The New Railroad.
The committee, appointed by the
town council to help them locate the
best route for the proposed railroad to
enter the town, met and located the
line between the lands of Mr. W. R.
Law and W. M. Reid, crossing Church
street near Mrs. DeLorme's place and
on through the lands of estate of Dr R.
EL Dennis and J. B. McLauchlin. Mr.
W. P. Baskin offered to give two acres
for depot site-if put on his land. Mr.
J. B. McLauchlin says he will give the
right of way through his land. Mr. W.
M. Reid wants $300 per acre and Mr.
W^R. Law $450 per acre for his. The
Dennis heirs, we understand, want
$600 per acre for theirs. Mrs. De
Lorme, we hear, doesn't want it to
come through hers at any price.
No one expects a private citizen to
give away his property, but we were
sanguine that they would sell it at
a reasonable price and then the town
buy it and present it to the company
of the proposed railroad.
Summerton and old Grahams, both
tried the high price game on the
Southern and Northern and South
Bound respectively when those roads
wanted to enter/these towns. As the
result, the railroad gave them the
x "mile or more go by," broke up Gra?
hams and built Denmark.
Summerton has always regretted
the steps she took on account of the
inconvenience of having the depot
more than a mile away. The enhanced
value to property, the cheaper freight
rates and better schedules that will
come to us by a competitive line, will i
repay four fold for a moderate cost j
. for a right of way.-Bishopville Vin?

UN VERSI?Y FOR TEACHERS.
THE APEX OF MR. PEABODY'S
NORMAL SCHOOL SYSTEM.
ORC Million Dollars Appropriated for
the Establishment of the George
Peabody College For Teachers
at Nashville, Tenn.
Washington, Jan 25.-By a practi?
cally unanimous vote, the board of
trustees of the. Peabody Trust Fund
today at its annual meeting in this
city decided to apporpriate $1,000.000
for the establishment of the George
Peabody College for Teachers at
Nashville, Tenn. The original thought
expressed by George Peabody in his
trust letter of 1867, and also by Hon.
Robert C. Winthrop, chairman of the
board for many years, found expres?
sion in the action of the trustees to?
day.
After a full discussion of the educa?
tional question and the intention of
Mr. Peabody, a vote was taken on the
proposition to appropriate $1,000,000
for the George Peabody College for
Teachers at Nashville and it was car?
ried? the appropriation for that pur?
pose being made by a vote that was
unanimous. The vote on the question
of dissolving the Peabody ttust was
followed by considerable discussion.
Several members expressed very pos?
itive opposition to the move to disso?
lute, and when the vote was taken it
stood ll to 2. '
The city of Nashville and the state
of Tennessee agree to contribute
three-quarters of a million of dollars
for the use of the new institution. The
board resolved to spend balance of
the trust fund in the southern states.
It will be remembered that Mr. Pea?
body made this . unificent bequest in
the interest of the twelve southern
states, just after the war of the states
had closed. It is believed to be the
most powerful promoter of education
that has existed in the southern states
for the past thirty-eight years.
There were two propositions before
the board as to the dispotion of the
fund, ,one was that the fund should be
expended in the establishment of sev?
eral schools. That proposition had no
supporters today.
It was also decided to close the trust
fund, and the meeting to be held next
October will probably be the final
meeting of the tustees.

"How Banks Are Boomed.**
This is the title of a very inter?
esting and suggestive article in the
current number of Profitable Adver?
tising, in which we are told that the
banks and trust companies of Pitts?

of any other city in the world, and
that their deposits have increased
many millions of dollars by the sys?
tematic publicity given to their sav?
ings departments. Paraphrasing the
comments of the Philadelphia Record
on this suggestive statement, we would
say that what is good for Pittsburg
banks ought to be good for Charleston
banks. "There is plenty of idle money
in the possession of frugal household?
ers and intending house buyers of this

way into the savings departments of
our trust companies if they were fully

CHARLESTON FOR HIS? LICENSE.
KEEN INTEREST IN MORGAN
BILL BEFORE LEGISLATURE.
Tiger Element Worried-"Social Club'
People, Too, Look With Concern
Upon Measure. Which, if Pass?
ed Will Surely Affect Them.
The introduction of the Morgan bill
in the legislature providing for abol?
ishment of the dispensary and substi?
tution of a high license system, was
much discussed today, especially in
the blind tiger and socalled "social
club" circles and much interest is
manifested in the action of the body
upon the measure.
The bill was published in its entire?
ty in The Evening Post of yesterday
and it was generally read, especially
in circles most interested in the liq?
uor traffic. The people in Charleston
have been especially desirous of the
license system, the amount of the li?
cense depending upon the interests ef?
fected ever since the breaking up of
the system and the substitution of the
dispensary. A license system suits the
needs and ways of a city, and espec?
ially Charleston, better than any oth?
er, but there seems to be some ques?
tion of the effect of the restrictions, to
be paced upon the business, under the
Morgan bill, although many people
welcome the bill, looking upon it as
the wedge which will finally break up
the dispensary and trusting to later
amendments which will make the sys?
tem better suited to their purposes
and the needs of city life.
The opinion is held however that
the Morgan bill will not pass a.nd there
is no likelihood of disrupting the sys?
tem for sometime to come. The profit
feature commends the law in the eyes
of some people, especially those com?
munities which may get more money
out of the dispensary than they
ever got out of the license system and
with regard to reduction of taxes, they
would prefer the continuance of the
dispensary, although at heart opposed
to the measure. This feeling- prevails
to some extent in Charleston, and
notwithstanding the general cry
against the dispensary, Under Mayor
Rhett's vigorous enforcement of the
dispensary ordinances, jerking up
the violators from time to time and
severely taxing them with fines for the
operation of the contraband, an in?
come is being derived from the law
?vhich added to the city share of the
profits of the dispensary, was not ex?
ceeded in the former days of the li?
cense system. It is certain that with
the restrictions in the sale of liquor
in the Morgan bill, requiring a tax of
three thousand to be paid into the
state treasury, the limit on the num?
ber of places, it is not likely that the
city of Chareston, or any other muni?
cipality in the state could begin to de?
rive the revenue which is now af?
forded under existing conditions.
Among the blind tiger people them?
selves, there is a disposition toward
letting matters alone. The blind tigers
do not take kindly to the high license
and the restrictions to be fixed by the
Morgan bill. As the matter stands
now, all who want to essay the viola
?
tion of the law can do so, paying the
penalty, which does not amount to a
prohibition. With the privilege of liq?
uor selling held by a few parties, pay?
ing the heavy costs and determined to
expose and convict all who do not
comply with the law, the smaller deal?
ers, especially the corner shops, see
their iquor business will be knocked
out.
With selfish interests of one class
tolerating the dispensary as a revenue
measure for the reduction of taxes,
and the others favoring for the oppor?
tunities which are given to conduct an
unlawful business, and then, the gen?
eral political and personal hold which
the dispensary has in South Carolina,
a hold which never has recently been
considerably shaken, it is not proba?
ble, in the opinion of people generally
that the Morgan bill is now likely to
pass, or in fact that the dispensary
system will be broken up for some
tie.l. that there are seeral of the emt
time.-Charleston Post.
