Same Rates Adopted in North

News and Courier.
Columbia, January 13.-Mr. Al,x
ander Hamilton, of Petersburg, Va.,
first vice president and general coun
sel of the Atlantic Coast Line, ac
companied by Mr. P. A. Willecx, of
Florence, state con:i;el for the same
company, held a e>u;erez(c this af
tern->on in the ofte c.f the governor
with Governor An -l and J e mem
bers of the railroad .commission. At
torney General Lyon, was also present
at th- req,.est ofe .; hecrernor.
M-. mniltor, who did the talking
for the railroad compry. did not o'
fer any definite 0;ne : i, reduc
tion ir. rates. but e .nten?ecl himself
with sayinig th^t ..1V('r rates ar.
put into effect by the road in North
Ca rni either by 'r n iry agree

en Sopfh Carolin::.
*Mr. Hamilton in beginning review
ed the reres of the railroad rate
legish ti-n and litizzatic.n hi the south
ern states and explained in detail th?
agreements settled on in the states of
Alabama. Georgia and North - Car
olina. and the situation in Virginia,
where conditions at this true are dif
ferent from the condi:ions in the
other states. He said th:.t the only
reason the Coast Line had :ot agreed
fully to the proposition iade by
Governor Glenn is that the proposi
tion includes an agreement as to in
ter-state rates, and the Coast Line
4es not think it proper to enter into
any agreement as to inter-sate rates
uness it has the sanetion of the in
ter-state commerce commission. He
did not see any reason, however, why
the same inter-state rates proposed
by the Southern should not be put in
to effect by the Atlantic Coast -Line,
and if the schedule of rates proposed
is put into effect in North Carolina
for 12 months the Coast Line would
do the same in South Carolina.
Governor Ansel asked Mr. Hamil
ton wfiat date he proposed to put
these rates into effect, and Mr. Hamil
ton replied that he thought it could
be done by April 1st. Mr. Hamiton
referred to the 'fact that the railroad
commission in this state has th'e pow
er under the Taw to fix the rates, pro
viding they do not fix a rate higher
than three cents a mile, and he
thought it could be left to the comn
mission to say whether the proposi
tion made by the Atlantic 'Coast Line
was reasonable or not. The rates
would 'be' given a trial of one year,
if the Coast Line carries out its in
tentions, as a shorter time than that
would not give a fair test.
