but for an upright judiciary would have
overthrown Constitutional rights aud
liberty. And for holding evenly and
fairly the scales of justice, tl
