MONDAY, DECEMBER 14 THUDS OF PEOPIE IRE KEENLY INTERESTED IN ACTION SOUTH CAROLINA COMMISSION ON THE i.-A. RATE NATTER Re-Hearing Will Be Continued in North Augusta on Wed nesday. Opponents of Increase Believe They Will Con vince the Commission. POINT OUT THAT MR. L. J. WILLIAMS’ FIGURES COULD NOT BE DISPUTED The Reasons They Give For Opposing Increase. Under Pro posed Increase Will be Eight Zones Between Augusta and Aiken. Testimony of Messrs, Jackson and League Looked Forward to With Interest. Thousands or people in Augusta and Aiken county, South Carolina, are intensely interested in the outcome of the re-hearing in the matter of the Augusta-Aiken line raising Its rates from one to two cents per mile, On Thursday night last the South Carolina railroad commission, after list ening to evidence all day, decided io have a session in North Augusta on Wednesday, Dec. 16th, which will be day after tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock, when the Augusta-Aiken Railway and Electric Corporation will In, asked to produce its books to show certain figures which are being sought for by Mr. L. J. Williams, Senator John F. Williams, Mayor Herbert B. Gyles and Mr. E, F. Brigham, representing interests opposed to the pro posed increase. When the decision was reached to comeM# North Augusta only Chairman Richards and Commissioner Hampton were present. Commis sioner Caughman having failed to attend either the afternoon or night session of last Thursday. He left Immediately after the morning session. It was with the understanding that the gentlemen opposing the In crease furnish Vice-President Pardee, of the railway company, with a list of the books desired so that they may be produced at the session here Wednesday. / The people of Augusta and those on the Aiken line feel very hopeful that the railroad commission will revoke Its order for the increase to go into effect on January first and decide that the Augusta-Aiken, under present conditions and In view of the service furnished, has no right to raise its rates at all. Mr. Williams’ Figures Correct. Attorneys opposing the Increase point out that the accuracy of Mr. 1,. J. Williams’ figures submitted before the commission could not be disputed and that the vice-president of the Au gusta-Aiken admitted, in almost every instance, that Mr. Williams was cor rect. It will be recalled that Mr. Wil liams shoved that the Harriman es tate received only $1,919,000 for the property and that now its total out standing liabilities amount to nearly $8,000,000, exclusive of the Stevens creek power development. If there was $1,000,000 mortgage outstanding when the properties were turned over to the new owners and over $1,000,000 expended for improvements the capi talization is even then about $4,000,- 000 in excess of what it should be, according to the attorneys opposing the increase. These attorneys dispute the asser tion of Mr, Pardee that the capitali zation of a road has nothing whatever to do with the rates and claim that the capitalization of the Aiken line, sepa rately, should be shown else there should be no increase even entertain ed. Mr. Pardee had stated that the road has cost up to date about $763,- 000, and when it earned $46,000 per year, $21,000 was to be charged to de preciation, leaving $25,000 to pay taxes and other expenses w r hich would mean between two and three per cent reve nue ..I $763,000. Propose Eight Zones. According to the plans of the Au gusta-Aiken officials there will be a 40-cent rate to Aiken, which will meet the competition of the Southern rail way. The new schedule submitted provides for eight zones as follows: First zone, Terminal building to To bin's; overlap to Whitlaw’s. Second zone, Tobin’s to Harley’s; overlap to power house. Third zone, Harley’s to Clearwater. Fourth zone, Clearwater to Langley. Fifth zone, Langley to Warrenvillo. Sixth zone, Warrenville to Sub-sta tion. Seventh zone, Sub-station to Mose ley’s Crossing. Eighth zone, Moseley’s Crossing to Aiken. Under this plan school children will be allowed a five-cent rate betwee.i Augusta and Belvedere. Mr. Pardee explained to the com mission, in submitting the above schedule, that while the railway com pany asked for an increase to two cents per mile, still it would be only about 1.6 cents per mile under the schedule submitted. As stated, Mr. Pardee contends that capitalization has nothing whatever to do with rate-making, that the Augus ta-Aiken line cost about $500,000, about $263,000 have been spent in improve ments and that the company deserves a better return than from two to three per cent on the investment. He says that since properties were bought In bulk there is no way to determine the exact capitalization of the Aiken line, separately. He says that a dividend had to be skipped several months be cause of the decreased earnings. He denies that the company is trying to make up losses in other departments by increasing the Augusta-Aiken fares. The schedule was attacked by Sena tor Williams, who said that in some of the short zones the railway com pany would be charging five cents per mile. The Argument Against the Increase. In short, the argument against the increase as submitted by Messrs. L. J. Williams, John F. Williams, H. E. Gyles, and E. F. Brfgham is as fol lows: The financial condition of the people alone the line does not warrant an increase now, even if there should be justification in normal times, which they do not admit. That the railway company makes no promise to better its service if the in crease is allowed. That the road it not an inter-urban line, is merely a street car line oper ating through a succession of small towns, which means that it is nothing more nor less than a suburban street car line. That if the railway company would come before the commission with the request that it raise its rates because it intended putting on a service like the Piedmont Northern lines, then there would be some justification for the increase. These lines operate elec tric train* with smoking compart ments, separate compartments for ne groes, have nice depots and waiting rooms, etc. That th* railway company fixed a rate of 25 cents to Aiken 12 years ago and the burden of proof is on the com pany to show that thia rate is not prof itable. The presumption is that the rate ii profitable, else it would not have been fixed. That the only way •Ao ehow whether the rate it a profit able one or not it to submit tho books of the company, which ought to con tain a statement of capitalization, etc. That the railway company refuse* to do like other roads in South Carolina and make a request for some cars to he taken off. It admits that if any cars were taken off th* traffic could riot be handled. the big financiers of New York have handled this Augusta-Aiken property in such a manner as to add millions to the liabilities, forcing the operators to squeeze every cent pos sible out of the properties to pay divi dends on stock that should never have been issued. That the Augusta-Aiken line is real ly a paying proposition and the request to raise the rates is caused by a de sire to add to the revenue from the Augusta-Aiken to make up deficits elsewhere. The above, briefly stated, are the allegations of those who ask that the increase be disallowed. Those opposing the increase claim that they have a clear case and that they believe the railroad commission will refuse to allow any increase for the reasons mentioned. A great deal of interest is centered in the hearing Wednesday and tha testimony of Messrs. Jas. U. Jackson and Jas. R. League, former vice-pres : - dent and former general manager of the Augusta-Aiken, respectively, wiil be listened to with the keenest inter est. These gentlemen will no doubt be able to throw a great deal of light on the question. brooklynllub mot TO TRAIN HERE However, There Are Other Clubs and It Is Believed Au gusta Will Land Some Major League Aggregation. The Brooklyn National League base ball club will not train in Augusta next spring, the option of this club on the ball park l»ere having expire I.

SEIVER A GOOD ONE Preached to a Large Con gregation Last Night on “Re gal Womanhood,” Occasion ing Complimentary Remarks Afterward. Music Extraordi narily Fine. Rev. Joseph R. Sevier, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, delivered from his pulpit Sunday evening a truly great sermon on "Regal Womanhood,” portraying the ideal woman from the varied viewpoints of life. The word ‘ideal," he said, seemed to describe woman, as she should be, better than anything. H read his text from Genesis 1:24-28 and 2:15-24 and Mark 16: 1-9. The church, although the weather was cold and damp and threatening rain, was well filled, seats in every part of the house being taken. Before the service the usual special ly beautiful musical program was ren dered, Mr. T. I. Hickman leading tho chorus choir, accompanied by a full orchestra. Judging from the program rendered Sunday night the First Pres byterian has a right to claim the best music of any church in the city. Dr. Sevier began his interesting ser mon by mentioning that woman was God's crowning work of creation; that unlike man she was not made from dust, but was taken from the side of man—the side nearest his heart; she is his helpmeet and should be his very inspiration. Of High Ideals, "She sould he a woman of high ideals and spotless purity,” continued the pastor, who then went into the details of the woman of the present time; how the awakening of the truth of what woman is came with the 19th century. The preacher said that Dr. David ™regg, the noted divine who spends his winters in Augusta usually, once was told by a member of his congre gation that there was one part of the Bible she could not possibly under stand, and that was where man is re ferred to as the head. Dr. Gregg re turned that that was easy to under stand saying that let it be true that man is the head but woman is the neck that joins the head to the body and turns the head in any direction. “Where there is a hero, there is surely a heroine.” said Dr. Sevier. "There is bound to be a great woman behind every great man,” and then recalled that there was Jochebed be hind Moses, Donietia behind Marcus Aurelius. Monica behind Augustine and others too numerous to name. Touching not briefly on the purity of woman, which he said was her pow er, the pastor advocated the disregard of all fashion in dress if the fashion called for immodest clothes. He then brought in with touching appropriate ness the story of the little ermine, that sacrifices its life rather than pass through a place of dirt and filth. This is the ideal woman, said Dr. Sevier, who values her purity as she does her life. Be Sincere. He pleaded' with the women listen ing to him to be sincere, and not to play at love—it is too sacred, he said. He then went into the woman's sphere, taking this subject up from threo standpoints: First, in business; next, in society; next, in the home, and last ly, in the church. A woman should always assert her noble womanhood, said the preacher, and then she would always command the utmost respect from any man; In business she is In a dangerous world, he said, and should guard herself care fully. "In society, even here in Augusta.” exclaimed Dr. Sevier, “there is need for reform Here is where the wmman has a great influence and it lies with in her power to elevate the plane.” In speaking of woman’s position In the home Dr. Sevier declared that no home could be made without a woman. “Man may build a palace, said the pas tor, "but only woman can make a home.” dry Was this year FOR THIS S. C. TOWN Atlsrva, Ga.—The Rev. John W. Ham, former pastor of the Atlanta Baptist Tabrt-nacle, brings from East Rend, S.

COMES TO SET SELF STRICT Former Augusta Supt. of Mails, E. W. Carroll Simply Having Record of Service Put Right. Inspectors Here at Work. Messrs. Emmons Rolfe, of Fort WoTth, Texas and Frank Frayser, of V\ ashington, D. C., postoffice inspec tors, are in Augusta investigating the government’s record of the retirement of Mr. E. W. Carroll, formerly of this city, now business manager of the Athens Herald, Athens, Ga. This in vestigation has come about at the so licititation of Mr. Carroll himself, who is desirous of having himself vindicat ed of ttie alleged "blackmarking’’ he got in the department. In 1910 Mr. Carroll was superintend ent of mails at the Augusta postoffice. Following the department’s refusal to confirm his nomination as assistant postmaster, made by the postmaster, T. D. Murphy, Mr. Carroll resigned The resignation was not accepted at Washington until after Mr. Carroll went to Washington himself and in sisted on its acceptance. It was then accepted only with the understanding that henceforth Mr. Carroll never he allowed to re-enter the post office ser vice. Doesn’t Know the “Why.” Mr. Carroll claims that he has never been informed as to the why of the government’s strict ruling with its ac ceptance of his resignation. He is now, at last, having the matter cleared with him, he hopes. At least, inspec tors are at work. Mr. Carroll states that reports were submitted to the department by in spectors, alleging that, he was active politically against Mr. 8. 15.- Vaughn, who at the time was postmaster here and was being eonsldered by his friends for r<«ppointment. Mr. Carroll, it is understood, de clares he committed no unhonorable acts and did nothing an honest, fair, straightforward employe shouldn't do. He states that the reports against him were biased and untrue, if they set out that he violated any law of the service, and that he was denied the right legally due him to answer any accusations made against him by the department. He states that if he had done anything against Mr. Vaughn tie should have at least been allowed the privilege to answer sueh charges. Mr. Carroll Improved Service. Today Mr. Carroll, through certain citizens of Augusta who are posted. Is having testimony taken by the inspec tors to show, It Is said, that when he cuime to the Augusta post office the service there under Mr. Vaughn was demoralized and in a depreciated state. It was through the persistent effortH of Mr. Carroll that the service was put at its high standard again. To do this he first had to protest and then resign. He had endeavored more than once, It is learned, to have the department In vestigate the local office as it was being conducted by Mr. Vaughn and was unsuccessful to have any steps Of Investigation taken. Mr. Carroll, It is learned, does not wish to re-enter the post office sr v|ce, hul he does want removed any part of the record the department has which casts reflections upon his integ rity as a fair up-right and lamest cit izen and employe of the government. Tie believes that he Is entitled to this. Mr. Carroll has many friends In Au gusta as well as everywhere he is known and their fullest sympathy in the matter goes out to him with the sineerest wishes that he may succeed in having the government see the sit oat ion in its true light.
