MTTBAGEB BILL KILLED.
It Was Amended Out of Shape and
Then Killed.
Columbia, February 23.-The sen
ate reversed itself on the railroad
rate bill tonight, and after adopting
the Weston amendment killed the en
tire bill. This leaves t'he mileage and
rate question as formerly. Senator
Rogers moved to strike out the enact
ing words of the bill, and this was
carried by a viva voce vote. The bill
has been discussed two days.
When tahe railroad .rate bill came
up for discussion Senator Weston
proposed an amendment as follows:
"Add another section as follows:
"Any railroad company operating
or owning a railroad in this State may
offer for sale at a price or rate not
to exceed two cents a mile inter
changeable mileage books, which
shall not be good for transportation
exce~pt when exchanged for a ticket:
Provided, There is a ticket office open
at the station where the passenger
boards the train."
Senator Weston explained this
amnendiment. stating that he had been
informed that if the bill passes the
interchamngeable mileage books would
be taRen off sale.
'oenator Crosson made a straight,
matter-of-fact talk in support of
striking ont t'he enacting words of
the bill. He stated that the travel
ling publie now has a 20 per cent in
ducement to buy the interchangeable
mileage book. He thought the drum
mers are nowv given privileges, suchl
as carrying 200 pounds of baggage.
He has investigated the matter care
fully and has found that since the
ticket auditors have been put on the
receipts have increase,d 17 1-2 per
cent, also that the roads in this State
lost $100,000 in the August floods.'
He had voted for the bill. but saw
'his mistake and would vote for kill
in' t,he bill. He referred to the loss

Senator Mauldin stated tha.t he was,
for seeing the railroads' accommoda
tions improved, but does not believe
ni telling the railroads how to con
duct their business.
There were sevgral speeches for
and against the Weston amendment.
Senator Laney vigorously opposed
the amendment. The vote to indefin
itely postpone, offered by Senator
Laney, resulted: Yeas, 10; nays, 19.
Senator Weston's amendment was
moved to be tabled by Senator Sulli
van and the vote resulted Yeas, 11;
nays, 17.
The vote upon the adoption of the
Weston amendment resulted as fob

Senator Cliftons offered an amend
ment, which wvas to pr-operly designate
the word "agent' in t,he bill. Sena
tor McKeithan offered an amend
ment to strike out "'by the shortest
route."' Then came the killing of the

which thousands of estates are requir
ed to be settled and for the preserva
tion qf papers and records constantly
increasing so necessary and essential
for the inspection and protection of
future generations, should be suffi
cient for ithe demands of the busi
ness, and so situated and located that
when tdhe circumstances require it the
said papers and records could be ob-:
tained.
In my effort to aieeomplish this de
sire, endorsed by the petition whieh
has already appeared in public print,
ithe matter has been brought promi
nently before the public, and I think,
sufficiently ventilated. In reference:
to the allegations or charges corn-.
plained of by the auditor against the:
supervisor, in ;his effort to move him:
after the board of ocmmissioners had
made a decison as to who should occu
py the different offices, I will simply
make the followiing 'statement and
let the public draw their own conclu
sions:
Whien the present auditor was tak
ing charge of the offiee, the supervi
sor, after assuring him in my pres-:
enee that the board ilhad an un-pleas-:
ant duty to perform and it was his
duty to have the matter pleasantly
and agreeab)ly adjust'ed, asked him if
it could not be done without action on
their part, he replied that he prefer
red for the board t!o make the decis
ion, that their action would be satis
factory to him .and added, that there
would be no feeling so far .as lie was
concerned. As to the supervisor be
ing loeked out when he attempted to
move us, and my inconvenee, etc.,
it is not necessary for me to say any
thing. In view of the fact that the
omeies belonz to the people and the
officials while in office are their pub
lic servants, I can 't see that our ap
proval or disapproval in regard to
whart office we shall occupy should be
considered, but in my humble judg
me.nt I tihink it preferale and by far
safer to risk the judgment of the ar

(if it was in my province to do so)
that it would be presumption on my

saying what office shall be occupied
by the probate judge and if possible
litiation should be avoided.

a fraud. It is said that similar action

Mrs. Armor has come and gone. She
spoke twelve times, going into the
different sections of the city, winning
hosts of friends and hundreds of con
verts to prohibition for the District
of Columbia. At every service men
and women assured us that they were
with us in the fight for a clean city.
The initerest kept gaining, and at the
last service, held Sunday evening,
January 31, at the National Theater,
the building was filled with an audi
enee largely composed of men. They
sang again and again, "Washington's
going dry,'' at last st-anding and wav
ing ihandkerchiefs and.<lapping hands
to showv their interest. Mrs. Armo
never spoke better than a~t that ser
vice, and when she made an appeal
for funds to carry forward the work,
$925 was raised, making in all during
the series of meetings nearly $2,000.
Two hundred and fifty names were
secured for new members, and the
presidents ,of local unions are seek
ing these newcomers, bringing them
right into the unions and thus crown
ing the work with blessed results. We
feel that a new and great impetus has
come to the work from t-he visit of
Mrs. Armor, and pray God 's blessing
to go with her.
Mrs. Armor will be in South Caro
lina in April.and we expect results.
The Dallas News, a leading Texas
