As showing the autocratic manner
in which some railway officials deal
with the public, the Charleston News
and Courier relates that a week or
so ago ono of the most prominent and
progressive citizens OF that commun-
ity took advantage Of a special exeur-
sion rate offered by the Atlantis Coast
Line TO visit Washington ana other
important points in the North, lie was
required TO have mis- ticket 'Salldated" in
Washington, but because his signature
didnot in the opinion OF the validating
agent, correspond with his signature at
he time he bought the ticket in
Charleston, valuation was refused. At
least three reputable persons who hap
pened 10 be present at the time as
