( u- didu'os for railroad commissioner,
solicitor und congross Fpoko Saturday
to r I aureus gathering of about 000
people Tlio mooting was bold at
Holmes' park and was presided over
by Hon. H. A. Cooper in the absence
of tlio county chairman, Mr. G. 1'.
Smith. Each speaker was accorded
clo?o attention and whon a good point
wus mado tho crowd gave liberal ap
plause.
Tho only unusual incident was tlio
Introduction by Maj Karle of letters
written by M. U. Mobley, bookkeeper
In tlio State dit-pon-ary, to a friend in
Greenville in tho intores'. of John G.
Mobley, candidate for railroa'l com
missioner, Maj. Karle called attention
to tho fact that this was being done in
face of recent orders by tho governor to
dbpoosiry constables and dispensary
attaches to refrain from participation
in politics.
Mr. Moblov explained that tl.o au
thor of the loiter is bU cousin and bo
feel i nioro 'ike u broil.c 1 to him and is
very much interested in h's rao-j for
commissioner. All of wbich he was
v ry proud of and great'y appreciated.
Th ? crowd thawed k^en Ing res*, in
tins Lnoident, but there w is no lul'ca
t ion of approval of oither party's po
sition in the inattor.
Mr Mobley was tho first speaker,
lie ma e a vigorous apeeob, said we
sta 'l today face to fare w'th the prop
osition of governing the railroads or
bo'ng governed by them, if elected he
would bo n j-is' mediator botwotn tin
people a id the railroads. S.id the laws
in o v'olatod every day.
1! : was folio aed by Maj. J >bn Ii.
Karle ol Groonvhlo, who believes in
an honest, stra'glr.f irvrard campaign
ar.d honesty uft^r election and s.iio
that ho w.mts no one comedo 1 with
tbjdispenmry t> bo distributing cir
culars, or following the campaign, or
writing letters for him in violitloo of
the order of tho governor, He then
3a''d this w. s bolngdone in the interest
Of Mr. Mobley.
Mr. Mobley, who wai on ibe plat*
form arose and demanded tho proof.
Whereupon a typewritten letter was
sent to t1 <? stvnd from BOtneone in
i c a'id onco M?j o' Earlo paid that
this was add e;sod to a pav;y i-i Green
ville and signed by M. II. Mobley of
Colombia. Mr, Mobley took the letter
and said ho did not think tho pOtit'ou of
his cousin shou'd prevent him from
I iking an Interest in his race.
Maj. Karle proceeded with his.speech,
lie bail no political rocord butcamo as
a lawy r and a buslnees man. lie
wanted lo see better dopo'.s where they
uro needed.
Mr. W. Uoyd Kvans said it is b's am
bltn n to s'jrvo tin people, in sonio Im
portant public ca it city. He had worked
hard to equip himself for service. He
cause of tho nice iwo years ago ha was
the logical m-in for commissioner. He
called aUenCon to tho fac that the re
cent order requiring the Charleston &
Weftorn Carolina und tho Southern to
make connection at Greenwood was
utterly Ignored lo3S than a week after
it went into effect.
Commissioner Garris defended his
aCminis'rition and Raid his polioy hid
beon, and would bo if ho is re-elocte I,
to got reduction in rates, though at
times in a gradual way. Had D >t been
dorellct in hin duty oa tho board, IIa 1
accomplished many changes and im
provements In rate3, sehe Jules, etc
Jam-is Gansler was very amusing
and provoked much laughter and so no
applause in his Criticism of his oppo
nent-. He believed the ladroads shou'd
pay h ilf the salary of tho ro omission
ors, the Stato half.
Mr. GignUUt siid ho s<ras rn'y a
p ain, practical railroad man and had
thirty years of experionoe in tho busi
ness which placed him in a position to
give tho very bo-it service poislb'e as u
commissioner.

a Source of Disgust and Annoyance.
Mit, Editor: Hieaso allow mo a few
wo-ds of remonstrance at what the
people of Laurc-ns are compelled to suf
fer at the bonds of her railroads. In
tho first p'aco our passengor depot?
station I boliove would bo better?is so
located as to endanger both life and
limb of every man, woman and child
coming in or going from our towr,
Even citizens, visiting this so-called
passengor depot, during the incoming
or outgoing of any passenger train, to
Welcome a visitiDg guest or friend or bid
adieu to a departing on?, nro subjected
to the same dangers?many of whom
should be entitled to damages now by
reason of fright. How long or soon
before those fears become reaUetlo, I
shudder to thiuk.
Thon again, only a few days ago, on
tho 18th of July, when all tho papers,
8ecularand religious, throughout the
State are atlvertising round trip rates
to mountains, seashoro and watering
resor's, we are told at our miser
able little shanty of a depot and ticket
Office, that thoy have a rato, but no
tickets, all sold out some time ag>>,
that the General Ticket Agent, or some
one else in high and m'ghty ofTioial au
thority has failed to honor requisitions
for more. Po, if you wi h to send tired
mother and tho little ones to the moun
tains for a few days of rest there is
nothing to do but to buy a tickot to
Sparenburg straight and there sub
jeot thorn to a few minutes hurried
transfer in a jammed crowd and op
pressive heat, alone and unaccustomed
to travel; to the necessity of buying a
second ticket, with its accompanying
annoyance, before proceeding on their
way. This Mr. Editor is the actual ex
po-ioneo of a mother and four little
girls a few days ago, when bound for a
point just over the NorthCarolina line.
I haye hoard tha*. wo havo in this
Mate a Railroad Commission to whom
it w uld seem, if the/ hava nny power
at all?and if not why kt op th; ofllco?
such matters ns.ib >vo mentioned should
bo brought for o ovection, but I sup
pose, if not handicapped by the law,
must be totally b'lnd, daaf and dumb,
so far m the situation here In Laurens
at least ;s concerned, notwithstanding
f om whenoa they como.
Ln fact, sir, to th j ordinary man it
seems unless they h wo been of more
benefit toother points than to Liurens
that the St Uo co ild well afford to abol
ish tin whole thing, We have heard
a great djtd said about reduced lates
on fertilizers in order to tickle the ever
ciodu'oiis firmer, the great voting
class, but I learn from ono of the larg
est dealers in upper Carol'na that the
rate on fert 1 z ra is today the same as
ia IH'.M?thirtoen yoars ago. Then
agaiti, the principle on which tho com
missioners receive their salary is en'
ilroly wrong. To be officers of the
Stato, representing the people their
pay should enne from the State anel
not from tho railroads. So really the
people at hirgd ate now being put to
very great expense io tho way of timo,
etc., to sec which one of the six very
worthy gentlemen now in tho race to
succeed Mr. Girrh, the railroads are
I allowing the m to eoloct as their high
salaried oflloer and af.er Its all done
with a great hue and cry, what proof
have wo but that thoy will run tho of
fice in tho same old w iy. Hut Mr. Edi
tor, I am digres3:nt* and to come back
to the point
Now, Mr. Elilor, I do not bilieve
there is a to.vn Ln this Stale one half
the size of this which would uuictly
submit to suoh disregard of hor wel
fare rs we arc doing.
Ours too is a people that onco had
the repu'ation of demanding and se
curing their rights, but It sooras we
have boen so long, unmercifully and
persistently trampled down by this
sniill and ideal railro.nl monopoly that
A'e know nothing or rather ha-o for
gotten all ols), but submission. Shall
we slop with protest meetings and unan

essary change', which are being disre
