IN THE RAILWAY WORLD.
SOUTH CAROLINA PUTS A VETO
ON EMIGRANT AGENTS.

The General Assembly Passes Bill
Taxing Them $500 for Every County
In Which They Attempt to Do Bust
ness-The Bill Awaiting the Cover
nOr's Signature - General Railroad
Gossip.
The General Assembly of South Caro-
lima has passed bill taxing emigrant
agents who solicit business in that State
$500 for every county in which they at
tempt to do business, and in the event
that an agent is caught in the State with
out license, his punishment will be one
year in the penitentiary, and fine OF
500. The passage Of this bill will, to
large extent, prevent agents from solicit
ing emigrant travel in South Carolina.
The figure at which the license is placed
makes 1t out of the question for railroads
10 pay the tax, and as consequence
emigrant agents will either have to keep
out OF the State or go there in disguise.
Some of them may take the chances of
business trip in South Carolina, disguised
as jewelry peddlers, colpOrteurs or some
thing of that kind, but this is hardly pro-
bable, as it is almost an impossibility to
disguise an emigrant agent. No matter
how guarded he may be in his converse
OlOus ne 10 sure W speak Vi his IOuJo Dt-
ing the "Short Line" or give himself
away by some other slip of the tongue,
and then he will be invited to take the
''short line" to the penitentiary. Passen-
ger agents agree that the bill is not in
tended to prohibit regularly authorized
agents from going into the State for the
purpose Of advertising their lines. The
measure, it is claimed, Is intended to pre-
vent agents from interfering with the
labor OF that State. During the past two or
three years, thousands Of good
farm hands have been in
duced to leave their homes by
silyery-tongued emigrant agents, and go
to new homes in the West. Contracts be-
tween planters and their hands have been
broken, by their laborers going away, and
instances are numerous where farmers
have lost great deal of money by negroes
leaving them before paying back advan-
ces on their crops or labor. Instances of
this character have become so numerous
of late, that the farmers have time, and
time again read the riot act to emigrant
agents, and invited them to leave the
country between suns, at the point of
shot gun. The law will go into effect
as soon as the governor signs the
act, which there is every reason to
believe that he will do, as the
popular sentiment Of the State is against
emigrant agents interfering with her
farm labor. In the meantime, labor is
being hustled out Of the State to points In
the West.
