There Was a String to 1t.

1t wasn't dog fight, nor a runa-
way, nor some one stepping on a
banana peel that caused all that ex-
element and laughter on the square
this morning. Buck Howard thought
he had found big fat pocket-book on
the sidewalk, and he made dive
for it, but there was q string tied TO
It, and as It eluded his fingers and
disappeared in the doorway, be
looked around at the crowd, and then
remembered that he bad pressing
business at the court house.

Mr.. Robert f. Nichols, writing from

better water works, and is ahead Of
Hopkinsville in almost everything eA-

they have a splendid system there, auG
it only taxes the merchants 30 cents Il

Iaready pretty generally believed in
horse circles that Direct and Hal

Tennesseans will hang their heads
when these two cracks meet again.
Owners Of brood mares may not be
too careful about their mares just be-
fore and just after foaling. Do not
change the mare too suddenly from a
grain TO Il grass diet, as the colt will
be liable to scOurs. 1t is IL safe plan,
if the mare is running on grass, to con-
.inUe 10 feed some grain to her night
and morning. There is little nutri-
ment at present in the grass and UNI
less the mare has some grain she will
fall off rapidly under the persistent
draining Of her milk by the colt, and
jhe colt will not fatten and grow so
well either.

VIII have some measure before it calcu-
Iated 10 tame down the wrath of the people
on the question of rates
Ii the Railroad Commission wanted TO do
80 II could reduce rates within a month
without cost to the State that would ex.
ceed Sl00 The Traffic Association wants
10 see the Commissioners adopt the West
ern classification of freights for all the
railroads in the State. The Western
classification is standard. 1t is in use
Dy nearly all the railroads in the
country except the Southern Pacific. The
Santa Fe uses 1t in Southern California.
and the San Francisco and North Pacific
also uses 1t. but II Is too readily understood
by shippers to be in use on the Southern
racine. That road wants the classification
OF lrelghts so hay as TO make tie rates up-
CERTAIN, and 1t IAN then bring to bear the
tarin that leaves 10 per cent profit to the
shipper, taking all the rest itself, as In the
instance OF the potato rates, recently Illus
trated in The CALL.
After the classification had been intro
ouceo II would be easy enough for the Rail-
Ioao commissioners TO order the Southern
racine 10 put new reduced tariff into eff
fect; 1t is not at all likely that that tariff
could work any hardship to the railroad. IL
IL worked hardship to the people the Conn
mlssionerS could order a new tariff, and so
on until some satisfactory conclusion should
be reached.
But the Commissioners propose to "inyes-
tlgate, and sQuaDder the States money.
