This statement was made b; Franklin K. Lane, a member of th< Inter-State commerce commission who was one of the representative: * of the United States to the Interna tional Railway Conference. "The conference established be yond question, I think, the supremac; of the American railroad from th< standpoint of efficiency," Mr. Lam continued. "One of the impression: that is left in my mind is as to hov European railroads manage to pa: four, five or six per cent, in dividend: with the small volume of traffic the; have, compared with the volume w< have. "One thing Europe is far ahead o us in is prc\iding pensions for ou civil employees. Europeans regan our methods are barbarous, and sa; Viovo rm + crrrnvn thpm hv n( IUC* UCVI V VUV^i V ?? ** v?V ? years.

Columbia, Sept. 8.?Butler Grims ^ ley, alias Harry Timmons, who ii wanted in New Brookland on < charge of bigamy and who has beei sick in Washington, D. C., for th< last two weeks will be brought bacl to New Brookland by Deputy Sherif Sim Miller, who today was sent b? Governor Ansel with requisition pa pers to Washington. It is under stood here that Grimsley has suffici ently recovered an attack of typhoi( fever to be able to travel. The charge that Grimsley will hav< to face was preferred by Mr. Josepl Earhart, of New Brookland, that un der the name of Henry Timmons Grimsley on August 17, married Mis: Ella Earhart, 18-year-old daughtei of the prosecutor, although at th< time Grimsley had a wife, Mrs. Mauc Grimsley and a child, living in Co lumbia. In Walsh's directory of Co lumbia, Grimsley's residence is givei - as 1,81 y layior sireta. i Mrs, Ella Earhart Timmons (oi Grimsley)' had accompanied the mar to Washington, where he claimed tc * have prospects of a job, and re mained there with him, spending days and nights in nursing him wher he had a relapse from typhoid fever She did not learn of the charges against the man whom she supposed to be her lawful husband until Deputy Sheriff Sim J. Miller, of Lexing ton, reached Washington two weeks ago on his first trip with a warranl for the arrest of Grimsley, alias Timmons. The warrant was served by Detective Brennan of the Washington police force, but Dr. James J. Kilroy who had been attending Grimsley, declared the man in no condition tc undertake the journey to South Carolina. He was accordingly removed , a prisoner, to Washington Asyluir ', Hospital. Mrs. Ella Earhart Timmons (01 j Grimsley) returned with Deputj Sheriff Miller to her father's home al New Brookland. Mrs. Grimsley No. 1 is now with relatives in St. Louis. For some days after his suspicions had been aroused, Mr. Earhart was unable to locate Grimsley. His address was learned from a post card that Mr. Earhart's daughter sent tc her mother. The dispatch of Mr Miller with the warrant followed. * Grimsley is said to be a native ol this county, having many relatives i of good repute. He had worked al several places in Columbia and recently had taken up automobile repairing as a specialty. In Washington he sought work as an electrician Here he was rated in the directory as $ a machinist. HALF MILLION BORROWED. South Carolina Has Requested Loar of $550,000.

The public roads - belong to the farms on which they 1 pass, the title of each farm running to the middle of the road, and the ? use of this part of each farm has l been given up solely for travel and - not for pasture. Under the common . law doctrine cattle pasturing on the 5 highway are trespassing on the propr erty of the adjoining land-owners. ? Many years ago in one of the Mary1 land counties farmers were annoyed - by cows turned on the public roads - by people who had no land and no 1 pasture. They applied to a lawyer who told them that there was no r statute in that county requiring l any one to fence his land, and > that the common law prevailed. - that no one was required to fence j other people's cattle out, but only l fence in their own. He advised them . to leave their gates open and take s up trespassing cattle. This stopped I it an<J| now fences have prac tically disappeared there except - around the pastures. The man 5 quoted July 25th would be a failure t with stock under any condition, and - simply does not want to provide pasture for his stock. But improvement - never goes backward, and this man, - and others like him, will nave to , come to the point of providing for - their own stock. > It is odd that some people imagine - that they have a right to pasture , everywhere but on the land they i own.?Progressive Farmer.
