Lieutenant Governor McSweeney.
representing the State, delivered an
address of welcome to the veterans last
week in Charleston, which placed him
among tbe foremost oratora on that
occasion. While the governor did not
mention it in bis speech, it is cot
improper for us to state that opon the
ground where he delivered bis speech
he often walked to and from his work
wheo a boy. Goveroor McSweeney
waa not born with a silver spoon Au his
mooth, and from his early boyhood he
eotered the battle of life as a bread
winner. His education was received is
the school of experience where so many
cf ocr greatest men received theirs.
Early io life he was forced to earn bis
support, and many a cold, bleak
morning, across the lot where now
a&aods Charleston's grand auditorium,
aod where M. B. McSweeney, io the
name of the State, eltquectly extended
a welcome to the survivors of the
"Lost Cause," did he, barefooted and
hungry, basteo to his labor to earo a
pittance and ao experience which bas
stood by him to this day and which
makes bim appreciate the straggles of
s people.
McSweeocy's life and experience
ought to be written and studied by the
youth of the State ; to it they will
learo that a mao can make himself, be
eau be she architect of bis owo fortune,
sod it is oot necessary to be labeled
' with a long Hoe of distinguished
ancestry, to rise. Io tho life of
MeSweeoey they will see that by dose
attention, energy aod integrity the old !
saw that "you oao't keep a working !
aao dows" it a truism With such a j
f nao as goveroor of thc State the peo
pie would have to executive who
started at the bottom roood of the
ladder of life, and, by bis owo effort. ,
wents to the top. His experience places
bia io touch with the people's wants aod
needs, and by being one of them, their
interests are bia interests, aod he wcold
be the people's goveroor.-Mac& ng

A CHIEF EVIL.
Governor Voorhees, of New Jer
eey, in a defense of trusts and bis
state's kindness to them, says; "In
ibo modern evolution of business the
individual is of but little conse
quence, acd associated capital acting
on a large scale now does what was
formerly left to. men in their single
capacity " That is true but, instead
of being au argnment in favor of
trusts, it is a chief count in the in
dictment against them. This exalta
tion of Mammon at the expense of
man, made in the likeness of God,
will bring untold evils in its train
No nation is safe which sets np a
golden calf to worship The wor
ship brings upon its devotees evils
innumerable. An aristocracy of
brains and worth may be endurable,
but a plutocracy is sore to breed an
archy and communism. A few more
years of such rapid crushing of in
dividuals and exaltation of corporate
capital as the last decade in this
country has witnessed will develop
troubles such ss this country has
never yet witnessed

A RAILROAD TRUCE
The announcement that the Southern
railway bad secured possession of the
Sanford Mt. Airy division of he
Atlantic and Yadkin railroad, or, as it
( was formerly known, the Cape Fear
and Yadkin Valley, was a surprise io
Baltimore financial circles. This prop
erty was bought at foreclosure eale last
December by a syndicate composed cf
Messrs. Harry Walters, B. F.
Newcomer and Michael Jenkins It
was then generally accepted that the
whole property would beoome a part of
the Atlantic Coast Line and the devel
opment that tue western portion of the
road was in ihe hands of the Southern
railway was unexpected.
This is, however, now regarded a6
indicating an understanding between
the Southern railway and the Atlantio
Coast Line to keep out cf each ethers
territory. With the Sanford Mt. Airy
divisioo the Atlantic Coast Linc would
have entered western North CaroHoa
and have been in a position to compete
w4th the Southern Ic was tbs im
pression among some financiers yes
terday that the delivery of this divisioo
to the Southern would probably be
followed by the surrender by the South
ern to the Atlantic Coast Line of the
South CaroHoa and Georgia railway,
which wa3 recently bought by the
Southern. In securing this property
the Southern obtained an entrance ioto
Charleston, S. C., and other territory
of the Coast Line. Previous to the
deal with the Southern the Atlantic
and" Yank in Railroad Company deeded
to the Wilmington and the Weldon
Railroad Company, which is one of the
Atlantio Coast Line corporations, that
portion of the system east of Sanford,
North Carolina
After this the stock of tba Atlantio
and Yadkin Railroad Company was
sold to the Southern Railway Company,
thus placing in possession of the latter
the control of the remainder of the
property. The Wilmington and Wel
don Railroad Company pays for the
portion it acquired by an issue of
$1,800,000 4 per cent, fifty-year gold
bonds, which will be a first mortgage
on the property acquired and known as
the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad
Company Yadkin . Division bonds.
Tbase bonds are turned over to the syn
dicate whioh made the purchase of the
Cape Fear and Yadkin Railroad and
reorganized it as the Atlantic and Yad
kin. Io payment for the whoie prop
erty the syndicate gave 3,100,000 and
there waa active competition at the sale,
both from the Southern railway and the
Seaboard Air Line.-Baltimore Soo,
