Roads Seek to Increase Rates.

Washington, June 2.-Undaunted
by the governments proceedings un-
der the Sherman antitrust act, by
which a part of the proposed increase
of freight rates in the territory west
of the Mississippi was suspended by
injunction, railroads in the East and
in the Middle West to-day filed with
the interstate commerce commission
tariffs embodying increased rates.
Attorney General Wickersham de-
clines to indicate what course he will
purpue in behalf of the government.
The Senate, on the verge to-day of
passing the administration railroad
bill, hesitated and finally postponed
action until another day. Tonight
practically every railroad system in
the North, from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, has filed with the interstate
commerce commission the legal mott
fication of proposed increases in COM
modify rates. The increases filed to-
day range from to 81 per cent.

Ten Dollars Not to Tell.

Sarah E. Pack, teacher in Union
college, Lincoln, Neb., has paid $40
for the privilege Of keeping her own
secrets. The census enumerator ask
ed her how old she was, and she re-
fused to tell him. Then he asked ii
she was married, she refused to tell
him. He next asked if she had ever
been divorced and she refused to tell
him. "If you refuse to answer these
questions I shall have to report you
and have you indicted go ahead,
don't case," replied the lady. He
did go ahead, and case was made
in the federal court. Without wait
ing to be arrested Sarah E. Peck ap-
peared before the court and entered
a plea of guilty as charged. The
court assessed a fine of $40. She took
a roll out of her pocket and paid it,
and walked out of the court room
with triumphant smile on her face.
And so, it will be seen, the new CEN
sus will be incomplete in at least one
detail.-Savannah News.

Build Church in Ten Hours.

Peoria, ILL.,, June 1.-The construc-
ton of church in ten hours is one
of the features of Memorial Day here:
The work was started at Z O'Clock
this morning.
There was no hitch; 125 mem
bers of the Mems Brotherhood of the
Central Christian church worked
shoulder to shoulder with the IS
union carpenters. The Rev. W. F..
Turner, pastor of the mission, who
has just returned from two months
leave of absence, took off his coat
and marched the Mems Brotherhood
to the scene under the slogan "a
mans work in a man way; we'll
build church in a single day."
At 6 O'Clock this evening a praise
meeting was held. The church will
be clear of all Indebtedness.

THE CORN EXPOSITION.
Show to be Held in Columbia in
December.

The South Atlantic States corn ex-
position which is to be held in Colum-
bia from December to 8 is attract
ing attention all over the south.
A. D. Hudson, of Newberry, the
president of the exposition, has just
returned from Georgia, where he Sc
cured the cooperation of all of the
papers in that State. Several Geor-
gia papers will offer prizes at the
exposition.
The following in the Atlanta Jour-
nal several days ago, indorsing the
corn exposition, will be of interest:
with a view to improving the
breed and increasing the production
of corn in the South Atlantic States,
q great corn exposition will be held
at Columbia, S. c., December 5-S.
The farmers of North and South Car
olina, Georgia and Florida are invit-
ed to take part. The makers of
farm implements and fertilizer are
asked to lend their aid. A liberal
and varied prize list will be open to
contestants.
s'This will be the first corn expo
sition in the south's history and it
will mark a long stride forward IN
the sections agricultural enterprise.
As a stimulus to diversified sys-
tenn of farming, it's influence will be
particularly strong and opportune.
Cotton has heretofore been not only
the king, but the tyrant of. southern
fields. While it deserves and will
doubtless hold the. pre-eminent place
among our crops, it should not ex-
clude attention from other crops
which are essential to our prosperity
andWell being.
THE southern farm should be,
like the farms of Europe, self-main-
tanning. Until recent years the farm
er of this section has found it neces-
sary to spend the entire proceeds OF
his cotton crop to buy supplies for
the new year-such elemental sup
plies as grain, meat, and hay. This
is plainly wasteful and foolish sys-
tenn. 1t will be discarded as soon as
a widespread and intelligent interest
in corn breeding is bestirred.
ITO arouse such an interest is the
prime object of the South Atlantic
corn exposition. The project is at
once brilliant and useful. 1t is earn
estly to be hoped that Georgia will
be well represented at the exposi-
tion''

her credibility as witness. City
Jailer Foster, Of Spartanburg, was

ESCAPES IN CURIOUS WAY.
Negro Girl Escapes from Orangeburg
Jail Through Sewer.

Through the bars of one of the
windows and down the sewer pipe
which is located at that point is
the story in a nut shell of how the
little negro girl now in jail in this
city on the charge of arson made
her escape. It was not long before
she was missed by Jailer Board,
and he made a hastey search for
her. She could not be located any
where in the city, so Mr.. Board fol-
lowed her in his buggy, and she was
found near the residence of Mr.. T.
A. Fairy in South Broughton street,
and after some difficulty the escape
was back once more in jail but not
with the same leniency as was shown
her before she ran away.
The girl is a mere STRIPPING and
is said to be about 10 or II years Of
age. She was committed to Jail some
days back on the charge Of arson.
On account of her age, the jailer
was not disposed to be as strict as
he would have been with prisoners
who are hardened criminals. The
girl was allowed at times the free
dom of the corridor of the Jail, and
it was during one Of these periods
Of partial freedom that she contriv-
ed the scheme to escape. The graf
ing of the windows was somewhat
wider to the windows in the corri-
dors, but even then it was not sup
posed that the girl would be able to
slip her body pass them. This is
what she did do, however, and it
seems that it was done with compare
tive ease Opening at this window
was large sewer pipe and down this
pipe is how the girl descended to
the ground. She made the descent
in safety, and then all was easy.
She got out into the street, and be-
fore any one in the jail was astir
she was we'll on her way. Jallor
Board on his early morning round
discovered the girl was missing and
he Immediately began a search. She
had not been seen by any one in
the city so it was supposed that she
would endeavor to make her way
back to her home. This road was
followed by Mr.. Board in his bug
gy and it was not long before he
found the girl. She made frantic
effort to get away from him, and did
hide under negro house near the
residence of Mr.. T. A. Farley. But
with some assistance, Mr.. Board
finally got the girl in his buggy and
took her back to jail.-Orangeburg

Tombstone Falls on Little Girl.

Toledo, Ohio, May 31.-Pinned to
the ground by a tombstone which fell
on her as she was arranging flowers
on a grave preparatory to Memorial
Day, Virola Neumann sustained a
broken arm, a dislocated shoulder
and severe internal injuries.
The little girl had accompanied
her mother to The cemetery to aid in
the preparation of the graves. While
thus engaged she was crushed by the
falling tombstone. The mother,
lacking strength to remove the stone,
was obliged to leave her daughter
while she summoned aid. The child's
injuries, although serious are not ia
tai, physicians believe
