RAILROADS OF STATE CAN INCREASE RATES (Continued from Page One) in intrastate charges lower than the corresponding interstate?charges. Would Be'Discrimination "That the failure of respondents to make a charge in addition to the regular fare against intrastate pas sengers in South Carolina who board trains without tickets at point where tickets might have been pur * cfiased, while contemporaneously making such charge against passen gers traveling in interstate com merce in the state of South Caro lina or between points in the state of South Carolina and points in oth er states, has resulted, and will re sult in unjust discrimination against interstate commerce. "That said unjust discrimination can and should be removed by esta blishing a charge not in excess of 15 cents against $ny passenger travel ing in interstate commerce within the state of South Carolina or be tween a point in the state of South Carolina and a point in another state who boards a train without a j ticket at a point where a ticket: might have be^i purchased, and by | establishing a like charge against. any passenger traveling intra-1 state in South Carolina under simi-j lar circumstances. "That the amount of baggage transported without additional j cnarge lor interstate passengers in; South Carolina and between points | in South Carolina and points in oth-! er states- is reasonable; that the transportation without additional1 charge of a greater amount of bag-; gage for passengers traveling in in-j trastate commerce within South' Carolina under corresponding fare,; that is, full fare or half fare, results; in unjust discrimination against in-1 . v I terstate commerce. "That the increases made by re-: spondent steam railroads relating to ! switching charges, and now in effect' aud the corresponding increases j macfle by respondent Piedmont &1 Northern Railway company, result in reasonable charges for switching in connection with interstate line1 hauls within the group considered j m + V.,V 1 J.1--A J.V- ' tu i>uu jjiukccum^! ana uiai i?ne maintenance of lower charges for switching cars in connection with in trastate line hauls within the state j of South Carolina results in undue | preference of and advantage to per sons and localities in intrastate commerce within the state of 1 South Carolina." .

Dear Cousin Percy:?I was glad to hear that you had arrived in New York. .1 suppose the boys asked a good deal about me when you arriv ed and wanted to know all about the Dutc-h Kolone. Well, I guess you could give it a good recommendation on heat, because I burned two tons ' oi coal while you were here trying tfoi'keejv-the steam running so-that * yott -would keep warm. I am glad your 1 boss was pleased with your write-up 11 in the "Press and Banner. Everything is moving along nicely 1 down herd. None of my creditors 1 Viae cnaA inc. \rof anH nnlv nilP has ' threatened to do so, and my lawyer says they generally threaten about three times before they sue, so I will rest easy until I get the third letter. A good many' people have been put ting on clearance sales. Philson and Henry had a big one, and Poliakoff and Parker and Reese. They seem to have stirred up a good deal of trade. I am thinking of putting on a clear ance sale on these lady-ash-tray holders I have on hands. I was think ing there would be a big rush for j ash trays and stands for Christmas . ^o I hurried in and cornered the mar-i3 ket on the Indian Lady ash-tray-! 1 stands and I now find myself with a* hundred and thirty-one left. There was not as much ashes tp be trayed as I was looking for. I would be glad if you would inquire around New York a little and see if you cannot' stir up a shipment of a job lot up there. Cigars are high down this way which reduces the amohnt of trays needed and everybody is so economi cal that they walk* out on the front piazza and shake the ashes off the ci gars into the yard rather than buy a tray. I suspect if you would see Joe Harriman, J. Pierpont Morgan and Cousin Walter Tusten you might work off three trays. Give them a good recommendation and tell all prospective buyers that we guarantee the trays and that they are held by the most beautiful Indian girls you have ever seen. You cannot put it too strongly if there, is a chance to get rid &? a few trays. No, we have not had any turkey setback dinners down this way this| winter as yet. Most of us have not had any money and yoy cannot buy turkeys on a credit. That is the rea son why I have not had one. But I do not see any reason why Major Fulp should not1 give a dinner this year as well as last year. You see he is a salaried man, and his salary is paid just the same, whether times are hard or not. Turkeys are cheaper c than they were last year and so is ^ jyster pie and all other good ingre iients. It seems to me that it would g lome handier to him to have a big ^ iinner this year than Last year when ^ jverything was so high. Mrs. Fulp old Big S'stcr thfct the Major would * lave a dinner but she was afraid that Si t would make all the men like me ^ vho could not have one feel bad, but: ^ he is mistaken about me. I cannot ;peak for the others but I would no.; I ^ VI :eei oacr at au. i wouia go ngn; a - lead to his dinner and eat just as nuch, if not a. little more, than 1 vould if I expected to have a dinner he next week. Everybody would mow why I was not giving the din ler in return, so why should I wor y. It may be that there are some ibout our town.who would feel bad ibout being asked under these cir cumstances, but the thing to do vould be for Major Fulp to ask every body about this, and those who would "eel bad under, th^ circumstances x>uld stay at home. There is no'^ea s g t k n ti v\ S; g son why those of us who would"!like ^ to go to his dinner should be forced to stay at home on account of these i a people with so much feeling in the matter. . If you see my partner Edison up in your city, tell him he had better be giving some attention to the busi ness of Kerr & Edison rather than trying to invent a machine to talk to the spirits. The McMurray people have opened a music shop on Main Street ju?t in front of me and Roy Power and the Edison and they i threaten to make things lively. They, 1 have named it only the Echo so far I but I told Roy yesterday that if he i and Edison did not get busy that I was afraid that it would not be long, .until they would change the name ] PRINTING PAPER TARIFF J | Publishers Must Prepare For The j Increase Now It Is Indicated ? Washington, Feb. 8.?W. W'Wea ver, of Durham, was to have appear ed before the house ways and means committee at its tariff hearing to day as a representative of the Press Publishers Buying corporation, but transferred his time to W. J. Pape, of Waterbury, Conn., who present ed the case to the publishers against a tariff on print paper. I Manufacturers asked a tariff, of j $15 a ton, while publishers asked it be left on the free list. Members of the committee majori ty indicated by their line of ques-i tioning that they will recommend a tariff and publishers may as ^vell prepare to face its application in 'the now tarif-f law wViifVi.- +110 novf nm. Ejress will pass. Chairman Fordney | indicted as thoygh there ought to be { a tariff to protect the American pa-| per manufacturers, believing he said: that duty would stimulate the in-1 iustry on the Pacific coast to the' point where it would supply enough ;o meet the American demand. The request of the manufacturers af a duty of three fourths of a cent per pound may not be granted but < ihe duty is sure enough to be as nuch as one half cent.? from The Echo to A Real Noise. I ;hink Edison must be getting a little n his dotage anyway, trying to in-' /ent a machin'e to talk to spirits.1 Who wants to talk to a spirit? I do lot care to be in talking distance of jne myself, and if I ever talk to >ne it will be just a running conve.r sat'on we would have. It looks now ike Kerr will have tc shoulder the! vhole Kerr & Edison business. Well, that suit you gave me is lbout gone, and I am going back to ny old tailor, Mr. Styleplus. Bradley Reese introduced me to him several fears ago and as long as he made my suits for $17.50 I stuck to him but *-hen he took a rise in price I wore < ;he suit you gave me. Mr. Styleplus jot as high as $35.00 and even high- : >r last year and I diin't know he was blinking of reducing the price of his iuits until I was walking down by 1 'arker & Reese's and I saw one of lis suits marked,.'Was $35.00, now >17.50," so I told Bradley fto wrap >ne up and I would go back to wear- ] ng tailor-made clothes. Sol ^Rosen- , lerg knows three tailors in New , fork who are good tailors too. They ( ire named Hart and Schaffner and . flarx.. I like Hart the best of the ^ hree as he is the head of the firm. uKe co aeai witn tne neaa 01 tne ( irm, because if there is anything to t :ive out, the head does the.giving'. I ike to stand in with that kind of a j nan. Well, after I told Bradley to s /rap up the suit, I thought to my- ? elf that maybe I had talked too fast, < !o I goes back to Bradley and tells t im not to send the suit up until I ( honed him. Then I went up to see ^ iol and I had him to write to his , c ailor Hart (I think his name is Bill ? lart but I am not sure) to find out whether he could get me out a suit ? or less than $17.50. I told Sol to end the letter on the fast mail and o get a reply as early as possible ^ ecause if I could not do better I <] id not want to lose the suit at y tradley'a as Bradley had already r hown that he would charge it. If you v et timp vou micht dron in Hart's . ailor shop and tell them that you now Sol and that he has a customer amed Kerr who likes to wear good ailor made clothes who is kind of a talking advertisement on styles, and ay to him to drop Sol a note sug esting that he try to get to make a uit for Kerr at cost, or even a little jss, and maybe Hart will come un-j er Styleplus, Bradley's friend and j ailor. Of coarse I will not trade with j lol without giving Bradley another | hance, but it won't take long to hear j * rom Styleplus, who lives in Balti-|( nore, and he can write him while I \ m meditating over Sol's offer. Well, there is no other news except hat Cousin Willie Leslie says y ire the poorest shot who ever hunt id on his land, so be good. Your Cousin, Davis. IMPORTANT BUSINESS Superintendent G. R.
