PARRY ON RATE-MAkING AND
DISASTERS.

d. M. Parry, president of the Ma
tionll Manufacturers association,
writes to American Industries" the
following:
81 believe that government rate
making means the destroying of COM
petition, and not monopoly; that it
must be supplemented by legal pool
ing; that the results would tend to in
ieXibility in rates; the stopping of
the wheels of progress; the magnify
ing of the power of the government
to a dangerous degree AMI the intro
duction in our political life of a never
ending source of strife between the
various parts of the nation. In fact,
believe it would be a national crime
against the fundamental principles of
free country and blow in the face
of our great prosperity.
LET those who favor government
rate-making answer the arguments
made against it. Incidentally it is no
argument to charge those who oppose
the proposition with being Influenced
by the railroads; nor is it a valid
argument to saw the air with passion
ate TRADES against the granting of re-
bates and other practices that are
condemned by all.
"The question is one of the greatest
moment, because it involves a depar-
ture in government policy that may
have far-reaching consequences lead
ing in the direction of Socialism. We
have got along for fifty years without
government fixing of railroad rates,
and surely there are no good reasons
for haste in considering the advisa-
bility of entering on such course at
the present time. At least it seems
to me that the question is one that
should be most carefully considered
and that ample opportunity should be
given for the fullest discussion upon it.
I'm conclusion, l sincerely hope the
majority of the members of this asso-
citation will support the majority sen.
timent of it's board of directors in the
conclusion that there should be no i'm
mediate cloture of the debate on gov
eminent rate-making in this associa-
tion."

Upon the whole. then, and in con-
clusion: we have assimilated into
our governmental structure an in
stitution wearing all the aspects, con-
tanning all the defects, subject to all
the abuse of private or corporate en-
terprise, and we are, as body polite,
more poorly equipped for dealing with
those evils than would be a corpora
ton animated solely by business in
stincts and capable of acting strictly
on business principles. The apparent
success of this venture inspires inco-
herent demands for unlimited illeglti-
mate additions to it's already over
burdened and dangerous functions.

ditions and current tendencies to give

would p nit mail order houses in the
larger cities to ultimately control the
retail business of the entire country

for these establishments at a cost

The controversy thus going on be-
tween conflicting interests, one seek

injury from an innovation in postal
methods, shows how distinctively it
is a part of the business machinery
of the country, and how susceptible it
is of abuse from unconsidere - is

difficult to see what argument can be
adduced in favor of carrying parcels
of merchandise at rates far below the
cost of such carriage that will not
equally apply to conducting our entire
transportation or manufacturing bust
ness by the general government for
the benefit of favored classes of its
citizens. 1t is the belief of thinking
persons that the use of the mails for
transporting merchandise goes far
enough under existing laws.

posed are bewildering in their details

in seeking by this indirect means to
reduce the high charges of railroads
and express companies, which they
allege now prevail.
1t is argued that this concession
would greatly increase business and
accommodate the people. No account
is taken of the loss that would neces-
sarily result to the postal revenues,
which it has been demonstrated would
be over $100,000,000 a year. That is
consideration of little weight with
the manufacturers of small articles of

WHO DOES OWN IT7

The following is taken from the Spar
tanburg Herald:
"The attention of Mr.. John B. Cleve-
land, president Of the Charleston and
Western Carolina railway, was called
article Which appeared in a recent is
u of the Greenville News to the effect
that the c. & w. C. had been leased
to the Atlantic Coast Line, and would
probably be leased to the Seaboard Air
Line. Mr.. Cleveland stated that the G.
& w. G. railway is not now leased by
the Atlantic Coast Line, has never been
leased by that road; nor is it owned by
the Coast Line. The G. & w. G. is not
leased or owned by any other railroad
or corporation"
This statement is Of course strictly
true and yet it is mysterious. Read by
itself it leaves the impression that the
connection between the Atlantic Coast
Line and the Charleston & Western
Carolina railways is practically the same
as that between the Washington monu-
ment and Adams cat; yet the general
officers of the Charleston and Western
Carolina are in fact general officers
of the Atlantic Coast Line and a
majority of the directors of the
two companies we believe, are iden-
teal. 1t is said that the same men
who own a controlling interest in
the A. C. l.. own a controlling interest
in the G. & w. G. This of course is not
the A. G. l.. owning or controlling the
c. & w. c.; inasmuch as it is possible
for a trick rider in a circus to drive
two horses which are not harnessed to-
gether and the old-fashioned doctrine
that things equal to the same thing are
equal to each other has been exploded.
Since the question of the ownership
of the C. G. w. C.. has been raised we
wish the ~Spartanburg Herald would tell
fully and freely who does own and con
troll it and what akin its owners are to
those of the Atlantic Coast Line sys-
tenn.
We hope that the new year will see a
number of new enterprises set on foot
in Laurens. The town cannot grow
merely by the prosperity of the farm
ers. We must have industries which
will give employment II we are to have
a larger population.

THE STANDARD LOWERED.

In the "Old Ring Rule" days when
Col. r. M. Sims and Mayor Lightner
and Col. j. Q. Marshall were in office
no scandal arose about the office Of
Secretary of State. Nobody claims or
suspects that the State Of South Caro-
lima lost a dollar through any State Off
Ger between 1875 and 1896. Yet In 1890, in
the manifesto which Senator Tillman
wrote were charges of "~incipient cor
ruption' and "bamboozling and de-
baunching." Since 1890 such charges
have been common they have been
made time and time again and, they
have been proved.
Since 1890, scores of good men have
held offices, scores Of good men are in
Office now, but with the introduction
of Tillman methods the general stand
ards of personal honor were lowered.
Nowadays a man may be elected to
an office merely by debt and rapid hand
%shaking-a man who 20 years ago
would not have had the unmitigated
cheek to offer for a State office. The
late General John Bratton, once Comp
troller General and Congressman, were
he alive to-day would be easily beaten
for Secretary of State. Senator Tillman
and Reform made public life in the
State of South Carolina difficult to pure
and good men Of the Bratton stamp.
The cold Ring Rulers" the "Oligar-
chy," probably were upon an average
the highest, cleanest minded set Of
political leaders who have been in office
In any American State since the great
war.
1t was absolutely necessary to kick
them out for as long as their ideals and
their standards prevailed there was no
chance whatever for-well, it would be
unkind to name them.

A BRILLIANT WEDDING.
Miss cozart of Washington, Ga, and
Mr.. Samuel r. darlington.

Washington, Ca, Jan. 3.-The mar
riage of Miss Mary Cozart, of this city,
to Mr.. Samuel Fleming Darlington, of
Augusta, was a brilliant event, which
was celebrated at high noon to-day at
the home of the BRIDES mother, Rev.
DR.. j.. I. Plunket, of Augusta, was the
officiating clergyman, using the inn
pressive ring service of the Presbyte-
rian church.
The whole lower floor of the well-ap-
pointed home was thrown open into one
large room and decorations of smilax,
ferns, dollhouse plants supplemented
with the little pink and white bells
which were tied to the garlands of
bamboo with colonial bows of pink tulle,
presented a most attractive and bril-
liant scene. In the drawing room
where the marriage ceremony was per-
formed an altar of ferns, palms and
smilaX which reached to the ceiling
was made and on either side of this
were arranged the innumerable waxen
tapers in handsome silver c%andelabras
which threw a soft radiance over. the
room.
AS Mendelssohn's wedding march was
being rendered by Mrs. Belle Hill King,
the ribbon girls came from the hall and
took their places just at the entrance
to the drawing room. They were
Misses Elizabeth Cozart of Augusta;
Frances billiard, Fannie Lou Cozart and
Annie Baker, of Augusta. Each wore
dainty frocks of chiffon with pink rib
bons.
Following the ribbon girls, Mr.. j. G..
G. Black, Of Augusta, and John 7.
Olive, vi Augusta, entered the drawing
room and took their places to the left
and right of the altar. Then came Miss
Nella Lou Walton, of Newman, and
Miss Elizabeth Todd, of Laurens, S. c.,
who proceeded Mr. Bryson M. Crane and
Mr.. Paul r. Sledge, Jr., of Augusta.
Miss Irwin then came just before the
first bridesmaid, Miss Lucy Reese Dill
lard, and the m~aid-of-honor, Miss Annie
Victoria Cozart. The bride, the cyno-
sure OF all eyes, entered on the arm of
her brother, DIR. A. P. Cozart, of
Lumpkin, just as the groom and his
best man, Mr.. Thomas Eyer Carey,
emerged from the dining room on the
left, and joined at the alter where the
vows were taken.
The bride, who is the Oldest daughter
OF Mrs. John Pettus Cozart, is a tall
and graceful young woman of striking
beauty and was especially lovely in an
exquisite handmade robe trimmed with
duchess lace. She carried a shower
bouquet of lilies of the valley and her
veil was caught with a spray of the
same flower.
Each of the bridesmaids wore hand
some dresses of pink radium and carried
large clusters of bridesmaid roses.
Immediately following the ceremony
a large and brilliant reception was ten
dered from 1890 until $50 by the brides
mother, Mrs. John Pettus Cozart.
MIR. and Mrs. Darlington took the af-
ternoon train for New York, going by
way of Atlanta where they will visit
two weeks before their return to Au-
gusta. The bridal party accompanied
the young married couple to Barnett,
where a train for the east was taken.
Many out-of town guests from Augusta
and other points were present.
