All these excursionsmean an immense expenditure ofoutside of themoney, to say nothing of lost tyme tothose going on them, and the drain onthe pockets of the people has been @heavy one.The railroads have encouraged theseexcurs~ons, as their business has beenlargely increased thereby. Very lowrates have prevailed in order to inducemore pecpl* to patronize them. Therailroad authorities may not view it inthis light, but in the opinion of theRerLECTOR these excursions do moreto enthuse the demand for lower pas |senger fares than any other meansthat could be devised. The people geta taste of cheap travel, and it putsthem to asking, if the rulroads canxaul people at such low rates on ex-cursions and make big money at it,why cannot regular passenger fares bemade lower?There is scmething in this, aad therailroad authorities need not be sur-prised if the excursion mania createssuch a clamor for lower passenger ratesthat they are forced to accede to it.""""A Crrious South Carolina Case.Yesterday afternoon at the regulardinm, hour at the Windsor Hotel Mr,Boyce R.
