SOUTHERN ROAD TO
REDUCE ITS RATES
After First of April Straight Fares on
This Road Will be Two and
a Half Cents.
Columbia, Jan. 3. ?South Carolina
will get the benefit, so far as the South
ern Railway is concerned, of the reduc
tion in rates made by legislative enact
ment in other States of the South, but
without the turmoil of legislative agita
tion and without the expense of pro
longed litigation.
President W. W. Finley, of the South
ern Railway, at a conference in the
Governor's oflice today, stated that on
April 1, 1908, the Southern Railway
would put into effect in South Carolina
the following rates:
For straight tickets, 2? cents per
mile.
For family mileage books, 2i cents
per mile.
For 1,000-mile and 2,000-milo mileage
books, 2 cents per mile.
The conference was attended by Gov
ernor Ansel, Attorney General Lyon,
Chairman Caughman, of the railroad
commission, and Commissioners Sullivan
and Earle on the part of the State, and
by President Finley, Vice President
Gulp, General Counsel Thorn and Divi
sion Counsel Abney on the part of the
Southern Railway. The conference was
held in the office of the Governor and
was open, being attended by the news
paper men.
Mr. Finley, in a conversational way,
put the proposition of the Southern be
fore the Governor, explaining as he
went along the reasons for the different
rates and the reasons governing the
railroad in making this proposition. He
explained that the Southern on account
of the fairness with which South Caro
lina had treated the railroads had a
disposition to give the State the benefit
of the reduced rates, and consequently
the Southern intends, without compul
sion, to put into effect the rates which
it has proposed as a compromise in
North Carolina, Georgia and Alabama.
He felt assured that the agreement en
tered into would be made effective in
these States, and perhaps in Virginia
also. The same- treatment promised
South Carolina would be given Tennes
see, which has also been liberal in the
matter of legislation.

Had a Personal Difficulty.
Special Agent W. C. Moore, of the
South Carolina Division of the Farmers'
Union, became involved in a personal
difficulty yesterday afternoon, in his
offices in the Vickers-Cauble building,
with several out of town men. Mr.
Moore was severely bruised about the
face. The fight caused a considerable
amount of excitement in the building.
There was no warrant sworn out by
Moore, however. It is understood that
he will consider this later. The police
did not take up the matter at the time,
but the names of a number of men
were placed in their hands, and arrests
may follow.
The cause of the fight was purely
from a personal difference over a busi
ness matter, and unfortunately went
too far. It is said that the lie was
passed, and that this immediately pre
ceded the blows. All was over in a
few moments, and everything was se
rene about the office.

Judge Kohlsaat Decision.
Chicago, January 9, ? Judge Kohlsaat,
in the United States Circuit Court, ren
dered a decision this afternoon in favor
of the government in the suit against
Captain Oberlin M. Carter, former
United States army engineer, charged
with having defrauded the federal gov
ernment to the extent of $700,000
through conspiracy.
The court ruled that Carter was not
entitled to the $400,000 in unregistered
railroad bonds and other securities
traced by the government to safety de
posit vaults and banks in various parts
of the country. Under the decision the
government will retain the securities
and the famous case, which resulted in
the conviction of Captain Carter and of
Greene and Gaynor and the imposing
of penitentiary sentences, is brought to
a close.
Funds of Captain Carter, which the
government claims were proceeds of
Carter's collusion with Greene and Gay
nor, are tied up by suits pending in the
federal courts of New York, New Jer
sey, West Virginia, Georgia and Illi
nois. By agreement, all of these were
consolidated and tried before Judge
Kohlsaat in the United States Circuit
Court in Chicago, about a year ago.
It is the claim of Carter that the funds
in question were given him by his
father-in-law, the late Robert F. Wes
cott, of New York.
The case grew c^l of the construcr
tion of certain river and harbor im
provements on the coast of Georgia.
The government prosecutors contend
that the army officer and the contract
ors defrauded the government in the
sum of $2,225,000, and that one-third of
the amount, or about $750,000, went to
Captain Carter. Special assistant to
the United States Attorney Goneral,
Martin B. Krwing, was assigned to the
prosecution of the cases, and, after
several years' work, $700,000 invested
by Carter in various States was traced
and seized.
The hearing before Judge Kohlsaat
extended over several weeks, and scores
of witnesses were examined. The
judge, in his opinion, sajd:
"It must be borne in mind that the
transactions in this suit covered a per
iod from ^December, 1K91, to December,
1907, during which years a number of
contracts were let, and that even
though Carter was not in actual con
spiracy with the contractors, yet if ho
knew of the vast profits and the prices
allowed them on the earlier work it was
his duty to investigate thoroughly the
situation and sec to it that the govern
ment thereafter paid no more than was
fair and just. Even negligence, under
such circumstances, would have amount
ed to fraud. If, therefore, Cartor was
cognizant of the fact that the contract
ors were reaping abnormal profit from
the 1892 work, and that Wescott was
interested in that profit and was turn
ing it over to him under any kind of
cover or his share of said profit, he was
false to his trust, and should be held
liable to make good to the government
all the fruits of his fraudulent act.
"Without passing-directly upon the
question as to whether Carter had ac
tual knowledge of and connived at this
raid on the government, the facts
brought out are such that ho must, as
a conclusion of law, be held chargeab|o
with knowledge of what was being done
in the premises. This fact alono makes
it cloar that tho government is entitled
to a decree awarding to it each and
every one of said pieces of property
held by the receiver which shall be
found to have been purchased directly
or indirectly with moneys received by
Wescott or anyone else, or in any way
arising from funds made up as profits
realized by the contractors under the
contracts in the suit."
Mr. Wescott, mentioned in the opin
ion was Carter's father-in-law, charged
by the government with having made
investments of funds sent to him by
Carter, which funds, it was alleged,
were part of the funds diverted by
Carter and the contractors, Greene and
Gaynor.

preparation has extended to all parts of

Last Fighting at Appomattox.
The Petersburg Index-Appeal says
that the Charlotte Observer cannot pos
sibly prove that North Carolina troops
did the last fighting at Appomattox, and
adds:
"The writer of this paragraph was
on the spot, and knows what he is talk
ing about. The first fighting, as well
as the last fighting, at Appomattox was
done by Hampton's Legion, mounted
infantry, under command of Lieut. Col.
R. B. Arnold, Brig. Gun. M. W. Gary
being present and participating. In
fact, Gen. Gary ordered the charge un
der a misapprehension, and was in
formed of the surrender of Gen. Lee
in the midst of the charge. There are
members of the Hampton Legion now
living in Charleston?Stephen Elliott
Welch, Frank Taylor and others?who
know this to be true, and they ought
to put the fact on permanent record."
The writer of this paragraph is
'Dick' Barham, as he is called by his
old comrades-in-arms, the very capable
editor of the Petersburg newspaper.
We have no doubt that he "knows what
he is talking about," but that will not
make the slightest difference to the
Charlotte Observer. It never knows
what it is talking about when it comes
to matters of history. What it has
writ, it has writ.
The above fs taken from the editorial
columns of the News and Courier, and
will be of interest to many Laurena
county veterans, especially members of
Hampton's Legion, including the gal
lant Lieut.-Col. R. B. Arnold, who is
referred to, and who resides near
Princeton, just across the line in Green
ville county.
