THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL
Said TO Be The Power Behind the
Tennessee Central Railway.

Chicago, Aug. 14-Rumor has it
that the Illinois Central is back Of
the building of the Tennessee Cen
trail railway. While confirmation
of the rumor could not be obtained
to-day, it was not emphatically de-
MED by the officials Of the company
located here. The Tennessee Cen
trail is being constructed from Har-
riman, Tenn to Hopkinsville, KY,
on the Princeton branch of the
Illinois Central, a distance of 2I0
miles. Among other cities it runs
through Crossville, Smithville,
Sparta, Nashville and Clarksville,
and from Emory Gap there will be
a branch running south to Kingston,
a distance of six miles. Its main
connection is the Queen and Cres-
cent route at Hartman Junction.
Nearly every foot of the country
through which the line Will run is
rich in deposits OF iron ore and
coal, which will give the road
plenty Of freight. The line is being
constructed with a view to econo-
mical operation and good speed. 1t
is expected that the grading will
be completed as far as Monterey by
September.
Ia connection with its new ven
lures the Illinois Central Is to open
its Little Rock service about Au
gust 30.

REMARKABLE TOWN.
Six Thousand Inhabitants OF
Pelzcr. S. S., Under Rule.
No Newspaper, No Courts, Law
yers No Saloons and No
Police.

Probably the most remarkable
town in the United States s Pelzer,
S. c. Though a hourishiug, pro-
gressiye business center, with a
population Of over 5000, it has no
city government, no Councils, no
Mayor and no police In spite OF
this extraordinary condition of af-
fairs, the city has the reputation Of
being one of the best regulated
cities in the country.
This strange city has been in ex-
istence seventeen years and pre-
sents one Of the most interesting
phases Of the study of the municipal
problem that ever confronted the
student. It has no newspaper, no
courts, no lawyers, no saloons, no
theaters, no politicians, and in the
entire population Of 5000 not one
face is black. There is no private
ownership, everything in the city,
land, buildings and manufacturing
industries belonging exclusively to
the great corporation which
established the town
In its entire history Of seventeen
years there has never been a single
murder committed, and the city
has never experienced a strike or
any kind of labor disturbances.
The antecedents of all persons COM
ing into the town as residents and
employees are carefully inves-
tigated, and only those bearing un-
tarnished regulations are per-
mitted to remain.
he town has several fine schools,
there are a free circulating library
and reading rooms, which are free
to every resident. The citizens are
industrious and thrifty, and in the
only bank in the town have invest
cd over 9lOO'oUO OF their savings.
One man has supreme authority
over the entire town and Its lnhabi
tants, and no potentate of Europe
is vested with more peremptory
powers. This man is the Presi-
dent Oh the company which founded
ana owns the town.
Al present Mr.. Ellison A, Smyth
Is the autocrat to preside over the
destinles OF Pelzer citizens and
their interests. Mr.. Smyth has as
sistants, but tull power is vested in
him tor the conduct OF the city.
When interviewed for the Mail
and Express recently, Mr.. Smyth
remarked;
Our system does away with all
the evils OF politics and ofhce-seek-
ing OF course, you might argue
that 1t vests a great deal of power
IN the hands of one man and that
the abuse of this authority mightre-
suit IN dangerous conditions. There
is certain element of truth in that,
but we have been living under this
system for seventeen years, and
our city is one OF the best governed
IN the country. Our citizens are
not ourdened with exorbitanttaXes,
neither are they compelled to main
tam useless and expensive Office
holders. Every one IN Pelzer must
work for living, and time-serying
politicians and those who live att
the expense OF other people give our

WHY HE CANNOT VOTE FOR
STICK

A Wapello county republican, who
was solicited the other day to vote
for Hon. A. G. oleck, democratic can
didate for congress for personal rea-
sons, made the following wise and pa
triotic reply:
Eyes, know Mr.. Steck, have known
him for years and we are personal
friends. He is a genial gentleman,
and If that were the only thing to be
considered in electing a congressman
/ should be glad to help Mr. Steck sat-
tain his ambition. You ask me to vote
for him for personal reasons. Suppos-
ing should do so and that by my vote
Mr.. Steck should be elected. He
would go to congress to represent who
and what-the democratic party and
the principles represented by that or
ganization. Do you suppose when i'm
in the house that Mr.. Steck would vote
as | wanted If / should ask him to
do SO for personal reasons. No sir!
believe in sound money, in the gold
standard, and in the protective tariff.
Mr.. Steck is the candidate of party
pledged to wipe out and abolish these
beneficent measures. If elected, She
would vote with his party, and I'LL
should, for personal reasons assist in
his election,I would be dishonest with
myself and traitor to the principles
in which so firmly believe. If have
a law suit, l will for personal reasons,
be glad to employ Mr.. Steck as my at
torney, but vote for him for congress,
