MR. MARSHALL PROMPTLY DENIES.
J ohn B. Marshall, proprietor of the
Piedmont ice factory, was seen yester
day by a representative of Thb News
concerning the report that he had beer
bottling privileges. The report is go
ing the rounus of the press that he has
been payiny 15 cents a dozen bottles to
Governor Evans for the privilege.
Mr. Marshall is indignantly empha
tic and emphatically indignant in de
nouncing the statement as false. The
story probably started from the fact
that he visited Governor Evans several
months ago in regard to the matter.
The governor referred him to the State
board, the State board sent, him to the
county board and there the matter was
dropnied.
In justice to Governor Evans and Mr.
Marshall, the press of the State should
give publicity to this emphatic state
ment.
The Greenville JVews has published
many statements concerning Governor
Evans and will be more than pleased
to publish any evidence of incorrectness
of such statements. This is fair and
just.
The editor of the News is
glad to publish the above de
nial. In talking with one of
his informants since Mr. Mar
shall’s denial of the charge, he
finds that there was a misun
derstanding and that Mr. Mar
shall applied for the privilege,
but did not get it as above
stated. John Gary Evans al
ready has enough scandals con
nected with his administration
and it is not the purpose of the
News to unload on him those
which do not belong to him.
THE COAST LINE SCHEDULES.
Since the Atlantic Coast Line
have acceded to the request of
the citizens of Cheraw to put
on a passenger tram on the
Cheraw and Darlington, they
now seem to be engaged in a
little spite work in order to re
venge themselves. Because
they have put on a passenger
train they now refuse to allow
people to ride on the freight and
thus force those going to Char
leston to wait over in Florence
all day. The northern
mail which goes down to Flor
ence on the freight in the after
noon has to lie over until the
morning, because it does not
connect with the fast mail. If
the Coast Line will put pack the
old freight schedule and allow
passengers to ride on this
train, then every thing
will work all right. The pres
ent arrangement is exceeding
ly annoying to the traveling
public, and, if such a result is
the main object of the railroad
people, they have certainly suc
ceeded in their undertaking.
Police commissioners Ander
son and Wilburn of Charleston
have resigned, Mr. Norwood,
the third commissioner having
resigned some time ago. Their
reason for this move is that
the State' board of control
granted tourist hotel and beer
privileges against their protest
and that it was more difficult,
on account of such action for
the police to suppress blind
tigers. John Gary Evans ap
pointed in their places Thomas
Campbell, B. I. Simmons and
John W. Messervy. The dispen
sary was always bad at
its best, but those who are wise
will not connect themselves
with it in any shape in its pres
ent disgraceful conditions.
The Coast Line, by the recent
change, has added very little to
the convinence of the traveling
public along the line between
Darlington and Wadesboro,
and have very materially
reduced the accommodations of
Darlington. With the schedules
as they were last Spring soon
after the passenger train was
put on, everything would be
lovely.
The ward three dispensary in
Columbia has been closed on
account of a shortage of f1,752. •
19 in its accounts. The Legis>
lature, at its next session, will
have abundant excuse for sub
stituting some other system for
the control of the liquor traffic
which will be more acceptable
to the people.
Now Is the time for genuine
Reform. The word has been
abused for a long time and has
lately become a by word and
reproach. South Carolina poli
tics never needed reforming
more than at the present time.
HOW HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.
Eight Years Ago and Now.
In conversation with railroad
men this morning the present
situation of the Seaboard and
Southern railroads was touched
upon, and one of the party re
marked that the position of the
roads had not materially chang
ed since 1888, and t> the A r ews
reporter added:
“If you want to know what I
mean read this, and do what
you please with it.” The “it”
referred to is the following ar
ticle from the Baltimore Sun of
Oct. 31, 1888, and being pertin
ent to the subject is reproduced.
“The absorbing propensities
of the Richmond and West
Point Terminal Company are
attracting much attention in the
railway and financial world.
The Atlantic Coast Line system
is being made the subject of
negotiation just now by this
syndicate, and report has it that
they want the Norfolk and
Western, the Louisville and
Nashville and the Cincinnati
Southern systems. The Nor
folk and Western, it is author
itatively stated, will refuse to
deal for its absorption and the
Seaboard Air Line will also
maintain its independence.
“Baltimore is directly inter
ested in these railroad move
ments. The Seaboard Line has
direct connection with this city
by the Chesapeake Bay Line
steamers from Norfolk. The
Norfolk and Western, through
the Shenandoah Valley, and the
Western Maryland roads, is also
directly identified with the trade
of Baltimore.
“Persons who are concerned
in watching these absorptions
into one great concern, either
by purchase or lease of the Rich
mond and West Point Terminal
Company, argue it out as fol
lows: ‘That concern has been
given by the State of Virginia
such powers as have never been
granted to any other corpora
tion in this country. The Ter
minal Company has authority
to acquire control of railroads,
and these are leased to the Rich
mond and Danville railroad sys
tem. The Terminal Company
look for their profits in making
these acquisitions, and there is
little doubt that they secured
for themselves a big stake bv
the recent purchase of the
Georgia companies.
“ ‘The extraordinary powers
held by this Terminal Company
give them the opportunity to
actually control railroads with
out paying any money for them,
and of making huge profits by
the transactions, by the mani
pulation of stocks and bonds.
The purpose of this syndicate is
to dominate and control the
railroad transportation of the
Southern States east of the Mis
sissippi and south of the Ohio
rivers. The successful accom
plishment of their schemes will
be to deprive the South of rail
road competition and to make
a local station of every South
ern city and town. The end of
all this will be the stagnation of
development and the going un
der of the railroads, with their
heavy loads of debt piled on by
the manipulations of this syndi
cate.
“‘The remedy for this lies
with the State of Virginia,
which never contemplated such
results from the powers she
granted to the Richmond and
West Point Terminal Railway
and Warehouse Company, with
its modest title, but gigantic de
signs. The withdrawal of these
powers and a requirement for
the winding up of affairs of this
company will save the South
from the evil effects of this great
speculative railroad venture and
will demonstrate the hollowness
at its foundation.’
“A dispatch to the Sun from
New York last evening says:
•The Sun correspondent called
on Mr. George Scott, president
of the Richmond it Danville, in
regard to the rumored purchase
of the Atlantic Coast Line, for
which Mr. Harry Walters is
now in this city. Mr. Scott
said that some negotiations had
taken place between them, but
that as nothing definite had
been arrived at, it would be
premature to discuss any de
tails.”’—Norfolk A’ews, Sept. 5,
1896.
