RAILROAD MEN OBJECT STRONGLY Spartan burg Comity Omitted From Bill to Allow Voting on Dispensary Question. Water Powers May be Tnxed. Churleston High License Bill Pusses House. Columbia, Fob. 1.?One of the most important and Interesting pieces of work ahead of the present legisla ture Is the Hat two-cent mileage bill, now helng considered by the elmmlt tees. The committees will report this bill before the middle of next week and It Is possible that It will receive a favorable report from the house committee and an unfavorable report from the senate committee. In fact, this is the general impression pre vailing in Columbia at present. The governor recommended a Hat two cent rate In his annual message to the legislature and opposition that is being encountered comes, or a great part of it comes, from unexpected sources. Supt. Anderson of the Char leston and Western Carolina railroad and many railroad attorneys are ap pearing, working against the passage of such a bill. The entire matter hinges in the fact whether or not a Hat two-cent rate would be confiseatory. The bur den of proof, hence, will fall on the railroads, If they endeavor to prove that such a bill is unconstitutional. The statute is given tbo benefit of the doubt before It is declared un constitutional and the legislature will not have to prove that It is not con flseatory, but rather the roads will have to prove that It is. Another important piece of legisla tion was the bill introduced by Sena tor Nicholson, of Edgefield, which would require the insurance compan ies to invest 2"> per cent of the pre miums collected In this State in South Carolina securities, such as stocks bonds and real estate mort gages has been practically lost. This hill was up before the senate last night and its author made; a speech In behalf of It. Realizing, however, thai it had no chance to pass the senate, Senator Nicholson withdrew the third and fourth sections of the bill which required the companies to invest a stated percentage of the col lected premiums. As the bill now reads, it Is in essence, as follows: "Mr. Insurance Company: Won't you please invest as much In South Caro lina securities as you conveniently can.' This bill may be defeated for If the senators do not think it ad visable to burden the statute hooks with such useless measures. Tax on Water Powers. There is another bill of vital In terest to this section of the company up for consideration. It Is the bill introduced by George Rcmbcrt, Governor Blease's leader in the house which would put a special tax on all water power developments in Ulla State. W. S. Lee and other officials of the Southern Power company were In Columbia yesterday and appeared before the committee In efforts to dofea-t this bill. Their attorneys hold that It Is unconstitutional on the grounds that the owners of land on each side of the river own the si ream, provided it is not a naviga ble stream, and that such a special tax would be against the constitution. The government owns all navigable streams and a special permit has to he obtained from congress to even allow a bridge to be erected across one. But when the State of South Carolina, the attorneys hold first granted the lands to the settlers it gave to the owners the stream and the privilege to do as they pleased, provided they owned on both sides, otherwise to the center of the stream. This bill is warmly advocated by Mr. Blease. It is astounding how little the leg islature has already accomplished although there la a stack of bills about twenty feet high awaiting final disposition. The liquor bill, which passed the house and which gives Charleston high license saloons, is perhaps the most important measure. The fate of this bill In the senate is somewhat doubtful, although the ma jority opinion is that it will pass. By ?J?rne reason, Spartanburg coun ty was omitted from the bill Which passed the senate and which gives that county the right to vote in the dispensary question In April. The bill passed the last reading In the sen ate and now goes to the house, where it is asserted, effor's will be made to amend it so as to include Spar tanburg county. Unless this Is done, efforts to have an election there be for November 1011. will be fruitless.

DARLINGTON, Manager. Senator Cariisie and Representative Boyd are both bitterly opposed to the bill. >'o Lines Drawn. Prior to tho meeting of the legis lature, there was a lot of hot air re ports sent out from Columbia and about the blttorness botween Blease men and the antl-Blease men in both the house and senate. None of this whatever, is apparent here aivd to all the votes that are taken, Blease men and antl-Uleasites vote together, some on one fclde and some on the other. There has been no friction what ever, so far and there will be none. For a sprain you will find Chamber lain's Liniment excellent. It allays the pain, removes the Boreness, and soon restore sthe parts to a healthy condi tion. 25 and 50 cent bottle for sale by all dealers. 8888888888888886888ft 8 8 Should Have Attention. 8 8 88888888888888888888 We see from tho Greenville News that there Is talk of taking the parlor car off the Columbia, Newberry and I.aureus road, which is now operated between Green \111e and Charleston The movement for this started, we un derstand, with the Charleston and Western Carolina which handles this car from Laurous to Greenville. It would be a great step backward to have tli is car taken off. These cars have to be run some time before thoy pay, but we believe this car will pay the roads if left on. When the Pull man was first put on the Southern be tween Charleston and Greenville It was some time before the people used It to any great extent, but now it is well patronized, and we believe tho same will be true of the car on the Coast Line, if given an opportunity This car was put on as a result o' .a meeting of various representa tives from the towns along the road] which was held in Greenville. 11 is to be continued between Charleston and Columbia, and the C? N.& L. is willing to haul it to Laurens. Why should Greenville people be indiffer ent? If Newberry had a chamber of com merce this would be a legitimate sub ject for such an organization to handle, but as she has not it might be well for a live city council to look into the matter. The C. & W. C. already has a very poor connection at Laurens for any point excepl on the night train. Time was when the traveler could leave Charleston in the morning and go this way, not only to Spartanburg, but on to the mountains or western North Carolina. And the same was true of persons in this section who desired to Ko to Spartanburg. And then there la talk of breaking the through connec tion to Greenville. Somebody should look into these matters. We do not ?b sire to be cut entirely off from the up country by this route. We can not see how it could bo to the Interest of the C. & W. C; to break all these con nections, and it would knock tho C, N. & L. out of all through travel. The Herald and News. HOW'S THIS?
