As lias alrcady b?eu hinted in railroad
circles, VYil cox and Willcox of
Florence, attorneys for tho A. C. L.
1 vst week secured an injunction
from IJ. S. Jud??e Pritchard rest.i<
linimr I.ho ll>Lilrn:id (Inmmivsinn
of South Carolina from enforcing
their recent order requiring the
Coast Lino to run u double daily passenger
service from Conway. 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. The bill
of complaint which was signed by

a id Henry ft Davis, alleges that
January 18th, the citizens of Conway
and Loris, S. C , petitioned the
railway to put on two trains daily
between Conway aud Chadbjurn, a
distance of 88 miles aud *up >n this
not being done, lilod a petition with
^iif? railroad commissioners and said
commissioners issued a notice re.
^ quiring complainant to appear befjrc
it at Conway, March 1M .h, and
' and on .inly MO oh, said ooard ordered
, yA the railroad within 80 days to int
augurate two daily unmixed trains
between Conway aud Chadbourn.
'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.
At no time during the proceedings
did the Commission assume author '

Please allow me a fow moments of

few questions in regard to the sewer
aud pavement matter. 1 understand
the Town Council donated
$750 00 (under protest of the Mayor)
to build a sewer for the benefit of a
( few private families and to no advantage
whatever to the public at
large, and at the same time, flatly refused
to give one cent or aid in any
way to build a sidewalk along the
streets of the town and exclusively
for the benefit of the public whose
money they had just invested in improving
priva'e property, and the
merchants had to build the sidewalks
out of their pockets unaidod.
Now, if the above is true, your
humble senbo certainly thinks it a
ease for puck, and to say the least
an instance of wrong expenditure of
public funds, and I wonder if lhase

holdings, in fact every thing that
they o\* ued, except lumber on the |

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

One day last week D. H. Russ '
was taking a party across to the
Kanawha Mill in a gasoline boat and
while going along they were arouseing
themselves by shooting at ter- !
rapin and snakes along the banks. 1
Just as their boat turned one of the i
bends in the river, Russ fired his J
gun at something on the bank and 4
the shot struck a negro employee in
the face as he was walkihg along the 1
railroad near by The shot did not J
go very deeply into the flesh, but he J
fall down on the railroad track on

felt sure he had been killed When '
he fell his noso struck one of the ties 1

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.

week, when VI Id. Johnson had roc
rded a deed of separation between
li'mse'f and his wife, Mrs Mary K,
| Johnson. Tliis is somewhat like a
(divorce, for, by its term, tdroy will
have no further relations with each
otte r in tho future. and Mr Johnson
is no longer liable for her support
and inuinlttinanco, or for any
debts which she may contract. Al|
though t in- has the full sanction of
I law, it is the first instance of tho
sort iu this county for a long time.
