The fact is, DR.. ]. G. Boozer and Mr..

SEEMS VERY STRANGE

Secretary Rooney this morning re-
ceived a letter from E. E. Clark,
chairman of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, in regard to express
rates. The subject matter of the let
ter is mostly the same as that in the
dispatch to the state railroad COM
mission, which is printed on the first
page of today's issue, but Mr..
Rooney asks the Star to emphasize
the following passages:
THE commission, as you doubtless
know, conducted a most searching
investigation into the matter of ex-
press rates and practices.
Our records show that the Southern
Express Company has withdrawn it's
commodity rates on vegetables which
were lower than second class rates
prescribed by US, thus establishing,
effective Feb. LIST, the second class
rates which this commission has
found to be the reasonable maximum
rates We have called
THESE IdleS 10 lne dtl0lHIOll VI Tie
Southern Express Company and have
impressed upon them THE great
damage which may result to the
Florida producers, in the hope that
we may be able to secure an informal
adjustment of the matter"
Mr.. Rooney voices the sentiment
of the people of this section when he
says that it is strange 8that this
sweeping Investigation was carried
on without the people Of such a
large territory so vitality interested
hearing anything about it. It looks
very like it was gumshoed thru.
Mr.. Clarks statement that the
Southern Express Company had
withdrawn its commodity rate or
vegetables throws the blame On thai
company, which is trying to put il

preston here that his political in
fiuence is evil. II may be a mistaken
impression, but it is a strong one.
The Star would advise that the
state democratic executive commit
tee meet at once and reaffrm the old
rule that only white men shall vote
in the democratic primary. If any
candidate tries to have the rule set
aside, his act, unless the Star mis-
takes, will be his political damnation.
1t. should also cause his social os-
tracism. Because, if negroes are to
vote in democratic primaries, the
South will go right back to the old
trouble of forty years ago.
Does any man who loves his state
want to see any more of it?
The Metropolis prints the follow
ing about the matter:
The registration list is to be in
vestigated. 1t is alleged that ne
groes are being registered to vote in
the June primaries as democrats.
For this reason at j. c. Crawford S
office in the Atlantic Bank building
a meeting of the citizens commit
tee is to be called for Monday night
to arrange for house-to-house can
vass Of the city to ascertain who is
who, and what is what in this regis
tration. 1t is alleged that from some
negro huts as many as seven persons
have been registered and that the
lodging house and hotel population is
being swelled all out of proportion.
The committee is expected to employ
detectives to investigate all the
names, making a house to house can
vass and to ascertain why so many
changes in the places of registration
and the registration officers have
been made. 1t is predicted that
some interesting facts will be
brought forth.

THEY HAVE TIED
THEIR OWN HANDS

Judging by the telegram from the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
printed on the first page, that body
finds itself unable to change express
rates in time to help southern truck
and fruit growers. They have pass
ed rules that, if the express compan-
les take advantage of them, can be
made a means of extortion on the
people of this section, and it seems
like the companies have taken that
advantage
From the evidence at hand, the
Star is inclined to think that the
Southern Express Company is not to
blame Enforcement of the rules
viii decrease its revenue, for all over
the country the growers will get, to-
gether where they can and ship in
carloads by fast freight. In this they
will be aided by the railroads, for
strange to say, the railroads don't
like the express companies much bet
ter than the people do.
vi course, tnefe are many IOca-
tions where the growers can't ship
by the carload, and if they ship at
loss, they will quit shipping. This
will be rough on them, but rough
er on the express companies. The
fruit and vegetable growers will live
thru it for a season, and before an
other season the large and somewhat
coarse hand of your Uncle Sam will
reach out and seize the express bus
mess by the back of it's neck.
The managers of the express COM
panies may amend their rates them
the worst set of fools ever in charge
of modern business.

FOR THE LEGISLATURE

Mr.. L. S. Light, who was promi-

Saturday afternoon, informed the
Star that he would not run for Con-

legislature. The Star thinks this is
a wise decision on Mr.. Lights part.
Possibly he could carry Marion

his success in enough of the other
counties to elect him.

WASHINGTON. August 5.-Ameri-
can army officers think In the cam
paign through Belgium lies Germany's
only hope OF marching her soldiers
into France. Even allowing for the
necessity of crushing the Belgian
army, experts here regard this as the
most feasible point of attack.
For nearly forty years French en-
gineers have labored in concentrating
Notifications, including great revolv-
ing turrets like those OF n Dread
nought. that virtually cover every
mile OF the frontier between France
and Germany and south of Belgium.
Army engineers believe these defenses
are invulnerable except as against an
army vastly outnumbcring the French
forces.
The American axiom is that one SOL
der behind such defenses as the French
have erected is equal TO four in the
attacking army. This ratio OF effec-
tive defensive and offensive power
! might be greatly reduced by systematic
volve much time and would interfere
with the supposed German plans for n
dash into Paris.
Therefore. the beginning of the cam
palgn in Belgium had been expected
here. The belief Is that the Belgians.
for the present. will confine themselves
to obstructive tactics, losing no oppor-
tunty to harass the advancing Ger
=, man army. and. If possible, to cut. its
lines of communication.
While this is going on, American
strategists believe, the French forces.
numerous in the neighborhood of
Rheims, will come 10 ,the aid of the
Belgians
Thus, 1T was suggested o-niEht,
within one year OF a century after the
defeat OF Napolean at Waterloo, the
Germans and French and Belgians
again may come together in a desper-
ate and decisive battle in almost the
same theatre of war.

in various places were regarded as
precursors of many similar events.
Naval strategists point the lesson of

Germany has weakened her position
by disposing naval vessels far and

against the outbreak of n sudden war.

drafted by Secretary Bryan, which
were reported favorably by the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relation to-day.
Action was taken at this time with
the hope of eXertinG a moral influence

treaties would provide an international
commission to investigate causes of dis
putes within period of six months
or more before resorting 10 arms.
The President and Mr.. Bryan waited
