Railroad Bill Passes Both Houses.

By vote of nineteen to thirteen, the
Senate passed the bill for the r,gula-
ton of railroads T.elve Democrats
and one Republican. Mccarthy, voted
against the bill. Senator Alexander
was not present.
The much discussed railway bill was
placed on final passage Tuesday. and
is now awaiting the approval of the
governor to become a law. The final
passage on this bill was the occasion
I for considerable animus from both
sides of the House.
Senator Sapp gave a parting shot to
the bill in the stateemnt that it had
been drawn by corporation lawyers
and in the interest entirely of the
railroads. He characterized it as a
sham.
when look back over the history
of this bill and see shattered platforms
and broken agreements. |, like the
Apostle Paul, am moved to exclaim.
All men are liars!'"
Senator De Long said he had just
been handed an opinion by Attorneys
O. D. Hayt and Harvey Riddell that
this bill was constitutional.
He declared that the Democratic mi
nority was voting the way the railroad
desired-to kill the bill.
Senator Scott resented the imputa-
tion with the declaration that You
know and | know you are voting at
the behests of the railroads"
THAT is unqualifiedly untrue and
YOU know it," retorted Senator De
Long, with some vehemence.
The Senate was thrown into con-
fusion here, and the president pounded
for five minutes before he secured or
der, and declared he regretted that
the members had so far forgotten them
selves as to allow their passion to get
the better of them.
Criminations and recriminations
were then made by the majority and
minority members.
Senator Burger said of all the
grand stand" four-Hushers the minor
ity was the champion.
The bill that was passed provides
for a commission of three, who snail
receive $4,000 each a year They viii
be appointc cd by the governor and viii
hold office until the next general cleo
rion. when they shall be elected. one
for two another for four and the third
for six years. One shall be elected
every two years thereafter.
The commission shall hear COM
plaints in cases where the railroads are
charged with determinations and re-
bates change the rates where they are
found to be discriminatory, but "."h
order shall be subject to review in
the District Court. and later in the Su-
preme Court, should the railroads lose
the case and appeal it to the highest
tribunal If the appeal has not been
decided in ninety days. then the order
of the commission shall become opera
tive until a decision has been rendered.
Nomnally it gives the shipper sone
show for a square deal.
There is also a reciprocal demurraGe
provision in the bill, which allows the
collection by the shipper of 81 day
from the railroad for failure to deliver
cars within reasonable time after
they have been ordered. The railroads
now collect 81 a day from shippers
who fail to unload cars of freight to
them after forty eight hours.
Another provision gives the shippo.'
the right of action against the rail
roads for any loss that might grew
cut of failure of the common carriers
to deliver cars within a reaso"ahle
time. These are the main features OF
the bill

public. When it is shown that the
railroads are discriminating or giving
rebates or charging rate that is

oHaCK's BURNED.
Handsome Summer and Winter Ho-
tel is Destroyed by Fire.

- Greenville, Dec. 14.-Telephonic
dispatches from Taylor's station say
that the Chick Springs hotel caught
fire about 10 O'Clock this evening
and was burned to the ground. At
j O'Clock this morning the ruins
were still blazing, but the fire had
= spent it's force. The origin of the
fire is not known. There was no one
in the building when the fire started,
the hotel being closed.
Chick Springs is a winter as we'll
as summer resort, but the hotel
had not yet opened for the winter
, season.
The old building, occupied by the
/ manager, Mr.. j. A. Bull, which was
&Sin close proximity to the burned
&structure, was threatened, but did
SS5Snot catch fire. The cottages belong
to the hotel were also undamag-
ss$d.
$sN The hotel was valued at $4,000
5@to $4,000, and with the addition of
y$the value of the furniture would
&bring the total loss to about $4,000.
81 There is some insurance, but the
4 loss will not be covered.
The stock was owned by j. ~.
! Bull, the president Of the company,
and number Of Greenville citizens.
This company bought the property
about three years ago and erected a
new building, which was one Of the
handsomest hotels in this state.
