COMMISSION DENIES PULLMAN FARE AND
 ORE FREIGHT RAISE
(Continued from Page onel

commission acted independently of the interstate commerce commission and de l. nied portions of the petition which were intended to give the railroads & great increase in revenue. For instance. the refusal to permit the increase on iron ore and limestone consigned to the industrial group will prevent the col- lection of a large amount of revenue. The denial of the 50 per cent surchargs for Pullman Fares will also materially decrease the revenue.
 Many persons are wondering if this decision will cause any action on the part of the interstate commerce com mission. One argument of the rail roads was that a failure to grant tho the increases on intrastate traffic would mean burden on interstate commerce and if such a burden be placed on in- terstate commerce the interstate com merce commission has the right to low CT the interstate rates or require the raising of the intrastate rates.
 Members of the public service com mission have made thorough investi- gation during the past month and are convinced that they have authority under the Esch- -Cummns law to issue the order which they promulgated Sat urday. The decision will force the rail- roads to make some revisions in their tariffs They had already been granted permission to make temporary increase as requested in the petition except on iron ore, coal coke and limestone.
 Atticus Mullin, secretary of the com mission, today announced that he was in error Friday in stating that the pub lie service commission had divided the work into bureaus. His previous state ment was that President S. P. Ken nedy would handle details with refer ence to the securities commission. B. H. Cooper would look after transporta- tion, and E. P Gaillard would be head of the public utilities work. B. H. Cooper, associate commissioner, also stated that the announcement of the assignment of the duties of tho com mission was an error.

COTTON DELIVERIES
TROUBLE GERMANY
Government Aid In America and
Holding Cause Apprehension.

Bremen, Dec. 12.-Rumors receiv-
ed here that the American govern
ment may assist the cotton growers
in the United States to hold their
crops and that the growers will limit
their acreage next year are attracting
much attention among Bremen cot
ton merchants. A representative of
the merchants told the Associated
Press today that the output of Ger
man cotton mills now was about so
per cent. normal, but was greatly
hampered by the fuel shortage.
The greatest activity in the cotton
industry is in south Germany, where
water power is available. Mill own
ers have pooled their interests and
arel operating a limited number of
mills on full time rather than all of
them on part time. The merchants
say the mills have bought all the cot
ton needed for spring and most of
the supply necessary to cover their
summer needs. Consequently there
are only a few emergency sales.
There is general complaint among
the merchants about the failure of
Americans to deliver cotton prompt
ly, because of steamer delays which
are said to be due to the limited oil
supply and poor steamers.
AS the Bremen exchange forbids
dealing in futures and requires spot
deliveries, merchants have been
greatly inconvenienced by the Failure
of cotton to arrive at the time prom
ised. They frequently must buy to
supply orders with a loss in ex-
change and find themselves over
stocked when the cargoes finally ar
rive.

COUNTY AGENT
ROWELL HOLDS
Spraying and Pruning Demonstra'
tions This Week.

Realizing the Importance of the
Home Orchard in Abbeville County
and the part that fruit contributes
to cur health, I will hold Spraying
and Pruning demonstrations on the
following farms this week:
Wednesday, December Is at 10
a. M, at Level Land on Mr.. F. E.
Ellis's farm.
Wednesday, December Is, at Due
West. Meet us at Erskine College at
p. m.
Thursday, December 16, at 10 a.
M, on the farm of Mr.. C. M. Winn,
Arborville School District.
Thursday, December 16 at 2 p. m.
onlthe farm of Mr.. W. A. Hannah,
Central. School District.
Friday, December II, at 10 a. m.
on farm of Mr.. j. B. Gilbert, Leba-
non School District.
Friday, December II at 2 p. m.
on farm of Mr.. o. S. Cochran, Reid
School District.
Other demonstrations will be an
nounced later. I hope that every
farmer interested in orchard work,
either by setting a new orchard or
renovating an old orchard, will be
present at one of these demonstra-
tions. Mr.. G. P. Hoffman,, Exten-
sion Horticulturist, Clemson College
will assist me in these demonstra-
tions. We also expect to have Mr..
Beatty from Washington.
Every thing pertaining to spray
ing, pruning, worming, cultivation,
and setting the new orchard will be
taken up.
There are more than 40. farmers
in the county wanting orchard in
formation. 1t is impossible for me to
COVE one day to each of these men,
as it would take 40 days and I can't
afford to give DO days to orchard
work. So come to the demonstration
in vo,,r conorunitv
There should be a good home or
chard on every farm in Abbeville
County, and it is useless to try to
have an orchard unless it is taken
care, that is, cultivated, wormed,
sprayed and pruned.

sONCE TO EVERY WOMAN"
TO BE SEEN HERE

American theatregoers who revell-
ed in the dramatic wealth of "The
Heart of Humanity" and capitula-
ted to the irrestible qualities OF
1.-The Right to Happiness" are
doubtless of the opinion that in
these two photodrams Dorothy
Phillips and Allen Holubar, star and
director, have reached the heights
of screen perfection. But the public
Is sked to reserve its final verdict
until it. has had a view of ."Once to
Every Woman" the newest Univer,
saI,Jewel superIproduction, coming
to the Opera House on Friday and
Saturday.
The popular appeal of "Once to
Every Woman" is heightened be-
cause it deals with everyday people
and treats of a theme that is as old
rs humanity. Mother love is its key
note, and it shows the utter vanity
Of worldly ambition when not
founded an human affection.
. Miss Phillips first appears as a
school girl, the daughter of a village
blacksmith, who, because of her
good looks and sweet voice, is the
pet. of the family. She accepts the
sacrifices of her parents and sisters
and when a visitor from New York
offers to send her abroad to have
her voice trained she leaves home
with no regrets.
After many dramatic episodes she
finally reaches the goal of her am
bition-the creation of the star role
IN a grand opera in New York. Her
humble home and family are for
gotten. Then a tremendous shock
causes the loss of her voice. Her
new-found friends and admirers
leave her. In her mothers great
love she finds real happiness at last.
