THE NEWS AND IERALD. WIMNS3ORo, S. C. TUEWDAY, December 30, c 1670. .JYQ. S. 1C&FxoLIS. Assoc1Ax Enron. About the Railroads. Cominissioner Roiliam iats sent us is first annual report on the condi tioni of the railroads. It Contains much inlforiation of interest oil tihe sujlect. Ie flist 8hows tlat. the rail roads of the State, under the ihnaucial pressire uponi the business of the country, have been to a great extent, run down and several are in the hianids of the courts and receivers. Di iniq the past year-, however, they have greatly improved, and the Comminis sioner believes that they are in a fair way to become prosperous. All of the rioads have willingly submitted to inspection, and have generally coim plied with the requiremelits. Threc of the Roads, the 8outh Caro liia, the Wilmington and Columbia, aid the Charlotte, Columbia and Au gusta, aro limited by their charters to at certail rate for heavy articles and for IIrticles ot' mneaslrelmeiit. Other companies cliil that there is 110 re striction. The Commissioner recom men.i1ds the adoption of soie nliiformii maxilmulm rate by the Legislature. The question of classing cottoni has arisen, and the Commissioner 1hats de eided that, it nuist be rated by weight. This quest ion is now in t le courts, but the Commissioner suggests to t lie Legislaturie to maiike this provision of the law ats to weight and melasuireieit more defflnite. 'Tli greatest trouble arises in the regulatiol of through and local rates of freight. As terminal charges are the saiin for long and for short dis Iances it call be seen that 'tle greatler thi distaince the less tlie cost per mile for hiauling. But 1,lhe complaint of' the )illc is that the roads make up oi local freights what they lose oi through rates. This is a grave prob lei and has enstiiged the atteition of' the ablest mindics in the Uniited States. One thousal three hundred and Aoriv-nine miles of' rail road are re 1"11i as inl operation in this State, of which one hiundilred and sixty-Ilve are in hnreh hles. The Spartanhurg and Aheville, and ilie Chester anid Chenaw did not report. All the roads hlvC paid thei' IL80ssemInts for tile Coilmmissioner's salary, except ilte South Carolina Road, wilich being in the IUited States Court refi:sud to recogiize Commissioner Bonhamn's wilrrailt. This dlilnquent assessment is onle-fIouirth of' tle whole salary, nild its retention causes grave cibarrass ment. The recommenda(tions of Comniis sioner Bonaliin are that altll the roads should be accurately measured alt(] poested, with: wvarning boards at cro0ss ings, and wariniigs of' apprwoach should be given at least four hundred yards from any such er'ossing. Also that thie r'oads1 should -publishu their rate of freight, through and local, anid post them at their depots, and that the Comissionier be aut horize.(d to call on thle aittor'nev-gener'al and solicitors for counisel and1( assist ance. A list of'the accidents occurring in the past year' is giveni. The mnost serious one, not causing deoath, was~ that near Rlidgeway on the 18th of' August. Commissioner Bonihami is satisfied with the report made by (Col. J. 11. Palmer as to the cause of' this, lad lhe seemis to conclude that thle acci dent was one of those remnaakable ones that cannot be prevented. We regret extr:emiely that Commcissionter Blonham~ should have beeni sautisfied with these ex parte sftatemenlts. Charges of' gross negligence were mande by all tile passengers, anid were reiterated by Tine Niews 4axn Isum and1( yet Commissionier JBonhai mever', as far as we knw iniquired into the faucts from any but paid ofileials of' the road, wvho are bound to say that tihe accident was uniavoidable1. We think that Commissioner Bonhami should have made more diligent inquiry than hie didl. Cumulative evidence going') to show recklessnessq in tis case, is found in .the fact fliat besidles this ae' teldenit five persons5 were killed at dif forent times duing the year b~y the Charlottec Road. Thereo are fourteen r'oads In the State, and fthirteen per sonsB were killed on them last year'. Of' these one r'oad killed fiye, anmd the oithier thirteen onily eight altogether. Afost of the deaths On otnier roads wvere of initoxicated1 individuals, but nlot so oin the Charuilotte Road. Tw'~en ty-seven failure's to connect, five hiomickdes and oneo npset, onght to be enou.Bgh Cuimulativye eviden~ce to cause the Cloimmissionier to seek for' inf'ormationi further' off' thamn at railr'oadI headl~quar terse. In all aiccidlents reportegl, if of' a serious niatire, the Commuissloner' should repalir to the sp~ot and examine sary to elicit the truth, should inisti tuto proceeding~s agalist the roads. If'he has not tile p)ower to do so ur.. der' existing law~s, It should be given to him. Withi this exceptionl we are p~leased with the report. It is not to be ox pceted that the arduous duties of the office could be mastr:ed In a single ayear, but we are confident that Comn )mnissioner' hhonham has beeni zealous id assiduous. Ini prevenltIng Mr. A. Ppo from Imposing a dIscriminating 'irfron the Wzlhnlngtonu Road, and a j promptsly orderlig a cessation of wta)io believed to be a violatlir of the tha t' of thme Charlotto Road, C.ommlssioploe' Boliham has given ~rtof of thd vailue of his oflee to the (&~ :We hiope hislp~~ win be lii*t~~1 prel~rgedtu edA ni oilelusion we i stat ment of the Ilet earniigs of somi1 of the1 lore illportilait roads.
