How the GreenvilIe and Columbia Rail-
road is Managed.

ting freshets have periodically brought 1t under
the weather 1t Vas one OF the GreenVle TRAINS
II rumor is right, which stopped for an hour be-
tween two small stations In order that the engi
neer and conductor might go blackbcrrying. And'
talking Of backourylng, 1t was on the line OIL INC
Greenyille Road that the "martyr Randolph met
| his doom.n The linc itself is 80 crooked as an
aponized snake or woman's temper, and II the
information which reaches as Is substantially cor
rect, the trail Of the serpent is over 1t still.
| When the General Assembly came 10 the rescue
| OF the G,eenyllle and Columbia Railroad. about
two years ago, 1t was hoped that the huge con-
cern was fairly lifted out OF the slough. But
things got no better very fast A Ring was FORM
ed to buy up the stock Of the company anu obtain
its control. The stockholders sold their STOCK Tor
next.door to nothing, and then found that some
OF thefr dear friends had pocketed bouncing
commission. The. money, with which the stock
was bought was said to come out of the State
treasury, and in the Ring were Senator G. T. Les
lie, Joe Crews, and other birds OF feather. a
new presideuo-and new superintendent were ln-
stalel, and the whole prospect was pronounced
TO be exceeding lovely. Freights were to be re-
duced. Running time was to be lessened Pala'
tial cars md unapproachaole locomotives were to
be put on the line. The up country was glad and
all the State wondered.
what came OF it, Accident followed accident
| with startling rapldity. No one offered to buy
ont the Ring. The old story or the King Of Siam
and the white elephant was played over again,
and thc Riug would doubtless be glad to get rid
OF sne'r oalsa'n aS al' .,s,o.r ,ro bove how.
