railroads. Just now two lines are making
race to that city from Triton at top
speed. As already reported work began
on the Triton, brownsville and Gulf at
this point last week, and now news comes
to Triton that the Pinopolis Saw Mill Co.
which also owns and operates the Sparks
Moultrie and Gulf began work Monday
on the extension of their line from Sin
clair, station on their line, four miles
east of Moultrie, to Triton.
A charter was secured a few weeks
since for a line from Moultrie to the
northern boundary of Colquitt county
and the Pinopolis company say thew pro-
pose to build through to Triton. regard
less of whether any other line is built or
not They have a large body of timber
IN Northeastern Colquitt, and when thew
build to this will be so close 10 Triton
that the saving in their own freights
alone will warrant the completion of the
line.
This will give Triton two direct lines

FINLEY DISCUSSES RATES.
states the southern's Position as to
south Carolina.

south Carolina.
Columbia, S. C, May 4.-Railroad people
and the state commission are sun talking
rates. The most Interesting statements
so far made before the commission were
those OF Second Vice President w. w.
Finley of the Southern, wherein he out
lined the policy of the road on some i'm
portant points and went, into the round
bale question.
Speaking of The rates on cotton. Mr..
Finley said that the general reduction
brought about by the requirement of the
South Carolina and Georgia road, which
would necessitate through rates under the
law. would be very much more to the ad-
vantage of the people than the changes
prepared by the commission.
The Southern, under the law. will make
concessions of the utmost value which
have not yet been considered in dollars
The Southern wants to improve all its new
property as ii has been doing-our sur
plus earnings go into such improvements
The new economic conditions have not
been fully considered, but | am satisfied
the commission understands the new con-
ditions brought about by the continuous
ulledEe faNe.
The whole Piedmont section of the state,
said Mr.. Finley, would be vastly benefited
As to the Ohio River and Charleston
road. Mr. Finley declared the Southern
will be friendly with It, that they proposed
TO keep that line in position to be a COM
petitor; all they require will be that the
Ohio River and Charleston obeys state and
interstate laws, and shows no preference
to cities or individ ais.
1.-THE Southern will in no way cripple
the Ohio River and Charleston, or the
South Carolina and Georgia Extension
Company"
Drifting into the discussing of cotton
rates, Mr.. Finley said conditions would be
changed.
There are" said he, "at present two
strong companies getting out the round
bales. If this round bale business devol-
ops 1t will likely be more on the order of
local business. We win get this cotton
largely from local points and if the effect
Of the round bale be 10 force its consid-
Grafton on a compressed basis, there may
be some material reduction in rates"
Final action has not been taken by the
commission as to forcing its lower sched-
ule of rates.
