Prosperous Crop Outlook.

Chester, special.--The prospects Of
a large yield of all kinds of crops in
this county are brighter and. more
promising just now than has been the
case at this season in quite a num-
Der of years. The weather through
out the year has been ideal for cul-
tivation. There is a larger acreage
in corn than there has been in any
year in the last ten; .much of the
fertilizer used this year has been ap-
piled to that crop. The cotton fields
everywhere are row in full bloom and
in spite of the unusual quantity OF
rain the stalks are taxing on "fruit /"
nicely.

coMMERcE COMMISSION FAVoRs
SMALL SHIPPERS IN DECISION
RENDERED MONDAY.
CAN COMBINE SHIPMENTS
Arrangements Can 30 Made Among
Themselves Or Through FOR
wardlnC Agency--o Grounds N
for the Ruling. NJ

Washington, July According i
Q decision By the Interstate Commerce
commission Monday shippers ma,
combine small quantities Of freight b
various ownership, either by arrange
ment among themselves or through
the medium Of 4 forwarding agency
and ship the combined lot at the Fela
lively lower rates applicable to large
shipments.
The commission decided In favor Of
the smaller shippers upon the ground
that the ownership Of property ten.
dered for shipment cannot be made q
test as to the applicability as to car
riers rates. The interstate commerce
law forbids discrimination between
shippers, and the fact that one ship
per tenders '.bulked shipment"
made up Of property Of various own.
ership consolidated before delivery to
the carrier VIII not justify the car
rier In making a different charge than
for q shipment Of similar character
rendered by shipper yho Is also
the owner.
The commission rests Its decision
principally upon the case Of Wight vs..
United States, whore the supreme
court held that the phrase under sub
stantially similar circumstances and
conditions as found In section two
Of the act prohibiting discrimination,
refers to the matter Of carriage. The
decision also follows the English
cases Interpreting the so-calIed
Equality clause Of the English act,
which clause has been substantially
Incorporated into the Interstate com
lnerce law.
This decision was made BY Com
missioner Lane, based on q complaint
by the California Commercial associ-
alton vs.. Wells, Fargo & Co. The
express company refused to apply its
quantity rates to shipments which
consisted Of d combination Of pack.
lges Of various ownership, rendered
i one time and one place by 3 single

'onsienee under one bill Of ladlng.
The export shipping cases in which
Ieveral railroads are named as de-
endants, arise from q similar sit.
IatIon. The complainant A. engaged

The refusal Of the carrier to accept
