Some Reasons Why Mr. Car. is Should Bo Re-elected. I Advertisement. I A short Htatentent of the work of the Commission during the term ju?t served by Mr. Garrls may be of inter est to tho people,'as well as of Interest to the osndidooy of Mr. Garris hiinsolf In Hie approaching primary. Mr. Gar ris takos tho position thai tho railroads and the people are bound to exist to gether for all time to come, and that they shou'd live in friendship, if possi ble. It is not right that. bonC6t claims of cither against tho other should havo to be suod for and collected at groat expense to both; therefore, the Com mission c in do no higher duty than to bring, if p ssible, tho people and tho railroads closer together. Reasonable la'.es on'y should bo allowed by tho Commission or desired by the railroads. The ''average of South Carolina rates are now b.>lo?v tho averago of the rates throughout tho South, and especial care has been g'ven by the ComraisFion to the agricultural and manufacturing Ihterrs'.s of the St.%to. On'y recently has all ootlon manufactures been re duced material y. It is not excessive to estimate that the Commission's re ductions on cotton piece goads bus re sulted i-i a savlDg to tho mill interests of the Slate of something like.$ 5?">,000.00 Fertilizer saving by reduc tion to agriculture. 00,000 00 Redaolioo in transportation of co'.ton . 100,000.00 Ko.hu lion in v-ood for fuel (Cl.OOO 00 Reductions in briek, starch, lime, buildini material 40.000.00 Reduct ion* on articles of mer oh ana ise and others it is fa'r t> es'.lmate. 120,000.00 Total. $471,000 00 Now, this is a conservative estinnte of tho amount of money collected by the railroads loss than they would havo collected on the commerce of the State for list year had It not been for tho in terference of tho Commission. The Commission has diligently under dlffl cultlos kept up the gradual improve ment of depots In tho State, so that we have more now and modorn structures in South Carolina than in any Stale in tho South. Sinco his torm began there are on tho Southorn railroad tweivo additional trains doing passen ger service and Ovo on the Atlantic Coast Line. While conditions can nover be ontirely satisfactory to all tho peo ple, is it not fair to Mr Garris to say that bo, luis done very well sinco that he has made no demands except those that are justified? During tho p\st yoar there have been some sirloin accidents which have te stiltod in the loss of life, yet it is a fact that there has been hauled in th's Sine about 3,500,000 ptssengors and not, a white passenger killed. Now, if Mr. Garris, who is our commissioner with only one term of sorvice could In justice and reason begin without ox perlenoe and do this much for his poo pie, ought ho not to bo retaino 1 as a matter of business, and that too In the Interest of all classes, especially the agricultural classes? Mr. Garris' life has been a s'.rugglo for the making of himself, |and hi* Strong, Intelligent, consistent work for tho people we believe will be re warded by h'.s follow eit/.ans.
