Advance Of Freight Raset

The Southwestern Traffic AS
ISOLATION, composed of the gen
eral freight agents of the rail-
roas operating in the southwest,
last week gave notice to the In
terstate Commerce Commission
of an advance of 5 to 10 cents
per hundred pounds on all COM
modities shipped from another
state into Texas. The rate does
not apply to interstate shipments
between other states than Texas,
and hence the motive behind the
move it not clearly revealed. Of
course the first object is to ex-
tort more money from the public,
but just why they tax it all
against Texas is not apparent.
Oklahoma, for instance, gets a
2 cent passenger fare, while
Texas pays 3 cents, and yet no
advance is made in freights in
Oklahoma to make up the differ
ence. Not that we think such an
advance should have been made.
On the contrary, we think con-
ditions do not warrant any adj
vance anywhere, and we believe
that a strong protest should go
up from every state in the south
west, and if it is not made effect
i've before the railroads and the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, should be carried to the
ballot box.
There is strong suspicion
that the motive for charging all
the advance made by the south
western roads to Texas is to pun
ish this state for the intangible
assets tax and to warn the pub
lie against any further anti-rail-
road legislation. If this is the
motive the game will prove a
boomerang. The people of
Texas have been not only good,
but very good, to the railroads.
They have given them millions
of acres of their best land as
bonuses and have never yet
made them bear their share of
the support of the government,
and in no instance has any un-
just burden been placed upon
them. If any injustice had been
done them the people of Texas
are fair and honest and an APP
peal to their judgment and sense
of fairness would correct the
evil. But this imposition of more
tribute against the already over
burdened and long-suffering
producer of the states wealth
will never brighten him into sub
mission to railroad dictation of
the laws which shall govern

ding, but the girl denied all that and
stated, for all that could be told of
what she did say, that she married
Sawaya willingly, and that there was
no truth in the stories OF the whip
pings.
Other men in the party who were
at the court house yesterday morning
stated that they knew the bride was
scared to death of her mother, and
that she dared not tell the truth about
the cruelties that have been practiced
on her nor of the forced wedding in
which she was forced to play the prin-
cipal female role.
What the witnesses and the woman
told the grand jury is not known, of
course, but the bride did not seem to
be afraid of anything or anybody; she
bore no scars or stripes on her
swarthy but fairly good-looking face,
or well-rounded and heavily bejewelled
arms.

DETERIORATION Of COTTON
THROUGHOUT THE STATE

Numerous reports of the deteriora-
ton of the cotton crop in different por-
tions of the state are now being made
and the yield does not promise to be
as large as was expected only a short
while ago.
In the Hattiesburg territory there
has been some falling off, but not so
much as in other parts of the state.
While the yield is not quite so large
here as indicated a short time ago,
yet the people are not complaining and
they are making at least an average
crop. Many farmers already have at
least half of their cotton crops gath
cred. But the following from the
Jackson Evening News tells of the
condition of cotton throughout the
state.
Reports of cotton crop deterioration
continue to pour in from all sections
of the state. Weather conditions dur
