THE PUBLIC SERVICE PLANS.

Messrs. Chas. r. Van Etten, Law
renee Pinckney and other promoters OF
the South Carolina Public Service cor
poration have visited different towns
in the state included in the route OF
the proposed line, and appointed local
committees to help things along In
their respective territories.
Committees have been named for
Charlotte, Union, Anderson, Chester
Spartanburg. Winnsboro, Abbeville
Greenville and Charleston. The ROCK
Hill committee has not yet been ap-
pointed; but it Is announced that II
will be appointed within the next few
days. The Chester committee consists
of the following: A. G. Brice, chair
man; J. L. Glenn, s. M. Jones, T: H.
White, A. NJ. Aiken and Joseph A
Walker, Sr.
The Charlotte Chronicle Of Wednes-
day quotes in part a speech from Mr..
Pinckney setting forth the plans OF
the proposed system as follows:
Some years ago several gentlemen
from New York were in this state,
looking over the ground with view
of building an electric railroad.
Through friends learned Of the prop
osition and met the gentlemen. They
discussed the details Of their propos-
ed railroad with me, and, after exam
lining carefully into the situation and
making several trips to New York, l
became convinced that they had good
business proposition, not alone for
themselves, but for the state as we'll.
The result Of these conferences was
the organization Of the present COM
pany. known as the South Carolina
Public Service corporation, which Is
now chartered under the laws Of the
state Of Soutl Carolina, capitalized at
ten millions dollars, and I may add
that l am so thoroughly convinced OF
it's success that / have taken an In
terest in the corporation and become
one Of its directors.
THE total length Of the road as
planned will be 534 miles. and we have
already completed about $50 miles or
the surveys, and secured some OF the
rights Of way and franchises. and now
have a preliminary organization or nj
ty men working to complete the bal
ance.
THE route Of the proposed road ~
from Charleston via Summerville, Hol-
ly Hill and Orangeburg to Columbia
continuing from Columbia, via Winns-
boro, Chester and Rock Hill to Char
lotte, N. c., with a division running
from Orangeburg through Norway,
Springfield and Aiken to Augusta, Ga.

PLEA OF PRESIDENT FINLEY.
Says American Freight Rates Are
Lowest In the World.


Lowest In the World.
President w. w. Finley of the
Southern railroad, on Wednesday made
plea for harmony between the rail-
roads end the people. In an interview
given out from Washington he said:
mot only do believe that 1t Is to
the interest Of the railways and the
people that spirit of harmony and
cooperation and OF fair and just
dealing should be fostered, but be-
lieve that in the present state Of af-
airs II is the patriotic duty Of every
man to contribute his utmost toward
bringing about these better relations.
The future prosperity Of the country
depends in a large measure upon the
correct solution Of the transportation
problems.
1.-The railways should treat every
purchaser of transportation with JUS
tice and fairness and the people should
oe equally just and fair to the roads.
When differences arise they should be
discussed freely and frankly, and every
endeavor should be made to settle
them in accordance with fair business
principles. Under such conditions
here would be little need Of statute
laws for the regulation Of the pur-
chase and sale OF transportation ana
few occasions would arise for appeals
to state and Federal commissions.
There is a present day tendency"
he continued, Ito subject railways to
government control to degree that
everybody would condemn as being
unfair and unjust IL applied to any
other kind Of business and TO impose
restraint upon them that would GER
tainly make impossible the improve
ment of their facilities and that might
make impossible even the maintenance
Of those they now have. AT such q
time the people Of the south should
see to 1t that there is developed an
economic statesmanship, high and
broad enough to provide protection for
railroad property and to encourage the
development OF railroad systems of
that section to the highest possible
state of efficiency. II Is difficult Tor
railroads to secure money on condi-
lions equally as favorably as others.
Responsibility for the conditions
rests largely with those who regard
railroads as the proper prey to be de-
spoiled with impunity. A business
man can not be too careful to look at
every proposition for legislation at
fecting transportation from all sides
and to make sure the proposals pur-
porting to be for his bzenefit, win not
In practice work to his injury.

tain failed to make the necessary no
tations on muster rolls or returns or
careless adjutant general failed to
include his organization in strength
report.
II regard it important that all pa
triotic military bodies equip them
selves not only to drill, to march, TO
mess and to shoot by methods which
enable them to take their places pc
sides their comrades in the regular
service, but that they endeavor TO
adopt and employ as nearly all OF their
administrative forms and methods as
conditions of their service Will per-
NIT"
In conclusion, Colonel Heistand
said that he would be glad to see as
a requirement for any position IN the
classified civil service Of the govern
ment. an honorable discharge from
its military or naval service or from
the organized militia Of one OF the
states or territories.

A PROMINENT Frenchman was re-
Gently murdered in Morocco because
of the general inability OF the sultan
of Morocco to preserve order. The
French government, convinced that II
cannot secure safety for its citizens In
any other way, has arranged to send
an army into Morocco to compel sub
mission on the part Of the turbulent
portion Of the population.

THE final report Of the government
on the cotton crop for 1906 fixes the
number Of bales at 13,290,677, which
is next to the largest crop that
has ever been grown, that of 19O4-O5
topping 1t by less than 100000 bales.
Since 1896 there has been only one
crop of less than ten million bales, the
single exception having been in 1899,
when the number of bales raised was
9,436,416. There have been four years
with more than ten million bales.
three with eleven and two with more
than thirteen million. Thirteen million
bales of cotton and more selling at an
average of more than ten cents a
pound means wonders, especially to
the south and southern INDUSTRIES
Greenville News.
All that is correct, and while there
is nothing to be gained by crying over
split milk, still one is justified In
speculating over the situation had the
south all along been getting reason
able price for it's cotton crop. The fact
that two 100000 bale crops have
brought 10 cents, is about as good
evidence as anybody could want that
none of the smaller crops should have
brought less than that sum. The
trouble heretofore has been due more
largely to artificial depression than to
anything else, and we have a belief
that if it is ever possible to get cot
ton squarely on it's merits the price OF
10 cents a pound will never be heard
of again. The figures will be higher
than that.

Hill district, died in a hospital in Sa-

Evidence Against Mills.
Blacksburg special Of Thursday to
News and Courier: The town Is quiet
and all talk of violence has subsided
The attorneys for the state, Messrs
Butler and Osborne, are hard at work
collecting evidence, and stated to the
correspondent Of the News and Cou-
rfer that they had already enough to
bring in a clear premeditated case OF
murder and blackmail against Mills.
A number Of witnesses have already
been summoned.
Cattle Feeding.
It Will be remembered that Captain
w. L. Roddey and several other cit
izens of Rock Hill, have been making
experiments for some time past feed
ing beef cattle through the winter.
Captain Roddey sold his few weeks
ago, being prompted to dispose Of them
at that time principally because OF the
necessity Of turning the attention OF
his labor to his farming operations.
A few questions developed the fact
that the captain ventured on the
experiment originally for the pur-
pose of helping to determine
whether the idea was practicable from
standpoint of profit. He said that he
felt that he would be satisfied II he
made the manure from the cattle clear
above all expenses; but he was not
yet able to say certainly whether or
not he had succeed in this. AS to
whether he will pursued the matter
further will depend upon future de-
yelopments.

DOG AGENT FOR CHARITY.
Some Railroad Animals Collect $500
In Year.

Among the different funds estab-
lished by the Great Western Railway
company for the benefit Of their en-
ployees, the "widows and orphans
fund" has become familiar to the
travelling public through the instru-
mentality of the company's collect
inc dogs. The sum collected by the
dogs amount to between 5000 and $500
per annum, and provides enough to
meet the assistance given by the instl-
tuition to about twenty-five widows
out Of about 1900 who are dependent
on the fund. Some of the dogs earn as
much as 30 pounds or 40 pounds a
year; others are not so successful. A
great deal depends upon the charac-
teristics Of the animal and much upon
the way in which it is train
ed. The most famous Of the Great
Western railway collecting dogs, says
the Great Western Railway Magazine,
was undoubtedly Tim Of Paddington,
which collected at that station for
number Of years. He has been dead

q few years now, but his preserved
remains are to be seen in a glass case
on the principal departure platform.
where he continues to appeal to the
public Oh behalf OF the widows and
orphans. In May, 1900, he was by
specia! command Of the late Queen
Victoria honored by presentation to
her majesty at Paddington Station,
and in February, 1901. he was SIM
ilarly honored by a presentation to
his Majesty King Edward VII. He
has earned for the fund considerably
more than 1000 pounds.
Another collecting dog-Im-was
brought to Slough Station when few
weeks old. He was ike a ball Of
wool and could be put into ones
pocket. He was very carefully trained.
The first thing taught him was to
get over the steps Of the foot-bridge.
and he never afterward once crossed
the metals. He commenced collect
inc when about four months old. At
ter time he wa taught to bark when
he received a coin, which little re-
coenition caused a great deal Of
amusement to his numerous patrons.
One Sunday hospital parade was
organized at Southall, and Jim was
taken there to collect. When his box
es were opened they were found to
contain 265 coins. Considering that
he gave bark for each one, this must
be regarded as a good afternoon s
