S. & W. TO LEASE TRACKS. Such is Statement of One of Road's Directors.-Mr. J. A. Brock's Statement. The St. Anderson. Nov. 21.-The South & Western ra.: roa'i has pra,:tieally madQ arrangements viih the Charles ton & Western Car(,.na ro-i I to use the tracks of the latter between Spartanburg and Greenwood, via Laurens, 60 miles in length. There has been no eff 'n i"ae part of t:c S.'i:h & Western rIad officials to buy c.utright the tra--_5 of the "Cliarieston & Western Carolina tracks. Mr. J. A. Broek, president cf sev eral Anderson cotton mills and a di rector in the Charleston & Western Carc.lina road, gave this information t% this correspondent today when he returned -from a directors' meeting of the road, held in Charleston yes terday. "The purchase of the road by the South & Western people was not brought up at the meeting yesterday. This meeting was the annual one and was only a formal one," said Mr. Bcck. "However, - I had a private eonversation with Mr. Walters, chief owner and first vice president of tha Charleston & Western Carolina road, and he told me that President Clarke of the South & Western road had ap proached him on two occasions to get trackage arrangements between Spartanburg and Greenwood, via Laurens. Mr. Walters says . that ' while the contract had not been sign ed, it has been practically arranged for the tracks 'etween Spartanburg and Greenwood to be let to the South & Western. Mr. Walters says that the people baeking 'the South & West ern road have money and mean busi ness. Among those interested in that road are Ryan, Maj. Winder and others. It is said that the Seaboard Air Line is behind the whole move ment.'' Mr. Brock was asked what 'the South & Western would do after it got to Greenwood. He replied, "I do not know and I do not think that Mr. Walters knows. It is said, how ever, in railroad circles that Green wood will be made a distributing point, ,and that the road will go from that point to Savannah. I asked Mr. Walters why the South & Western did not use the tree's of the Colum hia, Newberry & Laurens from Laur-' ens to Charleston. He said that leavier rails and heavier roadbeds 'would be necessary for the class ,of' freight ,to be hauled.'' Mr. Broek was asked what had. been done toward construicting the South & Western road. He replied, "!The Souith & Western road has about 90 miles of track completed ' and in operation. It commences at Elkhorn, Ky., and goes toward Spar tanburg. The distance between those two points is approximately 300 miles. The completion of the road from Elkhora to a port in South Carolina or Georgia means the open ing up of more than 300,000 acres of coal fields.'' It is very evident that the South &Western is not getting the use of the Charleston & Western tracks be tween Laurens to Greenwood to make Greenwood, for that end could be gained should the Columbia, Newber ry & Laurens road bet-ween Laur ens and Clinton be used. The dis tance between Clinton and Laurens is only nine miles and the distance Between Laurens and Greenwood is 28miles. DISPENSARY BATTLE. To Test Constitutionality of the 'Carey-Cothran Law-Charles ton Movinig. 'The State. .Charlestan, Nov. 21.-The service of the many injunctions during the past week or fwo, restraining dealers from selling liquor and property own ers and agents from permitting its sale on their property is aibout to re sult, it is understood, in a big legal battle to test the validity of the Carey-C'othran act and the' issue of these inj~unctions. Attorney J. P. K. Bryan has been -engaged by S. P. Schiaderessi, one of the parties enjoined yesterday, and it is understood that Mr. Bryan is to be the leading counsel in the distiguished array of legal talent wMenh is to attack the dispensary law as it now stands upon the books. It will be recalled that it was Mr. Bryan who carried the famous Can tini case before the late Judge Sim ontor and secured an opinion that thie law was unconstitutional, an opinioin which was afterwards re versed by the United States supreme eourt. The supreme court allowed, hiowever, the importation of liquor for. pernal use, a provision of the law which has given the state its chief trouble in the enforcement of the act ever since it was announced. The pending action will probably be the biggest fight that has been made against the dispensary system since Mr. Bryan's fight, and it is possible that the present proceedings may be of even greater scope and ef fect. Tiere are said to be several features of the Carey-Cothran act whose validity is questioned by te lawyers, chiefly along the line of the right of the county to sell where th right is to be held only by the state, under the constitution, it is said. Not Discussing Matter. The lawyers are, of dourse, averse to discussing their cases in the news papers and are very closemouthed as to what steps they will take, but sufficient information has been se cured to warran:t the statement that a big legal battle is pending. Appearances have been entered in several cases by attorneys and addi tional appearances will probably be entered before the cases are formally heard next week. So far as announc ed Mr. Bryan will appear for Schiad eressi; John D. Cappelmann for the Charleston Rifle club; Logan & Grace for Riddock & Byrns and also for Pat Carroll; Mordecai, Gadsden, Rutledge & Hagood for the Charles ton hotel; George Momeier for the Turnverein and others. In the array of counsel will be lawyers represent ing the owners and agents of proper tv in which the alleged violations of the dispensary act have taken place. It is on account of the property owners and agents that a particular ly strong fight will be made. It is said that the owners of property can not be enjoined legally, as they have been under the services of the papers recently and the lawyers having charge of these property interests will present a strong ease. The dispensary situation was much talked about today, especially in blind tiger circles. The fact that oth er injunctions have been prepared and are ready for service' makes the dealers generally uneasy. None of these' papers were, however, served today. ONE MILLION BALBS SHORT.
