LARGE MOVEMENT OF FREIGHT,
Southern Operating Many Trains Be
tween Columbia and Charlotte.

"cch SOiumDta ami Charlotte.
An unusual amount of freight Is
being handled at present by the
Southern railway over the tracks be.
tween Columbia and Charlotte, from
one to three trains passing through
Fort Mill every hour OF the day and
fE'Eht. A railroad man speaking yes
terday of the large volume OF traffic
said that 1t was doubtful whether so
m' ny trains had been operated over
these tracks ut any time since the
read was first opened from Columbia
TO Charlotte on July 4. 1852. 6S years
ago. A considerable part of the
traffic is produce from the lower sec
ton OF the state which is being
carried to Northern markets. The
Enovement of produce is now at its
height and will begin to dwindle ap-
preciably within the next week or
ten days.
The maximum number OF trains
hei etofore operated over this road.
the old Charlotte, Columbia and
Augusta, was during the World war,
when much rolling stock was neces-
sary to move soldiers from place to
place and to transport army sup
plies and munitions of war from one
section to another. but the number
OF trains engaged in that service in
1917 and 1918 did not equal the
number now required to move the
volume of freight consigned to the
road,

Ticket rleascs Democrats.

Writing from Chicago In the Char
lorte Observer of Monday Buck"
BRYANT, who attended the Republi-
can national convention last week.
says:
The show Isl over and the dele
gates are on the way to their respec-
tive States. Democratic leaders are
pleased with the results. They con-
slider the platform and the ticket
weak
The adopotion OF the meaningless
platform and the nomination Of
Harding took all Of the life out OF
the Republican convention. hut the
old guard leaders are satisfied with
the results. Had the plan to give
Senator Lenroot the second place
been carried out Penrose, Smoot,
Mccormick and company would have
been happy. The naming of Coolidge
es a running mate to Harding is con-
sidered a great mistake. Coolidge is
popular but is of the same type of
man as Harding.
Hundreds of delegates are sore
over the results Of their convention.
Leading partisans of the Borah and
johnson groups believe that II will
be hard. II not impossible. to pull,
Harding and Coolidge through. They
realize that the task Is difficult
one. The pill Is bitter.
THE only people really pleased
with the results of the Republicans
are the reactionaries who think that
the country is tired OF 'progressives'
and President Wilson. and wish to re-
tnrn to the peaceful calm and big
business security OF the old days.
Senator Harding's nomination
was a elimination OF plans deep
laid months ago but which had been
abandoned because of the Wood

HAS BETTER PLAN
 THAN BACHELOR TAX

Declared to be a far better plan than that considered by the French govern ment in taxing it's bachelors and mar ried men without children, is that sug- gested by C. M. Zander chairman of the state tax commission, who gath cred the idea on his recent visit to Parker where he was reminded of the governments policy of donating 10 acres to each adult and child on the Colorado Indian reservation
 Why not offer inducement to the stubborn bachelor rather than tax him says Mr. Zander. If the inducement fails, than a heavy penalty should be imposed
 The tax commissioner declares that there are no bachelors among the Mo- have Indians, and the crop of kiddies is increasing rapidly. This he holds is proof positive that the French gov ernment should follow the American custom. He further believes that if the situation here becomes similar to that in France where it is necessary for the government to step in. congress should hold out a promise rather than threaten bachelors.
