S. & W. TO LEASE TRACKS. Such is Statement of One of Road'; Directors.?Mr. J. A. Brock's Statement. Tho S'.iiJc. Anderson, Nov. 21.?'I'llo Soulii Western ra-lroau has practically mad/' arrangements villi the Charles ton & Wes11"rn Carolina coal to list the tracks of (lie latter belweet Spartanburg and Greenwood, vii Laurens, <>0 miles in Km;??Ili. Tlici has been no eff>r; on 1.10 part of tat Sevh & Western r m-I ollicials |o buy i-n! righl tiic !ra?-:s of ihe ( hat!c.-lon it Western Carolina tracks. Ir. ?l. A. Mrock. president rf ,-tveral Anderson eolton mills and a director in 1 fi<? ('liarleston & Western Carolina road, gave this information t:* iliis ciirrespoiideMl today when lie rt.tiirned from a directors' meeting of the road, held in Charleston yesterday. "'The purchase of the road by the Soulii iV Western people was not hroughl 1111 at the nice ling yesterday. Ibis meeting was the annual one and was only a formal one," said Mr. Brock. "However, I had a private universal ion with Mr. Wallers, chief frwncr :iiid lirs| vice president of the 1-liarb'sloii tV Weslern Carolina road, nid lie lol.l me licit President Clarice ill the South iV Western road had approached him mi two occasions to yet iracka-jv arrangements between Spartanburg ami (ireenwood. via I.aureus. Mr. Walters says Ilia! while the contract had not been signed. it has been practically arranged for I be tracks 'ml ween Spartanburg au<| (ireenwood io be lei to the Sou lb & Western. Mr. Wallers says thai the people hacking lhe South & Western road have money and mean business. Among lliose interested in that road are h'yan. Ma,j. Winder and others, h is said thai (he Seaboard Aii I.ine is behind I lie whole movement .'' Mr. I'rock was ask<M wlial the Eolith iV Western would do alter it {M'f to (ireenwood. lie replied, ''I do not know and I , 1. m>t think (hat M :. Waller- know s. 11 i- ..aid. how ever. i;i railroad eireles thai < ireenwood will be made a disl ribui ing point, and iliai Hie road will go Ironi that point to Savannah. I asked Mr. Wallers why Ihe South Weslern did not 11 >e Ihe (racks < > t the Cofmnhia. Newberry tV Laurens from Laurens to Charleston, lie said that heavier rails and heavier roadbeds would be necessary for the class of freight to be hauled." Mr. Mrock was asked what had been done toward constructing the South & Weslern road. He replied, ""I lib South & Western road has about DO miles of track completed and in operation. It commences at Llkhorn, Kv.i and goes toward Spartanburg. The distance between those two points is approximately .'{00 miles. The completion of the road from Klkhorn to a port in South Carolina or Georgia means the opening up of more than .'{00.000 acres of coal fields." It i.- very evident that the South & Wcsieni is not getting the use ol the Charleston A: Western tracks between [.aureus to (ireenwood to make {livenwood, for that end could be gained should the Columbia, Newberry tte Laurens road between Laurans and Clinton be used. The distance between Clinton and Laurens is only nine miliss and the distance between Laurens and Greenwood is 2K miles. DISPENSARY BATTLE. Yo Test Constitutionality of tho Carey-Cothran Law-Charleston Moving. The Stale. ( liarleston. Nov. *21,-- -The service of the many injunctions during (he past week or two, res!raining dealer* from selling lioiior and properly own pi's and agents from permitting itsale on their property is about lo result. it is understood, in a big legal battle to test the validity of the Carey-Cothran act and the issue ol these injunctions. Attorney J. 1\ K. Bryan has beer engaged by S. P. Schinderessi, one of Ihe parlies enjoined yesterday and it is understood that Sir. Bryai is to be (he leading counsel in th< distinguished array of legal talenl which is to attack Ihe dispensary law as it now stands upon the books It will be recalled that it was Mr Bryan who carried tho famous Can tini case boforo tho la to Judge Sim onton and secured an opinion thai the law was unconstitutional, ai opinioin which was afterwards re versed by the United States supreme eonvt. Tho supremo court allowed IiowGvcr, tho importation of liquoi for personal use, a provision of the law wliicli lias given the state it chief trouble i:i the enforcement o s the act ever since it was announced. The pending action will probabl, he the biggest 1'ight that has beei made against the dispensary syston since Mr. Bryan's Tight, and it i : possible that the present proceeding may be of even greater scope and ef " foct. There are said to be severa ; features of the Carey-Cot bran a<; ' whose validity is questioned by ihi 1 lawyers, chiefly along the lino of tin s right of the county to sell where tin right is to be held only by the state tinder the constitution, it is said. Not Discussing Matter. The lawyers are, of course, averse Id discussing their cases in t,he news papers and are very closemouthec as to what steps they will take, bul sufficient information has been secured to warrant the statement that a hi it battle is pending. Appearances have been entered i'.i several cases by attorneys and additional appearances will probably br entered before the cases are formally heard next week. So far as announced Mr. Bryan will appear for Schiaderessi; dolr.i 1). Cappelmann for the Charleston Rifle club; 1/Ogan & (irace for Kiddock & Byrns and also for l'at Carroll: Mordccai, Gadsden, 111111 c*?I _? ?"* v.V I lagood for the CharlesIon hotel; (ieorge Momeier for the Turnverein and others. In tlie array of counsel will be lawyers representing ih>' owners and agents of property in which the alleged violations of tin' dispensary act have taken place. It is on account of the property owners and agents that a particularly strong fight will be made. It is said thai the owners of property can ;iot he enjoined legally, as I hey have been under the -services of the papers recently and the lawyers having charge of these property interests will present a strong case. The dispensary situation was much talked about today, especially in blind tiger circles. The fact that other injunctions have been prepared :init nre ready for service makes the dealers generally uneasy. None of ilie-e papers were, however, served lo.iav. !
