WHO OWNS RAILROAD COMMISSION?
The Question Seems Pertinent to this
County as Well as Calhoun.

iarpers, March 29:-People OF
Iarpers have read with interest
the article from the Colleton
county "News" with reference
10 discrimination in rates on
fertilizer by the railroad compa-
nies. This is plain reminder to
our people here. When these
people of Colleton county ap-
piled to the railroad commis-
sioners our people applied to
those same men bearing the
r>name of railroad commissioners.
They have the right name, be.
cause they commission the rail-
roads to do what they please
and charge as much as they
want. Besides, our down-trod.
den farmers are forced to pay a
tax to- uphold the gov ernment
that created this railroad COM
mission. This government COL
lects the tax and pays those
three nen who ride in special
palace cars and work for the in.
terest of the railroad companies
People in this town and commu-
nifty petitioned those three rail-
road commissioners for three
years asking them in a most
humble and appealing manner
TO give US some relief here. We
have no accommodations here,
neither depot nor waiting-room.
What did we receive? The CON-
missioners removed our agency
and made our place a flag sta
ton. They even granted the
railroad company an order TO
remove our express Office, but
the express company refused to
cut our Office, out. This is the re-
lief our people get at the hands
OF those palace Car riders. Many
readers of your paper know the
above statement to be true. The
doors of the old shack of a de-
pot were thrown open the day
the Office fixtures were moved
from here and left open and the
hogs were dragging the freight
around over the streets-the
property of people in this CON-
munity. This is the outcome OF
an order granted at the bands OF
these three men that our State
has created the Office for, and
the same State is paying them
a salary to impose such treat
ment on her taxpayers. Every
citizen OF this town will bear
out every word OF the foregoing.
This statement is not intended
as personal, but only to show
what a farce and imposition the
State railroad commission is
when imposed upon the people
of the State of South Carolina.
predict that this Office will
oe discontinued by our law max
ers at the next session OF the
General Assembly. Our people
are daily receiving this same
treatment all over the State. Let
us rise up against such injustice
at the hands of our State ofic.
,als. The people are awakening
to the injustice of the useless of,
fee and it will not long exist in
this State.

BOYS OF COMPANY B.
Paul Gilmore at Grand Theater To-
morrow Night.

Paul Gilmore has never appeared
to better advantage than as Tony AL
len in "The Boys of Company b.
Young Mr.. Gilmore has been coming
to the coast for several years now
and his current vehicle gives him a
better opportunity to shine than
anything else he has attempted. This
is because perhaps, he is well suited
to the role. "The Boys of Company
B" is a military comedy by Rida
Johnson Young, who is responsible
for "Brown of Harvard" 1t was
first produced by Arnold Daily in
New York, and was later acquired
by Jules Murry for Gilmore.
''The Boys of Company BIB" is a
better play, taken as play, than
Brown Of Harvard" 1t is written in
very ladylike manner by Miss
Young and there is nothing offensive
in it. Tony West is more manly than
Tom Brown, for the latter was too
sissified for male audiences. All the
men in the story are members of
Company B, N. Y. n. G., the crack
company of the militia-something
like Company G, o. N. G., was a
score of years ago. There is an en-
campment, where there is soldier fun,
such as the awkward squad, the
blanket-tossing and similar horseplay
concomitant to state encampment
of citizen soldiers. There are layers
of comedy and layers of love, and
then just little mild villainy, but
much Of the latter. Tony is in love
with society girl whose mother is
planning to marry the girl to a
wealthy young snob. Tony and his
sweetheart become engaged, but the
girl breaks the engagement three
times before the final curtain. In
the end, Tony induces his uncle to
settle fortune on him and then he
is given a good job as corporation
lawyer, and all ends happily.
Here is pleasant, mild and jolly
entertainment, and Que which will
amuse theatergoers. Mr.. Gilmore as
hereinbefore stated, has a part bet
ter suited to him than any other role
he has essayed, and his support this
season is decidedly an improvement
over other companies he has had. 1t
is a large company and has been salts
factorily cast, all of which helps Won
the attraction.-Even Telegram.

CITY ELECTIONS.
Municipal Elections Tomorrow Seem
to Attract But Slight Attention.
Up to the Voter Now.

Tomorrow the voters of Aberdeen
will announce their decision as to
the various candidates for the offices
of mayor and city councilmen. The
campaign has been noted for the alb
sence of personalities or abuses;
who ever wins tomorrow will have
his own self respect and that of his
neighbors.
There has never been a municipal
campaign in Aberdeen that compares
with this one in point of quietness.
When Aberdeen was less than one
thousand in population, it could stir
up more strife and i'll feeling over a
city election than now seems posi-
BILE.
This may be taken as token of
progress. All the candidates are
we'll known men of fair average ca
pacity, so that the city of Aberdeen
is assured Of fair administration
next year, regardless of who wins
out tomorrow.

HUNTING SYNDICATE
ROOSEVELT'S AFRICAN HUNTING
i TRIP SYNDICATE.
II Is Reported That the Roosevelt
African Expedition Is Financed by
Wall Street NagnafeS, an ApprO-
priation by Congress not Being
Deemed Advisable.

New Of the most entertaining, if
not the most important character
comes from Wall street. We regret
that it comes in very incomplete con-
dition, but what there is of it is calcu-
lated to add greatly to the gayety of
this nation and probably to that of
OUhers.
The presidents original plan for fl
nancing the scientific department of
his South African hunting trip was to
have the Smithsonian Institution foot
the bills. AS the institute had no
funds available for the purpose, the
next suggestion was that it get a
special appropriation from congress !;
out tins was abandoned for obvious
reasons almost as soon as it was pro-
posed. The third was that Mr.. Roose-
velt would pay the persona! expenses
of himself and his son, and the Smith
sonian would supply biologists and
taxidermists, getting the money there
for where it could, but congress was
recognized as impracticable. The
president described himself as "fau-
nal naturalist" not given to the she'd
ding of blood, and resorting to that
extreme only when he found it i'm
possible to take his quarry alive. He
stipulated that he and his son were
to do the killing, the skinning to be
left to the Smithsonian experts, and all
the specimens were to be given to
'ho ian Institution except
those that Mr.. Roosevelt might care
to keep tor himself.
Now it is reported from New York
that Secretary Walcott, of the Smith
sonian Institution, went over to Wall
street and found five persons of great
wealth-we trust they are not male
factors--whO would rather have MIR.
Roosevelt in Africa than anywere else
and were willing to contribute $4,000
toward the expenses of the Smithson-
ian scientists who will accompany
Mr.. Roosevelt, conditioned upon his
staying away not less than one year.
The names of the five are strictly
guarded, and even guesswork hardly
reaches farther than Andrew Carnegie,
whose point of view is not that of
Wall street. If it could be known
positively that E. H. Hartman had
contributed $4,000 to make it possible
for Mr.. Roosevelt to go to Africa for
a year or more Wall streets cup of

from every part OF the room they
could be heard plunging against mir

ceiling. while too often to be pleasant
II would hit against the head Of the

lit a candle. This served to attract
the creatures nearer to that particu-

was placed. Then the reverend gen

began to come in. SO that 1t was i'm

HIS LIFE FOR A HAND.
An English Legend Of the Time Of the
Crusaders.

In a little town or village In Glouces-
tershire there is a church which
contains the mortal remains Of n of
the old crusaders. In moldering ef-
fgy he is depicted on the tomb, while
by his side in cold eloquence is imaged
the form Of his wife. 1t will be noticed
by even the casual observer that the
female image Is bereft OF one Of the
hands, and the story runs that the
crusader while fighting in the east
was made a prisoner of war and
brought before Saladin, who, before
executing judgment upon him, asked
him il there was any reason why be
should not be put to death. TO this
the knight replied that he was but
ded wife, who would bitterly mou
his loss.
1.-THE love of woman is as a fleeting
breath" retorted the sultan. Your
wife will forget that you have ever
lived; she Will love again and marry
another" To this the sad knight
could only reply that on her fidelity
he could rest his SOU. We'll, then"
replied Saladin. II will promise on my
oath as a soldier that II this mans
wife will cut off one OF her hands and
send 1t to me | will set him free to
