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,
