THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.
Several weeks ago, number of the
citizens of this community filed q COM
plant with the Railroad Commissioners
of South Carolina, as against the North
western Railway.
This complaint set out in substance,
that the length of the aforesaid Rail
way is more than forty miles, that the
patrons of said road are refused pas
seneer service and schedule, that the
depot facilities are entirely inadequate
and unsatisfactory, that the freight
rates are excessive.
Notice has been received here to the
effect that the aforesaid Commission
ers will visit the town Of Sumlnerton
on the fifth day of September, to in
vestigate the conditions as embodied in
said complaint.
These officials propose to come to
Summerton from Sumter on special
train, to be supplied doubtless by the
president of the Northwestern and this
despite the fact that the regular train,
on which we common folk forsooth
must ride, reaches here from Columbia
by way OF Wilson Mill at ten O'Clock.
a. m.
To speak frankly upon the subject,
we believe the people OF Summerton
would prefer that the Commissioners
remain in Columbia, especially if they
desire Or expect the courtesy of this
community, unless these alleged SER
wants of the people are willing to ac-
cept the same railway service to which
the citizers of this section are accus-
toned, FOR the very evident reason that
the roadbed from Summerton to Sum-
ter is the better portion OF the road and
the coming on special train will blind
the Commissioner as to the facts and
conditions complained of. 1t is not the
purpose of this paper at this writing to
discuss the merit of the aforesaid COM
plant, but in behalf of the people and
town of Summerton we demand a
thorough investigation Of the entire
operation of the Northwestern Railway
and a prompt remedy of the alleged
wrongs, il. such there be.

An OLD Runco Gnme.

c. S. Mast, who gives his address
as Wenatchee, was swindled yesterday
morning out of S25 by two bunco men,
one Of whom represented that he was
an officer, says Seattle dispatch
Mast was standing at the corner of
First avenue and Pine street when q
stranger came up and engaged him in
conversation. They talked together
for a while, when a second man ap-
peared, and representing himself to be
a detective, made a bluff at putting the
first man under arrest.
The bogus detective started away
with his prisoner, but returned and
said that he would have to take Mast
also because he was found in the first
mans company.
Mast protested that he was innocent
of any wrong doing and begged to be
released. The man impersonating an
officer said If Mast had money he
could secure his release. The latter
went into his pockets and produced
y35, paid it over and was released
The detective" to make the play
good, walked off with his pal, the
supposed prisoner. Mast thought it all
over and after It was too late to catch
the schemers, came to the conclusion
that he had been buncoed. Then he
told his story to Patrolman Alvey.

LAMB MARKET FALLS.
Break of so Cents Per 100 in Chicago
Markets.

The Chicago Livestock World Of
Saturday. gives the following account
of the close of last weeks lamb mar
ket in Chicago;
Lambs were hit hard last week.
only the good ones-the real good
escaped a half dollar break. For
choice natives 1926 was paid, but
even the eight cent kind was scarce.
While a good many sold at $725 "a
7.75 early. the market developed dis
couraging phases as the day advanced.
Killers were out after cheaper NUT
ton and succeeded in getting 1t. They
hung off early in the season, merely
skimming off the cream and the sub
sequent decentralization was severe.
Sellers claimed late in the day that
they had been literally forced to part
with yesterdays 81 lambs at S6.25.
Even the pretty good ones were a
quarter to the bad and the $SsS,25
contingent was gilt-edged.
Quotably the market was weak to
half a dollar lower, sheep suffering
least. Heavy ewes We're swatted bad
ly. The $40 kind early in the week,
when everything was sheep and
weight was not a factor, sold late at
a nickel In this respect the market
was very uneven, heavy, the stock
making $5.35 early, but the seller con-
graduated himself that they were not
in his possession late in the day.

GRAZING ON RESERVES,
Restrictions VIII Not he Imposed This
Year.

The secretary of agriculture has IS
sued an order directing that no re-
strictions be placed upon the grazing
of stock within new forest reserves
that have been or may be created TINS
year. says Washington dispatch.
There has been considerable concern
among the sheep and cattlemen of the
west on account of the creation OF new
reserves which include considerable
areas of what has heretofore been
public range.
Many letters received by the de-
partment indicate that stockmen rear
that they are to be deprived OF lhelr
range on short notice. In justice 10
these stock interests, Secretary wilson
on recommendation of the forestry
bureau decided to impose no res'ric-
tions within the new reserve TINS
summer.
However, Investigations are now pc
ing made to determine how many
sheep and cattle may safely be ADMIT
ted, and, based on these Investigations
restrictions will be imposed next year.
and grazing season will be set for each
individual reserve to be regulated py
climatic and range conditions. rms
order applies to the new reserves III
