RAILROAD COMMISSION CASES.

An appeal by the Charlotte, Columbia
and Augusta Railroad Company from find
ings of the Railroad Commissioners in re-
gard to certain alleged violations by the
company of the provisions Of Section l 1,45l {,
B of the General Statutes in regard to
rates of charges for the transportation of
passengers was heard before Judge Ker-
shaw in Columbia, two weeks ago. The
appellants proposed to charge 81 cents per
mile for second class passengers and 2f cents
for children over six years of age and under
twelve who may be unprovided with tick
cts when reasonable facilities for the pur-
chase thereof may have been provided,
while the statute provides that roads of
the class Of appellants road shall not
exceed cents per mile and for children
2 cents. Judge KershaW filed his decision
in the cases on Monday of last week. In
his decision he says:
"It is supposed by appellants that mas
much as a rate of charges is allowed in
their charter not to exceed six cents per
mile, that as matter of contract with the
State they are entitled to charge any rate
not exceeding the said limit" This ground
is overruled on the same grounds as in the
decision on the appeal as to freight rates,

Court House on last Friday evening. This
company, for some reason or other, has
been on the brink of dissolution for long
time. I am glad to report that a strong
probability if not absolute certainty points
to an averting of this sad fate. AS some
Of our prominent citizens have taken the
matter in hand, their membership, sup
port and influence will doubtless keep the
Lee Light Infantry in existence as one of
the good and true military companies of the
State. Solicitor Castor was chosen chair
man of the meeting, and on taking the
chair made some appropriate remarks in
explanation of the object Of the meeting.
He was followed by Hon. G. J. Patterson,
Major Julius Mills, Col f. T. Atkinson and
J. NJ. McNeel, Esq, who urged each one,
in his own happy and forcible manner, the
necessity of re-establishing the company on
a substantial and permanent basis. The
meeting adjourned until Wednesday after
noon, when the friends of the company will
again assemble at the Court House for the
purpose of receiving members and also of
GENTLY large to warrant such action.

wherein is set forth the power of the State
to legislate upon this subject whenever cir
cumstauces may arise which demand such
legislation.
Judge Kershaw concludes that while the
regulation requiring the added charges
when passengers do not procure tickets
before entering the trains sis reasonable
and proper in substance, but in the form
in which it is here established it is a
violation of the restriction of the said Sec
tion of the railroad law, in that it does
establish higher rates for passengers under
such circumstances than is limited by said
section." He therefore orders "that the
findings of the Railroad Commissioners,
bearing date the End of April, 1884, from
which this appeal is taken, be affirmed and
the appeal dismissed"
In the appeal Of the same company
against the decision of the commission, on
the subject Of freight charges on fertilizers
from Columbia to stations on the Chester
and Lenoir Railroad, the decision of the
Roilroad commissioners is reversed and the
appeal of the railroad company sustained.
The Judge says: "There are serious ques-
tions as to the Jurisdiction of the judge to
whom is committed the hearing of these
appeals, which suggest themselves, but as
no objection has been made to the hearing
upon that ground, I will proceed to deter
mine the matters submitted upon their
merits" He then sums up number of
decisions of the United States Court, citing
cases and shows that the question is one of
interstate commerce, which comes under
the exclusive Jurisdiction of Congress, and
decides that the Act does not authorize the
commissioners to regulate profits upon mer-
chandise committed to railroads for trans
portation from point in this State to a
point beyond the limits of the State. "It is
therefore ordered and adjudged that the find
ings by the Railroad Commissioners in the
matter of the items Of charges by the said
railroad company for the transportation of
fertilizers from Columbia, S. c., to the sta
tions on the Chester and Lenoir Railroad,
bearing date April 10, 1884, from which
this appeal was taken, be reversed and the
said appeal sustained"
The main points Of Judge Kershaw's de-
cision may be stated as follows:
1. That the railroad company cannot
charge passenger rates in excess of those al
lowed by the railroad law, either by penal
ties or otherwise.
2. That the charter of the appellant (al-
lowing charge not in excess Of six cents
per mile,) contains no contract with the
State which will prohibit subsequent legis-
lation to fix lower figure as the maximum
rate.
3. That the railroad commission cannot
interfere with the freight charges Of rail-
roads on merchandise shipped from points
in this State to places in another State
The question of the constitutionality OF
the railroad law was not decided.
The Columbia correspondent Of the Ne,cs
and Courier says the Railroad Commission
will probably carry to the Supreme Court
the question of Jurisdiction of the State over
the rates on freight and passengers from
points within the State to points without.
