"What tibout the National party ?"
was asked. .
"There are many good men, some:
bad ones and not a fow misguidda

Senator'. "The'idea that they can.

And, in) doing so, I will state Ir-t,
that iy information is hasl from the

And here it may be well to note
, p Ua a smitill Imlatter of fare
>aid by passenger's on the Charlotte,
Joumbi. and Augusta 1ailroad
stopping at Columbif.- A passenger
rom Winnboro to Columbia, for
nstance, pays 8.90, or five cents
)er mile ol thirty-eight miles, as
;h1own by their public notices. The
listanco between the depots is
Phiirty. live miles, the other three
niles being, that portion of the old
-oad reahing from Columbia dopot
o the old junction with the South
-arolina R ailroad, part of which is
1imoved, and none of which the
>assencger passes over. I am free to!
telkowledge there is no discrimiinait
ion hero ; every pasenger getting
if at Columbia is made to paty the
he extra-fifteen cents with the ut,.
nost impartiality. Buht I am not so
endy to concede th6 application 'of~
he samne principle always in- the
natter of freight rates over this
-oad. I do not moan to say that'
liscrinmiutations are -imade, to any
rieat extent, by the pr'esenlt manage
nent, in favor of particular points
dlong thec line o'f the road, but I do
lay that the rates have been so ar
-anged as to dliscrimninate as far as
>ossible against all- Southern3 ship

>ors5. In other wvords, I say that
he present managers propose0 to

rille road in particular, just as Mr.
L.. P.opo, general freight anid passen -
for' agent,' Atlantic Coast Line,.etc.,
used the road as a feeder for- the
a.thmntie Coast Line. To effect this
>bject tihe first change made was a
~emtporary incea.e of the Southern
'ates, and reduction oif Northern
-ates. This was done by Mr. Haas'
>rder early in September.' A -little
atbr these were revised and th.ej
donthorn"rates were lowered to last :
acnsonVa figures, -Northern rates
temnaining at the roduction., The
)eop)le of Winnsboro have. suffei'ed
miores froniY high -rates aund discrimni
uations than any other shippers on
iho line, and as their rates.have -been
>r-ought more particularly to nmy
uobice, I bog you will' allow me - to
lustrate my' meaning by figures. . .I I
bake the .rates :on cotton.- -Last
teason.the charge to Chatrlestof' was
$2.5O per bale ; 'to Now York" $4.25
see' bale.' 'When <Mr.. Hdas' took~
ihare of the rond he mna these
ratf!s: To Cluirloston, $2.75 1)nr
bale ; to Now York. 84 poi' bale -..25
cents higher S-oujth, and 25 cents
lower North. A little lator tho rate
to Clu-loston was made $2.50 por
bale, Now York remaining at $4.
Perlill somlic peooplo may not call
this discrimination .'gainst Charles
ton ; I do. Agr..L,, "ate on cot
ton from Winnsboro to Columbia is
cliarged per 100 poundA, . .and
ainoint-s to about 81.30 pr bale,
lialf of the -entire rato from Winn -
boro to 0hI'arleston. Those gentlo

ranged, too, in proportion to the
diAt ileui aI N weights, yet I am in
foriled 11h.at shippors South from
Winnsboi-6, -Ridgeway and Doko are
made to pay the same rate.s, while
Northern rates fromu Ridgeway and
Winnsboro are 25 cents por bale
lower thanl Winnsboro. Is this dis,
crimination or not ?
There is another light, however,
in which the above figuros may be
c-on6idurukd. The.y Ma all . dure.et

of cotton is estimated to averlago
15,)0 pounds ; jutting the distance
from Winusbdro- to Columbia,--at
thirty eight miles, as claimed, the
hreight should be not more than 17
2cuts pur 100 pounds, or about 77
70nts per balu. The present rate is
29 eent per 100 pounds, or about
".1.30 per bal4. Of courlso the vio
ba ioin is moro glaring in proportion
is the point of shipment approaches

The writer is aware that the man
totrs of the road claim the right to
ship a balo of cotton as "an article

In conlclusion, let me say, Mr.
Editor, it is time this matto.r. were
settled. Tihe poplo along the line
of this road have, since the war,

iimn bring tis mntter, forward at
