Columbia, S. C., Aug. 28.—One <;>
~ .the most Interesting primaries in the
ir t(iy ot the I‘almejto state occur
rod today. There w’as opposition t. r
almost every state house ofi'.ce.

si.ond, but H'-s etc -t.on is j. r -.c
ttcally assured, as the later returns
will hardly cut down his majority.
For secretary of state McCewn
seems to be the favorite., but Ragin
is polling a large vote in the lower
of the state and it is thought to
be pushing him close.
Avery peculiar feature of the cam
paign was the fact that the rgce for
attorney general overshadowed that
of the gubernatorial contest, owing to
the fact that Senator Ben Tillman
took a prominent part, urging the de
feat of J. Fraser Lyon, who was the
leading spirit in the dispensary in
vestigatlou. There were two other
candidates, J. W. Ragsdale, who re
ceived the support of Senator Till
and L.eroy F. Yoemans, the pres
ent incumbent. Despite the fight ol
Senator Tillman upon him Lyons win
be elected by a good majority over
his two opponents.
Boyd seems certain of being elect
ed adjutant general a nd Jones has
a good lead over Walker for comp
troller general.
* race for railroad commissioner
was spirited up to the eleventh hour
and the finish is neck and neck be
tween Warton and Summersett.
The election passed off quietly ana
without' any disorder. Mncfn jpter
£S{ was centered in the result, how-,
ever, on acpunt of the growing oppo
sition to the dispensary.
Jp geppjs that the local option can
aidates have won all along, especially
where the fight was made strictly on
the issues of the dispensary and local
option. In the case of Lyons, who has
won tor attorney gene v ai, he was
bitterly opposed by Senator Tillman

Is M All Fay How if Is
Want to Fids on the
Railroads
ffIEUE ah so mnm
Bill Went Into Effect Yesterday and
the New Law Will be Rigidly
Enforced —Newspapers Are
Also Included.
With the last stroke of 12 o'clock
mid-night last night. Georgia, legeth
er with the rest of 1 h,- country, be
gan upon anew can se far as passes
and free transportation are concerned
and the death knell of special ; tivili
ges was sounded.
The great change was occasioned
tby the new rate bill of tin bit :r
stale commerce commission, which
went into effect midnight .Mohdai
night.
Conflicting as many of the new
bills may appear, according to tin
testimony of many railroad expert.;
there is no circumventing the fac.
that passes anti free transport at ion i. !
made unlawful under the provisions I
of tiie new bill. Incidentally the |
fact that both tile user of a pass a > i
well as the official of a railroad is j
suing the pass are subject to heavy
penalty under the law makes it cer
tain that there will be a certain ami
sudden stop in the request for passes.
Must Pay Reai Cash.
From now on the railroads will
have to pay in actual cash for what
ever advertising they may insert iu
the newspapers while those connected
with the newspapers from editor in
chief to cub reporter will pay for
their transportation just as the rest
of tile public.
The new law gives particular at
tention to this matter and states that
no passes, tickets or free transpor
tation may he grantod to newspapers
to he paid for in advertising. Up to
this time many of the newspaper:-
nave kept accounts with railroad:-; ana
have paid tor their transportation in
advertising. Settlements were math
monthly and it the railroads had used
-note advertising space than (hey han
granted transportation, the diilerenct
was paid in cash. On tin other ham:
it more transport a i ion had 'keen uso-i
by the renilroads than tin sum over
ling their advertising hill, this dii
ference was settl* and by the nows-papor
in cash.
Now oil this ir changed, Loth tltc
railroads aind the newspapers will
have lo pay for what they gs: in cot.
eiisli. exactly in the sum, w-ay a tin
)'est of the public.
That the railroads arc very much
disturbed by these conditions is t-.vi
dent. Tint sudden taking 'away ot
tile pass privilege means ihat. from
now on the business must he trans
acted on a regular business founda
tion. it means that where judges oi
the United States courts have b. en
issued annual passes for them solve -
and trip passes for the members oi
the family, letters must he wiittten -
or have been— calling in this priv
ilege and apoligi/.ing on tile grounds
that the railroads were in no way
responsible for the new 1 ill. hut on
the contrary were bitterly opposed to
its passage from (ho start.
It was also stated yesterday that
these letters calling for free passes
irom editors, judges, municipal stat--.
and federal officials, carried iili them
sincere regrets Ihat the new law nec
essitated the withdrawal of these pas
ses from those who had proved their
friendship to the railroads in many
ways for many years.
It was also reported that these let
ters called ati.cntioii to thw fact that
the law the penalty was the
same for the person using the free
pass in violation of the new act as it
was for the official or railroad using
it.

Macori People Will be Caught on

Trips to I%s City.
I!m M icon News of yesterday has
Hit- follow tig interesting story:.
' The- Natl Elizabeth arrived at her
wharf Saturday afternoon at t! oelock
from Brunswick with a cargo of gen
ial mcichandise for the merchants
of Macon amounting | 0 IfjO tons.
I iiis is the most successful trip
Uie Nan has made from every stand

roads had bought a box or two <n
axle grease and hired an able bodies
Afro-American at all ibridges so when
the Nan approached there would be
uo ten dollar- an-hour delays abo.nt
her getting through the draws.
“So pleasant and satisfactory was
the voyage thai Capt. Ashmore jmst
simply thought that he was nn a pleas
ure trip and enjoyed life on the river
to the fullest extent of I lie law
“ Will the Nan stop her trips be
tween Brunswick and Macon as soon
us the tirm for which she was leased
expires?
that'sf. he question that some folk
are putting forward now.
It is very unlikely Ihat the Nan
will go into a slate of innoxious dls
uel tides ss far as Macon is concern
'd when the period of the charter
expires The good boat has accom
plished too much to. 1.,, permitted to
go ofl this run and arrangements are
being made today to hold her on this

President Emmett Small is con

These men were tried on the charge
of drunkednese, which was made a
misdemeanor by the recent legislature
Previous to the passage of the bill
making It a misdemeanor there was
no law Tn Georgia to punish people
who got drunk outside of the limits
of a city. Then a man could drink
all he wanted to, go outside of the
city limits and raise as much distort
banco as lie desired and there was
no law to prosecute him. it was for
the protection of the country districts
that drunkeduess was made a misde

generally tried ip the municipal
