Carothers, for years at the head OF the

against the Humphreys scheme of demand
ing eXorbitant prices for cotton picking.
He denounces the author of the scheme us
well as the plan itself, and urges the
negroes to live in harmony with the white
farmers, alleging the closely interviewer III
terest of the two classes as u reason in n
business-likc manner, and the danger of
stirring up strife as further incentive to
peace and quiet in all particulars. He says
if cotton was bringing 10 OF II cents, bet
ter price for picking could ir justice be de-
manded, but at the present rate no man can
pay an advance.
Carothers is most influential man, and
his warning will have great weight.

ABANDONED BUSINESS.
A Railroad Quits the State of
Ohio Suddenly.

TOLEDO, o., Dec. 22.-The recent dis
aster in the Lake Shore yards in this
city, in which ten persons were
cooked to death. is the cause of
a bitter war between the Lake
Shore ond the Flint & Pere Mar
Quette roads. The decision of the coro-
ner in the case of the wreck has not vet
been made, but suits aggregating $751;
000 were commenced Saturday against
the two roads by survivors who were in
jured. Service was made upon the
Lake Shore yesterday. but not a Flint
& Pere Marquette official or employee
could be found in the state when the
sheriff tried to serve summons on that
road today.
1t seems that last night every Flint &
PeTe Marquette ticket seller, freight or
passenger engineer, conductor or other
employe living in Toledo or Ohio was
summarily discharged. Not soul in
the state can be found who has the
slightest connection with the road. 1t
has abandoned its vast business inter
ests here, and will make its future
terminals Monroe and Detroit. 1t
turned an average of 10000 cars of
freight per year over to the Lake Shore,
which will now go to the Michigan
Central.
This is ostensibly because the Flint
& Pere Marquette did not sign an
agreement for using the Lake Shore
tracks which was declined by President
Newell, and on which he insisted after
the accident occurred. The roads have
been running OH a verbal agreement
for twelve years, and the great haste of
the Pere Marquette people to leave the
state is to save that road from paying
probably quarter of million dollars
in damages to injured passengers and
relatives of the ten dead ones.
