Railroad conference debates segregated cars and freight rates
Officials from state railroad commissioners and the conference meet in Columbia to discuss separate passenger accommodations by race, shared car space, and the feasibility of separating whites and colored passengers. They deem separate cars costly and impractical, propose a plan to improve service, and defer final action on local joint rates and fertilizer rates from Charleston until future approval. The article also notes a separate report from The Richmond Republican on widespread crop failures and rising food prices in Europe and North America.
