Committee of Association Says South Carolina Pays Rates 25 Per Cent II filter Than Virginia. Special to The Times. Columbia, Dec. 18.?Messrs. K. G. lthett, of Charleston, 11 11. Cooner, of Columbia and It. S. logon of Anderson, members of the organization committee of the Shippers' Consumers and Travelers' Association of South Carolina, have issued a circular letter in regard to the hearing for better freight rates to be Ik Id hero on January 0. The circular jkd ids out in the strongest language the need of a central bureau to look after the roads of the state and charges that the greatest discrimination is exe:cised against this state, "The 'people," says the circular, "are paying t, least 2" per cent, in ire than the t eople of Virginia for their transportation and in the case of the Southern 011 their Washington division .'Id per cent, and a I til' this while the Indite in this state is much heavier and the operating expenses should bo less. The people of this state cannot hope to compete with the people of Viiginia as long as this continues, The service in many instate, s is even a worse drawback than The tv.tes, especially in the smaller towns wh?iv 1 here is but one road. In the larg! r places wh?re there is more than one road there is a movement to pool th - internals and should this be accomplished every incentive toward goo.' service is removed." "Have you ever," continues the circular, "traveled on local trains witlnu the Stan V It so, the need of d cent co iclns and schedules that at least might be ap in ij uu-i'tvcii is apparent. The collection of a claim is almost an impossibili y. All it this can bo remedied by tin < stablishrneot of a Centralized bureau and lieplacing in charge ol'a e impotent man who understands railioad business thoroughly. It is of course impoitant ihat hh do not iuipeie the progress of the i .1 i 1 roads in our stale, but it is stdl more imp utant. th it the progress of ihe jy-ople be not impeded by the roads " A membership blank is enclosed and the committee expects to enroll every preminenL business man and corporation of the state.
