Tuesda\\ March 30, 191.". - ; "A BLASTED SHAME." 5t it a "blasted" s-ame that the Southern has taken off that Pullman car that was pulled between Columbia and Greenville. It comes to Columbia and - - - 1 J 11 A ts ry It \\-O c o little IS :.ieiQ caexe uu ua.?. U j sop that was thrown out to ti is di- { i Yision, and while a great many people > cid not use it, yet it was more patron- j iied than some Pullmans that we know j that are being run. j This di ision o. the Southern is one ' \| e; the best paying divisions in the sys-! I tern, we :.ave always i eard, and we gei only the refuse and what money is j made over here is taken to buiiu up some other division or the main line. We submit to the officials that this is rot just or fair treatment. The coaches 2re generally those ti;at f.iave been discarded on the main lines. The Pullmans that were run over here were of the old makes but still they were Pullmans. The last trip of this car carried ten j passengers out of Columbia for Greenville, and the night before, we are told, t&at tl:e ear was practically filled with passengers from Greenville. The Atlantic Coast Line operates a Pullman between Columbia and Flor- j ( ence. The otner night when we got in | it in Columbia we were the only pas-; senger to Florence, but on the return J trip the car was very nearly filled. We { do not hear that it is to be taken off. j We spoke to Railroad Commissioner j 1 ? ? 1 . -I _ +V>^ noii i Oiiticiiv suuui i; t' i uiuui i at tuc wa>s to be taken off and he said that the commission was going to insist on the car being retained. We called him up the next day and told him that . the order ihad been given to take the car off, and fee said the commission > could not help it, as it was interstate. .y " fWell, i| tbaMs the way the commission sees it there is no hope .from them. We appeal to the Southern as a matter of fair dealing to give their custimers and patrons on this .neglected linp at least this little accommodation. | We are entitled to some consideration. At Newberry we fcave the same old freight depot that was here when we first came to Newberry, and that has been so long tJbat the memory of very few people here now runs to the contrary. And our passenger station, which is misnamed a union station, is no suda sort of a thing as we should Vv#%TTyv *? ? ff V* r?i rviTTAf "f V* KnC?inACfi na?c ill d LV *> 11 nidi gitco cut: uuoinuoo to the road that Newberry does. \ If expenses must be cut, take off your ticket takers, or whatever you call them. They are useless appendages. IThe day coaches as a rule are unsanitary and crowded and to take a trip from Greenville or Anderson to Columbia in one of them is a very tiresome and tedious and wearing job. If one wants to go only to Charleston now he must go to Columbia to start. If the towns from Greenville to Columbia had any spirit they would enter such a protest that would make some of the officials high up, who ride around in their private cars in ease ) and comfort, sit up and take notice. Of course, these fellows will say they know wi:at they are doing, but we maintain that the traveling public is entitled to some sort of consideration and snmp convenience. Givp us a fair deal over here. That is all we ask. We ask you to read the interview of Senator Banks, which ihe gives out after his return from New York. He went North with State Warehouse Commissioner McLaurin to see wlrat couli be done towards getting some money on cotton warehouse receipts of State warehouses. He secured $10,000 and he says the only difficulty he found was tlhat the financiers did not want | to let him have so small an amount, i And he nays only 5 Der cent, oer an-! num on it, straight interest. If only our banks would have made arrangements to advance some money on cotton warehouse receipts last fall the farmers now would have been in "position to have paid the merchants and the banks and the country would 1 have been out of debt. The farmers had fait!: in their c-Qtton, but the banks did not, and at least one time in our history a cotton warehouse receipt for cotton was not considered good collateral. A great many of the farmers were forced to sell at a re cluced price and or course coma not pay out in many cases, and as a result every one has suffered. The merchants possibly more than any other class. Cotton is now about 9 cents the pound. A lot of it I:ad to be sold at j 7 cents and less. Think of the differ- j ence this money would have made in t'.e volume of businesi5~-done in this section and the debts that could have been paid. The t: ing for the farmer to do is to get independent and then | 1 ~ y.rtr?T?-*r?vi J l-? ^ w. n r\* Of I lit? fan (jvjuiiiirtjiu jji? u n jji n,t, <ji ui. least, a living price, for his staple. Mr. McLaurin says he wi!l give out a statement as to the result of is trip in a few days. There is some cotton in the country yet and business will brig ten up as cotton advances. That was a disastrous fire in Prosperity last Friday. Just about .fcalf t!:e buildings for business purposes in the town were destroyed in iess than two hours. Fortunately several of them were not occupied. Those that were burned were of wooden construction and made insurance almost prohibitive. Most of the buildings will be rebuilt and while the loss falls heavily on tfaose wl':o owned the buildings, in the end the fire will be a blessing in disguise. A better and more substantial set of buildings will take the place cf those burned. The greatest loss was the handsome and modern residence of Mr. W. A. Moseley. His insurance will not more than cover one-half of his loss. He lost also most of his ousel:old gcods. But rPosperity plac-k and enterprise will soon rebuild a better and more substantial town. The SoutJ-ern will of course comply with the request of the doctors ana i put the sleeper on at least the three days tie State Medical society is in session in Greenwood.?Greenwood Journal. If the Southern can do this for the accommodation of t)':e doctors, why can it not be done for the benefit of its customers and patrons who ride every day? As we read the opinion of the attorney general it is not unlawful for any one to buy a little whiskey from one of t|:e dispensaries in another countv and bring it home with him, provided it is for his own use and not for illicit purposes. But he can not bring it for anot&er. Thursday of this week is Field and Fair day for the schools of Newberry county, and it is expected Chat all of the county will be in Newberry that day. Hhe Herald and 'News has received a batch of bulletins on tf.e construction and use of the SDlit log drag. We have i:ad them for some time and will be glad to give them to any one who is interested in the making or the using of the drag. Every one should be interested. We know how to make the drag and I-aw to use it. What we deed is to have some argument to induce t'be use of the simple device. If the road between Newberry and Prosperity had just been dragged on Monday it would have been in fine trim now. It is not too late yet to drag. In fact, it is never too late to drag. What's the matter with getting after the Southern and insisting on having that Pullman restored? We notice from the Greenwood papers that the auto drivers are establishing an auto line between Greenwood and Ninety-Six, a distance of ten miles. We have often wondered why some of the hack autos had not undertaken a line between Newberry and Prosperity, a distance of only seven miles, and ordinarily a good road. Why wouldn't it rvav? - V . Gov. Manning made another good appointment w1:en he named L. E. Carrigan on the "State board of charities. There i? no better man in South Carolina than L. E. Carrigan. .- w y j < The editor has had his old hickory stick returned. And'the reward ha? been paid. IT{:anks.
