A Richmond official was brought down to take
charge OF the freight department, and on October ..
he issued General Order, M !, addressed to "all
agents" with the direction that "this general order
must be enforced without exception" The order
directs:
I. On and after 2Sth instant uithdrd,p all rates to

The explanation Of 1t is that the Greopville and Col.
umbia Railroad belongs 70 the persons VINO own or
Vile and RtchmonG to West Point Va, and the line
OF stesmers rom west oInt 10 Nortnefh lofts. !hey
intend 70 use tn'lr new acquisition as alesdcr tnr their
other lines. The loss t" the south Car"iin. Railroad,
ter Of q million dollars a year. and the loss to
Charleston will be heavier. There Is a remedy, We
hope and believe. but IN tho meanwhile the public
would like to know whether the present owners Of
the Grecnville and Columbia Raj road changed their
purposes only when they obtained possession, or
whether charleston was duptd and ca)oled from the
beginning!
