Garris will Improve Rates.

Hon. C.. W. GarriS, chairman of the
State board of railroad commissioners,
held a conference to-day with Manager
81. R. Jackson, of the Charleston Freight
Bureau, and as a result, the freight rates
will be further amended and the business
of Charleston improved.
There has been much dissatisfaction
with the railroads classification of the
rates on shipments of excelsior. The rail-
roads have made carload consist of co.,
600 pounds, and the merchants have con-
tended that this was unreasonable for this
amount of excelsior could not be loaded
in a car. The matter was placed in Mana
ger Jackson's hands and he had much
correspondence with the commissioners
on the subject The matter was fully
gone over by Chairman Garris to-day and
he determined that the position of the
Charleston complainants was right and
load to 10000 pounds. This announce
ment will give much satisfaction among
the merchants who are interested.
Another important matter which was
considered at some length was the read
justment of the rates on the Charleston
Savannah division of the Atlantic Coast
Line. The State law provides that the
same rates must be charged on line in
both directions, and the rates on the
Savannah division are in excess of those
running north. The freight bureau con-
seauently has the dead line on the rail-
road and upon the presentation of the
case to Chairman Garris he promised
Manager Jackson to give the matter i'm
mediate attention and adjust the rates
within the next thirty days.
The question of the rate on starch is also
of some importance to Charleston at this
time and Chairman Garris will give his
attention to the matter with view of Civ
ino Charleston as favorable rates as pos
sible.
chairman Garris has given an attentive
ear to Charleston's complaints and griev
ances of the railroads unjust discrimina-
tions and the fact that many of these
wrongs have been righted is largely due
to his efforts He has announced on
several occasions that he is friend of
Charleston and he desires to promote her
commerce and he has ruled fayorably to-
wards this city on several of the COM
plants which have lately been carried up
to him-Charleston Evening Post, May

His Last HOPE Realized.

From the Sentinel, Gebo, Nom.
In the first opening of Oklahoma to set
tiers in 1889, the editor of this paper was
among the seekers after fortune who made
the big race one fine day in April. During
his travelling and afterwards his camping
upon his claim, he encountered much bad
weather, which, together with the heat.
gave him severe diarrhea which seemed
almost impossible to check, and in June
the case became so bad he expected to die.
Ole day one of his neighbors brought him
one bottle of Chamberlain collie, cholera
and diarrhea remedy as last hope. A
big dose was given him while he was roll
ing on the ground in agony, and in few
minutes the dose was repeated. The good
effect of the medicine was soon noticed
and within an hour the patient was taking
his first sound sleep for fortnight. That
little bottle worked complete cure, and
he cannot help but feel grateful. The
season for bowel disorders being at hand
suggests this. Sold by Bamberg Pharmacy
