President Spencer Speaks on Railway 1

t
e
Declares Government Regulation is a
Unfair, Unjust, and Opposed to the 1]
Fundamental Principles of Anglo- ?
Saxon Jurisprudence. ~
ii
f
Newark, N. J., Special.?That gov- ^
eminent control of railroad properties t;
as proposed in the Esch-Townsend ^
bill, which was considered at the last e
session of congress, is unfair, unjust f
to tlie railroads, opposed to the fundamental
principles of Anglo-Saxon g
jurisprudence, and is equivalent to S
providing by statute for the enforcement
of commercial lynch law, is in ^
substance the replay of the railroads a
to the agitation for railroad rate leg- n
islation, as outlined by President Sam- 0
uel Spe'ncer, of the Southern railway, ^
ii
in an address before the Newark t
board of trade. Mr. Spencer said in c
partA S
''l'p to the present time shipper
and carrier have been free to work to- ^
get her, without political interference t
to facilitate the establishment of new i
industries; to reach out for new mar- c
kets for our fanners and manufac- e
turers; to create new communities and
to maintain the prosperity of those c
already established, and to cooperate
to the fullest possible extent to en- J
large the volume of both our domestic 6
and foreign trade.
Propose to Change System.
"It is now proposed to change this
system and substitute for it one in
which artificial bureacratic methods
will take the place of the natural laws j
of trade and commence, which have j
been the controlling force and evolu- ^
tion of the present system.
"And it must be borne in mind that
it is proposed to give those enormous
powers to a body on whom no respon- ^
sibilities rest or can rest, for the pre- .
servatior: of maintenance of the railroad
property, or for the discharge of
financial obligations, or the fulfillment !
of its duties to the public as an efficient
common earner.
"The president, in his last annual j
message, laid special Emphasis upon
the necessity for doing away with re- '
ates and for the keeping of the highways
of transportation open to all
upon equal terms. There is no issue <
nv pnntroversv before the people 01
"* *>
congress as to whether or not rebates
or secret discriminations should be
stopped. No one desires more than
the railway managers themselves that
there should be an end to all such
practices.
No Rational Suggestions.
"No rational suggestions have been
made, however, as to how the granting
of rate making power to the interstate
commerce commission sould
be effective to this end. A rebate or
any secret discrimination device can,
of course, be applied to a government
rate as well as to one made by the
carrier.
"One of the most serious objections
to the legislation proposed is that, under
it a rate once fixed by the commission
would continue in force indefinitely,
unless changed by the commission
or by the court. The carrier
would, therefore, have no power to
make either reductions or increases
to meet new conditions.
"To place in the hands of one tribunal
which is or may be prosecutor,
jury and judge and at the same time
executioner is equivalent to being one
i - P
statute for the enforcement 01 cum- 4
mercial lynch law."
Judge Solicited for Campaign.
Tf Ififelngton, Special.?The charge ,
of soliciting and accepting campaign i
contributions in tHe PampaigL of 1902 '
made against United States Circuit '
Court Judge Baker, of Indiana, by
the Civil Service Commission, has
been referred to the Department of
ustice by the commission. In connection
with the refemce the commission
gave out an oflicial statement of the
case an which it was said "the statute
of limitations is the only defense
which can be opposed to the charge."
Gave His Body to Science.
New York, Special.?In accordance
with the provisions of the will of
George W. Catt, president of the Atlantic
Dredging and Construction
Company, who died on Sunday, at his
residence here, his body was taken to
the Bellevue Hospital Medical College
to be dissected in the interests of
science. Mr. Catt was the husband
of Mi's. Carrie Chapman Catt, Presilent
of the National Suffrage League.
Farriers Holding Cotton.
Norwood, Ga., Special.? Farmers
in this section reiuse iu sen men w..ton
for less than 10 cents and are
hauling it hack home. Less than ten
bales.of cotton have been sold in both
Warm)ton and Norwood so far this
week, and the buyers are sitting
around with absolutely nothing to do.
The farmers in this section are all in
good condition, and are able to hold
indefinitely. Crops are short, about
70 per cent of last year's yield.
Wisconsin Central Sold.
Milwaukee, Special.?The Journal
says: "The Wisconsin Central has
been sold and the new interests are in
full control. They represent big
Eastern financiers and the change
means that the line will finally enter
Milwaukee Southern and that it will
become part ,Hf a great railroad system-"

Totes of Southern Cotton Mills and
Other Manufacturing EnterprisesWare
Shoals, S. 0.?Another hig
Southern mill, the Ware Shoals Matiuaeturing
company, is nearing compieion.
Its buildings are now eompletd,
the machinery has been ordered
nd is being received at the plant for
nstallation. This latter work is exerted
to be completed by November
0, and then the spindles and looms
rill begin to produce. The mill buildng
is four stories high, 150 by 277
eet in size, and will have 25,000 spinles,
together with S00 looms, from
he Draper Company, of Hopcdale,
lass. There wU then remain sudicint

ticrease its equipment. The corpornion
owning this mill is capitalized at
500,000, and N. B. Dial, of Laurens,
!. <?., is its president.
Gaffney, S. C.?It is expected that
he work of developing Gaston Shoals,
property on Broad river, about five
uiles from Gaffney, will be started at
nee. This property and other water
irivileges were acquired by the Gaffley
Manufacturing Company some
ime ago, but were sold recently to a
ompany that Mr. J. B. Cleveland, of
Spartanburg, is said to be at the
lead of. This company had a corps
f surveyors at work at the property
ast week and it is thought here that
he work of developing will be begun
n the near future. This property is
onsidered very valuable and if proprly
developed it is thought that these
alls will furnish water power sufliient
for the manufacturing plants
it Gaffney, Spartanburg, Cherokee
Tails, Blacksburg. in South Carolina,
ind Shelby and other points in North
Carolina.
Nashville, Tenn.?A meeting of the
tocklolders of the Warioto Cotton
dills, was held on September 30 to
onsider plans for that, company's enerprise.
Officers were elected as folows:
President, W. R. Odell, of
Toncord, N. C.; vice-president, Wiliam
Nelson: and secretary-treasurer,
r w Mnrtrsii, Directors were chosen
is follows: M J. Smith, Edward
A'arner, Joseph H. Thomson, H. G.
Lipscomb and A. H. Robinson, and
he three officers named. This company
will not be in a position to make
ts building: ready nor to install ma hinery
until next summer, as it has
jurchased the cotton mill property of
he Tennessee Manufacturing Company,
which is under lease for some
nonths yet, as stated recently.
Durham, N. C.?The Durham and
Southeastern Railway will soon be
running trains from Durham to Apex,
SL C., where this road will eross the
Seaboard Air Line and connect with
i road already running to a point on
the Atlantic Coast Line a few miles
lorth of Fayetteville. This road will
le a great convenience to the Erwin
Cotton Mill interests at Durham
vhich have already established a large
lew mill and commenced the erection
)f a fine new town at Duke, which
is on the line of this road only a
diort distance from its eastern termiius
at Dunn, N. C. It is probable in
fact that the Duke and Erwin interests
have been the.chief factors in the
imilding of this road which will be
if great benefit to a section of country
heretofore seriously lacking in facilities
for transportation of its pn<lucts.
Spartanburg, S. C.?The Sun Mills
will be incorporated with an authoriz?d
capital stock of $500,000 to build
tnd operate a cotton-rope and twine
nil I. John B. Cleveland, John A.
Law, Walter S. Montgomery and A.

of machinery. Mr. Montgomery
will be president.
San Hartonia, Texas.?The contract
with Del Rio people and Eastern captalists
for the erection of a l&nrge cot:on

:he 20th and (>ulonerj..G/ Grimshaw,
i'prescnionig the capitalists, left at

cost $150,000, and work is to begin
within four weeks.
Muscagee.?The Commercial Club is
1fr with the representative of
New York capitalists relative to the
erection of a lanje textile mill, probably
a cotton factory.
Marion, S. C.?It has been but a
few months since the Marion Manufacturing
Company began operations
with its 5,000 spindles, but already
it finds it necessary to add to that
equipment. The company's directors
met and ordered that 2,000 spindles be
installed, and William Stackhouse
president, left at once for the North
to buy the new equipment.
Memphis, Tenn.?Makers of textile
machinery are invited to corresj)one]
with the Shelby Cotton Products Co.
relative to the purchase of machinery
for manufacturing cotton yarns and

We have received notice of the
building ot' quite a number of new
school houses under the act of the last
session of the legislature to encourage
adequate school buildings. The
comptroller general will, in a few
davs send out another apportionment
of dispensary funds. The law provides
ihut some of4this money may be
used for this purpose. This is a great
opportunity for a community which
needs a new school build in?. It .jives
a good opportunity also for several
communities to consolidate their
schools.
Please le: your trustees understand
that local or special taxes mav be I
voted after January 1. / "There ou<rht
to be a great many ,^uch taxes voted
for next year. Ttets is the only plan
under the law to replace the dispensary
fpwicis in those counties which
ha?v^or may vote out the dispensaries.
T'or the last two or three years the
schools have been receiving from
1 $200,000 to $250,000 from dispensary
' profits. This amount exceeds either
the poll tax or local taxes. Local taj;
at ion is one of the best ways to raise
' school revenues, because1 it reouires
local interests and enthusiasm. Most
