INCREASED RATES
CONTRARY TO LAW
STATE HAS AUTHORITY IN IN
TRASTATE TRAFFIC.
Wolfe Gives Opinion.
Railroad Commission Can Not Per-
nit Intrastate Passenger Rates
Over Three Cents Per Mile.

The increase in intrastate passenger
rates, which the South Carolina rail-
roads are expected to ask from the
state railroad commission, can not be
granted according to Samuel NJ.
Wolfe, attorney general. Such an in
crease, Attorney General Wolfe says,
would be a violation of state law,
which provides that the state railroad
commission shall not permit a pass
enger rate on intrastate traffic in ex-
cess of three cents per mile. The
present fares have already reached
this limit and the proposed increase
therefore can not be granted.
No formal request for the increase
in intrastate rates had been received
by the railroad commission up to last
night, but members of the commits
sion, in preparation for action on the
request when it is made, conferred
with tne attorney general yesterday
Mr.. Wolfe giving it as his opinion that
in the absence of further legislation
the commission can not permit a
passenger rate in intrastate traffic in
excess of three cents per mile. The
interstate commerce commission
might in a war emergency assume
control of intrastate traffic, the at
torney general thought, but under
normal conditions the regulation OF
such traffic and conditions was en-
tirely in the hands Of the state au-
thorities.
Hearings on the increases in both
passenger and freight rates in intra'
state traffic will be held by the rail
road commission when requested b!
the companies, according to H. H
Arnold member of the commission
The increase in passenger rates, Mr
Arnold, said. would be refused, since
under the ruling of the attorney gen
eral the commission is without au
thority to grant it. There still re-
mains, however, he pointed out, ar

commission before whom the
roads might argue that the actor

NECK BROKEN BY
BLOW With PISTOL
MIKE CORBETT KILLED IN VERY
STRAGE MANNER.
Near Springfield.
Said That Companion in Car Tried to
Make Him Stop Singing-Hit
Him With Weapon.

Springfield, Aug. ,16.-A coroner's
Jury returned verdict holding that
Mike Corbett, whose body was car
ried to Salley in an automobile yester-
day by four men, came to his death
by wound on the back of his neck
inflicted by Joe Higgins.
The dead body of Mike Corbett, a
farmer As years old, who lives about
six miles from here, was carried to
the town of Salley yesterday after
noon in an automobile by Thos. Her
ron, Joe Higgins and Rubin Schofield.
The occupants of the car stated, it is
said, that they had found the body
in the public road few miles from
Salley. Upon close questioning, it is
stated, their stories conficted and
these three, with a son of Thomas
Heron, who was also in the automo-
bile, were placed in custody and sepa-
rately questioned at an inquest held
over the body by the coroner of Aiken
county today.
The young Heron boy testified that
they were all out riding in the car
and that Higgins asked Corbett to
stop singing, which he refused to do.
Thereupon Higgins, it is said, struck
him on the back of his neck with a
revolver and Caused Corbett to fall
over in the foot of the car. When he
made no effort to reseat himself they
examined him and found that he was
dead. An examination revealed that
Corbett's neck was broken and his
skull fractured.
According to the testimony all the
occupants of the car were under the
influence of intoxicants. The jury
found that Corbett came to his death
by a wound on the back of the neck
inflicted at the hands of Joe Hug
gins. Higgins, Heron and Schofielo
have been lodged in the Aiken jail
Mike Corbett leaves a widow and
three children.

M31LAR DEMOCRACY CAMPAIGN
Every Democrat Asked to Give at
Least 81 to National Campaign.

The Dollar Democracy campaign is
making excellent progress according
to reports reaching state headquart-
ers. The organization of the cam
paign to secure funds for the election
of Cox and Roosevelt has been COM
pleted in "a of the 46 counties. Re-
ports received from Gen. Willie
Jones, state treasurer Of the party,
indicates that several thousand dol
lars have already been contributed by
loyal Democrats. Contributions have
been received from practically every
county in the state.
Thos. P. Cothran, state chairman
of the executive committee, is anx-
ious for the canvass for funds to be
completed as soon as possible. Mr..
Cothran in a statement issued calls
attention to the fact that a great
amount of money will be needed for
the national campaign and that it is
the duty of every Democrat IN South
Carolina to contribute as much as
one dollar. Of course larger sub
scriptions will not be refused.
Reports received from natlonal
headquarters are very encouraging
and there is every hope of party sue
cess. The Republicans it is pointed
out will spend large amounts or
money in on effort to carry all doubt

Middletown." No doubt Hodges was
smoking a pipe at the moment. He
usually was. "Got a clean scoop for
us. Held the wire, too. What do you
think of him."
That early morning bitterness had
passed away from Allison by that
time. He no longer remembered the
Injustice to which he had been sub
iected in sending him away from rest
and recreation-at that scandalous-
" early morning hour, but recalled
the alertness Of the young reporter.
He told about'it:
eve given him chance to come
down here,' said Hodges. '1t's up to
him to make good.'
Cox became the railway reporter IN
Cincinnati. Railway reporters IN
those days usually walked several
thousand miles a week and talked
mostly to brakemen. Now and then
this was a long time ago and as ma
tion we lacked the high and mighty
notions we have nowadays-a railway
reporter got a pass from some one
and then sold that pass to some one.
Oddly enough it was the railroads who
most bitterly complained when the
pass issuing privilege was taken away
from them. Allison remembers that a
friend had a pass on the Queen and
Crescent, which was in constant use
when there was racing on at New
Orleans.
"The railroad never complained,
said he. until some one tried to car
ry horse on it,
Cox would not graft passes and sell
them. He did what few other rail-
way reporters had done at that time'
and managed to get into the private
Offices of the presidents and treasurers
and directors of the railroads and talK
to them. Then they asked him to come
back. He became very live news
gatherer, thereby confirming the Judg-
ment of Hodges and Allison. At this
point Theodore Mitchell, now the
chief agent by which the D. W. Grlf'
fifth filming company takes the public
into it's confidence, may be introduced
and sworn.
"Jim Faulkner brought me down tc
Cincinnati" said he, "and gave me
lob on the Enquirer. The most Vlvlo
impression I have of my first nlgh'
was of walking into Charlie Hodges
office and of seeing Jimmy Cox sit on
Hodges's desk and swing his legs ano
talk confdentially to the editor. Tha'
was a great occasion for me, you un'
derstand."

YEGGNIEN ROB POSTOFFICE.
$40. 900 in Currency Obtained at Fair
mount, n. G.

Paramount, N. c., Aug. 11.-Yegg-
men robbed the postoffice here early
this morning of $4,000 in currency
and several hundred dollars in post
age stamps. The money belonged to
the Bank of Fairmount, having been
sent by insured mail. People near the
building we're awakened by the ex-
plosion and when they ran out the
robbers ordered them to retreat,
which they did, when several shots
we're fired. The robbers escaped in a
stolen automobile, which they aban-
doned a mile from town.

TRY TO ARRESTCOX
PARTY FORSPEEDlNC
PLAN By REPUBLICANS TO EN-
BARRASS GOVERNOR.
Much Rest for Candidate.
Senator Owen Confers With Nominee
Regarding Alleged impaiement
Of Federal Reserve Act.

Columbus, Aug. 15.-An unsuc-
cessful attempt to arrest Governor
Cox and his party for speeding and a
harmless accident to one OF the cars
of newspaper men accompanying him
furnished excitement today in the
motor trip of the Democratic Presl-
Dental candidate returning from
WheeliLg
The attempt to arrest the Governor
and his party was declared by Roy
E. Legion, Adjutant General of Ohio,
who accompanied the governor, to
have been planned b. Republicans to
embarrass the Democratic nominee.
Gen. Legion said a warning OF the
plan had been received yesterday
At Jacksontown, Ohio, about II
miles east of Columbus, the Governor
and his party .'ode slowly throu5h,
diregarding outstretched arms OF a
shirt-sleeve man, and also a large
group of persons gathered thele.
Within few minutes two motorcycle
officers stopped the cars Of the gov
ernor and press correspondents, de-
claring all under arrest and demand
ing their return to JacksontoWn. Gov
ernor Cox identified himself, but the
officers said they had orders from
Jacksontown authorities to arrest all
four automobiles of the party no
matter who they contained en-
charges of speeding.
Cars Ordered to Proceed.
'You can reach me at the execu-
tive Office at Columbus any time, y
Governor Cox replied, ordering all
the cars to proceed and leaving the
officers busy taking down car num-
bers on the fly.
Soon afterwards, during a heavy
doWnpour and in a jam of automo-
biles on a slippery road, one OF the
correspondents cars was forced up an
embankment and on an lnterurDan
road bed, partially overturning, to
avoid striking other cars ahead. Oc-
cupants were shaken up but craWled
out uninjured and were brought here
in the Governors car.
Despite the two incidents, the gov
ernor obtained much rest on the ride
from Wheeling where he concluded a
series of five addresses last night.
West Virginia Democrats who accom-
panied the governor expressed pleas
ure with the vigor of his attacks upon
the Republicans, especially with his
charge that Senator Harding proposes
a separate peace with Germany.
Feels Sure of Bryan Support.
Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, a
friend of William j. Bryan, and a
candidate for the presidential nomi-
nation at San Francisco, arrived here
today to confer with Governor Cox.
Senator Owen said he was not an
emissary of Mr.. Bryan but felt sure
the Nebraskan would support the
party ticket. His conference tonight
with Governor Cox, according to the
senator, was to give information sup
porting Governor CoX's statements
that plans have been laid to impair
the federal reserve act.
Senator Owen declined to make
public his information. He also dis
cussed other financial subjects with
the candidate.

they will again have disappeared and
gone into the ground to pupate, from
which in about ten uays later the
moths or millers will appear again,
and if weather is favorable and forage

States entomologist of the COLUMBIA
office. "However, as a rule the third
generation does very little damage,
partly from the fact that plants by
then are maturing rapidly and getting
too tough for the worms to eat,' Mr..
Luginbill adds.
considerable damage has been
done bv this generation of worms, not
only in this state but in other south
ern states as we'll. The damage done
was mostly to young corn, sorghum
and grass growing in pea fields and
in some cases the peas themselves
were quite badly cut. Reports have
come in that the worms were DAM
aging cotton considerably, and after
Investigation it was found that the
grass growing between the rows OF
cotton was recently plowed up: The
worms had been feeding on this grass,
and when destroyed they went to the
cotton. Injury to cotton consists prl-
marily in cutting leaves and branches
though some farmers claim that they
ate the blooms and bored considerably
in bolls, although it is quite possible
that they confused this worm with
the boil Worm," Mr.. Luginbill says.
Farmers should avail themselves
of the opportunity of getting ac-
ouainted with this worm. 1t is here
every year, some years more abundant
than others. This year they have
been more abundant than any year
since 1912. Other years they ap-
peared in injurious numbers only in
spots. This worm is not the cotton
armv worm that had been so destruc-
tive to cotton in 1911, nor is 1t the
true army worm, which perlodlcall!
appears and wreaks havoc to crops.
This worm does not as rule marcn
or move in a fixed direction, like the
other two army worms, but rather
spreads out from an infested grass
area when the grass is eaten in all dl-
rections. 1t is primarily a grass

Everyone should learn to dlstln-

of this pest in the form OF enemies
which prey on the worms. The most
important one at this time is t1y re-

These eggs can be seen by the unalded
eye. They appear about the size OF a

to Mr.. Luginbill.

CHAPTER SEVEN.
Barbarism.
LOWER AGE.

The epoch OF barbarsm, like that OF savagery, is
divided into three well definted ages, Lower, Middle
and Upper.
The lower age of barbarism begins with the dis
covery of the art Of pottery-making.
Pottery-malcing evidently grew out of the art OF
weaving as evidenced in the more primitive pottery
found in the ruins of the Cliff Dweers of Mesa Verde
and also in the ruins of the ancient Puebos Here pots
are found that plainly show the weave of the basket
work in the clay Certain Indian tribes at the present
time weave water-tght baskets, and smear them with
nud for cooking purposes This practice undoubtedly
led to the discovery Of the art of firing clay.
The economic need for the invention of pottery is
to be found i'm the fact that when the wandered
away from the streams it became necessary to have
means whereby water could be carried
The development of pottery, like the development
of all other utilities varied with topographic and cmat
ic conditions as for example the Eskimo develop
ed basketweaving pottery making owing to the alb
smce of the raw material necessary to these arts.
Among other reasons for the development of the
art of pottery may be mentioned the need for vessels in
which to preserve FRUITS fats oils and other liquid and
semi-liquid food.
It lis probable that the art of making wine developed
in this age Food and especially fruit being kept in
earthen vessels would naturally ferment producing al

Ihe tools OF this age were mostly OF polished stone
distinguished from the rough unpublished stone of
former ages. Implements Of native copper shaped by
beating, are also found. Bone likewise used a
material for tools, such spear heads and fish
hooks, avis and needles.
Hammers, axes, cutting and fleshng tools, spears
and rude cooking utensils the foremost tools OF this
age. An illustration Of the materiast conception OF
