Southern Railway Turned Down.

Charleston, S. c., July 2l.-Tho South
Carolina railroad commission has mott
fed Traffic Manager Culp, of tho South
orn Railway, that tho request of the
railroad companies to havo tho rate on
cotton seed in carload lots increased has
bcon refused. During the past two
years tho cotton seed industry has boon
n big factor for tho farmers and has cre-
atcd n great traffic. Tho old rates were
reasonably low and tho railroads claimed
that it was just to have them increased.
The contention is mado by tho commits
sion that tho rates in effect at tho present
time have been responsible for tho build
ing of many cotton seed oil mills, and
that this manufacturing industry would
bo crippled by any increase or change.
Making changes, tho commission adds,
would DO practically tho adoption of
legislation to tho advantage of ono inter
est and to tho detrimont of another.

Did the Southern Buy the Blue Rldsoi

A special dispatch to tho News and
Courier from Anderson, printed yester-
day, told of tho efforts which were being
made in that oity to have the Southern
Railway operate through trains from
Charleston and Columbia to Walha]la,
instead Of to Greenville, as is being done
at the present time. The Anderson
business men think this arrangement
would be best for the railroad, and they
are certain that 1t would be best for their
town. While no answer has been re-
ceived from the company, 1t is not likely
that any change will be made for some
little time. Tho Blue Ridge Railroad,
over which the new schedule to Walhalla
would have to be operated, was only
sold q few days ago and the Southern
docs not claim to have been the pur-
chaser. 1t is we'll understood, however,
that the limo was acquired by the South
ern, and tho chances are that the WAL
halla destination will bo adopted for
through trains at no distant day. With
this change Greenville would DO at the
ond Of the branch limo, running from
Bolton, at which latter point connection
would be made with trains between
Charleston and Walhalla. Tho Ander-
son people have made the point that it
is moro important to have through trains
connecting at Seneca with the main line
Of tho Southern from Washington to
Atlanta. Seneca is only thirtoon miles
from Central, which is equi-distant from
Atlanta and Charlotte. This would out
down the distance to Atlanta via Seneca
instead of Greonville, but the fact that
the Blue Ridge heretofore was not a
Southern Railway property has pre-
vented the making of Seneoa tho main
connecting station. There was rumor
in this city some weoks ago that all
trains from Charleston, or rather from
Columbia, would 60 through direct to
Walhalla instead of Groonville, and 1t
would not bo surprising to railroad peo-
plo to SEQ an announcement to this effect
issued. As stated, however, it may te
somo time before the change can be
made, if, indeed, ono is contemplated

1t has been reported on what appears
to bo the best authority that Mr.. j. w.
Mccullough, of Greenville, who for
years has bcen prominently identified
with the Democratic party, will DO tho
next United States Marshal for South
Carolina. The statement has been mado
that Mr.. McCollough's name had been
put boforc the administration, and with
tho aid of Senator McLaurin, he would
be able to land when the term of Marshal
Motion has expired. Mr.. Mccullough is

nccted with the McLaurin movement his
