'Barnwell in the Long Ago.' Under the above caption, The Peo ple this week begins publication of a series of historical and reminiscent sketches from the pen of Dr. Robert W. Banders, of Greenville. Dr. San- ders is a native of Barnwell County District) and has a wide family connection in this section. He has recently rendered » valuable service to the people of the State by compil ing a history of the Sanders family, and, versed as he is in the lore of old Barnwell District, it is very improb able that there is another man in the State better fitted than he ta to write 'bwrh a series This week he confines his article merely ta an atrodunioa of himself and hie purpose but nest week he will tall of “The Barnwell Bar ef the Long Age" This will be followed by oheirhoe ef the o4d met r beats dodoes, etc . and it ha also h e bstesrtlae bs treat sf the aid fwhgtasm. soesal aad agm wttwial rwososwe sf irwd •« Is e < a* «# «bs *sws 9*9 m • ■ •«e dbs f • Reports of the Commission for the tan year* to 1917. inclusive, snow that during the ten years preceding Federal con trol the railways added to their freight equipment a total of 1^02.- 537 cars or an average of 120.233 cart per year, and retired a total of 824.- 164 cars or an average of 82,416 cars per year. From these figures it will be seen that during twenty-six months of Federal control there were fewer cars put in service than the railways had acquired during each year of the preceding ton year period and only a small number more than the rail- ways had retired each year of the same ten year period. In addition to this, during the war period the entire plant of the railways was operated at top speed. All ef forts were centered on winning the war and the future was left to take care of Itself. Consequently when favorable. In their petition to the Interstate Commerce Commission for increased freight rates the railways set out that even the strongest com* panies have to pay more than seven percent interest to get new capital and that others have not been able to get it at any price. Now that the Commission has au thorised an^increas& in rates it is hoped that conditions will change so as to enable the railways to borrow money for the purchase of new equip ment at favorable rates of interest but this change will in all likelihood be gradual. In the meantime the public will be serving its own inter est by exercising patience and not ex pecting the railways to proyide equip ment faster than it is possible for them to secure new capital and pro cure the physical building of cars and engines that aro recognized as need- •d. «r Th* Chundler Dispatch Car It Offers So Much More For So Much Less The Chandler Six was never in stronger posjtion than right now, at thehei&htof the 1920 season.
