The defendant further alleges Il had an informal conference
with the Commission, and thS Commissioner Watson viewed some
OF the places where II established the dcpots above mentioned, and
that it made application 70 the Commission 10 locate depols as above
designated, and that il understood such locations were approved by
the Commission.
The Commission finds from the evidence ia this case that the
defendant is a new line Of railroad, and thatt has established a mtff9
dcnt number Of depots for the reasonable, use and services Of the
public as conditions now exist; that he depots are located a proper
and reasonable distance from each other, and that The defendant had
informed the Commission Of its intention % locate such depots and
that such locations appeared to he reasonable and proper. That the
compliments built d cotton GIN and are trying to establish a town az
the point where the depot is asked for, together with switching facfi-
ties; that the town consists Of about one hundred people and q con0a
gin.
In view Of the fact that this being a new railroad and that tho
depots were located by the defendant after using due consideration
and that the same arc located for the proper operation OF the road
and the reasonable convenience Of the public, the Commission coula
not grant the relief asked for without materially interfering witt
the present location Of depots. That to require the defendant te
cut the rails on lis main line and install switches two miles Of estah
lished facilities for the purpose Of promoting or building a town
would certainly be an unreasonable interference by the Commission
with the operation Of the defendants road.
Where there are old towns established, the Commission may be
warranted in ordering facilities even though such towns are within q
short distance from other depots, but to establish stations two mnss
Of each other for the purpose Of promoting towns, as appears from
the evidence is sought to be done in this case, is not a proper regula
ton and Is unreasonable.
I'll therefore ordered thaeth complaint be dismissed.

A COMMON ECONOMIC ERROR

For many years it has been
the custom of Southern farmers
to make their crop upon the "ad-
vance system" and while this
has been regarded as an econom-
ic error on the side of the farmer
by many merchants it has been
thought that it was a very profit
able way of buying cotton.
The farmers realize that as a
matter of safety it was better to
make the food consumed by his
family and his stock upon the
farm rather than to purchase it
and especially when he had to
promise payment out Of a crop
which he had not as yet made. |
have been watching this phase
Of country life in the South for
many years and have come to the
conclusion that the advance sys-
tenn" is just as great a mistake
on the part of the merchant as 1t
is on the part Of the farmer, for
the following reasons:
First, the merchant takes great
risks, which, of course, he tries
to cover by increased charges.
But even though these charges
are increased, the staples of life
are not such articles as a high
percentage of profit will adhere
to, and the merchant is practi-
cally trading gold for a promise
to pay. If the crop fails, he is
obliged to carry and carry and
possibly may ultimately, as in
thousands of cases, be obliged to
take the farm, for which he has
no use, and under boil weevil
conditions is difficult to handle
profitably upon a tenant system.
Under a cash system there will
be a great reduction in the sales
Of some staple foods such as ba-
con, potatoes, beans, lard, vege-
tables, canned goods, hay, corn,
etc., all articles that carry low
profits. The farmer is rarely a
hoarder of money and if he saves
two hundred dollars or more by
producing his food supplies at
home he has tnat much more to
spend when his crop is made,
and it is cash.
! Under cash system the farm
er will buy with his surplus more
dry-goods, clothing, shoes, furni-
lture, ETC., for his family, better
teams, farm implements, wag-
ons, buggies, etc., on which there
! is a much greater profit for the
merchant than on staple articles
of food. The merchant can turn
his money in thirty day ,jsnstead
of a year. Ten per cent clesiSI
profit turned monthly is batter
than 120 per cent gain received
annually. Some Of the farmers
increased income goes into per-
manent improvement to enable
the farmer to produce more and
spend more annually.
! Again, there is something
about raising cotton, tobacco,
ETC., to pay a debt, that saps the
vitality Of the farmer and affects
The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1909-01-07

the quality OF his tillage. 1t re-
ally lowers the grade of farming.
If upon the other hand the mer-
chants will join with us in urging
farmers to raise all their food
supplies and try to produce by
better tillage double the crop per
acre they now produce, the re-
suit as it affects the merchant
will be this:
All business will soon be on a
cash basis and the volume will be
three or four times as large from
the farmers alone. The advent
of more money will bring diver
sified industries among the far
mers and eventually will attract
manufacturers to the market
| towns.
If there are idle farms in the
county, instead of calling meet
ings for the purpose of raising
funds to secure immigration, call
meetings to encourage the far
mers who know the country and
are loyal to it, to universally
adopt the following plan. First,
provide their own food supplies
from the farm. Second, double
the average product on every
acres under cultivation and let
each worker on the farm by the
use of better teams and tools, till
three times as many acres as at
present, not in the one crop but
in a variety of diversified and
profitable crops. This would
cause an immediate demand for
more land and would provide the
money to pay for it. This makes
every man on the farm more than
six times the industrial power he
now is an gives him a love of
the farm. This Is better than to
leave him in Encouragement and
secure migrants to come and buy
him out.
should not speak SO positive
/ ly, only | have observed for a
quarter of a century that where
the Southern merchants have
changed from an advance sys-
tenn" to cash system, they have
prospered very much more than
linformer years and the number
of failures in immensely less. OF
course. it is not meant that there
should be no credits, but practi-
cally there should be little neces-
sity for them until the crop is
actually ready for the harvest,
then trade becomes a cash trans
4 faction. Or better still, the far
mer can get his money from the
! bank and pay cash in all cases, if
! there isa lack of ready money.
/ The advance system bears

hardship. His crop

so SIS to secure sloans. If the
cotton farmer is not forced te
sell to raise money to pay debts
he will store his crop on his farm
and market at his leisure, which
/ is in the interests of all parties.

J that the farmer will immeasura-

Will Sorsby Sunday morning at
Z O'Clock at the home Of Robert
Johnson in Clinton, where he had
been concealed for some time in
the attic, which he entered
through trap door; having
never been outside of Kinds
county since he murdered the
brave and good Charles Fitzger-
aid, the post Office. inspector.
Sorsby is now in Jail in Jackson.
If the testimony brought out at
the trial in March shows that
murder was committed, then the
jury and the Judge should not
permit sympathy for a young
wife OF prominent relatives in
terfere with his receiving the
just deserts a murderer should
have at the end of rope.
| The widow and children Of the
gallant Fitzgerald, bereft OF. good
husband and kind father should
be considered, the moral effect
of the legal hanging of one OF
prominence would be of great
benefit to a state where human
life is too cheap, and the good
people of Mississippi will never
be satisfied with less punishment
that the testimony warrants.
No plea of guilty with a life
sentence agreed to by the court
is adequate punishment for mur-
der, wilful and deliberate, and
nothing less than a fair trial be-
fore jury should for a moment
be considered. If Sorsby did
right acquit him-if he did
wrong he should suffer the full
penalty.

OLD BODY IS NO MORE
Chamber of Commerce Has Given
Way to Newer Com
mercial Club.

Notice has been given to the Salt Lake
Real Estate association, which has been
acting in the capacity of the Salt Lake
chamber Of commerce in the building on
Third South street, between West Tenn
pie and Main streets, and known for sew
eral years past as the chamber of COM
merce building, that it must vacate by
the first of the year or as soon there
after as possible the Real Estate assO-
citation will seek other quarters, but it is
not definitely decided as to whether or
not it will act also as the local chamber
of commerce.
The Utah Manufacturers association
viii probably occupy temporary offices
in the TempletOn building until their
quarters in the Vermont building are
ready. The State Fair association and
offices in other buildings.
The orders to VaCate came as the result
of the announcement made by the Manu-
al soon as possible to the Vermont build
ing. With the Manufacturers out of the
building the rental would be reduced to
such an extent that it was considered
advisable to get all the present tenants
out and to lease the building for store
purposes.
Though in reality there has been no
chamber of commerce in the city, the
Third South street building has been
known under that name since it was built,
several years ago. With the removal of
the Real Estate association to other quar-
ters it is said that mail addressed to the
local chamber Of commerce will 90 to the

PUBLIC TO BLAME
FOR COAL SHORTAGE
Failure to Place Orders During
Warm Weather Leads to
Difficulty.

Reports to the contrary notwithstand-
ing the coal situation in Salt Lake at
present is far from being problem which
can be easily solved. At least this IS
the opinion of several of the largest coal
dealers in the city. and they should know
something about the question.
When asked as to their ability TO fill
orders, the manager of one of the largest
firms in the city had the following to say
This talk about the railroads being able
to get enough coal and to spare into the
city to supply all demands is all tommy
rot for the present at least. While one
cause Of the shortage may be the holiday
season it must be remembered that there
have been several extremely heavy snow
storms in this part of the country and
when these storms are sufficiently heavy
to hold up passenger trains sometimes as
much as from five to ten hours. it Is
useless to say that coal trains are not
being delayed.
'sThe railroad companies. however, are
doing nobly. and / do not wish to detract
from them in any way. The conditions
this winter are rather unusual. the good
weather up until a short time ago pre-
venting the people from ordering in adj
vance. with the result that everyone made
a grand rush when the first snow dp-
peared, and literally swamped coal deal
ers all through the city with orders. Then
another cause, and to my mind the vital
one is the fact that the public has gotten
the idea into Its head that there is a coal
shortage all over the country and that
the mines viii not be able to supply
enough coal for sumner consumption.
1T is not the fault of the mines, and it
is not the fault Of the railroads. The for
mer are turning out more than enough
coal to supply every demand, and while
the latter are experiencing some diff
Guilty in getting their trains through the
deep snow and in some instances in
reaching the mines with empty cars, and
moving them after loaded, if the demand
were normal everything would be run
ming smoothly"

FIRST FREIGHT ARRIVES
Full Train Comes in Over the West
ern Pacific Several Hours
Late.

Almost in time TO be considered
Christmas present for Salt Lake, the first
through trainlOad of freight arrived last
night over the new Western Pacific from
San Francisco at about $3.50 o clock. While
the freight has been on the road since
Dec. 20, the date on which the eastbOund
rates went into effect. s. V. Derrah, as
sstant general freight agent of the West
ern Pacific in this city, said last night
that this time should not be taken as the
average which will he made by the road
when everything gets to running smooth
~. Although several special trains, con-
struCtiOn gangs and the like, have passed
over the road before, this was really the
first full freight train to use the new
road, and naturally great care had to be
taken to avoid accidents, and any attempt
at a fast run was practically impOs-
sibie. as the crews are not yet familiar
with The road.
In addition to this, the weather has not
been exactly good for speedy freight
schedules in California lately, and the
train was delayed a great many hours
from snow and storm causes.
