Although delayed an hour by the

IN the death of Judge Charles G..
Dantzler, South Carolina has sustain
ed a loss, the full extent Of which is
to be most appreciated by those who
knew him best. OF him, it can be
said that while endowed with all the
noble qualities Of character and mind
that nature ever gives to her favorites,
he had the further advantage of in
struction under such men as Col. Cow
ard and DR.. Carlisle, and he went into
the law and on the bench a credit to
them both. AS a lawyer, he would
stoop to nothing dirty. He saw to it
that his clients got their legal rights;
but he would never permit himself to
become an accessory to crime. On the
bench he stood squarely for law and
Justice and was unwilling to put up
for an instant with any of the sharp
practices that have become more or
less common. He never allowed him
self to take either side of a contro-
versy; but represented only the law.
Personally, he was a most agreeaDle
gentleman with whom 1t was de-
light to associate. There were few like
him. but many have been inspired to
emulate his example. Just why
the Almighty should call away such
men in the height of their usefulness.
cannot be explained; but to lose them
when the state is so badly in need or
them, seems hard.

The C.. C. e. O.

Although most people along the line
Of the G. c. e. O. railroad are at a
high pitch of enthusiasm over the
tremendous development that it is sure
to occasion, there are some who are
unable to see where the new line is to
prove especially useful to South Car
Olina.
There is very little up i'm those
mountains that they can haul down
here" said a prominent business man
of Spartanburg, discussing the matter
with the writer, "and we have nothing
to send them in return. They can
bring their coal down this way; but
their cars will have to go back empty,
and a railroad cannot show up to
the best advantage, unless it can keep
it's cars loaded both ways" This gen.
tleman went on to say too, that there
is very little probability of considerable
development in the mountain country,
for the reason that there are no pub
lie roads for the people to get about
over and no hope of such roads ever
being constructed.
OF course, we are aware that there
are two sides to every question: but
this is the first time we have ever heard
a suggestion of such a pessimistic view
with regard to q project like this, and
although we have the highest respect
for the business ability of the gentle
man who expressed that view, he
having played his full part in the
building of Spartanburg, from a small
village to its present almost metropoli-
tan pretensions, we are inclined to
think that he is mistaken.
That the G.. G. q q. is primarily a
coal road. there is no question: but
as important as will be its task Of
carrying a never ending stream of coal
from the Virginia mines to Charleston
To he distributed to the commerce of
the world, we think we can see the de-
velOpment of functions no less import
ant. The road lacks good deal of
completion yet: but when it has been
carried from Spartanburg to Charleston
on the one end and from Dante To the
Ohio river on the other end, the pos
sbiities of the future are very much
broader.
In the first place, the mountain
country through which the road runs
is much more important than people
from this side are able to appreciate
through the train windows. 1t is not
as thickly settled as the Piedmont Sec
ton of South Carolina, perhaps: but
there are a great many people up there.

road facilities To develop them to ten
