CHICAGO. January 8.-The splendid
system of railways, which has within a
few years grown from insigni6cance to
national Importance in bringing Chi
cago and the cities Of the Southeast,
South and Southwest into close and
intimate business relations, has now,
in the completion of the Louisville,
New Albany 4 Chicago railway, from
Louisville to Chicago, secured a most
splendid acquisition. The inaugura-
tiou of through trains between Louis
vile and Chicago will be announced
here Monday, and Mr.. Murray Kellar,
General Passenger Agent of the road
has been in the city for few days
consummating arrangements for the
running of trains. The first train from
this city will leave the Union depot of
the L., N. A. x G. and the Western
Indiana railways, at Twelfth street and
Fourth avenue, on Monday at $40
am. 1t will reach Louisville at 9:45
pm. of the same day, thus shortening
the time between the two cities on
day trains considerably over an hour.
The entire equipment for the passen-
ger trains is new and of the most ele-
CANT and expensive character. Until
everything is in ship shape, only day
trains will be run. These will consist
of elegant passenger cars, with train
service Of an unexceptional character.
Just as soon as the new reclining-chair
cars can bessecured from the shops
where they are being built, they will
be added to these day trains, which
the management intend making, in
every respect, the finest that ever run
between Chicago and the South.
Night trains in either direction will
be put on the road between the Goth
and the 25th of the present month.
This line will thus constitute the only
through line between this city and
Louisville, and will avoid the vexa-
tious delays which have hitherto ex-
listed in the transfer of passengers,
baggage, mail, etc.
The opening of this line also will
inaugurate an important reduction of
fares from Chicago to different points
South, as follows:

WASHINGTON, January 8.-Repre-
sentative Moore, of Tennessee, said
tonight: I'VE shall make consider
able inroads into the Democratic half
ofour delegation is if we do not carry
every district in theState next election,
The Liberal movement is growing in
Tennessee, as in all Southern States,
and will soon make its strength
known. We have recently received
propositions from the State credit
Democrats, which we shall probably
accept. They offer to join us, to vote
the Republican ticket, and do not ask
anything of us except decent treat
ment. With their assistance | think
we shall carry nearly. every district in
the State, as Tennessee is, you know,
naturally Republican State. The
recognition and support which l feel
sure this administration will give the
Republican party, will win every time.
That is what is wanted in every
Southern State, the assurance that
the administration will encourage
a liberal movement. The ten Re
publican members from the South tell
me that that is exactly the position in
which the administration stands, land
that as soon as the liberal men of the
South get to understand this they will
be ready to join the Liberal move
ment. The whole South is ripe for it
to-day. In some States, az in Ala
bama, the people are waiting for a
leader. In others they are waiting for
a declaration from the President. In
others, as in Tennessee, they are or.
ganizing for victory"

Stock Law Figures.

Letter to Augusta Chronicle from this
State: cat tho date tho last census was
taken the law was in operation in seven
counties. In those counties there were 3I,907
mich cows and in tho entire State l30, 1923.
The whole nu.nbcr Of pounds Of butter mado
was 3,l0G,S5l. OF this amcunt the counties
where tho law was in forco produced l4G7,-
5S7 puunds. l6.02G pounds Of cheese was
made ON the farms and 0.G7S Of it was made
in the stock law counties, 257, 1876 gallons of
milk wcro sold or sent to tho factory and tho
stock law counties sold 0, 1885 gallons. Yau-
ing tho milk at forty cents per gallon. the
butter ut thirty cents per pound and tho
yield Tor tho State from these sales amounts
to SloG6.7 .74ll0 and Of this amount the
stock law ccuntics received SAT-. l53 so. So
that with less than ono fourth of tho milch
COWS owned in tho State, the seven stock law
counties received nearly SO per cent. Of the
value Of milk, butter and cheese sold and
produced in thirty"three counties. Perhaps
the most convincing proof Of the benefits Of
the law, in this respect, is shown by COM
parison between tho counties Of Anderson
and Barnwcll. In tho first named tho law
has been in operation since 1877, tho latter
county had not adopted it until its passage
nt the last session of the Legislature. An
derson has 1914 mich COWS, which yielded
264 Ia pounds Of butter. Barnwcll had
G,2S5 cows, yielding 3S. l05 pounds-showing
that Bnrnwcll, which is tho largest corn pro.

Voting Away the Tax Payers
Money,

We haye becn struck with amazement to notice
the way in which the Legislature of South
Carolina is voting away the peoples money.
First, they appropriated $4,000 for the State
University, next $4,000 for tho State militia
and now comes $4,000 for the Citadel Academy
in Understanding $4,000 for these nsti-
tutions! We are emphatioally and solemnly
opposed to oil Of these appropriations just at
this time. We are not in condition financially
to mako this lavish expenditure of money. In
tho first place the State University is q perfect
failure in the fact that 1t scarcely has student
within its walls outside Of Rchland county;
besides wo arc not in favor of establishing four
or five professorships at q salary Of $4,000 or
moro per year just TO accommodate few
broken down aristocrats who think tho State
owes them living and they must DO kept up
at tho expense Of tho public. Next comes the
appropriation for tho militia Of tho State.
What earthly uso have We for tho militia of tho
State, much less on appropriation of money for
its use? It always was and will ever continue
to bo big humbug and farce. Yet We suppose
wo must have offices to fill and money voted to
maintain standing army in times of profound
peace. We aro bitterly opposed 10 this militia
business and The $4,000 appropriated for its
maintenance and equipment will not be paid by
tho tax payers without n protest. AS to tho
Citadel Academy We think the appropriation of
$4,000 10 re open this institution is unwise
and inopportunc. Some more poor fellows, wc
imagine, want places, to be fed at the public
crib We cannot afford to foster this institution
just now at the expense Of the tax payers Of
tho State. In conclusion, while the Legislature
is so liberal in its bestowal Of large sums of
money upon these institutions, We would like 10
ask in all seriousness and earncstncss what is it
doing or going to do TO educate the great mass
Of our people? Not one mill has it added to the
tax levy for this purpose.
