New York state, to show cause on Fri

New Rate Law Increases Travel.

Raleigh. n. c., Oct. 1.-The hearing
in the Southern Railway rate case de-
veloped a purpose to show that travel
on the Southern Railway. particularly
on trains running out of Greensboro
was extremely heavy and beyond the
capacity Of the trains to handle with
comfort, and that travel had increased
greatly since the "a cent rate law
went into effect. The testimony Of wit
nesses thus far has been in support Of
this theory.

Roosevelt is popular with Democratic
shippers and producers And is it
any wonder that the position of the
Democratic party in the house of rep
resentatives under Mr.. Williams
leadership is ridiculous upon the great
question of national regulation of
interstate railroads? I say idicu-
lous because if such an insufficient
measure were pot ascribed to ignor-
ance it would fall under the designa-
tion of party treachely.
"And a year ago the Democratic
position on the Hepburn rate bill, in
my opinion, was lamentably deficient
IN beth a public and a party sense.
The Democratic members joined in
with the Republicans and unanimous
ly reported the Hepburn bill. 1t con-
tanned no provision against free pass
es. II did put express companies
under control of law.
'I offered four amendments to the
Hepburn bill and they were voted
down under the leadership of Mr..
Williams by a union of Democrats
and Republicans. These amendments
were taken by me from the rate reg
ulation bill then pending in congress,
introduced by William Randolph
Hearst of New York, and we're 40 fol-
lows:

past leadership has put Democracy
behind the Republicans on one of the
greatest of national questions, regu-
lation of rates on interstate lines of
railroads? [ am satisfied one or two
Democratic members Of the commit
tee must have yielded their Judgment
to Mr.. Williams on the Hepburn
bill"
In reply to a question as to who
will be the probable opponent of Mr..
Williams in the race for minority
leadership, Congressman Lamar said:
Judge DeArmand, of Missouri.
He has been in the house of repre-
sentatives fourteen years. He is
fine lawyer and a grand man and ar
dent friend and follower of Democ-
racy's great champion, and [ hope,
our next president, William j. BIy-
an.
Turning from the topic of national
politics, Congressman Lamar spoke
OF the prosperous condition Of Flori-
da, his native state.
''We are getting along finely down
there" said he. "South and east
Florida are prosperous in their lum-
Der and phosphate output and in their
oranges, early vegetables, celery and
berry crops. The Third congressional
district, which have the honor to
represent, is also prospering with its
lumber, cotton, cattle and tobacco in
dustries. THE Atlanta Georgian.

TRADING AT HOME.

Local reciprocity among business
men, tradesmen, professional men
and in fact all lines Of endeavor, is
what makes town prosperous. We
have as good stores in Orangeburg as
are to be found anywhere and all are
stocked with up-to-date goods as is
quite generally well known.
In the face of these facts it is then
strange why some people will send
their good money away to the big
mail order houses in the cities who
have absolutely no interest in the
welfare Of Orangeburg otherwise
than to extract money from well
meaning but misguided citizens. Such
money spent does Orangeburg no
good whatever, while if expended with
our own merchants at home it is
kept in local circulation and the tax
payers receive the benefit therefrom.

dustry will patronizs you.---Orange-

LAMAR DECLARES WILLIAMS
RECORD WILL DEFEAT HIM.
Florida Congressman Arraigns Mi
nority Leader on Past Record.

Hon. w. B. Lamar, member Of con-
gress from the Third congressional
district Of Florida, accompanied by
his wife, arrived IN Atlanta Wednes-
day evening and will spend several
days at the Piedmont Hotel Con-
gresham Lamar and his wife spent
the month Of August at Saratoga
Springs and since September have
been visiting in New York.
Congressman Lamar is nephew
of the famous L. Q. c. Lamar, who
represented his state in congress for
many years. He is an able politi-
clan and is thoroughly familiar with
the issues of the day. When asked
his opinion Of what will be done in
congress during the winter, he said
"The Republican majority will
seek to do as little as possible polit-
ically. They will pass all necessary
appropriation measures and then
will want to adjourn.
Mr.. Lamar was then asked if Rep
resentative john Sharp Williams will
be elected leader of the Democratic
minority again, and in reply he said:
81 sincerely hope not. The Dem
ocratic people in every state would
make it congressional issue that
their representatives do not vote for
Mr.. Williams as minority leader if
they knew his record upon railroad
rate legislation.
"Two years ago Mr. Williams called
a Democratic caucus, stating that it
was his intention to resign his minor
ity leadership. Instead of doing so,
he ignored that purpose and proposed
a railroad rate bill called the 'Davy
bill, and had the Democratic caucus
to adopt it. l stated in the caucus
that it was an insufficient measure,
and so did several others. This eau
cus was called two or three weeks
prior to the conclusion of hearings
Of railroad men and shippers then
being taken before the interstate and
foreign commerce committee, Of
which I was a member.
"The caucus bill contained not
one line to help the Georgia peach
growers from the extortionate icing
charges of the 'private car line COM
panies. It did not contain one line,
not single provision, enabling the
cotton men of Georgia, or lumber
men or peach-growers to COM
pei the railroads to furnish them cars
to transport their products to mar
ket.
president Roosevelt in his mes
sage to congress prior to this Demo-
cratic caucus had specifically recon-
mended that the private car lines be
placed under the authority of law
that their extortionats icing charges
could be veduesd
