NUTS FOR DIRROrOR MURRAY.
ANDERSON, Doc. 24tb, 1888

| TELLIGENCER OF September 9Th, ap-
pears the following:
ut is safe, therefore, to say that the
present passenger rates will pay the rail-
roads more than the former ratio did,
and this excess will come out of tho peo.
pie, in consequence Of tho Commission'e
failure TO establish second.class rate
and thousand mile rate.
"Ehs ioca! rates are lower In 5ofne iu-
stances and higher in others, but the
average will be found to be slightly
higher than the rates heretofore Of force.
The railroads will gain in income out of
the Commissioners local standard"
And In an editorial in the same paper,
Of date Oct. 4th, in reply to q criticism
signed "Broadsway," which had been
published by you, appears the following {:
Broadway" 10 not more fortunate in as.
serting that the INTELLIGENCER 10 help
ing TO create m anti.rairoad law aenti-
ment, for the Abatement 10 at variance
with the facts. We were, and still are,
in favor Of the railroad law, and have
never expressed any other sentiment, but
we have criticised the manner in which
the law has been executed.
| II is prepOsterous
that the railroads should complain of
their rates being raised"
How does this read in connection with
Mr.. Murray, the editor Of the INTELL1.
gencer, being the member of the Legis.
lature to frat introduce bill which vir.
tually kills the railroad law? Either
hr. Murray did not know what he was
writing about in October, or it was inten.
ded by making the law odious and un-
popular with the people to create SEN
tinlent in the State looking towards its
repeal; which?
What picture for you, Mr.. David, to
draw. MIR. Murray in October: ut
(tho r. II. law is good enough for the
railroads, but bad for the people. The
railroads will gain in income out of the
Commissions local Standard" and Mr..
Murray in December as representative,
railroad director and editor, working,
writing and voting to take all life out Of
the railroad lay, and all authority from
the Commissioners. Why?
| II the following is correct, which il
also from the same editorial in the An.

attack Of this writer, who has not the
moral courage to write over his own sig.
nature, and thereby place the discussion
upon an equal footing, out prefers to
keep unknown In order TO prevent an
exposition Of hio own motives. We have
an idea Of the identity Of "Broadawsy,"
which induces the belief that he does
not reside In Anderson. We again in.
vite him to unmask, and If We are cor.
rect We have little fact connected with
his position In this matter which would
interest the people, but would be far
from amusing To him.
The articles which We wrote last Sum.
mer were based entirely on information
from Anderson merchants as to rates, and
were correct 80 far as this place ia con.
cerned. The rates we're raised by the
Commission, 80 far as Anderson ia con.
cerned, but the actual facts show that on
the Columbia & Greenville and Char.
lotte, Columbia 6 Augusta roads and
their branches, they have as a whole
been reduced. In the reduction, howey.
