EXPLAINS DELAY.
Supt. Anderson Says c., N. & L. to
Blame Commission Will In
vestigate.
Augusta Chronicle.

Augusta Chronicle.
Columbia, S. c., Aug. 12.-The
railroad commission today received a
letter from Superintendent A. W.
Anderson of the second division OF
the Coast Line regarding the COM
plant Chairman Caughman has made
against it for violating the rule Of the
commission in failing to inform
about so passengers, who were kept
waiting here all Tuesday night last,
as to the cause Of the delay in the ar
rival of the Coast Lines train from
the up country. Superintendent An
derson blames the c., n. s L. officials
for the trouble which resulted. He
says his Office was as much in the
dark as to the nature Of the trouble
as the passengers kept waiting in Co.
lumbia for transportation to low
country points.
The commission, however, is not
satisfied with this explanation and
will have the officials Of both roads
here to show cause why the penalty
for violating the rule should not ap-
ply. Now the c., N. & L. is operated
by q separate company, but its d.
recters are Coast Line officials and it
is run by the Coast Line road. The
cause Of the delay was derailed
freight engine near Leaphardt station,
and though the passengers were new
er informed asHo the cause as the rule
requires, the c., N. & L., organiza-
;tion sent extra equipment to the seat
Of the trouble, and brought its pas
sengers into Columbia.
The exact date for the hearing has
not yet been set, but it will be held
in a few days. The outcome is anti
cipated with the keenest interest, not
only because tae Coast Line has
shown a disposition to resist the com
missions rules, but because in spite
: Of the fact that this particular rule
is over year old it has been more
violated than obeyed by all OF the
roads.

IMPROVING GROUNDS
OF STATE CAPITOL
P. ]. Berckman's Company Of Angus
ia Has Been Awarded Contract
$ Work Begins Soon.

The work Of improving the state
house grounds will be commenced at
a not distant date and will, perhaps,
be finished by fair week. The com
mission in charge of this work has en-.
gagged the services Of the P. J. Berck--
mans company Of Augusta, Ca, a
firm which for 81 years has been en-
gagged in the nursery business and IN
high class landscape. gardening. The
preliminary surveys were made IN
the spring, but the work Of planting
trees Was aot commenced then, as 1t
would have been unreasonable.

capitol and It's enVlrOnS.
The commission has a great deal OF
confidence in the judgment OF the
9,urserymen selected to do this work,
for they have been successful IN
number of former large undertakings
of this kind. The appropriation made
BY the general assembly was small,
but even with this the commission
hopes to show marked improvement
in the grounds themselves. and, as
was announced in The State few
days ago, the contract for the laying
of certain granite copings and GER
tain walks and approaches to the
building itself was let to Mr.. John }.
Cain, who is very much interested IN
the work and will give the state
good piece Of work as an evidence OF
his interest.
This will be only the beginning OF
the work which should be done to
carry out the designs Of Mr.. Jno.
Niernsee, the architect who design
ed the capitol building, but the state
is able at this time to make begin
ming only. The commission has pro-
ceeded in such way that the work
may, in the discretion Of the general
assembly, be continued from year to
wear bv providing for the completion
of first one part and then another un-
til finally the grounds will be in
keeping with the great building It,
self.
As soon, therefore, as the season is
propitious, the expert nurserymen
will begin to rearranee the grounds.
to plant ornamental grasses suitable
to this climate, and to substitute
hardy and graceful trees where others
should come down.

INCREASE IN TAX WILL
SOON BE in EFFECT
Americas viii Pay Higher
With Others.

Under the new tax law, which
go into effect next Wednesday there
are many new branches of business
that wild be liable for taxes and the
majority of these are in the insurance
line, where heretofore there have
been no State and county taxes re-
CURED.
Besides the new taxes, increases
are made in several lines.
Most of these go for educational
purposes, as did the whiskey revenue
which will be abolished with State
prohibition the idea in levying new
taxes being to offset the missing rev.
enue.
Cigarette dealers and those who
give away cigarette papers will pay
S25 instead of $40. 1t is apprehend-
ed that this increased tax will have
a tendency to greatly reduce the
number of places where cigarettes
can be purchased.
A tax of $25 per annum will be
levied on special and travelling agents
of assessment, industrial, sick bene-
fit and live stock insurance com
panies. while the local insurance
agents will be required to pay
$40 for each company represented.
Travelling and special agents Of
life fire and accident insurance com
panies must pay $50 for each agent
before they can be authorized to act.
The soda fountains do not escape
the new tax laws. Five dollars will
be levied on each draft arm and other
devices used in drawing carbonated
water making it a goodly amount on
large fountains. None of these have
been taxed in the past.
Increases will be made in the taxes
on pawnbrokers, cigarette dealers, au-
to dealers and pool and billiard par
lors While heretofore pawnbrokers
were assessed 800, in 1908 they will
have to pay 5000, a doubling of the
sum.
The tax on auto dealers has been
raised from $50 to 500 and pool and
billiard parlors which have paid
500 for each table will now be called
on for $40 a table.

Styles in Hosiery

The shops are continually show
ing many new and beautiful styles
in hosiery which are growing more
elaborate, and needless to say, are
increasing in price also. Eyelet en-
broidery is used with beautiful eff
fects on some. Gray silk stockings
are embroidered in three shades of
gray in running vine and the tin
lest pink rosebuds dotted at inter
walls. There was one pair of bridal
stockings that had oval medallions OF
hand-painted gauze at the instep.
On those insets were painted sprays
of orange blossoms held in place by
fine threads of silver.
A very inexpensive and novel hat
hin is tiny fur head of brown,
black. gray or white which is worn
in a fur hat or one that is trimmed
with fur. The jewelers. are showing
these pins in high prices when set
with brilliant eyes of precious or
semi-precious stones.
Among the Christmas handkerchiefs
are the cross-bar linen lawn, embrold-
cred in a fine design and tiny dots
These have very narrow hemstitched
hordnrs The lace trimmed ones are
lovely some of them showing a very
small center of lawn with several
rows of insertion edged with lace
Some have a heavy design worked in
silk in one corner or it may be an
initial. Others are buttonhole stitch
cd in silk around the edge and in one
corner is worked butterfly des-
