GOV. HEYWARD TALKS. Of Conditions Existing in South Carolinarr?Not Interested in Poli\ tics, Ho Says. Ex-Governor I). C. 1 Toy ward is spending Severn Is days in Washington. iMie Charleston News and Courier's Washington correspondent sends that paper the following interesting interview: "Conditions in South Carolina are very satisfactory on (he. whole. Of course, the prevailing stringency iu I he money market is felt there as elsewhere, and on (lint account (he hanks have had some trouble in securing money for the farmers on their cotton. The fanners in our state, yon know, have the best cotton crop in the. south, as the government reports show, and under normal financial conditions should he in position to do a lot of busines this fall. The general prosperity of the country. and of the south particularly, has resulted in tying up a great deal of money in investments, and the stringency is not, therefore of so serious a character as to cause alarm. Many of our farmers have asked loans on their cotton, desiring to hold it for a bettor price, and as I am interested both in (ho banking and warehouse business I am in a position to know that it is the desire of the banks to assist the fanners in this effort as far as possible. "Til order to meet Hie demand for currency tho banks in Charleston, Columbia and several other South Carolina cities have issued clearing house certificates, and these have found general circulation, so that the trouble has been greatly alleviated, and L believe will eventually be entirely remedied by natural causes. The situation illustrates very forcibly the need for changes in our banking system, of providing a more flexible currency and the action of congress will be awaited with great in- . teres), (specially by the people of the south. "There has been no legislation or agitation in South Carolina recently to frighten off capital or to alarm investors. We are railroad builders, not railroad balers, in South Carolina. Within the last few months several new lines have been projected or begun, and as far as possible our jwople are putting their money into such developments. Take Saluda court house for instance; the only Court house town in the stale which has not a railroad. Tho people of that section have gone to work in earnest and are now preparing to build a railroad from that town to some point on the Southern, and it should be from the start a paying proposition, because it passes through' a splendid country. Then it is only a matter of time before there is another line across the mountains to the coal fields. The South and Western, it seems._ will eventually come through to Spartanburg and then to Columbia and Charleston. 1 trust. "All such new lines will receive nut only a warm welcome, but fair treatment in our courts and in our legislature. "The railroads are not afraid to trust our courts and the people have the same confidence in the South Carolina judges and juries. The legislature at its last session appointed a committee from both houses to investigate railroad conditions, with especial reference to the alleged discriminations against Charleston, and this commission has been doing its f work quietly, without any grand atand methods or , brass band display. Tts report will doubtless be helpful to all interests. "There was some talk of reducing passenger fare at the last session, but the commercial travellers who were pushing tho bill agreed to let it go over, hoping that tho railroads would improve their facilities and endeavor to make their schedule*?. There has been a great improvement in the last twelve months in respect to schedules; the road's lengthened their schedules and the trains now arrive on time more frequently. To my mind that is what the people want. It does not make much difference to the average man whether he pays three 'ceqis per mile or 2 1-2 cents, if he can be sure that he will arrive at- his destination when due and that he is not likely to be killed in a wreck en route. There is no popular demand, so far as J have discovered for reduced fares, but there is a demand for safety of travel and l convenience and certainty of schedules. The shipper and buyer feel the / same way?'they want not so much further reductions in rales, but celerity and safety of transportation. Our people realize that (he traffic has outgrown the roads and that the road must be given a chanco to catch up, by making improvements in roadbed ' i f and addition^ to (heir rolling stoe I hoy arc willing ho give the roa< reasonable time to 'makp these ii provements and do not care to ham or thorn in Hi car efforts to seen re tl money with which to do it. ^ on know South Carolina is fr quently spoken of as a hot-bo where all sorts oi\rad.ical things rt propagated, but she .is really a vei conservative people." "How about politics, governor?' "I have ceased to think about p lit'ics since I lel't the governor's o lice last January, devoting mysell' e tiiel\ to business ami don't, even ta about filings political now. so y? will have to excuse me, sir." GARRETT CASE. Judge Fritcliard Has Discussed tl Petition For Mandamus?Blind Tiger Injunctions. A ugusta ('.bronich'. Columbia, S.
