MOLD CONFERENCE.
CONTINUED from First Page.):

in Mr.. Foreacre's private car called
on me and asked for a hearing on.
the matters as contained in my let
ter above.
The following gentlemen were
present in behalf of Edgefeld, Mr..
Lovic Minis, MIR. E. j. Minis, Mr..
l.. s. Kernaghan, Mr.. ". A. Taylor
and myself. Mr.. Foreacre as spokes-
man for the railroad explained very
satisfactory as to the connection at
Trenton with No. 81 from the
north, that he was forced to keep
an extra engine in or uear Aiken to
protect the tourist travel in case of;
failure Of regular engine on Aiken,
and Edgefeld branch, and to take
up immediate connection with this
train to Edgeield, would impose
hardship, and extra expense, not
justified 10y the travel.
AS 10 our train No. ITO arriving
Edge6eld at p. ~, which has
been caused by freight work be-
tween Aiken and Trenton, he as
sured us that this practice would be
stopped, aud that this train would.
arrive as near Oh time as possible
in the future.
As to the freight from Augusta,
he also adjusted this matter very
satisfactory BY promising that
freight loaded lii Augusta on or be-
fore 5 O'clock, D. m, would reach
Edgeield by our 9:4o train the fol-
lowing morning, making delivery
to the merchants in less than l24
hours, against from So TO 4S hours
in th. past. This is quite an i'm
proyement in freight service, and
will make it possible for our mer-
chants'to receive cold storage or
perishable products by freight in
stead of the additional expense of
expressing this separately.
Mr.. Foreacre, as spokesman for
the railroad, talked very interesting
ly along the line of service and the
desire Of the Company to adjust any
and all differences of the patrons
and the road. When asked as regards
to the possibility of inducips the
Southern railroad to extend line to
Greenwood, he said the policy of
the Southern at present 10 to i'm
prove their holdings and not to
make any extentions until their
present holdings were up to a
standard. He compared the rail
road business with a general store.
The store has many things to sell,
while the railroad had only one
thing to, sell, that was SERVICE.
He and Mr.. McGhee talked very
interestingly as to the possibility of
Edgefeld inducing new settlers into
the county, as we'll as, having eli
mate equal to Aiken for the winter
tourists. Some classes Of which

NEW SHIP
BILL READY
Was Submitted to the House
Committee by the Ad-
ministration
APPROPRIATION
OF $50,000,000
This Is to Be Used in Mer-
chant Fleets Con-
struction

Washington, Dee. 3.--Creation of {
federal board with jurisdiction owe
deep water traffic, similar to that ex
ercsed over railroads by the interstate
commerce commission and appropriation
by Congress OF $50,O0o,000 for construc
tion Of merchant ships designed for use
as naval auxiliaries, are proposed in a
new shipping bill drafted after confer
ences between Secretaries McAdoo and
Redfeld, and submitted to Representa-
tive Alexander, chairman of the House
merchant marine committee. From this
draft will be developed the adminlstra-
ton shipping measure to take the place
| OF the one which failed of passage at
the last session of Congress after a
long and bitter fight.
The old bill contemplated a shipping
board with powers limited to control of
vessel.owning corporation, ifty-one
per cent of the capital stock of which
the government was to hold. The new
one provides for the idea of government
ownership OF stock in the event private
subscriptions are lacking. With the $50
100000 it is proposed that the govern
ment have built, in American yards if
possible, vessels having aggregate gross
tonnage of 100000 or 100000, to be
leased or sold to corporations the entire
stock of which would be offered for pop
ular subscription. All such contracts
would contain provision for making the
vessels available for naval use in time
of emergency.
Solicitor Thurman of the department
of commerce, who put the draft into le-
gal shape, explained that the naval fea.
ture had been made secondary in i'm
portanee. THE bill aims" he said, ito
provide a merchant marine and auxiliary,
not naval reserve"
The shipping board would be given
powers wide enough 10 require regular
and reliable service at equitable rates for
passengers and freight and TO prevent
pers. 1t would be authorized to act in
conjunction with the interstate commerce |
in arranging for through bills
IF lading between rail lines and steam
ship lines under the American flag. Aft.
II the new bill has been considered and l
'eyised by administration leaders in and /
nut of Congress IL will go to President
Wilson for final approval before il is in
in the House and Senate.
