On October Goth the following was
printed in the News and Courier
A rather sensational report has
been heard in the city of the causes
which led to the seizure of the Sea-
shore company's beer This was that
the managers of the ElIerbe CAM
paign had seen the Seashore people
previous to the last election and re-
quested healthy contribution on the
strength of the beer privilege at the
Isle of Paine The Seashore COM
pany is said to have refused to help
reelect Governor Elerbe, and for this
refusal the governor bit back by tax
ing the company's beer.
We have watched with some inter
est for denial of this direct charge
of blackmail and oppression against
Governor EIlerbe and his campaign
managers. but have seen no denial
The accusation has been made public
" and in respectable newspaper
Does the governor think it is too
small matter to demand his atten

take a different view and regard
silence as confession Of guilt
Is it not true that the Sea Beach
railroad people were asked to con-
tribute to the Eilerbe campaign fund !!
We have good reason, outside the
publication in the News and Courier,
20 believe that they were aud that
the man who asked them is close
friend of the governor and all official.
IF it ia true the case is complete.

OF Historic Interest.

A correspondent of the Chicago In
ter Ocean has the following concern
ing the oldest railroad 10 America !:
"I4. A Emerson. traffic manager
of the South Carolina and Georgia
railroad, has compiled some interest
ing information about bis road. which
is the oldest in the United States,
aud. excepting a few short lines
built in Eagland in the early '20s. the
oldest in the world The South Car
oliua company was organized in May
81, 1928. and during 1929 six milee
of the road was constructed At the
start horse power only was used
Then a premium of $500 was award
ed to the inventor of the endless
chain process, which was calculated
to move passenger cars at the rate of
l2 miles an hour In 1929 and 1880
sails was substituted for horse power.
This experiment proved highly salts.
factory, as it carried, when the wind
was right, lS passengers and three
tons of iron at the rate of 10 miles an
hour This means of locomotion.
however, came to an abrupt end one
day, when the wind suddnly chang
ed and took the sail, mast, sailors
and ell oyerboaad in a gale which
drove the cars at Is miles an hour
s.lm March, contract was award
to the. West Point foundry of New
York to construct an engine guaran-
teed to make 10 miles an hour and
haul three times it's waight. This
was the first locomotive built III
America and it was called Best
Friend. 1t wss four.wheeled con-
cern. all the wheels being drivers
These wheels had iron hubs, with
wooden spokes and felloes. The
boiler was vertical, like an old style
porter boiler The machine exceeded
in power the widest hopes of both the
railway men and the builders, for it
proved capable of carrying load of
between 40 and so people l6 miles
an hour On June IS, 1881, negro
fireman held down The safety valve,
and as resu!t the boiler exploded,
landing the whole concern in the
ditch The accident was thought at
first to be the result of fast running,
as the train was at the time making
close to 1S miles an hour, and short
ly afterwards the following resolution
was adopted by the board of direc-
tors:
No greater speed shall be made
by the engineer than ID miles per
hour with one car of passengers,
l2 with two cars, and 10 miles with
three cars ,
"The next engine owned by the
South Carolina road was named the
West Point. and made two
miles in eight minutes The
State Legislature stepped in at
this point and declared that this
rate ofspeed was excessive and dan
gerous to human life, and as con-
sequense the company put "bar
rier" car on each train This ''bar-
rier"car was fat car loaded with
cotton bales, which was expected to
act as as a sort of brake, aud dimin-
ish the force of the fall when the pas
senger hit the ground.
"These experiments, Mr. Emerson
says, were among the early expert
ences of this historical road They
began with horse power and sails,
and to day, after varied experience,
extending over nearly three quarters
of century, the company possesses
one of the best equipped roads in
America %

Palmetto Company
With Virginia a Regiment.
South Carolinians Fought
With Those From the Old
Dominion.
CAPT. FIELD EXPLAINS TT.

A few days ago Col john P
Thomas. Sr., State librarian, stated
that there was some very meagre in.
formation that South Caroline com.
pany had served in Virginia regi'
ment during the civil war. Rowev-
er, he had been unable to obtain any
facts relative to this change. and ask
ed that if any one could furnish any
data to notify him.
A letter received yesterday by
Gov Ellerbe states that the report is
true. and gives all the causes leading
mp to the transfer. There was re-
volt among the Palmetto troops
which resulted in their casting lots
with the Virginiaus
The following letter gives q brief
account of the matter
Gov. w Il. Ellerbe, Columbia, S. G
noticed few days ago that You
wished some information as to how
q South Carolina cavalry company
came to be attached to a Virginia
regiment. As am familiar with the
circumstances shall briefly relate
them to you
The Fourth South Carolina regi.
ment entered the State service on
the s4th day of April. 1861, for IL
months and coon after transferred it's
service to the Confederate States in
January or February, 1882. Col
Micha Jenkins began to organize a
regiment for the war and 80 many
men of the Fourth regiment joined
him, there were only enough men
left TO organize q battalion of FIVE
companies These men were ex
pecting furlough at the end of the
year. But IS the federal army was
threatening Richmond they were
urged to postpone the fnrEough, to
organize the battalion for ninety
days. and then afterwards they could
go any where in the army they might
choose
At the end of tie winter days. after
the seven days fight. they demanded
the right to transfer to other branches
of service, brt were told that the
promise had been made by brigadier
generals who had no authority
Consequently number of these
men bolted, organized company
and joined Virginia regiment under
Col. Dunn They were arrested once
or twice, bu. were never pat on trial.
You remember the conscript act did
not pass until the 10th Of April, 1862.
So we believed we were out of ser
vice by our contract.
A large per cent of these men left
my company-Grifin. the Loopers
and many others | was first lieu.

The Fourth battalion was kept in

The Through Of the soldiers of the
First regiment ends to morrow and
some of the soldiers have already re
turned. A great msjorisy of them
will arrive to day go as to be on band
10 plenty time A talk among those
here brings forth variety Of opio.
IONS as to mastering out or staying
10 While great many like army
life and probably would vote to re
main in the service. there seems to
be little interes. taken in the matter
However, by to morrow night it will
be pretty well known what their
wishes are. but even after it is ex.
pressed the war department remains
to be heard from.
1t is not known how the sentiment
Of the regiment is to be obtained,
but as the number returning in-
creaaes it becomes evident that the
men do not desire to remain in the
service An officer offered to bet
Sle0 to SO that rot ooe-thlrd OF
them would so vote.
In the meantime Capt. Fuller is
making alt preparations to expedite
the mastering out. He accepts it as
fact and is not of the opinion that
the regiment will be retained Most
of the men have secured sssositions in
private life and it is hardly to be ex
oected that there would be any gen.
eraa desire among them to give them
mp.
1t is probable that the medical ex-
animation will be begun to morrow,
but it will take at least ten days to
complete It and secure the presence

of the very important features of the
whole business to the soldiers.

Every self-supporting and self-res-

tion ought to take at least two news
papers--his own home paper and the

preference to the local paper, because
that is the one that comes nearer

should have a direct, personal and
friendly interest.
Newspapers cost SO little nova
days, however, that 1t entals no
heavy burden on anyone able to rear
his family decently to enable him to
take both his local paper and the

sible to get so much of pleasure and
