WRITTEN REPLIES
AT RATE HEARINGS
Questions Put on Paper at
Southern Offices
Today.
HardWick and Attorneys
Get in Squabble Over
Testimony.

When the morning session Of the
hearing ia the North Carolina rate case
began this morning Captain Thorn con-
tinued his direct examination Of S. II.
Hardwick, passenger traffic manager OF
the Southern railway. who went On the
stand yesterday afternoon. Some inter
est was manifested in the manner in
which Captain Thorn conducted dis eX-
animation. He read his questions from
a list prepared before the hearing be-
gan, and Mr.. Hardwick's answers we're
likewise read. When Captain Thorn
turned the witness over 10 counsel for
hte State, V. c. bryant, who opened
for the State, requested and received
the paper Mr.. Hardwick had used, and
on which questions and answers were
written.
There was little Of interest in the pro-
ceedings until Mr. Bryant referred to
the hearing before the Virginia cor
poration commission, at which Mr..
HardwiCk had been a witness. Mr..
Bryant asked Mr.. BardWIck If he had
not at that time testified That the in
terState and intraState earnings Of the
Sodthern railway were kept separate.
hr. Hardwick denied that he had so
testified.
Judge Montgomery informed the law
yers for the State that they could not
question the veraCity of the witness
and would have TO produce a record OF
the evidence In question. Finally, the
testimony Of Atr. HErdwick was found
and IL proved that he had been asked
whether the interstate and intrastat5
business of the Southern in Virginia HAD
been kept separate, and he had testified
that such was the case. This, Mr.
Hardwick informed Nr. Bryant. was az
f-aaf q
You have no right to say that 1 ties
titled 10 such a thing"
The early part OF Captain ThOm's eX
animation Of the witness was designed
TO show the disastrous effect Of rat,
wars, and to prove that reduction o
rates docs not tend to increase Passen
ger traffic.

A Romance Of the South.
Considerable pubic attention was
drawn to the romantic wedding of Cen
eral and Mrs Wilder The latter was
just out of her teens. and 1t was re-
ported that there had been an elope-
ment, General Wilder carrying his
bride with him on a horse. This was
denied. although 1t was true that they
were married at a minister's home on
the outskirts Of Asheville. Ii is argued
that because Of his marriage with the
daughter of a Confederate officer, Cen
eral Wilder's. election would still be an
other bridge over the gap which once
existed between the North and South,
and his friends are making capital OF
this fact. The other candidates, how
