cal and geographically facilities of the Cen
trail Vermont. This''map, he said, proved
that the natural allies of the Central Yer
mont on the one side were first the Boston
and Maine, second the Fitchburg, and third
the Delaware and Hudson roads. Its
strongest competitor is the Rutland, which
has now gone out of the Central Vermont
system. On the west the road has two
important connections, the Ogdensburg and
Lake Champlain for water borne traffic,
and the Grand Trunk.
Mr.. Coombs declared himself opposed
to the Grand Trunk road and its financial
policy, especially in its methods toward
the small lines controlled by t. 1t was
ques ion Of annual deficits rather than sur
puNs so far as these small roads were
concerned. This was taken as an intima-
ton that the Central Vermont would be
added to the Sc small roads in this respect.
He characterized the 1926, 100000
which the Grand Trunk has out in stocks,
bonds. notes and other obligations as
:" stuff" and said it was in such wretched
financial condition itself that it could pay
only IL per cent per annum on its own
capitalization. 1t carefully conceals its
annual balance sheet from public view and
its own management does not pretend that
the road is worth within $4, 900, 900 of its
outstanding securities. The amount of its
borrowed money, unpaid interest on deben-
ture stock, current expenses and overdue
pay roll is enormous. If forced sale was
to be made to-day it would show the COM
pany from 100000 to 100000 in
the hole.
Mr.. Coombs dramatically exclaimed at
this juncture of his remarks: "On the
showing of Poor's manual you can't afford
to make this proposed deal and be dragged
at the chariot wheel of the Grand Trunk
along with those other unfor tunate leased
and controlled lines" He roasted" the
policy of the Grand Trunk of advancing
money to smaller roads in the shape Of
traffic balances. At the conclusion Of his
very vigorous remarks he sprung motion
to adjourn the meeting for further consid-
Grafton of the matter and that the three
gentlemen presenting the dissenting
bondholders be meanwhile added to the
committee.

Sulphur Beds in Mexico,
City of Mexico, Nov. 20.-Much inter-
est is felt here in sulphur deposits, it
being reported that large European CAPT

sulphur contains only per cent of

The question of the future of Cuba ex-
cites some interest owing to the talk of
a possible union of the island with the
Mexican republic in case of it's gaining
ultimately its independence, which would
be pleasing to large portion of the

remarks:
Cuba should become n part of Mexico.
which will eventually form part OF the
great tropical republic extending to the
mouth of the Orinoco, making of the
Caribbean sea and Gulf of Mexico the
new worlds Mediterranean"
Favorable comments in the American
newspapers on this solution of the Cuban
question attract attention.

ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS.

There will be held at each county seat
in the state on August 13, under the di'
rection of county superintendent OF edu-
cation, an entrance examination for stu
dents, male and female, who may wish tc
enter the South Carolina college.
This is done for the convenience OF the
students, to save time and expense, and
above all to give opportunity to any ap-
plicants who may fail to pass any part, OF
the examination, to review such study
during the month Of September, and to
try the examination at the college, Sep
tember 2S-29, when the usual entrance
examinations are held.
This plan promises to be a great con-
yenience to the patrons Of the college
and a great aid to backward students
enabling them to take advantage really
of two entrance examinations, with an
interval to study upon any branch in
which they may be deficient.
The applicants will be informed by the
26th of August how they have passed.
and what they need to study further, and
will be advised on all matters relative to
their expected entrance into the college
At the same time and places competi.
tive examinations will be held for normal
scholarships, two of which are awarded
in each county of the state. These carry
with them the remission of fees to the
amount of $50.

ONE WHO FORESAW.

The Greenville News has been looking
up some records on dispensary legislation,
and, as the result, has the following to
say, which seems to vindicate the positio q
that was early taken by D. E. Finley,
Esq:
In these days Of the dispensary's dis
grace; when the rascality Of many coun
ty dispensers is coming to light. when
the board of control is in perpetual row,
when the decisions of the federal courts
have declared its monopoly features as
between the states unconstitutional, and
when the depravity Of the system as
political machine is recognized, The News
with pleasure remembers and calls Tn
public attention that one Reformer in the
state fought the dispensary and fought II
hard from the moment of its inception.
When the dispensary bill was introduced
in the senate and jammed through during
the closing hours OF the session OF lo9Z'
D. E. Finley, then senator from York, op-
posed it in spite of the united front in its
favor presented by other keforniers'
And so it was from session to session, as
long as be was senator, that Senator
Finley maintained this position, warning
his party that the very abuses and cor
ruption now 80 foully apparent to the nos
trils of honest men were inherent IN the
dispensary system and would eventually
DESTROY it. All of the Conservative sena-
tors took this position but; D. E. Finley
was the senator whose sagacity and cour-
age at that time leavened the Reform
