On or about February l a new rate sheet will become effective from points on the Ohio river Nashville, St. Louis, Mem phis and New Orleans, into the south east. The result will be a reduction of to 9 cents per 100 pounds in first-class rates from Nashville Cincinnati, Louis- vile, Evansville, St. Louis, Memphis and New Orleans to important centers in the southeast such as Atlanta, Augusta, An nston, Columbus and Macon.
 The reduction is 9 cents to Atlanta 4 cents to Augusta and cents to Macon. Proportionate decreases are provided on all classes of freight from and to the points named. This Is presumably one of the effects growing out of the rate ad justment reached between the railroads and the citizens committee that was appointed by the Mayor of Atlanta to peaceably end the controversy that grew out of action by the Georgia railroad commission.

STORY OF THE CLANSMAN.

The story of "The Clansman'
begins with the election of Nov
ember 20, 1867, in the village OF
Piedmont, South Carolina. The
motley crowd of negroes and
carpetbaggers has gathered in
the yard of the Cameron house.
The returns from the election
are brought in and the negroes
exult over the fact that they
have carried the election by a
large majority. William Pitt
Shrimp, a mite of a white man,
and as small in his principles as
in his stature, is elected COVER
nor, and Silas Lynch, an educa-
ted mulatto, as Lieutenant
Governor. Lynch controls
Shrimp through threats of ex-
posture, and so dominates the
state government. Stoneman,
the Radical leader, and secret
founder of the Black League, is
there in search of health. With
him is his daughter Elsie, and
they are boarding with DR.. Cam
eron, formerly a man of wealth.
Elsie, having nursed Ben Cam
eron during the war, has fallen
in love with him, and when Stone
man dicovers that the young
people love each other he offers
Ben the leadership of his party
in the state. Ben takes the offer
under consideration, as he thinks
that this may open the way for
him to best serve his people; but
the posting of a proclamation by
Stoneman announcing that the
United States troops were or
dered to uphold marriages be-
tween blacks and whites opens
his eyes. He tears the procla-
: nation into shreads and cast it
into the teeth of Stoneman and
Lynch.
The second act is laid in the
par1or of the Cameron house.
Lynch has ordered that the
place be sold for the excessive
taxes that have accumulated
during the year that has passed.
He intends to buy it and turn
the Camerons out. The auction
sale begins, and swarm of dirty
negroes crowd into the house
Elsie hears of what is happening
and comes in time to outbid
Lynch. Shrimp enters with his
colored troops, and, prompted

by Lynch, orders that the white
companies Of the state disband.
He demands the surrender OF
Ben's sword, but Ben threatens
to run him through. General
J Forrest, the grand wizard OF
the Ku K1ux Khan, is present
incognito, and he whispers to
Ben to submit, as there is a
better way. Shrimp taunts the
Camerons father and son, until
they utter bitter words, for which
they are placed under arrest
Shrimp then grandiloquently
announces to the assem- bled
blacks that they are the equal of
any white man. Old Nelse, the
faithful servant of the Camerons,
walks up to Shrimp and says:
us I your equal?" He is as.
ured that he is. Whereupon he
promptly knock down the COVER
nor, saying, "Take dat from
your equal den."
The first scene of the third
act is again in the yard of the
Cameron house. 1t is the thir-
teenth birthday of little Flora
Cameron. She is happy with
her gifts, playing in the garden.
Behind the hedge is seen the
sinking figure of Gus, the cap.
tain of the Backyard. Quickly
he disappears as Ben comes on
the scene. Ben tells Flora to
stay in the house. A pretty love
scene between Elsie and Ben
follows. Stoneman has told his
daughter that Ben is the leader
of the Khan. She begs him to
give up the Khan, but he refuses;
so that they say goodbye forever.
Flora in the meantime has wan
dered away from the house and
cannot be found. Her old man.
my, Eve, goes to the spring
and returns wailing with the
bonnet Of the little girl. The
alarm bell is rung. Men hurry
to the search. Some one tells
Ben that Gus had been seen
skulking along the river bank and
running, without cause, into the
woods. It is agreed that two
shots shall mean that the girl is
found alive, one, that she is dead.
There is an agonizing wait. The
old father prays on Bonded
knees that his baby shall be
spared. A single shot is heard

in the distance, and the curtain
descends as the wretched father
falls PROSTATE on the ground.
The curtain rises again and the
shrouded figure If the Ku Klux
on horseback dash across the
stage,
The next scene is the cave Of
Invisible Kingdom, In the midst
of the impressive ritual, the pris.
oner, Gus, is brought in bowling
with terror. He squirms on the
floor before the white figures.
In the weird light he growels
at the feet of his captors. His
old master steps forward, throws
off his hood and exerts his hyp-
motto influence on his former
slave. Under the spell he tells
how he followed Flora to the
spring, and, how, becoming frigh-
tened at his approach, she ran
over the cliff and was drowned.
He is condemned to death, and
Ben sends a courier on horse
back to summon the Khan so that
every negro in the state shall be
disarmed.
In the last act, which takes
place in the library of Silas Lynch
Ben is placed under military ar
rest, and Stoneman produces a
proclamation of martial law. Ben
is led away to death by drunk
en- court martial. Elsie returns
to plead with Lynch to grant a
reprieve, as Shrimp has temper
ari1y abdicated and left the state.
Lynch agrees to do so, but, en-
couraged by her fathers protes-
tations of his belief in equality,
he starts to ask her to marry him.
OWNING his purpose, she rush
es to the door. It is locked, she
faints in her terror. Lynch sum-
mons his negro guard. A violent
knocking is heard. Elsie is car
ried into the adjoining room.
Lynch opens the door and Stone
man enters. He asks where his
daughter is, and Lynch tells him
she is gone. He then tells Stone
man that he wishes to marry his
daughter. Stoneman's theories
| desert him, and he becomes a
living fury. Elsie's scream is
heard. and the abolitionist draws
his pistol and starts to shoot
Lynch, but the negro tells him
that a shot will be the signal for
his daughters death. He then
tells the old man that his negro
