RATE REGULATION COMING UP AGAIN. COVERING THE RAILROADS AND SHIPPERS. All That is Needed is Enforcing the Laws—Chicago Incident Furnishes Sufficient Proof. Washington, D. Oct. 19.—I don’t like to do the “1 told you so act,” but the recent collection of $25,000 in fines from four representatives of a big beef house in Chicago, for viola tion of the Elkin’s law against rail road debates, puis me in mind of the fact that in several of my letters I have said that there was law enough on the statute books at the present time to raise Cain with both the rail roads and the shippers who have been participating in these rebates if it were enforced. This little Chicago incident proves it. It is true that the offence was committed some time ago when the paying of rebates was quite the fashion. Since the railroad rate agitation has been on the fash ions have changed and railroad com panies are not paying rebates as a rule. Demagogues may still tell you they are but the facts are agin ’em. You may have noticed that the fel lows who paid the fines were employes and not members of th“ firm. The big fellows got away just as big fish Mor ton slipped off the hook after the president’s investigators of the At chison, Topeka & Santa Fe case had him safely hooked and were ready to I in the insurance scandal due to the land him. It strikes me that these fact that they helped him out at elec- little fish gave up a hopeless fight and lion time? Has his suddenly aroused Roosevelt to step in and protect the policy holders of the company. You may remember too that Roosevelt ab solutely refused to interfere and al lowed things to take their course. Any reason for this? It looks to man up a tree as if there was a migh ty good reason for it, and that reason lay in the liberal contributions of money to the campaign managers that succeeded in electing Roosevelt. It has not been brought out in tes timony yet, but it is very well known, that the Chicago beef trust contribut ed $100,000 to that same Roosevelt campaign fund. You know thev did not do it simply because they loved Teddy. Think they did? How about that Garfield report that white-wash ed the whole bunch and showed them to be the greatest philanthropists that ever existed of a lot of blood suck ers who were raising the price of meats to the poor and making every body cough up for the benefit of their own pockets. There may have been no connection between that $190,000 contribution and that. Garfield white washing report, but if Teddy did not have a hand in making the white wash, then some of the best informed men in the country are greatly mis taken. It was a well known fact and wide ly commented on during the campaign that the railroad had laid down on Mr. Cortelyou. and had refused to contribute something like half a mil lion dollars that he wanted them to cough up to help elect Teddy. I won der if that had anything to do with Roosevelt’s suddenly aroused antago- Tiism to the railroad managers, and his desire to take the control of the railroads away from them and put it in the hands of a political commission which he himself appoints or controls.! was t Was Roosevelt’s refusal to interfere 1 ' THROUGHOUT THE PALMETTO STATE ITEMS OF EVENTS INTEREST OF PASSING IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

Teddy is pretty good to his friends who come to the front with contributions as did the managers of the three big New fork life insurance compaines and the members of the beef trust. These fellows who were fined out in Chica-! go were not on the list of campaign coi^ributors though their were. I think that the Republicans are using this Incident for all it is worth to show what, a mighty good and law-obeying party they are.

Judge Klugh will be the Armour Packing Company and the Hutchinson Salt Company sent to states prison for as long as the parch ment on which they are written lasts. That would seem to he the only pos sible outcome of the position he takes that you can’t prosecute men who make political contributions and m ist confine yourself to non-corporeal bodies. They don’t amount to much more than the paper on which their charters are written. If he would get a hustle on and have a few of the men who own these charters fined as the law provides, I think he would make a greater hit with the common run of people and prove his. sincerity. The chances are, how ver, that the men who might be punished, but who made contributions to the campaign fund, will be white washed just as Morton was, while the Republican National Committee will continue to hold up the railroads and trusts for political contributions and blackmail. • • • I wonder if it was because the big railroad cornorations refused to be 1 held up by the Republican National Committee for contributions to the; Roosevelt campaign fund at the last election, that our estimable president is so very hot after railroad rate re gulation by a political commission. Certain things that have hapnoned lately would suggest that there is a good deal more than probability that this is a fact, and that his posing as a friend of the “dear people” is all Rooseveltian bluff. At the insurance investigations now in progress in New York, it has al ready been brought out In sworn tes timony that the New York Life In surance Company paid $50,009 to his campaign fund, and in two years had paid similar amounts to the Republi can National Committee. This is ad mittedly the result of merely scrap ing the surface. It is certain to he developed that the Mutual Life and • Equitable Life contributed at least as much and possibly more to the same fund from the savings of the policy holders for the benefit of their widows and orphans. Perhaps you remember that when the Equitable scandal was first tin-! earthed an appeal was made to Mr. J presiding judge. There is oniv one case of murder on the docket, that of Billie Blueshirt. colored, for killing Cora Rice in this city about three years ago. There! are eight or ten other prisoners in the county jail awaiting trial, mosi of them for minor offenses. The session will continue for three weeks. Death of Mrs. Blanton. Mrs. James Riley Blanton died Monday at the home of her son-in- law, Mr. James Pettit, near the city, and was buried Tuesday at Corinth. Mrs. Blanton was over seventy years of age, and had been a widow for several of Mrs. vears. Phe was the mother C. J. Wall, of this city. The second trial of Samuel P.

Mr. Speegle died Tuesday after a long complication of diseases, all being occasioned by Bright’s ylisease. He is survived by his second wife and by five sons and daughters. At the time “of his death Mr. Speegle waa under a $1,500 bond to appear at court in January. The Federal Court opened in Greenville Tuesday morning, Jiudga William H. Brawley presiding. The new assistant district attorney, Thomas W. Bacot, of Charleston, be gan work .succeeding E. F. Cochran, of Anderson, resigned. Among the cases to be tried are many violations of internal revenue laws from Pick ens and Cherokee counties, conse quent to the voting out of dispen saries; the case of a Williamston merchant sending a dun on a postal card; case of a Spartanburg youth mailing an indecent postal to a girl: a Westminister lad, alleged to have opened mail pouch and rifled it, ann a Greenville county farmer to be tried for peonage.
