turned from Baltimore, where he

exercises and in which he took pro-
mi1ent part. His last regular as
signment was as editor Of the Morn
inc Star. Of New Orleans, though he

COAST LINE FAIR.
A. G. L. will Give to South Carolina
Same Rates Adopted in North
Carolina.
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
Columbia, January 13.-Mr. Alex
anier Hamilton, Of Petersburg, Va,
first vice president and general coun-
sal of the Atlantic Coast Line, ae-
companied by Mr.. P. A. Wilcox, of
Florence, state counsel for the same
company. held a conference this af-
tern,on in the Office If tha governor
with Governor Ansal ard 1t men,
bers Of the railroad commission. At
tor1ey General Lyon, was also present
at tae request Of ;he governor.
MI. Hamilton, who did the talking
for the railroad company, did not o.
fer any definite pT1n1i>c as IL reduc-
ton il rates. but ntentel himself
with saying thct whatever rates are
put into effect by the road in North
Carr..ina either by vc1'nary agree
meit CT by compu7s:cr. wot;:l be Civ
en- South Carolin".
Mr.. Hamilton in beginning review
ed the rronr-esS Of the railroad rate
leeisl l?tl"n a1i LITIGATION il the south
ern states and explained in detail the
agreements settled on in the states Of
Alabama. Georgia and North Car
olina. and the situation in Virginia,
where conditions at this tine are diff
ferent from tae conditions in the
other states. 19e said that the only
reason The Coast Line had :-ct agreed
fully to the proposition made by
Governor Glenn is that tie PROPOSE
ton includes an agreement as to in
ter-state rates. and the Coast Line
does not think it proper to enter into
any agreement as to interstate rates
unless it mas the sanction Of the in
ter-state commerce commission. He
did not see any reason, however, why
the same Interstate rates proposed
by the Southern should not be put in
to erect by the Atlantic Coast Line,
and if the schedule of rates proposed
is put into effect in North Carolina
for II months the Coast Line would
do the same in South Carolina.
Governor Ansel asked Mr.. Hamil-
ton what date he proposed to put
these rates into effect, and Mr.. Hamil-
ton replied that he thought it could
be done by April 1st. Mr.. Hamilton
referred to the fact that the railroad
commission in this state has the pow
or under the law to fix the rates, pro-
viding they do not fix a rate higher
than tnree cents mile, and he
thought it could be left to the COM
mission to say whether the PROPOSE
tion made by the Atlantic Coast Line
was reasonable or not. The rates
would be given a trial Of one year,
if the Coast Line carries out its in
tentions, as shorter time than that
would not give fair test.
