u,s'rbt in the rcfincrs gaining re-

The existing exorbitant rates now

,,-y than any other factor. This "
true I'm every line OF industry, espe-
clallv the oil business whore the
rates are much higher, based upon
the pound per mile rates. The soon
cr me railroad companies reduce the
liting and allow
a free movement OF comm odittes or
au kinds. the sooner the demoral-
lzed condition OF this nations indus
tries will be relieved and normal
times again prevail.
with the coming Of the winter
demand for fuel oil the independ-
en-, rcfiner IL more handicapped ny
the high freight rates than before
MS Il will almost be impossible for
Mid Continent refiners to compete
with local refineries in the north
central and eastern territories. Inc
prevailing rate on barrel of crude
10 Chicago is s1.04 cents; TO PITTS
burgh $50, etc. These rates were
made upon the basis Of SO fuel oil
and since the price has been re-
duced 10 As cents at the refinerics
Il is epif- evident how out of pro-
portion the rates have become.
Numhcr!ess requests and petitions
have bocn filed with the Oklahoma
corporat!on commission and the
Interstate commerce commission foi
those commissions to order n reduc
tinn in the rates. but so far efforts
with those bodies have been unsuc
crssful. The last reduction on crude
oil shipped out of the Eldorado
Arkansas field. was gotten through
the efforts of the Traffic association
and through the efforts of individ
uals operating there, and 1t Seems
this method OF handling the proposi
ton Is more than that of relyint
upon the governmental bodies. Th'
meeting to be held Tuesday should
bring this matter TO n decision, ant
It's results will be watched for will
interest by everyone concerned.

They found one in ravine but the

Rev. j. w. Busbardt, who has re-
Gently moved to Abbeville from
Greenwood, went back Thursday to
see how the town was getting along.
He passed through Hodges and says
the people over there are busy cut
ting down the shade trees and making
the streets wide. He made the trip
from Hodges to Greenwood in car
and says "the Highway is great
piece of road work. He also says that
Greenwood looks "pretty near dead,
that everybody is still holding to cot
ton and hoping the price will go up.

who talk a good deal about curtait-
ing do not do much of it. But a real
curtailment in the amount of cotton,
corn and other farm products is i'm
minent unless the people get busy
Less cotton is going to be produced
this year because great deal less
fertilizers will be used. Many farms
are not going to be worked, and un-
less we mistake the outlook so many
are not going to be worked as seri-
ously to affect the welfare Of this Sec
icn. There is large population here
which must be fed and clothed. Many
of these people have not the where
withal to farm, and they will not get
it, we fear. The result is going to
be that there will be many idle peo-
pie, people looking for jobs perhaps,
but with no prospect of finding them
A large percentage OF these people
when they find they cannot farm,
will come to the towns, and there
they will find no work. The result
will be an outbreak of lawlessness OF
one sort and another, to say nothing
of the suffering which will follow.
Believing that these conditions are
imminent, we advise the people who
desire to farm to arrange their affairs
to that end as early as possible. 1t is
time to see the merchant and the
banker and to seek his advice and to
ascertain from him, or them, what is
necessary to be done in order to car
ry on this years business. The sooner
it is done, the better it will be. for
every individual farmer. !
