Hie ranting, . raving stir now being nade among the people about get;ing from under the thralldom of ;ho State's rum shop by a vote of he people is causing mucli spccuation as to the advisability of such i move. Now we notice that imoilg the most active workers and he loudest talkers alnmt the curse if the dispensary are those who rnve at sundry times been candilates or applicants for positions, ;ither as dispenser, member of xiard of control at which time these ipposcrs and would-be closers of he dispensary thought this instiution a very good thing and doubtess the best solution of the whiskey problem, thus fully illustrating the able of the gored ox. These itrenuous advocates at this time are )ut moral windmills?do all the blowing to suit the occasion by vhich they would have people think ;hcy were the consistent opponents >f the dispensary and were so from principle, when it is known that it s a case of sour grapes with them. >Vc have a very high admiration ind profound respect for those who mve always been on the side of emperance or those who have been eally converted to the opinion that ,ho dispensary is ruinous, after rivincr it. a fair trial and nra siim-nrr* n their opposition, this class of ntizcns deserve credit and arc cnitlcd to due respect lyul consideration. Outside of this latter class >f citizens it is a significant fact that those who have been advocates >f the old barroom system and have >ecn "blind tigers" and illicit sellers of liquor, walking barrooms are loud in their denouncing of the iispensary, calling it a corrupt political scheme by which the leaders have grown rich, that the law has never l>ecn complied with, but on the contrary is flagrantly violated by every employee from the highest to tho lowest. Not having investigated we are not prepared to say whether this is entirely true or not, what we arc trying to point out is, that with the moral windmill circumstances alters cases, that is, every wind is an ill wind that don't blow things his way. Look out for the squalls when he finally gets things his way. J? E. WioomaQAKEa^ UNION'S RAILROAD NEARLY COMPLETED. But the Southern Has Interposed Annoying Obstacles. The people of Union arc up in arms Itecause the Southern railway appears to be trying to keep the Union and Glenn Springs railroad from entering that city. The new road is to be a connection for the Seaboard, and will knock the Southern out of thousands of dollars in freight receipts, for the principal stock owner of the new road is Col. T. C. Duncan, president of the big mill at Union and largely interested in other enterprises in that city. It is said that the. Southern's freight receipts at Union aggregate $54,(XX) a month, or nearly $1)50,000 a year. Col. Duncan is president of the Buffalo mill, capitalized at $000,(XX), and the Union mill, capitalized at $1,100,000. Mr. J. A. Fant, president of the Monarch mill, capitalized at $250,000, is also interested in the movement to get the new road into Union. The Southern railroad last September secured a temporary injunction to prevent the new line from coming into the city by crossing at grade the tracks of the Southern around the Monarch mill. This injunction was subsequently dissolved, but before the track could be built across the sidetracks it was necessary to secure permission from ii - - ?? -1 * uie ranroaci commission. Yesterday there was a delegation of the leading business men of Union before the commission and they urged that some action be taken to let Union have a competing line, and at as little cost as possible. The members of the delegation were: Mayor It. L. McNally, Mr. Laurens (J. Young, Mr. Macbeth Young, Mr. B. F. Arthur, president of The People's Bank; Mr. J. A. Fant, president of the Monarch mills, and Mr. Thomas McNally, president of the chandler of commerce. Mr. It. H. Welsh was present as the representative of the legal department of the Southern railway. The gentlemen from Union did not hesitate to express themselves forcibly in regard t<> the policy of the Southern railway, and it was decided by the commission after hearing. t%A^UPCyto^it.^ VATf the route of the projected railway and see if that is the only feasible way in which it can reach the city of Union. Mayor McNally claims that it would cost $30,(XX) additional to build the road a more circuitous route, and as this is a home enterprise and not a branch of cither of the large systems it should be encouraged by the railroad commission of the state. Maj. W. Ixmng Lee of Sumter was employed to make the survey, each of the railroad companies concerned being assessed 850 to pay Maj. T-ee's expenses. It is thought that he can get through within a week and can make a report in order that building operations may be taken up at once, either on that line or on some other. Mr. L. G. Young is the one most interested in the construction of the line, and 1 he stated that the building operations have reached a point within two miles of Union and the contractors now want to get into the city. The Union and Glenn springs railroad will be operated from Prides, a station 011 the Georgia, Carolina and Northern line of the Seaboard, to the city of Union, a distance of 14 miles, and thence to Buffalo, three miles northwest of Union. Sulisequently a line 14 miles in length will be built from Buffalo to Glenn Springs, from which point there is now 110 independent line running into Spartanburg. This will give both Union ' and Spartanburg connection with { the Seaboard, although the Union ( and Glenn Spring is an independent 1 line, not owned by the Seaboard. ' While Spartanburg now has connec- ( tion with the Atlantic Coast Line ' by means of the Charleston and f Western' Carolina, Union has but 1 one line of railway and that is the 1 Southern's line between Columbia and Spartanburg. It can Ixj seen Quite readilv how much the eitv of Union would bo benefitted by an additional line. Prides, the point 1 on the Scalxjard whence the new line will conic into Union, is on Broad river, quite near the big power plant at Neal shoals which will drive all the spindles of that section. The new road will have a 1 station at the power plant and another one or two between that point and Union. The railroad commission will probably grant the request of the now road to l>e allowed to cross the sidetracks of the Southern at grade, for it has already burrowed under the trunk line of the Southern at Union, and the sidetracks are not in constant use. Maj. John H. Earlo of the railroad commission yesterday expressed his objection to letting tto new rudud eroaa at grade | Tweare S P Great Ind I TO CASh New goods now H day. Somethir 3 week.
