TO PROTEST AGAINST INCREASED RATES -tate Railroad Commission Will Oppose Burleson's Plan CHAIlRMAN SHEALY TALKS Probably Issue Prohibiting Order; This Failing Take it to Attor ney General. Columbia, April 27.-The South Carolina Railroad Commission will not permit an increase in the rates on local telephones by the Southern Bell Thelenhone and Telegraph Company without a contest, stated Frank V. Shealy, chairman, today. A press dispatch printed this morn inT announced that the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company had iled with the Georgia Railroad Commission a revised schedule of rates, giving the company about a 13 ner cent revised schedule of rates on hialsifless and residlence telephones. Al though the dispatch said that the schedule had been filed in eight other Southern States and in Inliana and Illinois, the South Carolina commis sion up to (his afternoon had not received its copy. The telephone company announced that it was filing its new schedules on orders from Postmaster General B:'rleson. director of the United States Telegraph and Telephone Administra. I tion. However, it was said that if orders had not been receivedJ from the government for an increased rate, there would have been a revised schedule filed, it being held by the company that an increase in rates is necessary.

Columbia, April 27.-While he con. tends that he observed many things and learned a good deal on his recent trip' attending conventions, Commis sioner B. Harris came home declaring that old South Carolina is the best State in the Union and he is prepared to back it up. "From an agricultural standpoint and by fair comparison I consider that South Carolina is a better farm ing State than Texas from the sim ple fact that our seasons are more uniform and our lands are more pro ductive per acre as proved by United States census which is an impartial judge in this case," said Mr. Harris. "It requires in Northwest Texas ten acres of their prairie land to support one steer a year while in South Caro line one acre of highly improved land in the Piedmont will graze two cows, and in sandy lands one acre will graze one cow for seven months in the year. In middle Texas it requires four acres. Our Bermuda grass is hard to beat." Mr. Harris found on inquiry that cattle are very scarce in Texas and also that hogs are very scarce. Even i brood sow costs more in Texas than i Texas horse. It is almost an impos sibility to buy a milk cow in Texas. "I- was told by a man whose business it is to buy cattle," said Mr. Harris, "that ten years ago he could go out and buy 1,000 head of cattle in two or three days. 'Today he cannot buy that many cattle in three weeks. Also sheep are very scarce in Texas. This is one of the best of industries in that State. Wool and mutton are bringing a very high price." Mr. Harris declares that he knows of no farming enterprise that would bring higher returns in proportion to the capital invested than a flock of sheep. "The increase in the lamb and wool would be the first cost in twelve months," says Mr. Harris. "Many, many farms in South Carolina are suitable for sheep raising in a very profitable manner. We will never have a (log law in this State until we get sheep. It is useless to talk about getting the law and then get ting the sheep. I noticed very few logs in Texas. I looked carefully and inquired of my son, who is one of the faculty at the State Normal Col lege. He said there were very few :logs in Texas." "One need not hunt a better place than old South Carolina for profita ble and diversified agriculture. In re rard to the preparation of land in Texas I observed that the soil is not broken and the farmers just take i two-horse plow and throw two fur rows to the middle. That forms the bed on which they plant the cotton. The average farmer tn Texas does not compare with the average in South Carolina for progressiveness." -----0 MARY PICKFORD'S NEW PICTURE IS DELIGHTFUL ONE "Johanna Enlists" Is Humorons and Famous Star Has Splendid Role. For genuinely delicious humor and timely interest, annopncement is m ade that "Vary Pickford's newest photoplay, "Johanna Enlists." a screen adaptation of Rupert Hughes' suc cessful story, "The Mobilization of Johanna," which will he shown at the Pastime Theatre tomorrow, is perhaps the most pleasing offering of the sea son and in many resepcts one of the most novel and delightful vehicles :ver provided for this famous cinema ?r t. One feature of unusual interest which makes this photoplay most not able is that the military scenes with which it abounds presents the mem bers of the 143rd Regiment, Field Artillery, of which Mliss Pickford is the honorary colonel. The troops were encamnped at Universal Ranch, in Cali rornia, where the scenes were '?shot," andl they will, of course, be absolute ly realistic, even to a court-mar-tial w:hich is carriedl out wvith every atten ion to dletail.

I Before the war Germany m-adle the3 toys for the western world, with Ja- IS our' pan beginning to awake to the pos- ffy e sibilities of such trade for her cheap ly-paidl enad imitative workmen. The war brought- about the birth of a toy indlustry in the United States and greatly stimulated ,Japanese manufac ture. In her plans to recover her for -_________ mer monopoly in toys, Germany ree ogni-zes prejudhice in the United States as a chiefly Japanese competi tion. She overlooks entirely the pos-C l sibility of American toy manufacture developing to any proportions. WVhat is going to happen to the. American industry in the face of Ger man and Japanese competition ? Our markets wvere flpodled in 1918 with. huge stocks of cheap and inferior toys .nade in Japan, that country having practically replaced Germany's pre wvar contribution. But let us not for get that we have the beginnings of a toy ind(ustry which, if permitted to de \-eicp, will afford lucrative and light ?mployment to thousands of peoplo. -i ri O)ld mecn, uneiual to haid work, may H r b~come toy experts. O8 The best way to relieve Germany of the fe-ar of .Japanese competition, so far as the United States is con- For mnfor 'eernedl, is to put a tariff on toys that will protect the American, indlustr ~ VafS, from the competition of both Ger- e many andi Japan.
