THE WAR on THE RAILROADS.
Indications of a Compromise in the Mat
ter-South Carolina Railway and the
Cheraw and Salisbury Railroad
Considered Test Cases.
Especial to News and Courier

Especial to News and Courier
COLUMBIA, July 15.-If the public
desire one thing more than another
Just now it is is to know the result Of
what has been called the war on the
railroads. The State railroad board of
equalization, it is learned, has come to a
conclusion as to two of the cases which
may well be considered test cases. To
know these is practically to know all.
There are a good many other ways
of obtaining valuable information than
Fostering the board with inquiries, as
it will not probably make its action
known to the public for three or four
days, maybe week. 1t has been as
certained that the board holds that the
raised assessment, as intimated by one
Of its members, was not an actual as
sessuent, but an indication to the rail-
road authorities of what the board
consider true valuation, subject to
revision after argument and the fur
nishing of facts to the contrary by the
representatives of the railroads.
It is learned also that the Attorney
General who is now at Chick Springs,
holds the legal opinion that the S+ste
Railroad board is not debarred NE
constitutional grounds made by Ex-
Governor Chamberlain from taking
action in the premises. The board, it
is further stated, does not look to the
raised assessment as the basis of its
final action, but the returns Of last year,
and takes up the consideration of in
crease in values.since then to aid in the
final result.
AS a result of this manner of proce-
dure decision has been reached in the
South Carolina Railway case and in
the Cheraw and Salisbury case. The
return of the South Carolina Railway
was for $3.50 per mile, and the board
suggested $4,000 per mile, subject to
revision after argument and testimony.
The board has fixed the rate for this
road at $4,000 per mile. These figures
are made regardless Of the $4,000, but
are held to be a raise Of So, 600 over the
assessment of last year.
In the Cheraw and Salisbury case
the figures are fixed at $4,000 per
mile.
In the Columbia, Newberry and
Laurens Railroad case the clerk of the
board has been instructed to notify
President Childs that the board desires
to hear him at as early day as pos
sible. It is stated that the return for
this road is $1,000 per mile, and that
is was returned last year at $500 per
mile.

SOUNDING THE ALARM.
The State Alliances Receive Orders from
their National Head.
From the National Economist. |


To the Brotherhood of the National
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Un-
ion: It is now apparent that the ene-
mics of reform throughout the country
are marshalling their forces for vigor-
Gus and determined effort to weaken
and destroy the Alliance. Its future
progress will be stubbcrniy contested
and resisted, but we will lssuredly and
g!oriously triumph, if we be cautious,
prudent, faithful and firm. The out
look for the success of the great reforms
we advocate, was never go hopeful and
encouraging as now. The Order
throughout the whole country is Gally
adding to its numbers, and it is in finer
spirit and is more thoroughly united
than ever before. But the peculiar
conditions confronting us demand the
utmost caution, lest we commit errors,
which might prove fatal to our cause.
The action of our State Alliance and OF
the Supreme Council, in their forth
coming annual meetings, will be uni
versally regarded with earnest interest,
and the character of that action depends
largely on the wisdom of the subordl-
nate bodies.
The sub-alliances are to select mem
bers as delegates to the county alll-
ances, which are to choose delegates to
the State Alliance, which in turn is to
select delegates to the Supreme Coun-
Gil.
In view of the great ard important
work to be done during the next ALI
once year, and which must necessarily
be largely directed by the State bodies
and the Supreme Council, the brother
hood is earnestly admonished to exer-
else great care in selecting the men to
whom must be entrusted the response
bility Of guiding our course as an Or
der.
Let those who are to legislate for US,
in the State Alliances and in the Su-
preme Council, be not only our ablest
and wisest men, but let their loyalty
to our cause be without taint or tar
nish.
Put none but true and faithful ALI
ancemen on guard in this hour OF our
great need, and all will be we'll.

Story of a New York Syndicate to Back
Georgia Alliance Stores.

ATLANTA, GA, July ,9.-Great
changes are, it is reported, to be made
in the management of the Alliance Ex-
change of Georgia. The scope Of the
Central Exchange at Atlanta is to be
greatly enlarged. Cooperative ALI
ance stores are to be established in
every county in the State. The whole
machinery, so it is alleged, is to be
Supplied by New York syndicate:
This New York syndicate is said to
be backed by SlOO,0O0,OOO. Its charter
is not yet perfected nor its name given
to the public. It is to supply all the
Alliance stores and exchanges unless
some other big concern starts up that
can undersell it. 1t claims to be able
to secure superior rates of transporta-
ton. 1t is to have a sort of branch
house in Chicago, which is 10 ship
bacon, corn, etc., TO the farmers OF the
South.
J. H. Wardell, a leading Alliance
man of South Dakota, and former can
didate for the Senate, is one of the
leaders in originating the enterprise.
Oswald Wilson, who is partially manlp-
ulating the Florida Alliance Exchange
from New York, is prominent in its
organization. President L. +. Living
ston, of the Georgia Alliance, has
proved a valable accessory in shaping
its course. Col. w. L. Peck, president
of the Georgia State Exchange, has
been to New York to look into the
the plan. The district lecturers Of the
Alliance held a meeting day or two
ago and consulted about the best man
ner of presenting tie matter to the
people.

A Relic of Ancient Columbia.

Especial to Sunday News
COLUMBIA, July l1.-Col. Gibbes has
found another very interesting relic of
the ancient Columbia. 1t is copy of

other Interesting "reminiscences it con-
tains the regulations for the elections
to be held in the various counties.
Newberry is spelled Newbury, and the
name Shackelford appears Shake
ford.
A very numerous lat this time) set
of instructions to postmasters for the
delivery of newspapers" is also given
the point being whether the subscriber
shall call at the postoffice and pay the
"pcstage" in advance or whether the
Star route fellows shall collect it on the
fly through the country. There is moth
ing said about the best way of collect
ing the subscriptions to the news
papers," which is altogether a modern
question.
Governor Pinckney speaks with some
pride in the South Carolina Gazette OF
sundry "six Founders" on Arsenal
Hill, and issues some orders to the
