Cutter for snage.
There are on the market several

looked by the purchaser. Many per-
sons make the mistake of getting a
cutter which is too small, thus ma
king the operation of filling the silo
very slow and interfering with the
continuous employment of the entire
force of men.
1t is better to get a machine large
enough so that every one will be able
to keep busy all the time. The larger
cutters are equipped with self-feeders,
a labor-saving device which the small
Ter sizes lack Other factors to be
taken into account in purchasing a
cutter are the amount of work to be
done and the power available. OF
course, for the filling of very small
silo it would not be wise to buy a
large machine. Neither would it be
advisable to overload the engine or
motor by using cutter which is too
large for the power available.
Two types Of silage elevators are
In us-the old-style chain carrier and
the blower The chain carrier re-
quires less power, but is harder to set
up and there is more litter when it Is
used, especially in windy weather.
For these reasons the blower is now
fast displacing the carrier.
The blower should be placed as
nearly perpendicular as possible so as
to reduce to the minimum the friction
of the cut corn upon the inside of the
pipe and lessen the danger Of clog
ging.
The usual length of cutting varies
from one-half to inch. The latter is
considered little too long, since
pieces of this length will neither pack
so closely in the silo nor be so com.
pletely consumed when fed as the
shorter lengths. On the other hand
the longer the pieces the more rapidly
can the corn be run through the cut
ter.

COMPLICATED CASE

Though Oscar Sargeant, charged
with arson, Hnd Frank Simmons
charged with being an accessory ca
the crime, have been released on bail
by the magistrate at PelzeT. Gus Sim
mons, who was brought here yestor-
day rom Savannah upon q warrant
charging him with having aided in the
burning OF the building in question,
was refused bail when his application
Was placed before Magistrate w. C.
BroadwelI yesterday.
Magistrate Broadwell took the no
position that he is without jurisdiction
In granting bond in a case wherein
the charges constitute felony. Ap-
plication for bail In case of this
character, he argued, has to be made
before a circuit Judge. Having been
refused bond, the defendant was re-
manded to the county jail. .
The case involving the arrest of
three young white men In connection
with the burning Of an establishment
known, as Simmons Bros. Cafe at
Fslzer, over a yaar ago, has attracted
considerable interest not only In An

where all three defendants are known.

Saturday Of last week Oscar Sargeant

should earn, was being steadily en-
croached upon: yet 1t was upon this
surplus that the railroads depended

Haiifoad Shippers In Anderson have
paid considerable attention to the pro-
posed 5 per cent. advance ON the mart
OF carrying companies In the United
States and many OF them have re-
quested additional inforInation from
the Anderson Chamber OF Commerce
as TO why certain railroads deemed
this necessary. The following excerpt
from an address delivered by George
d. Dixon, vice president In charge of
trafic Of the Pennsylvania railroad
gives a pretty clear idea OF how. the
railroad looks at the proposition:
I'm order clearly to understand
the meaning of the 8 par cent. advance
rate case now awaiting decision by the
Interstate Commerce Commission, Il
should be borne in mind that the abb.
normal conditions brought about by
the European war did not constitute
the primary justification for the rail-
roads application.
ut was the fundamental nm
soundness --war or no war
that had been previously shown to
exist In the railroad industry that
was responsible for this effort of tho
railroads to obtain additional reve-
nues. y -
The Territory Covered.
"The pending case covers all freight
rates In what is known as ofscial
classification territory. that is, the re-
gfor between the Mississippi river.
and north OF the Ohio and Potomac
rivers. This territory embraces. three
rates structures. one, known as Gem
tral Freight Association, covering the
region between the Mississippi and
Buffalo end Pittsburgh; seother
known as Trunk Line Tefritory, be-
tween Buffalo and Pittsbuy h and the
Hudson River and the Atlantic Sea-
board; and o. third, known as New
England territory.
.'The revenues Of 35 railroad srs-
TENS. are involved. These companies
represent a total Investment in rail-
road property OF over $500 million
dollars. Their. total annual freight
revenues are about 1000 million dol.
lars. An advance of 3 per cent. in
their freight earnings would mean
some S50.000,000 per year. or about
s1.00 per year for each person living
In the territory involved.
shall confine myself at this time
10 presenting to you reasons why the
management of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road System felt that higher freight
rates were necessary. ,if the PennsyI-
yania System was to be in, q position

Vice and to develop with the needs
ofithe people whom It served.

as to whether there should be an In
