TnF PULLMAN CAR MONOPOLY
Ought to Be Regulated Along With
the Railroads.

tuc kdllruduS'
This reform legislation will scarce
ly have completed it, work with the
transportation agencies of our time
until it gives little attention to the
Pullman Gar company.
The Pullman company has al
ways been "the spoiled darling" of
the railroad world. 1t has been pet
ted and humored and sought after
and pampered to by the railroad sys-
TENS of the country from it's first en-
trance into the field of transporta.
ton.
The Pullmsl company does not
pay the raillo loads of the country for
hauling its cars, but it is paid BY the
railroads for permitting them to
haul its cars along its lines. We do
not know the present fee, but it was
at one time the custom that the rail-
road systems paid the Pullman COM
pany 3 cents mile for every Car
that travelled over their lines.
While an essential comfort and q
genuine luxury, the Pullman has al.
so been a great money-maker and an
absolute monopoly.
There are two things which the
public would like to see done and
which ought to be done by the Pull
man company.
1t ought to be required by Law that
unless it's necessary the upper berths
shon!d be left up when passenger
is sleeping in the lower. The pres
ent custom is to con6ne passenger
who pays $500 night IN the lower
berth, and, even if he is the only
passenger in the car, to conf1ne him
by lowering the upper berth upon
him to inclose him in narrow, stuf-
fy area like box for the entire night.
Of course, when the company has
other passengers, and can sell the
uper berths, they cannot be blamed
for doing so, but the law ought to
intervene to prevent this discomfort
to passengers when it is not necessa.
~. No man sleeps in a s:ufy, mar
row berth Of Pullman car during
q tedious night without feeling some
life and vitality gone out of him
from sheer lack of oxygen. OF
course, when it is necessary it has to
be done, but the law ought to pre-
vent it when it not necessary.
What one State has done, another
may do. Wisconsin has already
passed bill requiring Pullman
companies to put up the upper berths
n sleeping cars when they are not
occupied, and this og1essive action
of Wisconsin may be very whole
somely considered ln> Georgia.
ltis also perfectly just that sleep
ing cars should charge less for up
per berths than for lower bertha.
Every hotel charges for its rooms in
proportion to comfort, eligibility
and convenience, aud the passenger
who has to climb a step ladder to a
narrow, little cubby hole up against
the roof ought not to pay as much
as the passenger who can retire With
greater facility and larger convent
ence below.
If the lower berth costs 81 a night
the upper berth ought to be sold fol-
$3.50. Such a measure would en-.
courage the use of the upper berths
by persons who would take them for
economy's sake.
Hare is a thoroughly practical re.
form which we commend to onr law
makers in session at the present
time. 1t is practical because it has
already been put into effect IN other
enlightened commonwealths, aud the

John S Wilson of Clarendon
has rendered Gov. Ausel his res
ignation as solicitor of the third
judicial circuit aud will on Septem-
Der l don the ermlne, becoming
Judge of the same circuit which he
has served for 19 years successfully
and faithfully as prosecuting officer.
Mr. Wilson succeeds his brother-in-
law, Hon R O Purdy of Sumter,
&ho resigned from the beuch during
the last session of the legislature.
The general assembly elected Mr.
Wilson to be Judge by very hatter'
6ng vote and all arrangements have
been made for the transfer of the
judicial ermine.
Following is the letter of resigna-
tion handed Gov. Ansel by Mr.
Wilson:
Manning, S c., August 10,
To His Excelleucy, NJ F Ansel,
Governor, Columbia, S c.
Dear Sir: Having been elected
to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation Of Hon R o Pur.
dy as Judge of the Sd judicial
circuit, of this State, I hereby
tender my resignation as Solici-
tor of said circuit to take effect
ON the Goth of August, inst.
Yours very espectfully,
JOHN S WILSON.
The vacancy IN tho Office of solic-
Itor has caused a number of sugges.
tions for the appointment which
will be made by Gov. Ansel in a few
days. Among those who have had
their names presented by their
friends are Senator Walter Il Wells
of Florence, Mr. W F Clayton of
Florence, Mr. J B Mclaughlin of
Bishopville, and Col J J Cantey
of Summerton.
The resignation of Mr. Wilson was
rendered in person, and his friends
in Columbia rejolced to see that he
das about recovered FROM his recent
illness. 1t will be a matter of great
qualification for Gov Ausel to sign
the commission of "Judge John S
Wilson," for the two were intimate
friends when they came here for
eight successive years IS solicitors to
supervise the preparation of bills in
the engrossing department Mr.
Wilson, Mr. Ansel and Mr. J z
Henry of Chester in all that time
had a suite of, rooms together and
their intercourse was mutually pleas
can't and helpful.
Gov Ansel, who is never extrsva-
giant in the use Of language, said 3
few days ago that he considers John
S. Wilson one of the purest, truest
and highest men in the State. This
fact was proved by his having no
opposition for so many years in his
career as solicitor.
The following sketch of Judge
Wilson was prepared for The State
BY one who has known him for .
score of years and has Watched his
career with interest:
John Snowden Wilson comes from
that good old Scotch.Irish stock,
which has furnished South Carolina
with so many of her most honored
sons and stamped on her civilization
80 deep an impress. He was born
on farm, forced by the circum-
stances of war in early life to work
for others more helpless than him
self and learning by self-denial aud
virtue to set true estimate on the
things of the world.
Mr. Wilson comes from stock
which made old Williamsburg coun-
ty and rescued the soil of the State
from the invading hosts OF England.
His great.grandfather Wilson and on
mis- mothers side his great-grand-
father Paisley were born in The Rev
-olutionary war and did good service

SENATOR RAINES'S RESOLUTION.
In the Senate Senator Raines moved that that
part relating 70 apportionment be referred 70 the
Apportionment Committee when appointed and
the rest sent 10 the Judiciary Committee. Then
he presented his resolution as follows:
Whereas The Attorney General has given as his
opinion that election OF Senators Is necessary
this year under the constitutional apportonment OF
1894 and presumably he would hold such election
necessary under any new apportonnent made this
year. and
Whereas II is believed by many that apportiOn-
ment cannot be made at extraordinary session
OF the Legislature and also that no apPortionrnent
would be valid unless made oy legislature
elected from the Assembly and Senate districts as
established by the constitutional apportionment OF
1894: therefore,
Resolved Uf the Assembly concuD. That the
judiciary committees OF the Senate and Assembly
be directed Jointly 10 consider tho questions In
volved and 10 report their conclusion TO the Legis-
lature at the earliest moment possible.
Senator Travis, who fought hard for his direct
primary bill at the regular session, had new
drafts OF II ready. an improved edition. he said
carefully than In the bill killed at the regular
session. He presented 1t and got from Senator
Gilchrist the announcement that he was pre-
pared fight II in every way.
After a long debate the Assembly passed 4
resolution authorizing the Speaker 10 appoint a
special committee OF five apportionment.
The Speaker intimated that he would not ap-
point the committee Immediately.
While there is considerable bitterness on each
side regarding the apportioument difference,
there Is evident a desire also on each side 20
bring about settlement if IT be done with
out too great concessions. The Senate leaders
still adhere TO their advocacy of the Tully bill.
but the belief is general that they will not de-
mand the enactment of that measure without

will consent to one two minor changes. pro-
viding that the whole scheme OF the Tully
apportionment is not changed. On the other

Statement Made in Chicago By
Standard attorneys.

Chicago. July S.--Tne attorneys for the Stand
ard OIL Company declined to-day to submit
further evidence in the investigation held
Saturday by Judge Lands in the United States
District Court. Judge Lands then announced
that sentence would be passed on the Standard
Oil Company of Indiana, which was convicted OF
using Illegal railroad rates. August 8.
At the opening Of court to-day Judge Lands
asked the attorneys for the oil company IL they
had anything to offer prior to the entering of Il
final order
I'VE have a formal statement to make" said
Mr.. Rosenthal. He read IT substantially fol-
lows:
In answer TO the court as to whether the
defendant desires to offer any evidence tending
to show that the defendant or the Standard Oil
Company OF New Jersey, never violated the
interstate commerce law before, and appearing
now for the purpose of answering this inquiry,
and denying the jurisdiction of the court in the
premises and contending that this entire in
quiry is beyond the legal power of the court,
the defendant still insisting that the record in
this case shows that it is innocent of the Of
fences charged in the Indictment, the defendant
desires 70 say: There IN the record no
suggestions that this defendant ever before was
charged with violation of the interstate COM
merce law.
For this defendant now to assert its nno-
cence Of matters that it Is not charged with, or
attempt TO show that it has been innocent OF
of the record of this case, would present situa-
ton unheard of in AnglO-SaXon jurisprudence"
The statement asserted at some length that
the court has no right to go outside the record
OF the in considering the penalty to be
melted out, and concluded
IF the occasion shall ever arise in appro-
pirate proceeding where this defendant can
without any waiver OF its legal rights subject
itself 10 the question OF its having heretofore
violated the Interstate Commerce law 1t will

by either the Standard Oil Company OF New

Throughout the reading of this statement
Judge Lands listened with much interest, and
when 1t was finished said abruptly:
