ALLOWS INCREASE OF R. R. RATES.

Authority for the railroads of the
country to increase their revenues
by approximately one billion and a
half dollars was granted last Sat-
urday, July 81 by the interstate
commerce commission. Freight
rates will be advanced about one
third, passenger fares one-iifth and
Pullman charges one-half.
Coastwisc and inland steamship
lines and electric railway :ompan-
les also were granted per, .,ission
10 increase their freight rates in
proportion to the increases grant,
ed TO the railroads serving IT,. same
territory. No estimate if IT, aggre-
gate amount to result from these
advances has been made.
The new rates which arc to con-
tinue in force until March 1, 1922,
will become effective upon five
days notice by the carriers TO the
commission and the public. and
they must be in operation before
January 1. Since the Government
guarantee expires September /, the
carriers are expected to tend every
effort to put the advances into ef-
feet by that date.
Increases granted by the commits
sion are designed to offset the 5000
100000 wage advance awarded by
the railroad labors board and to
provide the six per cent income on
the aggregate value of the railroad
properties as permitted under the
transportation act. The value of
all of the railroads was estimated
by the commission at $4,000, O,OOO,-
900, as against book value ofs$2O,-
O4O,0O0,0O given by the carriers.

PAPERS STARVED.

Tb, paper shortage, which last
.o,r forced more than 1900 Ameri-
csn newspapers and periodicals out

fol, with no relief in sigth.

"In my opinion, not half of the
country press, numbering 10000

This falls far short of supplying
The increasing demand. The de-
nand normally increases 5 per
rent il year. In 1919 it increased
I14 per cent. The situation is that
five pounds of newsprint paper are
needed for every four pounds now
being produced.
How this shortage is boosting
prices is illustrated at the govern
ncnt printing plant, which is now
asked TO pay Ii 1-2 cents a pound
for the same paper it bought for
3 ~ cents pound in 1917.
In the first quarter of 1925 the
output of rs leading newsprint
paper mills was only 1890 tons.
as compared with an output of 15,-

Despite high prices, orders for
100000 tons of newsprint paper
went begging last year.

NUMBER 2
NEW CROP OF MILLIoNAIRES.

From a recent copy of the Char
lesion Gazette we clip this:
Charleston may have a new crop
of millionoires in the near future
that is unless Attorney General A.
Michel Palmer and his committee
fix minimum price of bituminous
coal.
All coal operators during the pres
ent market are said to be making
money and some of them are fast
becoming rich.
The price on a ton of coal varies
from $3.50 to $14 in this district;
probably the, average on coal not
sold on contract is close to $3.50.
The same coal was going begging
at prices of from 1925 to $500
about IL months ago, or in the
spring of 1919.
The cost of mining coal is scarce
ly more than So ton in the most
expensive mines. When an opera
tor loads a 5O-ton car it can be
seen that he should make at least
SOU If it is not sold under con-
tract, and if he is not afraid of be-
ing indicted by federal authorities.
OF course some operators are en-
ttlrely tied up by contracts and
have but little spot coal Others,
rather than run the chance of in
dlctments and unfavorable public
ity are not selling their coal at
more than S5 ton.
But others more courageous than
the rest. it was pointed out are
selling coal for what bidders are
willing to pay, and some of them
seem to be willing to pay high
prices. For. this reason, Charles
ton will probably have a new crop
OF mllllonaires, much to the annoy
ance of the first families.

FINE FOSSIL FOUND.

When b. E. Smith, lumberman,
returned from his plant near
Pence Springs, Summers County,
he brought with him a large fossil
toothe found by boy on Hungarts
Greek. The fossil was sticking Out
bank where it had been exposed
by the erosion of the stream. 1t
was about four feet from The top
of the ground.
The tooth was pretty easily j.
Identified as that of a megati,crium.
on animal of !he sloth family, liv-
ing in the Plcistocene age. which
IS the age immediately preceding
the time when vestiges of men be-
gin.
This prehistoric brute was a low,
heavy set animal, about sixteen feet
high, weighing some ten or twelve
tons. 1t fed on trees and timber
and the tooth shows that it was
made expressly for manufacturing
wood pulp. 1t could walk like q
man and it used its powerful fore
paws for the purpose of ullinp
down small trees in the course of
its feeding.
Many specimens have been found
both i'll North and South America
and from the bones the animal has
been restored and it is exhibited
In such museums as the Smith
sOnian.
II would not be bad idea TO ex-
plore at the place the toc:h was
found to see if thera or, ,,,.o
homes there, but the fact that it was
1ound in creek bank would indi-
cate that the chances are that it
was washed down in the aluviaI
deposit from the original resting
