INTERURBAN
LOST MONEY
Augusta-Aiken Railroad Asks
For Increased Rates

Columbia, Feb. 23.-hnOther rail-
road in South Carolina, an interurban,
has asked the South Carolina Rail-
road commission to grant it an in
crease Of passenger fares. The Au-
3u3;a Aiken electric line, the last cleo
tric interurban line in tie state to
make such request, has filed with the
South Carolina Railroad commission
petition for an increase Of fares, from
five cents to nine cents. 1t is likely
that the railroad commission will ar
range a hearing, for some future date.
at which the question of the increase
will be gone into.
The Augusta Aiken line operates
under a zone system. The present
charge for passengers is five cents a
zCne, and there are eight zones on the
line. The petition asks for an increase
to nine cents. The read is 23.9 miles
in length. between Aiken and Augusta,
Ga. Other interurbans in the state
are the Isle of Palms and the Navy
Yard lines out of Charleston, recent
ly granted rate increases. the South
Carolina Light, Power and Railway
company, of Spartanburg, now in the
hands Of receivers. and the Piedmont
and Northern lines, Classcd by the in
teratate commerce commission as a
trunk line and subject to the same
regulations as steam railroads.
The petition Of the Augusta Aiken
| filed today with the railroad commits
sion, alleges that the company oper-
ated at loss last year, the 1920
deficit being s25, ,436. The petition
sets forth that the company's prop
crty is valued at $l,500.000, loss de
probation. The nine cent fare, the
| petition sa"s, will net the company
net surplus Of $lii,5i9, which
would be 1853 per cent on the invest
nont, the amount of earnings the
company is asking to be allowed tC
make.
The Augusta Aiken sets forth that
! last year its total income was $l99,
| 040, its total operating costs $780,
| 1874, a difference Of S4S,S45. In ad-
dition taxes. terminal charges, depre-
citation and overhead power costs
amounted to ST4,2S1, making the de-
| fiCit Of S25, 1876.
Members of the RAILROAD co'nmiS-
sion returned WCdn "SGay from Beau
! for., where hearings were held or
| petitions to increase telephone rates
/ in Beaufort and Jasper. The com
mission has as yet taken no Ollicia
cognizance Of the petition OF the
/ Augusta-Aikon electric line.

Cotton Il Surplus Crop.
EOitOr Daily Item:

Editor Daily Item:
The time is about at hand for the
farmers to decide as to what percent
Of the cultivated land they are going
to plant to cotton. ! am neither
prophet nor prophets son, but must
say that the man who undertakes 70
make a big crop OF cotton this year
will regret it next fall when he be-
gins TO sell good grades at five or six
cents. The conditions now prevailing
over the world are just as bad as they
;hOuld be. and with present carry
over Of six or eight million bales, the
important question is, who is going
10 buy another big crop of American
cotton. England's industrial interest
is stagnant, Italy's manufacturing in
terest is paralyZed for the lack of coal
and the demoralized condition of her
labor Austria is suffering for the
lack of food, clothing and money,
Russia in her state of chaos, with
nothing to export to pay for our cot
ton. Spain with a part of her mills
closed down, France only taking less
than one million bales of our cotton,
Germany groaning under the repara~
ton fund that she has to pay over to
the allies, Poland and Armenia Suf
'ering with the lack Of food and
clothing and when we survey the con-
ditiOnS in Japan and China we find
dark clouds of depression hanging
over there. America, we know, can
not consume more than fifty per cent
Of our crop and the question is, who
is in a position to buy it and what are
we to do with it, if we should make
another 12,C0O,00O bale crop. Mr.
Farmer, it behoOves you to consider
matters we'll before launching out on
scheme Of making money this year
on cotton. Did you make any on the
1920 crop. Do you see any prospects
iOr better economic conditions with
in the next two years? If SO. | wish
YOU would share your knowledge with
me.
The rates of exchange in the coun-
tries mentioned are very low and OF
course that reflects on their credit,
which handicaps everything in the
Way of industries and will until their
exchanges are restored to their pre-
yious par value which will take time.
These conditions are looking us in
the face and we can not brush them
aside, but must meet them on the
best terms possible.
Somebody says man is inspired
more by his desires than by common
sense Let's not let that principle
govern us this time, but exercise our
brains in this time of emergency and
see if there is not way out of the
! difficulties with which we are con-
tending.
With all Of the other troubles the
cotton producer will have to face this
| year Is the boil WeeVil and we need
not try to fool ourselves into the idea
that he will not do any damage. That
idea would be only speculation and it
looks as if we are Surfcitcd on
the results of the speculation we prac-
ticod in the year OF our Lord 1920.

A song wab popular a few years
ago In which the singer confessed or
boasted that he was the guy" who
added the distinctive quality to very
nearly everything with which men
are now familiar One OF the lines,
i believe. ran
I'm the guy that put the salt in
the ocean,"
II is I'm order TO ask who put the
salt In Salt Lake? For that lake was
not always salt. There was a time
wnen what Ia now Salt Lake extended
over q vastly arger area. and 1t was
an inland sea OF fresh water.
Two conditions made II salt. First.
II shrank. and secondly In Sinking
II fell below the level of It's outlet The
insoIuble solids that are found In all
bodies or water were so diluted be-
fore this time as not TO have seriously
affected the at ality OF the water. But
after that. the rains washed more
salt and alkali into the lake bottom.
and the evapc ration left them all
there. The lake shrank and became
more salt. and shrank some more and
became still more SALT and now II Is
50 nearly solid that you cannot sink
In II II you try.
The way In which Salt Lake be-
came salt In the way In = which
some men grow bitter. cynical. stale
and misanthropic. They shrink. and
they have no outlet into hfe. They
lose the Sweetness and wholesome
ness out OF rfc because they have
censed TO give out OF their own life
anything OF value TO others.
There was a rnan and some did think
him mad
The more he gave away the more
ne had"
Salt Lake Impoverished Itself by
ceasing TO give anything out of it,
self to others. In the ages when II
ran brimming full. II poured over
through some high mountain pass
and made valley fertile; then
II was fresh ard sweS and deep and

The Famine in China.

| ,tCw York, Feb. 1S.-Thirty thou
sand Chinese gathered on great bare
iieid outside Tientsin, China, waited
patiently for food which never arriv-
ed aii,. -, n slowly died there, e. S.
Glines, American Engineer, reported
upon his arrival here after passing
SIX months in the famine stricken
areas Of North hina.
| The cOndIl. u. ! the starving hordcs

he did not :. &c the heart to take
photographs -. sIch misery" He
said that the crowd at Tientsin had
gathered because they believed food
would reach them there more quick
~ than in the country. Along a
roadside near the field, he told Of
seeing the bodies of a whole family
father, mother and five children
each few yards apart, where they
had dropped and died.
THE crop failures have been al
most complete in the five great prov
inces that make up the northern part
OF China proper--Chihli, Shantung.
Shansi, Shensi and Honan," said Mr.
Glines. This is the part of the
country around PelIing, south Of Mon
gola and Manchuria."
Explaining why the sections of
China not stricken by famine were
unable to relieve the starvation dis
! tricts, Mr.. GlineS said: China is
largely an agricultural nation. Nine
| ty per cent of the population lives on
the tiny farms into which the coun-
! try Is divided. The Chinese work
their land to the limit but they can
not raise more than enough to feed
| themselves. Each district ran raise
barely enough food to support it's
own people. That Is why the pros
porous provinces have been able to
do so little for the famine-stricken
ones, They have rot the food to
send.
The crops in North China have
failed since 1919. The people have
hccn unable to get more than scraps
OF food from other parts Of China
They have been unable to get much
from outside. because food has been
high priced all over the world. They
have t.itd to move to better districts
where they could raise crops but such
Districts are SO far and they have had
such poor resources that they have
died like flies on the way.
There Is no question that more
than 10,000.000 Chinese will starve
! to death this winter and spring unless
food is rushed to them" He de-
clared that millions will die despite
aid, that the population Of $1,000, 600
in the famine districts is in such dire
straits that it will be a physical i'm
possibility to rush enough food to
them to save all.
Great irrigation projects, control
! OF food producing streams, and i'm
provement OF transportation were cit
/ cd hy Mr.. Gl!nes as the only saliva
J tion OF the agricultural and eco
IL, mic life Of China.
| ~ hese things will be done in
time" he said, "for China is awake
3 America will probaly have a big part
in this future OF China, but we must
az aside these things for the present
9Ad devote every effort to getting food
TO the starving millions"

Wild Horses Becoming Scarce.

Denver, Col, Feb. 23.--Bronco
Busters OF the northern Rocky Noun
tain states are about to 60 out OF
business. according to reports from
officials of wild west and frontier
shows. The reason is there aren't
any wild horses to bust. At least not
around Wyoming and this part of the
country.
But down in Arizona they have wild
horses to eat. There are 10000 Of
thom. They belong to the San Carlos
Indians who have a reservation not
far from Globe. But there isn't
much chance of getting the Arizona
ponies for the bronco busters of
Wyoming for the Indians won't give
them up.
The day of the wild herds Of horses
roaming the plains OF Wyoming and
adjacent states has been growing
rapidly shorter with the encroacn-
ment of civilization. More and more
ranches are being fenced in. herds of
cattle are reduced or confined and to
make the matter worse for the ex-
istence OF the wild steeds. oil drilling
camps have been extended over wide
areas OF Wyoming, northwestern Col
orado and Utah.
But down on the San Carlos Indian
reservation there are 10000 wild
steeds, roaming at will over the fields.
destroying miie after mile of graz
ing land which might be put into
good use for cattle, and turning green
grass OF the prairie intQ a scrawny
covering for their bones which hard
~ make even decent meal for an In
dian.
The cattlemen have tried to buy
them. but the Indians wouldn't listen.
The government. through A. II. Sy-
monds, Indian agent, offered to pur-
chase them at about Sc head, in
vest the money into cattle and save
the meat from the horses, giving ii
back to the Indians for winter food.
But the indians would have none
OF IL. The horses are worthless, even
for hides. They cannot be domesti-
Gated and the meat isn't much Of q
delicacy, but the Indians insist on
their gre old prerogative to have
their herds out on the open prairie
even as their fathers did. The In
dians also have about 1000 wild bur
ros which they say they will keep.
! And when an Indian makes ur
his mind" AR Symonds says. you've
got to have patience to get him to
change 1t. They are proud Of the
horses and burros for some reason
and although some OF their leaders
have tried to persuade them to ac-
cept the offers made, so far they have
refused to sell"
Sometimes i'm the isolated mountain
canons horses are found running
loose. Wild burros are frequent In
various parts of Arizona and occasion
ally are found in Utah. But the old
wild horse herds of the mountain
plateau regions have gone, probably
forever.

Sumter's Fire Department to BE as
Good as The Best.

If the present plans on foot for the
bigger and better fire department for
Sumter are realized, this city will have
an equipment which will cover all
needs and demands in that line for
years to come and an outfit which ev-
eryone might justly be proud Of.
The big new Seagrave, triple combi-
nation auto truck which has been or
dered by the city at a cost of $4,000
has been shipped for Sumter. The
shipping date was the 18th OF this
month and the truck is To begin it's
Journey from Columbus, Ohio, so the
truck may arrive in the city almost
at any time now. This truck Will
come ready for action and initial tests
which will be made by an expert
from the factory. The truck will be
equipped with a pump of $50 gallons
per minute capacity. Also it will
carry a chemical tank, hose and lad
ders. The engine is a big six de-
veloping 120 h. p. This truck will
be classed as among the best of the
state for modern fire fighting.
The present Plans Of the department
call for removing the chemical tank
which is now on the present Seagrave
pump, which is now on hand, on that
truck. The chemical tank will be
PLACED on the REQ truck.
The realization OF this fire outfit
program would surely put Sumter in
class one when it comes to fire de-
partments.
