Some twenty years ago there was
organized society for the preven-
ton of cruelty to animals here. The
institution has not been made promi-
nent, indeed, many have forgotten
that there was ever such an organi-
zation here. But it is here, and there
is work for it to do. The cruel and
brutal treatment being given stock
by some of the drivers of delivery
wagons is disgrace to a civilized
community, and it is to be hoped that
some steps will be taken to put such
characters into the hands of the law.

MEMORANDUM OF FACTS
Concerning the Intra-State Freight
Rate Matter.

The South Carolina public faces a
most serious situation with respect
to it's freight rates, and the hearing
before the Railroad Commission in
Columbia on the 14th inst will un-
doubtedly determine the future pol
icy of the State towards the rail-
roads.
The State of North Carolina has,
in the past, waged a continuous and
successful campaign against the rail-
roads for a more equitable adjust
ment of freight rates from the West
and in addition, by recent act
passed by the legislature of North
Carolina, called into special session
to consider the North Carolina rates,
a reduction of about 33 1-3 per cent
in the intra-state rates in North Car
olina was ordered This order has
been suspended temporarily, pending
an investigation by special COM
mission appointed by the Legislature,
to give the railroads a chance to
show cause why that scale should not
be made effective, or to what extent
the reductions named therein should
be modified.
The rates to points in North Car
olina from the West are now between
70 and 80 per cent of the rates to
points in South Carolina, and the dis
tances via the southern lines are less
as whole, to points in South Caro-
lima, than, to points in North Caro-
lima.
The State of North Carolina at
present, has scale of rates in opera
tion over the trunk lines, that is
about 80 per cent of the intra-state
rates in South Carolina, and if the
rates passed by the legislature of
North Carolina go into. effect, their
rates will be about Sd per cent of the
rates within the State of South Car
olina.
AS a matter of fact, the State of
South Carolina produces greater net
revenue on traffic within the State
than does North Carolina, and be-
cause of the higher rates inbound
from the West, the rates within the
State of South Carolina should be
less than in North Carolina, if there
is to be any difference at ali.

one of lively satisfaction The sue
eosses, II is admitted, do not mean
that the battle has been won, but
ne gain of forty miles on the Ger

Their line of communications and
must cause, il is considered, a de-

As yet there Is no indication that

frontier will be able to get through
Ia help the main force at last &C
counts reported that Maubeuge was

had been placed hors du combat. The
tall of this place might have a great
bearing ON the result of the battle In
fnening a ready means of communi-
on.
s me critics say that even if Maui
falls that route will not become
cable for mt least two days and

ffa be of any practical use, exceIt

FEAR FOR SAFETY
Of MONTCLA|R MAN
Friends Worried About Frank
F. Gray, Who Has Failed to
Return from Europe.

The Soy scouts u Montclair re-
opened their headquarters in Madi-
son building, Bloomfield avenue,
Montclair. last night. a social gath
ering was given and was attended By
about 125 parents and friends OF the
scouts.
1t was expected that Scout Com
missioner nix +. Gray, who has
been in Europe SINCE the beginning
Of August, would reach Monfciair
last night. and the scouts and friends
we're prepared to give him a royal re-
oeption. He did not reach Montclalr
however. and his whereabouts seems
now TO be somewhat of a mystery. A
postal card had been received from
Mr.. Gray last Friday stating that he
would sail ON the Canadian steamer
Tyrolia for Quebec, on August %,
and would reach Montclair last
Wednesday or last night. The steamer
reached Quebec last Tuesday, but no
word has been since received from
Mr.. Gray.
II is not known whether Mr. Gray
missed the steamer or whether he has
remained over to visit relatives In
Canada, of which he has several there.
Mr.. Gray. however, is 80 methodical
that his friends believe he would have
informed them IL he had reached
Canada.
While his friends are not alarmed
they are quite uneasy at his absence,
and il he does not turn UP today or
word received from him, an Inquiry
will be begun.

In building the trap nest Scflaefer
proposes to use the large box FOR the

have a soft covering, so that when
