I BE FORMALLY CE18NIALDEC. 1 MAN FROM SOUTH MADE PRESIDENT Perry Leeds Railway and Utilitea Commissioner s?(Unanimous Choice Woc-Viino+rm Mnv. 11. R. HudSOU tf aQiHM^VWMy Burr, chairman of the Florida railroad commission ,in placing James A. Perry of Georgia in nomination for president of the Association oi Railway and Utilites Commissioners today, declared Mr. Perry was a man of the "New South" and a son of the "Old South." Mr. Perry was unanimously elected. "I am going to name a man from 'Dixie," said Mr. Burr in making the nomination. "Henry Grady called it the "New South.' I am proud of our 'New South.' I am glad that I have lived during the building' of the 'New South to which Mr. Grady referred; but I was born long enough to have a deep seated love and reverence of the traditoins of the 'Old South.' I am glad that I have lived to see the sons of the 'Old South' volunteer with the sons of the North under the Stars and Stripes in the Spanish-American war, under the leadership of General Wheeler and Prtinnoi Roosevelt to fight for the freedom of the Cuban republic. "I am glad that I have lived," he contniued, "to see our boys of i the 'New South' join with the boys of the North, of the East and of the West and in France under Old Glory bring victory to a losing fight. Many of them have fought their last fight, and today lie buried where they fell on battlefields of France, or rest in a watery grave. I am glad that I have lived to see men from all states stand with a solid front for the preservation of those rights so dear to the sons of the 'Olfr South' and the 'New South.' ? The'commissioners laid aside their formal convention program today and held an "experience" meeting over the problems of street railways and enforcement of service standards on public utilites. The discussion povere^ effects of increased fares on street car traffic, the service at cost plan and the possibility of retaining the short haul passengers though five cent fares. Henry R. Trunrbower of Wisconsin said ways should be found to deal with motorists who use their machines 10 months and street cars the rest of the year. The occasional street car passenger, he said, should pay a fixed sum greater than the regular patron. He thought this mighty be reached by selling monthly tickets at a reduction from cash fare. W. D. B. Ainey of the Pennsylvania commission resented efforts which he sadi had been made by the companies to throw responsibility for the plight of street railways on regulatory commissions. The problems, he asserted, were not regulatory, but managerial or due to corporate history and local conditions. Speakers generally appeared agreed that increased fares had not materially reduced passenger traf fic. Discussion of service standards was taken up largely with the quality of service given to telephone subscribers. ACTION BY COUNCIL AGAINST INCREASE Greenville, Nov. 11.?A unanimous protest against a raise in telephone rates until service is consider ably improved was voted tonight by the Greenville city council in regular session. The vote was taken in view of the announcement by telephone company officials that a request for advanced rates has been made to the railroad commission. Council asked commercial and civil organizations to take a similar stand. REDUCTION IN WAGES Greenville* Nov. 11.?A reduction from $3 to $2.75 per day in the wages of common laborers employed by the city was ordered by city council at its regular session tonight. The reductions were decided upon, it was announced in view of "similar action by private business concerns in the city." S. C.

Numerous circulars which pictured 1 in glowing terms the high wages which wert being paid in the coal 1 and gold mines of the country was | the cause of their migration, ac' cording to Anne Wheeler. 1 "There were gold mines there all 1 right," she said, "but they would not 1 let us work in them, and so we took 1 in washing."
