the party split in 1895, but there has

characterizes the reunion of old time
workers. The unanimity with which
the Democrats have supported ad-

OF trusts is regarded as puttiny them
in a most favorable attitude for maxi

While asserting that the legislation

NOT BECAUSE OF THEIR MONEY.
why the Palm Limited Ran Back for Mrs.
Vanderbilt and Party.

Columbia, S. g. "A great deal
Of comment has been made in the
newspapers over the feet that 80 i'm.
portant Il train as the Southern Palm
Limited should have been turned
back twenty lwo miles in order to
take aboard Mrs Cornelius Wander
bilt and u party of friends. They
we're at the station ready to take the
train at Pineland, but it went on,
being finally stopped at Hardeevllle
and brought back for the party.
The circumstance has been tele-
gr"phed all over the country and the
impl ession seems to have gotten out
that the Southern turned it's train
back simply because these people
arc millionalres and persons of in.
tlnence. This is not the case, as has
been learned here 1t seems that
Pineland has been 'bulIetined," as
they say in railroad circles, as a flag
station to atop this train. The on.
gineer had overlooked that fact, it
being ono Of no groat Importance in
view Of the fact that Pineland is
side track ont in the woods.
However, being such stati IN,
passengers had II perfect right to
board the train at that place. When
the Palm Limited hove in sigh it
was tagged, but the engineer, not
having noticed that it had been mnde
stop station, went on by. An at
tempt WAS made to stop the train at
tho next station, known as Tillman,
but the operator for some reHr~n
failed to do 80.
When the train got to HardeoviiIe
the club car was detached and vas
run back for the party. 1t WAS
stated by ono familiar with railr, ud
rules and laws that this had to be
done or the company would have
been liable for damages. 1t was
further atatol that il Il negro had lie.
| sired to go on the tram under simi-
lar circumstances that it would have
| been necessary to go back for him if
a suit Of damages WAS to be avoided.
The railroad, therefore, holds that it
did not send back tho train because
the would-bo passengers were mil
lionaires, but that it was done for the
protection of the rond.
AS people all over the country
have been wondering at the cause of
the tram going back, these facts are
stated as matters Of interest.

by representing different corpora

Furthermore tho 8, stem Of keeping
books on the statesmen who have to
receive help occasionally from the
big railroads and other corporations
is etticacious. A record is kept, for
instance, of the tickets issued to carry

In days gone by Bill Smith was apt
to forget these favors after election
