ABBEvILIE, S, C., February 49,.
Two weeks ago it was announced
'editorially in the Augusta Chronicle
that I was going to make tho race
for Congress in the Third Congress
sional District OH the so.called "Ne-
gro Question" My good friend Mr..
Walsh was misinformed. The state
ment is mistake. There is no such
issue in the Third District; and so
far as am concerned, there will be
no such issue. l shall be a candidate
on quite other and more important
issues.
As the Chronicles mistake has
been copied and commented on by
numerous newspapers in this State
and elsewhere, you will greatly
oblige mo by publishing this COR
rection. w. G. BENEr.

"Life is real life is earnest !"
And the man who hopes to rise

Must expect to advertise.
"In tho worlds broad field of battle,
In the conflict of real lifc,"
Advertising Is tho secret
Of achievement in the strife.
"1liyes of rich men all rcmind us
We can make our own sublime;"

Trip to Florida.

WAYcRoss, GA, February 6, 1890.
DEAR COURIER: We boarded the
traia at Lavonia, on the 4th instant,
on our way to the Land of Flowers,
and while we are laying over here
we will write up few items for
your consideration.
Lavonia is on a building boom and
seems to bo headquarters for low
priced goods and highest prices paid
for cotton. Much Improvement is
noted all the way to Toccoa, both in
agriculture and neat residences,
school houses and churches, &c.
Reaching Toccoa we had to wait
but short timc before the South
bound night train was speeding it's
way on the great Air Line towards
the "Gate City" The passengers
were principally made up Of drum
mcrs, showing that much of the
mercantile business is now carried
on through this channel. The night
was very light, the moon being full,
the air as balmy and roseated as a
garland of May flowers. While our
train frequently made over one mile
n minute, we could but think of the
past, present and future, of this
grand trunk line, and we predict,
having as it docs in it's connections
the grand terminal points of New
York and New Orleans, with all the
adjacent and intermediate points for
supply and demand-a future that
the mind cannot fairly approximate,
when we consider the progressive
age we live in; the agricultural and
the manufacturing interests, two of
the grandcst feeders of railroads
known to the industries of man.
This road has already been pouring
n continuous stream of wealth along
its main line Of branches since it's
construction, lending its aid to build
ing up OF towns and villages, with
the wake Of cvery branch of moral,
mental, mechanical and material in
tcrest, so desirable to civilized life.
The run to Atlanta was on time,
reaching the city 1910. We stopped
at the Gate City Hotel, on the Eu-
ropcan plan, lodging with or with
out meals. BY this admirable plan
one gets what he wants and pays
for what he gets. The hotel bust
ness of Atlanta ranges from the
sublime to the ridiculous and seems
to be adapted to the wants of all.
Atlanta is certainly headquarters
for starting point-a return ticket
to Jacksonville, good to June, can
be bought for SIS. We travel over
the Central Road, passing sections
of country in a high state of culti-
vation, passing many LcConte pear
and peach orchards which are in
bloom. B. FIX.

A VIEW DEPARTURE.

Railroad Companies Supervising the Moral
fly of their Employees Generally.
The latest kink IN railroad affairs is the
strict attention the companies are pay
ing to the habits of the men when off
duty. 1t is really interesting that the
railroads should take so much interest in
the welfare of their employees. II the
reform movement goes on much longer
there is no telling what a railroad man
will have to have in order to hold a Job
after he has been fortunate to get one.
The use of liquor while onIduty was
the first step towards reform, and it was
a good one, and should be enforced
against all from president down to cross
ing watohmen. This was followed by a
prohibition by some roads of drinking at
all, and then bar was put on profanity.
The latest improvement noticed, how
ever, is prohibition OF the festive game
OF poker against the employees
of the Louisville ard Nashville
road. This outbreak of reform
made itself conspicuous at Mobile last
week when several employees of the Louis
vile and Nashville road were discharged
on account of gambling among them
selves. 1t seems that party of rail-
readers met and engaged III game of
poker, with the result that one man car
ried away all the money in the company.
This came to the ears of the Louisville
and Nashville officials, and the dis
missals followed Immediately.
Kentucky and Tennessee are noted for
poker playing and good whisky, and for
the great road of the two states to shut
down on both is a going back on the two
old commemorative that looks little
strange. How would it do for railroad
presidents and other big officials to be
fired for gambling in railroad stocks?

A Prediction.

A number of railroad men were con-
gregated at the Union depot yesterday +,
discussing the features OF the strike on
the New York Central railroad. One of
the party, who Is about SIS well known in
railroad circles as any trainman in Fort
Worth, said:
''The road will win the fight and the
men will lose. 1t makes no difference
who is right in this case the men are GO
ing to come out second best, and all on
account OF the wishv-washy way the
strike has been conducted. When you
see strike hang fire as long as this one
has you will always see the company
win--the backbone OF the strike lie broken.
If the men who strike expect to accom-
plsh anything they must act promptly
and all together for the longer they de-
lay the more they lose. That's the
history of railroad strikes.

The Railway Register claims that the
victory OF shippers over the railroads in
forcing the words ''not negotiable to
be stricken from the new bill of ladin q
amounts to nothing, and asks what have
the shippers gained. The Register adds;
''The bill OF lading is not negotiable.
1t is made so by the Federal law. It
was not negotiable with the objection

now that they have been stricken out. -
Why then did the railroads put the

It was piece of superiority to put them

THE RAILROADS.
Roads East Of the Mississippi Make the
Advance in Cattle Rates.
Tie Mystery Surrounding the Pacific Short
Line Explained-NO Gambling on the
Ellen N.-General Railroad News.

While Texas roads have not agreed
upon any advance of cattle rates since
the beginning of the Chicago and Alton
cutting, which was brought about by Sc
cret cutting of other roads, the roads
east of the Mississippi river yesterday adj
tanced the rate TO Chicago, the advance
operating to make the rate from Fort
Worth to Chicago 4S34 cents per 100
pounds, instead of Al Is cents, as hereto
fore. The advance is entirely between
ST. Louis, Hannibal and Higbee and Chi
cago, the rate from Texas to the three
first named points still remaining the
same at present. though IL is more than
probable that during September there
Will be an advance by the Texas roads
that will bring rates up to the
old figure before the Alton
began open cutting, which were size.
The rate that went into effect on the
Eastern roads yesterday makes the
through rates from Fort Worth TO Chi
cago 51sc per 100 pounds less than it was
before the cattle rate war was COM
meuced.
When the cattle rate war was COM
menced, which the Chicago aud Alton
on the part OF Eastern lines, the Alton
reduced the rate between Hannibal, Hig-
bee and st. LoIls to Chicago from lie to
Sc per 100 pounds, which was followed
by cut by the Texas roads of from 400
10 SEE per 100 pounds. The Alton under
this rate gave as rebate the mileage of
81 .35 from Kansas City to Chicago, and
81 20 from Higbee to Chicago when their
own cars were used in shipping cattle.
The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy aud
the Wabash made fiat rate OF S-l0c
between those points and Chicago on cat
tie shipped on any kind of cars which was
simply meeting of the action
of the Chicago and Alton.
Then the Texas roads come in with
another cut of from 81 cents TO 81 cents
per 100 pounds, at which figures it still
remains, and this 341s rate aud the ia
rate which went luto effect on the East
ern lines yesterday makes the present
rate from this point to Chicago 45A cents
per 100 hundred pounds and upon this
basis only will cattle be shipped until
further notice.
The war ended in q substantial victory |
for the Chicago and Alton road. At one
time 1t carried 33 per cent. of the cattle 1
out of Kansas City, but on account of |
the secret cutting and rebating large |
portion of this business hnd been diverted |
from it. In all negotiations looking to a |
readjustment OF rates the Alton con-
tsnded for an equal and fair division OF |
business. aud would agree to nothing |
until this was guaranteed which was |
done.

THx PACIFIC SHORT LINE.

The Mystery Which Bias Surrounded Th,.
New Line Explained Away.
Railroad circles have been considera blv
worked up for some time over the con-
struotion of road between Sioux City
and Ogden, it not being known who was
behind the scheme. 1t was thought at
one time that the Union Pacific was be-
hind 1t and was building the line in con-
temptation of surrenderiug its present
line to the government in extinguish-
ment OF the enormous claim the United
States has on it. This theory, however,
turns out to be altogether wrong The
great mystery has now been partially
cleared up. and the Pacific Short Line
Chat is the name of it) turns out to he
backed by the Manhattan trust COMPANY
of New York. No other railroad line at
present has any interest in it except that
close traffic arrangements have been made
with 1t by the st. Paul road, as admitted
short time ago by President Miller, and
probably also with the Great Northern.
When completed the road could easily
divide the through business with the Tn
Ion Pacific, it having all the Union Pa
cifie connections and three others. An
interview year ago with Chairman
Blanchard of the Central traffic associa-
tion and director Of the Pacific Short
Line seems to have attracted vast atten-
ion to the road and its possibilities, and
the consequence is that the st. Paul,
Northwestern and Great Northern roads
and two large banking firms are making
spirited bids for the property. Chair
man Blanchard is firmly impressed with
the future greatness of 'he road, and
does not wish to sell, but the Manhattan
trust company favors sale, which will
probably be made at large profit to one
of the present bidders.
