We arc in receipt of a copy of the address of the S. C. Traffic .Association the headquarters ol' which arc at Columbia. Iu it, all commercial and municipal bodies within the State are urged to become members. The ob jects of the association, as we read them, are meritorious, and we hope that our city council and commercial club will get in to communication with it, and ally themselves with it. Among the several good ob jects that the association hopes to benefit the general public in is the securing of better local facilities iu local passenger travel. Camden, while fairly well served along this line still bas considerable cause for com plaint. Another, and a very impor tant object is the forcing of the Railroads to deliver freight more promptly. In our own experi ence we can testify to liaviug re ceived most abominable treat ment in this respect, having lost money on several occasions be cause of unreasonable delay in jbhe transmission of goods to us ?rom even such straight liue points as Richmond and Atlanta. The association also proposes to exert its efforts to secure prompt payment of claims for overcharges on freight, claims for damages, lost freight, &c. This is a very important object, which if attained will be a boou to both shippers and consignees. We recall ouo instance in which the assistance of a body similar to the S. C. Traffic. Association, would have been of considerable benefit. The incident occurred while we were the book-keeper and practical manager of a large mercantile concern. We were in receipt of a car of corn, paid the freight on it, and 011 ex amining it. found that it had been in a wreck, almost every sack torn to bits, and about one half of its contents lost or dam aged. Our bill, based upon ac tual loss was about sfvlTT), and wo were kept out of our money more than a year, when by every right, we should have had t he money within a week at. the farthest. This kind of thing, at that time at least, was common. If the council, or commercial club are interested, they may correspond with Mr. l<\ II. Mo Master, Columbia, S. C., who! ?is the secretary. XO TW VDIH,!; IX THIS. "We give you below* an extract from the speech of lion. A. K. Sande.s, a senatorial candidate ior Sumter county, which lie de livered at Privateer on July 31st. The extract is from the Daily item, Sumter, S. C.~ -oil the liuuor question. Arc., &c: "On the liquor question I10 stood for temperance and so briety. lie. wished whiskey was blot ted from the face of the earth and the recipe ior making it lost, but there is uo use takliug al>out prohibition. It is a beautiful theory but it. cannot be enforced, bas never been enforced any where, and in Kansas, the Slate that prohibitionists are alsvavs talking about, lie saw saloons on every corner in the cities he visited in that State a year or t wo ago. Prohibit ion ist's will have to be raised before a pro hibitory law is practicable, and when that condition exists there will be 110 need of such a law or n dispensary law either. He thought the dispensary law wrong in principle for ho be lieved tlie State should not en gage in business. He still thinks so, but was willing to see the experiment tried. The Stale dispensary has been weighed in tho balances Dand found want ing. It has been a failure. He could not endorse the dispensary and won Id not do so. He was on a legislative committee one year to ins pert tho State d is ponsary and he then saw things that convinced him that graft and corruption existed. Tho next year when ho could have been elected on the dispensary board by saying the word, he had declined and he had since thanked God he had done so. Ho believes in county dispen saries. Sumter county can buy All the liquor it w?>nts and rug its own dispensary. The State dispensary is nothing but a dis tributing )K>int and is not needed. The counties can run their dis pensaries honestly and success fully and make more than the dispensury is now making ? per haps as much as $50,000 a year." TO I'KKVKNT It. H. ACCI MKNTS. Kijuiiu-ors Say Blame for Acci dents l-ic With tlie Company. The recent English railway wreck really emphasizes the fact thai disasters of that sort are uncommon not only in Great Hritain but on the continent as well. What can be done, asks a rail way engineer, to avert these hor rors in this country and to make travel as safe here as it is in other countries where fast time is made? Some say we must have better men No better men ever handled engine* or trains than we have in America. The trouble is, the best men are often discharged for some trivial matter and newer, younger, less experi enced men take the places of these elder ones, and the chain is weakened in just so many more places. Some say giyo us better eoun> iment. 1 The American engines and c?ii s lead the world; there are . none better.* Others say the train order sys tem is wrong? that it is verv weak. Under the present method of operating single track roads it is hard to get a better system. It has its faults, to be sure, but the various railroad clubs and train rules committees are ever endeavoring to make the sys tem more perfect. Some say, give the men shorter hours on the road. Those who speak thus strike close to the mark ? for many many times do these wrecks oc cur because the overworked brain of the man on the road or in the office 1 esponds no longer clearlv and safely. . Aheie arc those who say, give us a safe and sure inter locking system of signals ? irive us a block system. If the great, railroad companies would stop for one year the great expenditures on straightening tracks and lowering grades, with a view totvard greater earning capacity of freight traius, and for a year put the amount they would have expended on road ways in Lo installing a safe block say to in, a great gain toward safety would have been made. J he whole cry is, "greater divi dends ?not safety to the travel ing public. Each vear millions go into "tills and cuts," into new bridges, into new stations hut never a cent into block sys tem. There are tw<^ other very im portant things needed in con nection with safe traveling, whether the block system is in stalled or not, and they arc; I'V'st, cut down the monster tonnage train so they will be safe to handle. -Secondly, by all means cut1 down the hours of those who have to handle these heavy trains, so they will have less tune on the road and more in which to rest. It, is one thing to t< II a man he should 'not ?ro out if he is sure helms not had rest enough, but if he replies and is laid off for a time with his wages suspended? well, that is another thing. A second of fence would mean dismissal. 1 hen when he would apply for a position on some other road he would be turned down for in subordination for having re fused to go out when he was positive in his own mind that lie was in no condition to accept the responsibilities of another trip without more rest.?

The pro ceeding were pleasant and orderly, every hearer seemingly having come out to hear aud learn, as there wt* practically no applause for anyone. Compulsory education was mentioned by several of the speaker*, but pro voked no manifestation of interest. The main issue appeared to be the whiskey question. Mr. W. R. Hough and (/'apt. L. L. Clyburn, candidates for Senator, took opposing positions oil the question, the former favoring the State dispen sary, and the other local option with a preference for county dispensaries. The candidates for the legislature followed, lion. J no. (i. Richards open ing with a powerful speech in giving an account of his stewardship, lie ad vocated the State dispensary, oppostd compulsory education, giving as one reason that we would be compelled to educate 100,000 negro children who do not now attend school. Naturally he wanted the lien law repealed, as he was the first man in Kershaw couuty to endorse that proposition nearly nine years ago. He al*o called atten tion to his position on the public school question, and his record on the same, which is above par. Hon. K. L. Langlcy followed in a neat speech which was well received. He was followed by W. A. Sc brock, (the writer) who advocated biennial sessions of the legislature, improve ment and enlargement of the present scope of the public* schools, changes in the methods of support of certain of Slate colleges, roasted the Dispensary Investigating Committee, answered a few questions, advocated county dis pensaries, and wanted the old soldieis better looked after. His remarks con cerning the Great Moral Institution ap pear elsewhere in this issue. Mr. 1>. M. ISethuiiu followed with a good talk. He advocated the State dispensary, mOrw and better schools, looked askance at the compulsory edu cation proposition, and would look af ter the interests of the old soldiers? if elected. Hon. T. J. Kirkland was not present, but a circular letter from him was read and distributed among the audi ence. lie is an uncompromising op ponent of the Dispensary in any form, favoring high license. Hon. I. C. Ilough and <i. \V. Moseley presented their claims upon the oINce of Clerk of the Court. Ilsth had friends in the audience. Messrs. M. It, Mcl.eod, >1.0. West, D. K. Dixon and It. 15. Williams, can didates for county supervisor, ail made creditable speeches, the features or which our limited space will not per mit iih to give. Mr. D. M. MrCaskill, unopposed for treasurer, thanked the people for their kindness in the past, and hoped to merit a continuance of the same. Mr. \\ . B. Turner, candidate for re election as Superintendent or Kduca tfon, in a clear cut speech advanced his claims to the oltlce for a second term. Will is still unmarried, which may, or may not be a handicap. Sim ply await results. The candidates for Audilorthen had their innings, Mr . W. F. Russell open ing, followed by Mr. \V. M. llnnon, the cloring argument being made by Mr. 1*. T. Bruce whose remarks pro voked a little ginger at the Blaney meeting. The meeting was closed after a brier talk by Mr. J. B. Phelps, candidate for re-election as Probate Judge. The Blaney meeting will be report ed next week, we hope more in detail. THE STATIC CAMPAIGN.
