NIT. EGuo1luS0 G F.,
quite unwell at Batesburg, ana
Col. Wharton opened the ball Tor
the railroad commission. lie
made a speech along usual Ines
and touched on the rates on water
melons which are raised in this his
county. He laughed at the "lonlg
baul and short haul" rates. rs'
He was asked by gentleman in
II, audience il the South Carolina
commission could arrange rates
beyond the State lines. He said
not but it could cooperate with the
commissions of other States.
B. 4. Evans said that the pass
ing of the South Carolina and
Georgia railroad into the hands
of the Southern was contrary to
the constitution and that road
WIS now charging rates 70 to oO
Der cent. higher The railroad
commission is reponsible for allow
;np one railroad to absorb a COM
peting line. 1t is cheaper to haul
cotton to Denmark and ship it to
Wilmington than to ship it from
Barnwell to Charleston.
He continued his charges OF
neglect of the,people by the railroad
commission. When the people OF
Denmark protested against the
depot placed there, the commission
didn't even answer the protest
He said that the commission had
not reduced the rate on wheat. Ii
had asked the railroads to do 80.
He said that Garris (who lives
at this place) Is a good com
missioner.
Senator Pettigrew said he was
from the county which blazed the
way for other new counties
Florence. He wanted to be the
mediator between the railroads
and the people. To the truck
farmers he said that there were
rates which are unfair. The ex'
press companies are under the
supervision of railroad commission
and need regulating.
Mr.. T. N. Berry said in reply te
{ suggestion that freight rates should
be as passenger rates that pas
senger rates that passengers don,
have to be stored in warehouses
He then made his ice cream ane 1t'
hot chocolate promises. Laugh
I ter. He offered free freigh'
rates. Seriously, he spoke of nit
,proclivities. He told his liist
joke, as he had not told it here
two years before.
Mr.. w. D. Mayfeld said hi
purpose is not to hurt the railroads
The railroads are not enemies o:
the people. Are these charges ane
complaints against the commission
true? In reply it is said that th'
law is insufficient.
w. D. Evans-Interstate law.
Mayfeld-If the States law il

to offer reduction on some com
modities, it is sufficient to make
reductions on all. j

COTTON FACTORY TRUST.
Mayfeld said that capital is
leaving the State because it cannot
get rates on cotton.
G. w. Garris, railroad com.
missioner, who was seated in the
audience questioned this state
ment.
Mayfeld replied that he had it
from the papers and from the
directors themselves.
Garris replied, sIf you refer to
Mr.. Montgomery and the Pacolet
mill, he told the commission that
he would build a new mill in
Georgia on account of labor
Mayfeld wanted to know why
the mills now running buy cotton
from Alabama instead of III the
lower part of South Carolina.
Garris-Because of the attempt
to form trust to beat down prices.
If you refer to Lucas at Laurens,
he tried to get the mills in Spar
tarburg and aronnd to form a
trust to fix price of cotton, and he
declined to buy it at regular, rates
from wagons in Laurens.
(Applause.) -.
Mayfeld concluded his speech
without further interruption.
w. D. Evans warmed up today
and acquitted himself with credit.
He said that when he went OH the
board he found high rates on
many commodities. They had
reduced rates on fertilizers, then
reduced joint rates on shipments
within the State, reduced rates on
I shingles, and on cotton, at the
request of this same Mr.. Lucas.
This did not look like they were
doing nothing. The rate on wheat
had been confirmed. The law
requires 3O-days notice and op'
portunity to be heard.
