Empowered 80 Increase Rates.

Richmond, Va, March s1.-The
state corporation commission having
handed down an opinion in favor Of
the railroads in the matter Of the petit
ton of the common carriers increas
ing the maximum rate from two cents
a mile to two and !. half cents, all the
roads in the state which have been
operating under the two cent maxi
mum rate will now go on the basis
of two and a half cents.
The commission is not unanimous
in its award, Judge Prentis and Col
onel Willard voting for the increase
as asked by the roads and Judge Rhea
dissenting and urging that the old
rate is now, to his mind, unreason-
able or unjust. He holds that before
any increase whatever is permitted
the roads should give assurance that
they will place on sale and keep on
sale books to be sold at two cents a
mile, said books to be for local travel
Or interchangeable. He also expresses
the belief that the roads should give
this assurance before any action is

WILL HOKE smith
APPROVE FARM?

Atlanta, March 31.-will the gov
ernor approve or disapprove the farm
selected by the prison commission to
be purchased by the state for the use
Of white convicts?
This is the all-absorbing question
at the state capitol now, an division
of opinion relative thereto exists. One
thing is virtually cerAain, however,
and it is that If the farm recommend
ed is not purchased none will tbe
bought for the present. White prison
ers will be distributed among the
counties at once, and the farm matter
will go over until later in the pear,
1t is stated on good authority that
the governor has employed two ex-
perienced and reliable men to make
an investigation of the property which
has been recommended, and his de-
cision will probably be governed in
large part by their report. They are
said to be in Twiggs county looking
over the place now.
Governor Smith is also investigating
the other three of the last four pro-
perties considered by the commission
These are the Greer property in Tur-
ner county, the Parker property in
Tiff, and the Smith property in ,Laur-
ems. His purpose in this is said to
be to gain information that can be
had by comparing the places from
which the final selection was made.
If the place is approved the prison
commission will lake prompt steps
to put 1t in operation without any de-
lay.
The prisoners will be quartered
without the use OF tents. Buildings
already on the farm will be utilized

Sells Trappines For a Song.

Washington, d. c., March 31.-Gen-
ova Morteza Khan, the Persian min
ister being about to sail for home,
says that he is going home to visit
his family, but Washington had an
idea that because of changes in the
administration of affairs, in Persia he
was going for good and all. This i'm
preston was strengthened when the
minister's Persian rugs, tapestries,
hangings, curios, etc., were sold at
public auction. Several Persian rugs
and bits of furniture went for almost
a song. An especially attractive
Kashhahi Shiraz, brown ground with
figures of dark red and black, was
sold for SIS, while small table cover,
equally attractive, brought but $3.50.

How The Gardner Looks to Hits and Mrs. Pierce

One day about month ago by this
Years calendar, walked into the new
Gardner hotel in Fargo. I had no
grip or business, but just walked in to
look around in the company OF gem
tIeman whose excuse was about as
thin as mine. After feeling OF the fur
niture to see IL the leather was genu-
inc or machine made. we wondered up
to the desk. where my friend shook
hands through the general delivery
with the clerk, who he called Ray. The

said he would show us over the house

were quite willing and started in on
the elevator. can safely say that 1t
was as good an elevator as have ever
met either going up or coming down.
Come to think OF It, st. Thomas has a
number Of very tall elevators, but they
never struck me as being especially
adapted to lifting people into bed from
the ground floor; to a place where they
could take a bath and ten hours OF
sleep at Is cents an hour. After
we mad gone up far enough the clerk,
who carried a key attached to a brass
hat band big enough for the morning
afterwards. began unlocking doors
and letting us in. One of the rooms
had a green carpet on the floor and
green frescoing on the walls and IL
looked very nice and clean. The fres-

fire and burned a large sirloin steak
