RAILROAD WORLD.

The Chicago Tribune says:
 A dozen eastern financiers, headed by the Standard oil interests, expect to con trol the entire railroad system in the country and prevent competition among the various roads. The plan is to divide the railroads of the country into a few groups or systems, each one of which is to own a substantial interest in the stocks and securities of every other big group or system and all to have representation on each others board of directors.
 The dozen financiers, all represented on the boards of the various roads, will con trol from present appearances, over 16O,- 900 miles of railroads including every im- portant trunk line in the country, repre- senting a capitalization of about sS'Ooo- OOo .0OO in stocks and bonds.
 The recouping of systems, which has been going on for some time, has not yet been completed, but from present indica- tions the western roads will be divided Into about six systems, the eastern into three or four, with the southern and New England lines forming a separate system each. The western systems or groups probably will be as follows:

pie of the country. Henry hodges,
his wife and three children, were bru-
tally murdered near Statesboro on
the night @: july 2o After the crime
had been committed their home was
burned. Corpses found in the debris
showed that the skulls of the grown
people had been broken from some
blunt instrument. Robbery was at
first supposed to have been the mo-
tive. There was the greatest excite
1nent in Statesboro and vicinity at the
time.
VIII Cato and Paul Reed, negroes
suspected of the murder, were arrest
ed soon after in connection with the
crime. Evidence developed after the
arrest that tended to show still more
heinous crime had been committed
upon the person of Mrs. Hodges and
her nine-year-old daughter, Kittie,
before they were killed. That rob-
berry was not the prime motive of the
crime was shown by the finding OF a
purse contained several dollars near
where the body of Mrs. Hodges was
discovered.
The Statesboro military company
was put on duty at the Jail at II
o'clock yesterday. This was done be-
cause a crowd of men under the in

yesterday and said they meant to have
Reed and Cato last night.
New arrests in connection with the
case had been made almost daily for
the past several days. It developed

He said that. Will Rainey. one of the
negroes who was in jail on suspic-

crime and had helped to do the deed.
There was meeting OF citizens yes

much discussion at present:

much discussion at present:
IT confess that I was once be-
lever in the dispensary law as the
best solution of the liquor question;
but after careful study OF the law and
existing conditions under it during
the past ten years I have come to the
conclusion that it is the most damna-
bic scheme that has ever been foisted
On free people.
"It is republican Capitalization pure
and simple, and it's effects is to take
the government of the people out of
their own hands and put it in the
hands of the people who run the dis
pensary machine.
The idea Of the dispensary came
from Russia and it has a Russian ef-
feet upon our liberties. The object
Of my bill was not to help the dis
pensary, but to kill it, and hope to
see the day when that bill will be-
come the law in South Carolina.
LAS to what will come after the dis
pensary I can't say, but it can be no
worse. The dispensary debauches the
whole state, increases crime and
makes the state act like a drunkard
generally. For individual sins God
holds us accountable hereafter, but
for the sins OF the state He Furnishes
rs here, and we can have no more real
prosperity until we throw off this ter
rible abomination"
