Under the existing law the commission
may not investigate an increase in rates
until after it shall become effective; and
although one or more carriers may file
with the commission q proposed increase
in rates or change In classifcations, or
other alteration of the existing rates or
classihcations, to become effective at the
expiration of 80 days from such filing, no
proceeding can be taken to investigate
the reasonableness of SUCH proposed
change until after it becomes operative.
On the other hand, if the commission
shall make an order finding that an eX-
listing rate is excessive, and directing it
to be reduced the carrier affected may
by proceedings in the courts, stay the
operation of such order of reduction for
months. and even years 1t has, there
fore, been suggested that the commits

Loath to Lose Negro College.

Orangeburg, January 1.-THE
proposition for the removal of the
State College for Negroes from the
city of Orangeburg, emanating from
the Race Conference, has caused
some talk here, and it is certain that
the proposition has it's advocates, but
it is not believed that they will be
able to influence favorable action by
the legislature. In fact, this action
on the part of certain leaders of the
negroes is regarded by many as a
fight, or perhaps more accurately
speaking, a continuation or extension
of the fight already on against the
present management of the institu-
ton. The white people here are
really divided in opinion as to this
remaining the location of the college,
but a majority of the business men
Of the city would probably vote to
have it remain. There neve has
been any complaints against the stu
dent body, and only rare instances Of

has Just returned from Columbia,
where he went to look after the in
terests of Avant, the man, who with
DR.. G. c.. Bigham, was found guilty
of the killing of Mrs. Bigham last
summer at Murrell's Inlet.
Avant gave himself up to the peni-
tentiary authorities when called upon
by Mr.. Wells, the solicitor, whose
opinion was that he and Bigham had
no right to be out on bond. DR.. Big
ham has been in Greenville and other
points and effort had been made to
arrest him.
Mr.. Ragsdale will return to Co.
lumbia this week to argue the habeas
corpus proceedings. 1t is understood
that should a new trial be granted
that a change of venue will be asked,
as it is stated that sentiment in
Georgetown is too strong to allow

MULE DRIVER TO AMBASSADOR.
r. G. keren'S Case Illustrates Flip
f1ops of Times Whirling.

Truly time works wonderful
changes, and one of the most won
derful in America, this land of magi-
cal changes, is the appointment of
Richard c. Kerens, of St. Louis, to
be Ambassador to Austria.
The original location of the Kerens
family in the United States was in
Iowa, from where they moved to
Doniphan county, this State, where
they resided for some years, and then
the family, consisting Of father ard
mother, two brothers, and one sister,
removed to Leavenworth, where they
made their home for several years.
While they lived on Ottawa street,
the father and the mother died, and
to-day their remains lie in the old
abandoned Catholic Cemetery, ad-
joining the Federal prison quarry on
Government Hill.
Both Richard C. kerens and his
brother obtained employment at Fort
Leavenworth as teamsters, or as it
was more familiarly called in those
days, mule whackers," and this was
their means of gaining livelihood
during the years they spent there.
Finally Richard C. gained promotion,
and left there as assistant wagon
master under Jack Wilson, father
in-law of R. B. Bradford, of St.
Louis, and who died in Chicago a
short time ago, for Fort Smith and
Leavenworth knew him no more.
The house where his father died
in Ottawa street is still standing, and
is occupied by colored family,
while the last place occupied by the
family, one-story frame with a
stone wall in front, in Seneca street,
bids fair to last for many year to
come.
But what change! The erstwhile
mule whacker," who had to earn a
livelihood by manual labor long after
four years steady work gained a
slight advance in position, is to-day
quoted as being worth between thirty
and forty million dollars, and is Am
bassador to the oldest and most aris-
tocratic monarchy in Christendom.-
