VICTORY FOR \.
SOUTH CAROLINA
New Rates of Railroads Salts
factory to State Organiza-
tiOns
INCREASE EVEN LESS n
THAN LIMIT EXPECTED
Officials Are Watching with In
terest Effect of Passenger
Rates on Travel

Columbia, August 5.--Commerclaf
organizations of South Carolina are
expressing delight in what they con-
cede to be practically victory in the
recent freight rate increases, as an
nounced by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. FCr more than year
the commercial bodies, especially in the
southeast, have waged a fight against
an increase in rates for this section
which would be on the same basis as
increases for, other sections. They
have contended that rates in the South
should not be Increased as much as
rates in other sections, because of the
fact that the roads of the South have
for years shown larger profits than
those of other sections, showing that
as great on increase was not necesr
sary. Those commercial bodies have
felt that an increase was coming, and
| their fight was against discrimination
against the South.
The contention of the commercial
| interests was for an increase of not
over 1 per cent The increase for the
| Sc attn of 25 per cent is even better
than was expected.
The Chambers of Commerce OF
South Carolina have participated in
! III fght against discrimination,
through their membership in the
Southern Traffic League and similar
| traffic organizations
| Columbia officials Of trunk lines op-
Grating in the state are watching with
interest, they say, the effect of the in
crease Of passenger fares on travel.
With the increase of fares during the
war, travel. it appeaped, also in l.
creased. Officials are wondering what
will be the effect now. These off,
cials state that they expect heavy pas
senger travel for the next few weeks,
before the rates are Increased, caused
by vacation seekers taking advantage
of the presnet rates and taking their
vacations before the advances become
effective.

NO ROOM FOR MILLIONAIRE
frankfort State JournaD

The arrest in Louisville Of .
wealthy young man from Memphis
because he wore shabby clothes and
drove a mud-bespattered $4,000 au-
tomobile recalls the fact that a mil
lionaire once was turned away from
the old Capital Hotel with the eX-
PLANTATION, mo rooms vacant"
Nearly twenty years ago Tom
johnson, millionaire Mayor of Cleve-
land, was a pioneer tourist in all
automobile which was called a "Red
Devil in newspaper reports.
Mr.. johnson arrived in Frankfort
in his Red Devil as we'll covered
with mud as the machine was.
Machines IN those days were with
out tops OF windshields, and, as we
recall it. the mud guards were nom
extensive or rudimentary. At any
rate very muddy fat man looking
like a tramp headed into the hotel
and asked for accommodations. He
received the ''once over" and the
information that there were no un-
reserved rooms. Later the identity
of the muddy man was discovered,
and need it be said, the error of the
clerk" which was indeed an error,
was corrected as soon as Tom John
son was caught by hotel employe
who was sent hot foot after him.

EDITOR DULEY TAKES EXCEp-
TON TO Smokes"

In a recent issue of his paper, the
Flemingsburg Times-Democrat, Ed
itor Hiram Dudley takes the follow
ing fling at Republican Senatorial
nominee, Richard P. Ernst, of Cow
ingtOn:
'"This spring friend of r. P.
Ernst, who thinks he is going to
represent or misrepresent Kentucky
in the U. S. Senate, sent out 20 a
gOOdly number of Kentucky Demo-
cratic papers an offer of advertising
of the candidacy of said Ernst for
the Republican nomination for ths
SenatOrship, accompanied by a
check and box of Richard P.
Ernst cigars. This was supposed to
be for the purpose of an opening
for buying the support of the DEM
ocratic press in the general election,
or, at least, of getting them to sell
him space to blow his horn in that
campaign. We have not heard of
any Democratic paper putting his
name up in place of the Demo-
cratic nominee, so we infer that the
little cigar game didn't work.

A SUGGESTION

If you live in or near large city,
stand for few minutes in, front Of
one of the great railway stations
between seven and nine o'clock in
the morning. or between five and
seven o'clock at night, and watch
the crowd pouring in or out. Go to
the heart of the shopping section in
the middle of the day and observe
the tide of people that flows and
eddies about the great department
stores and sometimes fills the streets
from curb TO curb.
When you have fixed the picture
so firmly in your mind that even
with your eyes closed you can see
your fellow creatures as bees in a
swarm, pushing, crawling, cease
lessly moving over and upon and
against one another, ask yourself
how many of them all actually pro-
duce one tenth Or One-hundredth OF
the food that they eat.
Everything that goeth III at the
mouth of a man must come, directly
or indirectly, from the soil, and by
the work of human hands. When
you have made your mental picture
of the people in the city who ex-
pect to be fed, and another mental
picture of the number of farmers
who are expected to feed them, you
will know one reason why food is
scarce and high. and you will also
have had a hint of what you can dc
10 improve conditions.
