Darlington Defeated.

Darlington, June 2o.-The Electri-
clans turned their battery on the Fic-,
61ers this afternoon and the current
was so strong that Darlington was
psralyzed. She, however, succeeded
ir scoring two runs out of eight, but
was clearly outclassed by Anderson.
The fans are wildly elamoring for
new players and some action along
this line is eagerly anticipated. Mr..
Dan T. McKeithan, who succeeds Mr..
J. T. Langston as president, can be
depended on to either call down and
OUT or to insist en- better playing.
-he local team is sadly in need Of re-
inforcements and a change is looked
for and that right early.

! figures American freight rates today
are much cheaper than rates charged
In other countries. and the decline
since 1900 has been more complete.
| The report says that American
railways carry freight for rates that
average but 57.14 per cent OF the
average charged in France, $3.50
per cent OF that In Germany, 6O.32
per cent OF that in Austria. 61.29
per cent OF that in Hungary, about
so per cent OF that In Italy and
about 80 per cent of that in Euro
.pean Russia. Since 1890 American
rates have declined 1915 per cent.
French rates 1864 per cent and Ger
man rates see"
II Is recognized that the decline
in rates abroad is not so great as
that In the United States for the
reason that foreign railroads are en-
gagged almost entirely In hauling
high class freight. their rivers and
canals being so highly developed as
TO admit of low class freight being
carried thereon. To this fact Is at
tributable the wonderful manufac-
turing preeminence OF Germany
That country not only is thus en-
abled to transport It's grains. ores and
coal cheaply for domestic use, but II
can load It's manufactures direct In
ships for transportation TO foreign
countries, avoiding the heavy tolls
enforced by railroad carriage. and
permitting German manufacturers to
land their wares abroad al the low
est cost for transportation.
Another vital factor in this decline
In railroad rates is the rapidly grow
ing sentiment In this country in IA
vor OF developing the navigable
waterways OF the United States. The
country has been aroused by the vast
sums saved TO shippers by reason OF
water trafhc on the Great Lakes. In
this particular a recent government
report showed that on the amount
of freight carried on the lakes dur
ing the season OF 1905, shippers OF
ore' coal grain and lumber alone
were saved IN freight charges the
enormous sum OF SS05. 900 GOO
These hgures are based on the
amount OF freight carried and the
fact that railroad freight tariffs are
six times as sreat as lake trausporta-
tion charges.

The Daily Short Story

and in it were packed the habili-
ments Of his past self.
He now paved them over with
growing satisfaction, which so far
| mastered him that he removed his
tailor-made garments, and, dOnnine
| his CASTOR working clothes again,
stood forth man. as he had called
himself, clad in coarse cloth and
shod with heavy boots, brother to
the sturdy oak and the stalwart
| elm, man hampered by no pro-
| prieties and restricted by no Gus.
| toms.
He had grown bold and ventured
down into the kitchen, where he
sat by the big range. SO unlike the
cook stove of the past. He lit his
pipe as he had done of old when
the angry winter blasts swept
through the clearing and the wolves
howled dismally far off in the
| woods.
Hiram" said Mirandy; Hiram,
| amt you contented?"
Hiram heaved sigh.
81 guess kin stand 1t, Mirandy,"
he said; ''only | got to wonderin'
what used to feel like"
Hiram" said his wife. as she
walked over to him and put her
hand on his grizzled head: hiram.
things amt like they used to be, are
| they? You don't act natural. Hiram,
and don't feel natural; and don't
know, Hiram, but what the farm
!, was best"
Hiram saw that his good old wife
was sad, and even as he had risen
against the forest and wrested from
it his upland acres, he encountered
this, the difficulty of later years.
"Mirandy." he said, things amt
the same. God hez blessed us with
money, and as we hev no children
it's fit that we should make use NV
it. Ye hev worked hard, Mirandy,
and now we should do as pleases We.
Well stay here Mirandy, an may
be we'll grow to like it; but I'd give
the balance of my days to feel a
peevie in my hands again and to
hear the whips a-crackin' back in
the woods"
Mirandy silently kissed him.
After while she said: Hiram, I'll
git your supper tonight like used
to. Wen have some things like we
used to eat, and it'll seem like old
times"
So, seated at the kitchen table,
Hiram ate from the plebeian ware
that dared not to mingle with the
china of the dining room, and
thought of the days that were no
more and of the things that money
couldn't buy.
Later in the evening he took off
his rough clothes, and. packing
them carefully in the trunk, con-
signed them to the friendly shad-
ows of the attic.
