Several important rulings under the
new railroad rate law are embodied in
an opinion of the Inter State Com
merce Commission made pablo last
week. According to the decision 10th
ing but money can be lawfully accept
ed for transportation, whether OF
passengers or property, or for any SER
vice in connection Herewith. Where
joint rate established by connecting
carriers is less or greater than the
sum Of their local rates, such joint
rate is change of rates and requires
notice of thirty days. On new lines
of road, including branches and ex-
tensions of local roads, individual
rates may be established in the first
instance, as may joint rates to and
from points on such new lines without
notice, On posting tariff of such rates
and fling the same with the commits
sion. The commission holds that the
provisions regarding the publishing,
fling and posting of tariffs apply to
mileage, excursion and commutation
rates, and that such rates when first
established are changes of rates which
require thirty days notice. Strictly
excursion rates, however, which cover
a named and limited period Of not
more than thirty days may be estab-
Iished On shorter notice.

Everybody is going to the Greater
State Fair this year. Preparations are
being made to entertain about twice
as many as were there last year, and
that was about the biggest crowd in
the history of the fairs. This year the
foremost feature will be the home
coming" celebrations. Every South
Carolnian, no matter where he lives
now, is expected to be in Columbia
that week. Indications are that
thousands of people from all over the
United States will take advantage OF
this opportunity to come and renew
friendships and see their dear old
home again. If you have any relative
or friends living in other states. write
them about this homecoming
week. Do it right now. And make
them come The railroads have been
prevailed upon to give the cheapest
rates, ONE FARE FOR THE ROUND
TRIP.
AS to the fair itself, everything will
be in great shape. The new buildings
have been put in apple-pie order and
the grounds trimmed up. The en-
frances and exits have been rear
ranged so that there will be no trouble
as to handling crowds twice as large
as heretofore.
The fair will start this year Oh
Monday, October q and will run fve
full days, ending on the night OF the
9th. Every day will bring forward
some new and interesting feature.
And the races-four days-will be the
finest ever seen in the South. The
track at the fair grounds now is the
fastest in the South. Some of the
best horses en- the track will be IN
these races. John l.. Sullivan will
give pugilistic exhibitions.
For those who enjoy such things,
the theaters and dances Will be OF
the highest order, even eclipslnS all
previous years.
Everybody you know Will be at the
fair this year. Make your arrange
ments and be on hand from start to
finish. Ample arrangements are beng
made for the accommodation OF all
visitors. And the street car service
TO and from the grounds will be
helped out by the railroads as special
trains will be run every day to and
from the Fair Grounds. There will be
no inconvenience. Just lots Of fun
and a Jolly good time for everybody.

BURTON REACHES coLuMB1A.

Columbia. S. c., September 25.-
Chairman Burton, of the House
committee on rivers and harbors, is
here at last, and the Chamber Of
Commerce and Congressman Lever
and Congressman Finley are working
him overtime, entertaining him and
showing him the business advantages
and possibilities Of the town if river
navigation is perfected. Mr.. Burton
came in this morning by way of
Augusta and was met by a committee
Of citizens, who escorted him to
Wr;ght's Hotel, where he was al
lowed to get a brief rest. This af-
ternoon he is being driven over the
town for a personal inspection Of the
principal manufacturing plants, the
wholesale centers and the power de-
velopment at the Canal and the pos
sibilities of navigation in limited
way through the locks and on the riv-
er above there. He dined at Wright's
this evening with a committee Of citi-
zens.
Tomorrow morning Mr.. Burton will
be taken down the river for an in
spection Of the Government dam and
locks, just below Columbia, and from
there will be taken by Capt. Howell
and Engineer Whitescarver, Of the
Government works, and a committee
Of Columbians to the mouth Of the
Congaree, fifty miles below Columbia.
From the mouth Of the Congaree
the visitor will be taken across coun-
try to catch the Thursday afternoon
Coast Line trais. into Georgetown,
where he will spend Thursday, leav-
ing that city Thursday evening for
Washington.
Congressman Finley, who wants to
get Mr.. Burton interested in Catawba
River. will accompany the party down
the Congaree and will go on 10
Georgetown with Mr.. Burton. He
wanted Mr.. Burton to stop over at
Camden for a look over the power de-
velopment near there, but the visitor
has important engagements North,
which demand his going on.-News

The Lack of Place For Spawning Re-

Fish.
There is grave danger of shad be-
coming extinct, according to United
States Commissioner of Fisheries,
which is bad news to the many
lovers Of the fish. Explaining
how the tootsome fish may follow the
bison and the wild pigeon, he says
in his annual report:
Under the conditions which have
been becoming more and more pro-
nounced, the run of fish for spawn-
il.g purposes has been practically
wiped out in many Of the most I'M
portant streams, and unless the States
promptly take some action by which
a fair percentage Of the shad may
reach their spawning grounds, the
future for this fish is gloomy

sought employment in Brooklyn.
There he made the acquaintane of
Miss Macdonald. He fell in love with
her.
Miss Glover heard OF him in Brook
lyn, and wrote, pleading with him to
save her good name. Thin he LETT
Brooklyn and got employment in
Trenton. Miss Macdonald was on a
visit to Newark last Wednesday. She
happened to say to a friend that she
was going to marry Frank Thober.
The friend exclaimed!
Frank Thober Why he was en-
gaged to a girl in Newark, Miss
Glover. Her father is a wealthy
banker
Miss Macdonald had never heard
of the other girl in the case, but be-
gan an investigation which led her
mother to meet Miss Glover's mother.
Then one marrige engagement was
broken and another one made. The
plan to compel Thober to marry the
girl he deserted was then formed,
Miss Macdonald declaring that she
thought herself lucky in losing him.
After the wedding feast, Mrs. Tho
Der, as she is now known, returned
with ner mother to Newark. Miss
MacD onald and the wedding guests
made merry. Everybody ,congratu-
lated Miss Macdonald on her bravery,
and that she would have good luck
for the remainder of her days. She
said she simply did her duty. Those
who witnesse the wedding Of Thober
and Viola Glover agreed to keep the
matter a secret.
Yesterday someone sent notices to
the Newark newspapers, saying that
Miss Glover and Mr.. Thober had been
secretly married in December last,
after eloping to Brooklyn. Friends
Of Miss Macdonald saw the notices,
and began to ask questions. To set
tie the matter, Mrs. Macdonald sent
this notice to the Brooklyn newspa-
per last night:
Macdonald -Thober.
Engaseuent Of marriage between
Miss Mary. A. Macdonald and VIII
liam Frank Thober is cancelled, ow-
ing to the bridegroom having a wife
in Newark
Trenton and Newark papers please
copy.
The Newark newspapers received
copies Of it and applied to Mrs.
Glover for an explanation. She de-
clared at first that the marriage had
taken place in December last. Tho
ber's relatives backed up this state
ment, but when Mrs. Glover was in
formed that the true facts We're
known. she said she was simply try
ing to shield her daughters name in
saying tht marriage had taken place
in December.
Thober did not return to Newark.
One of his friends said he would
probably never return. He is twenty
one years old. The girl he married
is nineteen. The girl who refused to
marry him, Miss Macdonald, is young
too. She is nineteen, and heroine
