The Commissioners liavo been ordered to show cause on August 12th v\hy the U mnorary injunction should not be made permanent. As has been statid before, the Railroad Company had as well make this change without spending any money on it as in the course o! time they w'dl he compdled to do it in order to meet the requirements of their own business. Asheville, N. C., July 29:?An injunction was issued this evening by Judge Pritchard restraining the railroad commissioners of South Carolina from carrying into etl'ect an order made by them requiring ihe Atlantic Coast Line Riilroad to operate two unmixed trains daily between Conway, S. C., and Chadbourn, N C. The order which was issued upon the application of Attorney P A \V Ueox, of Florence, S. 0., required the defendants to show cause here August Till), why the injunction shouid not be made permanent but provides that upon four days notice the defendants may apply to the e )urt to rescind or modify the injunction. The required injunction bond of $5,000 was givon by the American Surety Company through its locai president J P Sawyor aud and Attorney J C Martin.

'ih i bill alleges that the commission has no pjwer uuder the law to m ike such order, that the proceeding is il egal in that no provision is made for notice to defendant or for inquiry wi,ih witness and it inter fere$ with inter Slate commerce since it requires the running of trains between two States.

As had been ad vertised,F IT Wethisbee.VV El Chadbourn and J II Ilowaid Receivers of the Kanawha Lumber Corporation, sold everything that ibis Company owned in front of the court house last Tuesday at 2 o'clock. The property sold included the large lumber plant, with buildings and dry kills, lumber conveyers, skidding machinery, locomotive eugine and logging cars, all of their timber holdings, in fact every thing that they o\* ued, except lumber on the | Vard. The sale was made by Mr Chadbourn, and he stated before the bidding began the Receivers had up set prices on the property of $(10,000 III! J H - ? - - ? - 1 > ww, uuu iuu? mic receivers couiu not recommend less than that, and should a person bid it in at less than $00,000.01) they would only report the bid to the U S Court, and it would he left to the court to receive the bid and sell the property or reject it. The bidding wasnotatall lively. The Receivers required each bidder who intended to bid (irst to deposit $5,000.00 as a guarantee of good faith. There was evidently but one man among the large crowd who hail put up this security, and that was Mr E B Freeman, of Norfolk, Va. When the sale started he 1 put in a bid of $30,000.00 and about 1 this time the Receivers had to move ( into the court houso to get out of ] the rain. Mr Chad bourn tried to i get bids for fifteen or twenty ( minutes, a: d during that time Mr J Freeman raised his own bid to $40, 1 000 00 and at last to $50,000 00, as he had no doubt intended to do in ' case others had bid higher than h's first. The pr operty was knocked down to Mr Freeman and the Re- 1 ceivers stated that his bid would 1 be reported to Tudgo Prichurd, ' and that it would bo left to the ' Court to say whether the amount 1 would be accepted from Mr Freeman. 1 For business reasons Conway would not like to see this lumber 1 plant go begging. The business 1 men of Conway hope that Mr ' Freeman will get the property and will run it. So show the amount 1 of money turned loose In Conway by this concern, we might state that on lastSaturday the Ueceivers paid out over $4,000,00 to em- 1 ph/Vees. Death of Mrs Hardwick.

WF:*I.I- FHillT. The Railroad Commission since being served with the injunction in regard to running the double daily passenger trains, have cotnmun i e a t oil with the business men of Conway and also with Hon. R Li. Scarborough requesting him to attend a meet in*/ which they held last Wednesday morning. It will not do to neglect this j matter and let it go by default, because nothing of more importance lias arisen in the i last several years than this. As an instance of the. need of ' better service in this respect at Conway, those who received the communication from the Commission could not attend the meeting because there was no passenger train which they could get there in time. Conway is fighting for this double daily j passenger service as a whole, and they are highly pleated ' with the action so far taken by the.Commission . The people of Conway now want the Commission to st'cU to the railroad I people in this lii?ht, and have | the matter finally settled by j the United States Supreme i Court so that the people can | know for a certainty whether or not the Atlantic Coast Lino can bottle them up in its pres| a tit style. The people have no . uouot that tbo commission may rest satisfied lhat every eiti/oi of the town will stand behind them. Smul;i> School Institute.
