Last Fighting at %Appomattox.

The Petersburg Index-Appeal says
that the Charlotte Observer cannot pos
sibly prove that North Carolina troops
did the last fighting at Appomattox, and
adds:
"The writer of this paragraph was
on the spot, and knows what he is talk
ing about. The first fighting, as well
as the last fighting, at Appomattox was
done by Hampton's Legion, mounted
infantry, under command of Lieut.. Col.
R. B. Arnold, Brig. Gen. NJ. w. Gary
being present and participating. In
fact, Gen. Gary ordered the charge un-
der a misrepresentation, and was in
formed of the surrender of Gen. Lee
in the midst of the charge. There are
members of the Hampton Legion now
living in Charleston Stephen Elliott
WEIGH, Frank Taylor and others-who
know this to be true, and they ought
to put the fact on permanent record"
The writer Of this paragraph is
Dick Barham, as he is called by his
old comrades-in-arms, the very capable
editor of the Petersburg newspaper.

Had a Personal Difficulty.

Special Agent w. G. Moore, of the
South Carolina Division of the Farmers
Union, became involved in a personal
difficulty yesterday afternoon, in his
offices in the Vickers-Cauble building,
with several out of town men. Mr..
Moore was severely bruised about the
face. The fight caused a considerable
amount of excitement in the building.
There was no warrant sworn out by
Moore, however. 1t is understood that
he will consider this later. The police
did not take up the matter at the time,
but the names of a number of men
were placed in their hands, and arrests
may follow.
The cause of the fight was purely
from a personal difference over a bust
ness matter, and unfortunately went
too far. 1t is said hat the lie was
passed, and that this Immediately pre-
coded the blows. All was over in a
few moments, and everything was Sc
rene about the office.

ROAD TO
REDUCE ITS RATES
After First OF April Straight Fares on
This Road Will be Two and
Half Cents.

Columbia, Jan. 3.-South Carolina
will get the benefit, so far as the South
ern Railway is concerned, of the reduc-
ton in rates made by legislative enact
ment in other States of the South, but
without the turmoil of legislative agita-
ton and without the expense of pro-
longed litigation.
President w. W. Finley, of the South
ern Rail way, at a conference in the
Governors office today, stated that on
April /, 1908, the Southern Railway
would put into effect in South Carolina
the following rates:
For straight tickets, % cents per
mile.
For family mileage books, 81 cents
per mile.
For 1, 0OO-mile and 2.OOo-mile mileage
books, 2 cents per mile.
The conference was attended by Gov
ernor Ansel, Attorney General Lyon,
Chairman Caughman, of the railroad
commission, and Commissioners Sullivan
and Earle on the part of the State, and
by President Finley, Vice President
Culp, General Counsel Thorn and Divi-
sion Counsel Abney on the part of the
Southern Railway. The conference was
held in the office of the Governor and
was open, being attended by the news
paper men.
Mr.. Finley, in a conversational way,
put the proposition of the Southern be-
fore the Governor, explaining as he
went along the reasons for the different
rates and the reasons governing the
railroad in makingthis proposition. He
explained that the Southern on account
of the fairness with which South Caro-
lima had treated the railroads had a
disposition to give the State the benefit
of the reduced rates, and consequently
the Southern intends, without compul-
sion, to put into effect the rates which
it has proposed as a compromise in
North Carolina, Georgia and Alabama.
He felt assured that the agreement en-
tered into would be made effective in
these States, and perhaps in Virginia
also. The same. treatment promised
South Carolina would be given Tennes-
see, which has also been liberal in the
matter of legislation.

caused so much damage In various
parts OF the Arkansas Valley, and
only lost part Of one bridge. This
particular bridge Is located on Tim
pas creek, thirteen miles west OF La
Junta. 1t was put out Of business
previous to the big rain of last Sum
day night, a seventy.foot span having
been broken down while herd of
horses was passing over It. When the
county commissioners went out to in
vestigate the extent of the breakdown
and the best way to repair the damage
they found that what remained OF the
bridge had left its m,orings and gone
down the creek on the crest OF the
raging flood. The present location of
the remains has not yet been discov.

bridge is couple of -abuttments

FLOOD LOSSES
G Lamar Register.

From the Lamar Register.
The river Is going down now suf-
ficiently so that some idea o. the
losses sustained by the public along
the river can be approximated to
some extent. The ranches along the
river are the heaviest losers, all
suffering 10 proportion to their size.
The alfalfa crops were fine and all
stacked aud most OF them ruined by
the flood. There were also large
stacks of fine alfalfa seed crop that
were destroyed, and much pasture
ruined. The loss In live stock was
also quite heavy, and u number Of the
farms had quite large crops Of grain.
Many buildings were wished away,
and the total lJss In this line will foot
up an Immense figure. The damage
to the county bridges at Lamar,
Morse and Carlton will probably cost
nearly $4,000 to replace, and 1t is not
known yet whether those at Granada
and Holly were injured or not. The
railroad, OF course, was the heaviest
loser and their trains will probably be
tied up until Friday. A large section
of the Arkansas Valley r. r. nridge
north of Lamar IL out and good
many miles of track and embankments
are wushed out. There are also sever
al washouts on the branch line, and q
train ditched at McClave. Altogether
the heavy rainfall has levied loss on
the property Of this section greater
than IL can possibly benefit them,
coming 70 late In the season.
