However, in an Interview with
Sheriff QUITS to-day, Tuesday, he
made no mention of such a levy,
and the report may not be true.
Paid Its Taxes. S...s
On last Friday Sheriff QUITS
went to Augusta to receive the
taxes of the Port Royal and West
ern Carolina Railroad, or rather
that portion of the road which lies
in Edgefeld county. A telegram
was sent him some days ago to
come and get the money, but hear
ing nothing the railroad people be-
came impatientsand sent their >at-
torney in person, and he carried
the Sheriff down with him, and
counted out and paid to him
So, 11a50, being in full of penalties,
taxes, and costs. Thus has this
road paid up its. honest dues to the
State and county after many vain
efforts to induce bur eyel-headed
Sheriff to commit some illegal act
by which they could drag him into
the courts. In the meantime, how
ever, this road has itself been CON-
mitting illegal acts, for inssanee:
Trains have been run blythe sta
lions; of Parksville. Modoc, etc..
without stopping, 4 although pas
|sengers at these places with
tickets in their hands. And thisre-
minds US of a lesson taught the
Charlotte. Columbia and Augusta
road in the days that are gone.
Several years since number of
wealthy Northern gentlemen were
travelling over this road to Au-
|gusta, and fearing that they would
miss connection at that city, offer
ed and paid the conductor andIen-
|gineer FIVE hundred dollars not to
stop at any intermediate station,
Johnston, Trenton, etc. Several
Edgefeld gentlemen were waiting
lat Johnston to get on the train,
but it sped by sans scerenao o,ais. One

the raiiroads paid out several thou
sand dollars, and received only
Eve hundred. This is a lesson in
railroading from which even rail
road men can leafn something.
By the way the railroads are be-
ginning to find out that the ants
used them in the last campaign to
fight. their battles for them.
