GOV. .EY WARD TALKS. Of Conditions Existing in South Car olina-Not Interested in Poli tics, He Says. Ex-o(vernor D. C. Heyward ls spending severals days in Washing toa. The Charleston News and Cou rier's Washington correspondeni "ends that paper the following inter estin interview: "Conditions in South Carolina ar( very satisfactory on the. whole. Oi course, the prevailing stringency i: the money market is feit there a: elsewhere. and on that account the banks have had some trouble in se Curing money for the farmers ui their cotton. The farmers in omt state. you know. have the best cottoi crotp in the south, as the government reports show, and under normal fin ancial conditions should be in posi tion to do a lot of busines this fall The general prosperity of the coun try. and of the south particularly, ha. resulted in tying up a great deal of money in investments, and the strin gency is not therefore of so seriouw a character as to cause alarm. Mani of our farmers have asked loans or their cotton, desiring to hold it foi a better price, and as I am interested both in the banking and warehousf business I am in a position to know that it is the desire of the banks tc assist the farmers in this effort as fa] as possible. "In order to meet the demand foi currency the banks in Charleston Columbia and several other Souti Carolina cities have issued elearinE house certificates, and these hav< found general circulation, so that the trouble has been greatly alleviated and I believe will eventually be en. tirely remedied by natural causes The situation illustrates very forci bly the need for changes in our bank ing system. of providing a more flex ible currency and the action of con. gress will be awaited with great in terest, especially by the people of the south. "There has been no legislation o1 agitation in South Carolina recentl3 to frighten off capital or to alarn investors. We are railroad builders not railroad haters, in South Caro. lina. Within the last few month< several new lines have been project ed or began, and as far as possibl< our people are putting their mone2 into such developments. Take Salu da court house for instanee; the on ly court house town in the state which has not a railroad. The peopl4 of that section have gone to work ii earnest and are now preparing t< build a railroad from that town t< some point on the Southern,, and il should be from the start a paymns proposition, because it passes througi a splendid count-ry. Then it is only a matter of time before there is an other line across the mountains to th< coal fields. The South and Western it seems,. will eventually comt through to Spartanburg and then t< Columbia and Chiarleston. I trust. "'All such new lines will receive n'&t only a warm welcome, but fail treatment in our courts and in om legislature. "The railroads are not afraid t< trust our courts and the people have the same confidence in the Souti Carolina judges and juries. The 1,eg islature at its last session appointed a committee from both houses to in vestigate railroad conditions, witi especial reference to the alleged dis oriminations against Charleston, and theis commission has been doing its work quietly, without any grand stand methods or ,brass band display. Its r'eport will doubtless be helpful to all interests. "There was some talk of reducina passenger fare at the last session, bui the commercial travellers who were pushing t.he bill agreed te let it gc over, hoping that the railroads wouxk improve their facilities and endeav or to make their schedules. There has been a great improvement in th< last twelve months in respect t( sche&ules; the roads lengthened their schedules and the trains nou~ arrive on time more frequently. T< my mind that is- what the peoplt .want. It does not make much differ enee to the average man whether hi pays three :eits per mile or 2 1-4 ents, if he can .be sure that he will ardve at his destination when du4 and that he is not likely to be kille& in a wreck en route. There is no po pular demand, so far as I have dis covered for reduced fares. but ther< i3 a demand for safety of travel ani convenience and certainty of schedul es. The shipper and buyer feel th< same way-they want not so mueh further reductions~ in rates. but celr. ity and safety of transportation. Oui people reaflize that thle traffie has ou zrowo the roads and that the rea. must he Criven a chance to ratch np aill Llt ill 1 i tle'.1' r 'i iiu stock.

You kaow Souti Carolina is Ire quelltly sp. ken of as a hut-bed. where all sorts of ,radical things are propagated. but she is really a very conservutive people.' "H(w about. poliies. governor?'' I have ceased to think about po .litiEs sil:ce i left the governor's of iiee last January. devoting myself en tirely to business and don't. even talk about things political now, so you -. i hasve', t ; :eus?E me. -ir".' GARRETT CASE. Judge Pritchard Has Discussed the Petition For Mandamus-Blind Tiger Injunctions. _lu.:usta Ch-roniCle. Columbia. S. C.. Nov. 22.-Attor ney General Lyon returned from Richmond today, where he appe:red before Judge Pritchard in the Garrett injunction matter, bringing back a copy of Judge Pritchard 's drder dis missing the petition for mandamus to require the commission to hang up all the funds until the Garrett claim is -adjudicated, but quiring the com mission to set aside $10,000 for Gar rett's prosecution until the question of the federal court's -jurisdietion can be decided. Mr. Lyon does not believe Judge Priteliard will decide I that he has jurisdiction. Mr. Lyca smiled good-naturedly to day when he was asked about the movement. that has started in Char leston to test the constitutionality of the Carey-Cothran law in the federal courts. He said he was not a bit afraid of the outcome. All he would ask the federal courts to do would be to stand by their former decisions. iwhen they reversed Judge Simon to:i. who declared the old state dis pensary law unconstitutional in the Carolina case. ;ia; on Mr. Lyon's desk this morning were three big bundles of "priated matter" just from the prin ter. Investigation showed that this was ammunition 'for more injuncetion broadsides. The bundles were peti t.ion forms, injunctiou erder forms and "baeks" for the orders in which to send to the attorneys of tigers en joined. A ream of each had been printed. All that will be necessary now to go through the red tape of securing an injunction against a blind tiger will .be to fill out one of these petitions with the names of the persons and the location of the plac es and then follow by filling in the other forms. Mr. Lyon denied that it was the instantion to have Justice Gary sign these injunction orders in blanks. NOTICE TO OVERSEERS.
