The r;iilro;i<l administration studying eontliets between states an federal rate making powers with Mi w to oiili rinu increases in tnany tn trastato rates which work injustii to interstate traftle. This may resu in tlte wiping out of practically a important intrastate low rates.

Two cent passenger fat laws will be affected. Director t?en oral MoAdoo has discussed the subjet with his oflicial advisers who advorat the nationalization of rates and wit the representatives of state commit sions who oppose the plan. Many lc eal commercial interests have urge him to raise the low state rate. A action is expected until the mterstat commerce commission has decided th pending 15 per cent case which profc ahly will lie soon. 1'ndor the ralrea hill as passed by congress the pr.'sl dent, through Director General Mc Adoo. may initiate rates subject to re view by the interstate cent mere commission on complaint, but not > state authorities. Consequently th state authorities would be powerless t prevent increases ordered by th federal management. ? Covington. Ky..

Thai [ does not seem like enough to amount . to a great deal?from two or three o hours a night, three nights a week, " for four weeks; but It did amount tc t quite a lot- Of fifteen or twenty - grownup pupils attending with more r or less regularity, and some of them it working with faithful eagerness, sev- ci ' era I received very substantial benefits c? 1 on the road to wider knowledge. fl. The idea of the school originated *rr r with Miss Eula Johnson, principal of fe Laney school, and was carried out in with the help of Miss Helen Brandon. J" i inr assistant. Miss Johnson is a form- to ,i Vork county lady, whose present w ' heine is in Arkansas; but who came s) I>aik to the mighlrorhood in which she j*,, was raised to teach. Miss Brandon H " a recent graduate of Winthrop college. 01 1 l?Jo!igs in Bethel. ot 1 The work of the young ladies was a ' purely voluntary. They were aware l* oi the fact that among the men of the lt 1 neighborhood, there were a number '* wln? tiad failed to receive the educa- hl tiMiial opportunities that they should r< f h:i\? had in childhood, and who arc al i,..u feeling the handicap. These in- ,l elude some of the liest and most sub stantial citizens of the Laney com- ,? nnuiitj. Among them are some who -V( 1 can read and write with fair facility. hi and some who do not even know the ^ ' litters of the alphabet. What the 0( ladies had in mind was to do what '' t!.' y could for all of them, and more s< [> "inllv for those who were totally tl 11 illiterate! *J From reliable information that has ' i t-* n obtuined by The Kn<|uirer, it ap- a |?;iis tiiat the men. especially those Cl 11 w i.i> were more or less able to read " " ami write took advantage of the op0 |.i.it unity with enthusiasm. The to- a lall> illiterate, however, could not be a in* I need to take hold. They did not S1 .-in to care, and it was not so much h a matter of sensitiveness about their 11 t ignorance as it was indifference. But S( y others worked, worked hard and made * progress?made enough progress in s iaet. to keep on working. H The young ladies put in full time 1 ami more. The original programme a ?ailed for two hours a night?from '' ' T to 9. but frequently the school kept s <>).. a until 10 and 11. They taught I ivading, writing, arithmetic and grammar. They took up the subject of plant l<?nl, the otlice and value of potash -sl ' in plant life, and how to mix fertilizers, etc.. especially as to how to <i make calculations as to proportions fi '' of the different elements to be used, e It was not intended that the school y should go on but four weeks. Consid* . ration was taken of the fact that ' when heavy farm work opened, the . a men would be too tired at night for i' study or anything else but sleep. The r' u term was short of course; but that much good was accomplished is cer- \ 11 tain. Some concrete examples eould '' ' l*e given to prove the fact, but that is hardly necessary or desirable. S The main iioint gained was the prac- n * lieability of the Idea. There are men v >. i'i ?very neighborhood who need just t such a school, and such schools can j. I**- organized in every neighborhood. r in course it is hardly to be expected j, that every neighborhood has eompe: ten! or eilieicnt teachers who are , willing to work in their schools all ^ Ia> ami then gratuitously give up " their evenings. That is too much for " ' ntiibod.v to ask. It is too inuvh to ;isk y it oven for pay. But such schools are i> I worth while. They are worth initio- < laining on a liberal salary basis? f II siiliirics contributed by the immediate a bi-ni liriaries or out or public funds. \ ,. And there tire few neighborhoods n that would not be benefited by such h ' schools?if the teachers are to be had. * J il DAY ON THE FARM f, 11 This is a little story of a brief out- *' " ing that came the editor's way last ( 1 week.

It was out of the picstion to get away just at that time a so 1 went ut him like tills: o 5 "You've got a car?" (' "Yes; two of thein." S I "Drive"'cm yourself?" "Sure. ? ".Mind driving one ol' them up to v' j itock Hill Thursday night and meet v me at the a. 10 train?" 5 "Not a bit." "Suppose it rains?" "1 will be right there at the *sta- J: . lion." "So will I," and the whole thing ,, was arranged. .Mr. Ulusscock wus ut the station e when I arrived in Hock Hill. He tl l_ seemed a little disappointed when he H learned 1 had not brought the family; ^ P but without loss of time, piloted me tl to his car in charge of a negro man j he had brought along, -and soon we d were spinning along,down the old Sa- b luda road toward the southeastern cor- <j [f tier of the county. To me it was p quite a pleasant drive in spite of a s . bumpy road, low lying clouds, und strong -March wind that had started up warm but which was steadily w growing more chilly. n Along the road Mr. tilasscock point- ^ P ed out various places of interest. , I with which 1 was more or less familiar; but which could he disf tinguished with dilliculty on account d 5 of the darkness?John Roddey's ?

C [ For some years twist Mr. Glasscock -s y has been engaged in buying all the d land adjoining and now his nearest *> . neighbor is more than a mile away. v> 4 He does not own all the land in ev- ? ,-ry direction for a mile?not uuite; j hut he has no close white neighbors. I His closest neighbors are Messrs. T. d M. Allen. J. A. Thomas. J. I. Fergu' son and J. T. and J. E. Glasscock, a j His own home, however, shows up as bi a little settlement?a big, white, two- ? s story, many roomed house, a big barn c< and quite a number of outbuildings of f< various kinds. t< The barn was full of hay and rough- tc noss of various kinds. The corncrlb si t was bulging with corn, something like tl a thousand bushels it seemed. In a 01 ? pen near the barn lot there were two lersey nogs mai were no longer ame ,, to stand on their feet and which Y looked like they would net between 01 300 and 400 pounds each, and a num- P< ' ber of smaller pigs in a nearby alfalfa nl ! pasture. f i "I'm going to sell those two hogR *c In the I to the butcher. I don't need them, and that Is about all I can bl ?'do." said Mr. Glasscock. ai Looking over the country from the *>' i hill on which Mr. Glasscock's home P{ stands, there Is presented to view a P' world of plowed ground. There were Je i no plowmen In sight They had al- ,n ready finished up everything in the immediate vicinity and were now ,B ' working elsewhere. "My land Is all so poor I can't in make anything oIt It without mixing about half and half with commer- lap &1 fertilizers." remarked Mr. Glass- at Kk in a somewhat humorous vein. lea I learned afterward that he has a p ready bought 100 tons of fertilizer an otn the Rock Hill Fertilizer company pai ir this year's crop, and he is expect- mo ig to use between fifteen and twenty pai ins of nitrate of soda. Altogether his hoi rtilizer>111 for this year will amount vol i somewhere lietween $5,000 and $6.- gui io. fro 1 had a peep into Mrs. Glasscock's eve orehouse.

"It doesn't look like it is necessary >r us to put up anything more this far." said Mr. Glasscock, "but if we ave plenty of fruit why we will just ive ns much of it as we can. Under 1 tnditions as they exist now. it is up pol i every family in the country to con- fro rve as much food as possible. Even cal tough we may have enough and to ed [lire, we must guard against the pos- W< ibllity of having a hungry people air round us. There is nothing that we zor juld have that would be worse than am int." for Mr. Glasscock cranked up his car ad1 long al>out 10 o'clock and we made me trip over to Mr. T. M.
