both the State and the Railway Com.
pany testified that the claims of the
railroad were sustained by the facts
TWO cents did not pay the cost OF
carrying passenger a mile. The
State, however, contended that the
railroad was earning enough surplus

fair return upon the capital used in
Its passenger as we'll as it's freight

case, the railroad did not DENY this.

senger business for rate fixing with
out allowing a rate that would be
suf11cient to pay the cost of doing
business and enough to give some
return upon the capital invested in
doing tho business regulated. This
was the Issue presented to the Su-
preme Court. It's decision responds
to the Judgment OF the fair-minded
sentiment OF the country. The Su-
preme Court says that, even though
q railroad earns a surplus on a par
tcnlar commodity by charging rea-
sonable rates, that affords no reason
for compelling it to haul another's
person or property for less than cost.
The surplus from a reasonable rate
properly belongs to the railway COM
pany. II the surplus is earned from
an unreasonable rate then that rate
should be reduced. The State may
not even up by requiring the railroad
to carry other traffic for nothing or
for less than cost.
The decision is a wholesome ore
and demonstrates that the ordinary
rules OF fair dealing apply to railway
companies. The fact that one makes
"a surplus ON his wheat crop would
never be urged as a reason for COM
peiling him to sell his cotton at less
than cost. 1t would not satisfy the
man who wanted bread to be told
that its high price enabled the cotton
manufacturer to get his raw product
for less than cost. In this case the
court reaffirmed the homely maxim

states have two cent passenger rate
and whatever loss is incurred is recoy-
cred through freight revenue. The JUS
tice OF such procedure was recently
passed upon by the Supreme Court
or West Virginia and the decision is
SO far-reaching that we have asked
l.. e. johnson, president Of the Nor
folk and Western Railway whose road
contested the case to briefly review
the suit. Mr.. Johnson said in part:
Some ten years ago, passenger
fares were fixed by the legislatures
OF large number of states at two
cents a mile. AS a basis for such
economic legislation, no examination
was made Of the cost of doing the
business 80 regulated, nor was any
attention given to the fact whether
such rate would yield to the rail-
way companies an adequate or any
net return upon the capital invested
in conducting this class Of business.
Such a law was passed in West
Virginia In 1907. The Norfolk and
Western Railway Company put the
rate into effect and maintained it for
two years. It's accounting during
these two years showed that two
cents mile per passenger barely
paid the out-of-pocket cost and moth
ing was left to pay any return on
capital invested. 1t sought relief from
the courts. Expert accountants for

Hail Insurance in Strong Com

The Home Fire Insurance
company, of New York, the
strongest company of the kind
in the country has added a line
of hail insurance for crops to
their business and the Pageland
Insurance and Realty Company
has the agency for this company.
Hail insurance heretofore has
not been very satisfactory
for the reason that only small
or local companies carried it,
and in case Of general destruc-
ton the company could not
pay the damage and remain in
bSsiness. This strong company,
with millions capital, can pay
for all the damage that is likely
to occur in several states, how
ever, and anyone who insures
his crop against hail with this
company may feel sure that the
company will be able to pay
the damage. The cost is small
and nearly every man can have
his crop protected by insurance
if he will. Mr.. A. +. Funder-
burk will be glad to discuss the

Horses and mules need water
more than three times a day
when they are at work in the
field or on the road these long,
hot days. Very few men work
half a day without water, and
horses should not be required to
do SO. They should be unhitch-
ed and carried to wafer at least
once between morning and
noon, and between noon and
night. The horse, or mule, is a
very faithful animal and very
necessary one. The man who
mislreats him will have to
answer for it before the Judge of
all the earth. Do not overwork
him or get him too hot, a thing
very easy to do at this season.
Do not feed, much new oats or
other green feed and expect
your horse to work and thrive.
Your horse IS one of YOUR best
friends. Treat him as one.

The death sentence of Leo M.
-EFaHlsf the murder of Mary
Phagan in a pencil factory in
Atlanta about two years ago
was commuted to life imprison-
ment by Governor Slaton Mon
day and Frank was taken at
once to the state prison at Mil.
ledgeville where he began serv-
ing his sentence. When the
news was given out there were
demonstrations in the streets of
Atlanta against the governor
and the police had hard time
in dispensing the mobs. Mon
day night several hundred men
marched out to the home of
Governor Slaton and attempted
to break through the front gates,
but were checked by barbed
wire entanglements and a dozen
or more armed deputies. The
governor then called out the
state MALTA to protect him from
the mob. Martial law was pro-
claimed in a district half a mile
by one mile about the home of
the governor and the MALTA.
men were stationed with bayo-
nets The crowd gradually dis
persed.
In Marietta, the former home
OF the murdered girl, and in
Newman the governor was
burned in effigy. In Newman
images of the governor and
Frank were hanged, and later
were cut down, set on fire and
dragged blazing through the
streets.
Frank had exhausted everv
other means of escape from his
sentence open to him.
Solicitor General Dorsey, who
prosecuted Frank, issued a
statement in which he declared
that the action of Gov. Slaton
multiplying the judgements of the
State and federal courts and
overriding the recommendations
OF the State board of pardons
was Unprecedented" He added
that no defendant in his recol.
lection had had the benefit of
more appeals to both the State
and federal courts.

POLITICAL PRAYER MEETINGS

the church bells call the communicates
together for a political prayer meet
ing. Such gatherings mark the high
tide \of religious political fanaticism,
put bitterness into the lives of men;
fan the flames of class hatred and de-

meetings is anarchistic. un.Christlike
