Mannina and the Rules.-Since the


recent Democratic convention, Hon.
Richard |. Manning, has been severely
criticised because of his attitude as to
the rules. Mr.. Manning is accused of
having tried to be on both sides of the
question at the same time. Not long
ago he gave out the following state
ment:
Il was not in the hail." said Mr..
Manning, when the vote was put to
table the minority report of the COM
mittee. Had l been present l would
have voted to table this report and then
would have waited to ask that the
changes be made in the majority re-
port in conformity with the views | eX-
Il stated before the convention my
position as follows:
The question of supreme import
ance before the state is the matter of
primary reform. Ii is absolutely neces-
Sarv that when an election is held
among the white people Of this state,
the result, as declared, must carry with
il the conviction that the will of the
people has been independently express
ed and honestly counted. We are in Il
dangerous poSition--for if such effec-
tive reform is not made thousands of
our people will not participate in the
primary election. On the other hand If
drastic action is taken | fear a split in
the party may result.
Il do not favor the change i'm the
time Of residence required in the ma
jority report, but favor reducing the
time for reSdece in the county from
one year To six months.
"'On the matter of personal enroll
ment, | do not personally favor the ma
iority plan, but, recognizing the fact
that differences Of opinion exist on what
should be done, and what We are all
here To accomplish Il definite object,
that we have to give and take, | will
vote for the majority plan for primary
reform
The reason | favored reducing the
time for residence in the county To sin
months was that 50 many farmers
change their location from one county
to another. and this provision of one
years residence in Il county would de-
prive may who are otherwise entitled

SOUTHERN LINES
LOSE MILLIONS
SAYS T|[LMAN
Similar Plans as Used in Vari-
Gus New Haven Deals Are
Put Through and Investors
Reap Rich Harvest.

WASHINGTON, April e-That the
Southern railway system has been
"milked" to an amount aggregating
S50,00O,OOO, after the fashion OF the
wrecking Of the New Haven railroad.
is the charge made in letter read in
the senate by Sen. Tillman of South
Carolina. Wednesday afternoon.
This letter. written by b. L. Dulaney
of Bristol, Tenn. also charges that the
Southern, he Norfolk and Western
and other southern roads are being
used as instruments to destroy private
interests, especially some of the indie
pendent coal companies in the terri
tory tributary to the Southern rail-
way system.
This was read by Sen. Tillman to
support his charge that the Southern
railway is discriminating against the
South Atlantic perth through secret
rate making and other devices. Du-
laney is a coal operator. He charges
that through exorbitant rates from the
mines TO southern ports and reasona-
bic rates TO the north, the group of
financiers who dominate the Southern
railway have been Systematically
lcoting that road to the advantage OF
other northern roads owned by the
same group.
Operators Uncertain.
II believe that ii is a conservative
estimate" writes Dulaney, Ito say
that the mines from Virginia to Ala
bama reached directly by the South
ern railway could furnish coal now at
the rate of 1000, 600 tons per annum
for tidewater business and this tom
mage could be increased at an enor-
nous rate if the operators were only
certain of their position.
This would increase the gross rev.
enues of the Southern railway by $14,
600. 200. assuming that the tidewater
rate OF S1.40 would be put in. and
when you add TO the freight item the
value of the coal itself at low esti-
mate the amount would be $4,000
900 annually that would remain in the
territory served by the Southern rail-
way.
II believe that a thorough investi-
cation will show that the Southern
railway has been the dumping ground
for the sale of other railroads at un-
reasonable profits by the friends of
the business associates of some of the
directors. L have personal knowledge
of the sale OF the Virginia and South
western railway by Henry K. McHarg
at practically six times what it cost
him or his company when the South
ern railway could just as we'll have
bought it directly and saved the five
millions. | believe that an investiga-
ton will show that such transactions
amounting to probably $50,000,00O or
more have taken place since the con-
II oil by the present financiers."
