discrimination is worse. Some
time back stockholder, even on
this road, was not permitted tc
ship car load Of cotton tc
Charleston uia the South Caroline
Railroad at any price, while the
rate charged to Columbia was the
same as to points much farther
remote. A merchant in Cheste,
could get bag Of coffee from Co.
lumbia for half the freight the
Winnsboro merchant paid. This
discrimination extended over the
whole list of freights. It is oven
said that tho so-called Southern
Security Company had agents in
tho North whose business was to
divert freight and travel to the
other line. All of which tends
greatly to build up and develope
the Charlotte road!
It is poor defence to claim that
rates now arc less than in the times
Of former management of the road.
This may or may not be true; but
If it is, two wrongs do not make n
right BY tho discrimination on
this road, business has boen taken
to Chester and Columbia from all
intermediate points, and the groat-
ost stagnation prevails. Only two
remedies can be applied-either to
build another road, which would be
IN expense, or to regulate the
railroads by law. The latter is
better.
In conclusion, we do not mean to
say that the Charlotte, Columbia
and Augusta Railroad is any worse
than its competing lines. The
South Carolina and the Greenville
road and all others exhibit the
same characteristics. All need
regulating badly. We do not be-
lieve in special legislation. One
comprehensive act embracing all
railroads in it's provisions should
bo passed. If the present man
agement cannot run the roads then
let them turn them over to others to
try. We hope the Legislature will
regulate the railroads.

to nominate candidates for the
vacant juageships :
Hon. S. S. Crittendon was called

Esq, appointed secretary.
After an address from the chair,
the caucus proceeded to business
The first proposition was in the
nature Of q preamble and resolution
by Senator Lipscomb, of Newberry,
to the general effect that no person
should be nominated for the office of
circuit judge except a straightout,
uncompromising Democrat. This
caused considerable debate, and was
finally defeated by large vote.
Thereupon Senator Limpscomb and
Representat.To L. w. Youmans, of

Hon. G. G. A:o1Amingor offered
resolution that al the former incum-
bents, except Wiggin, be re-elect-
cd to their positions, with the un-
derstanding that they tender their
designations, to take effect at the
expiration of their unexpired torn,
which was also rejected.
The customary resolution was
adopted, binding all members pres-
ent to sustain the nominations, and
then the contest was fairly entered,
with the racers all on the track.
One hundred and eighteen members
were present-sixty necessary to q
choise.
