MARCHING ON TO THE ABYSS Tlit* robbery limit in Columbia Monday night wuh reached when two tie{4roes held up line old W. 1'. llouseal, the Sd-year old "Dutch Weather l'rophet " Not that "stick ui) ' deviltry is restricted to Columbia. We had It right here almost in sight o1 St. Matthews laHt Saturday night by whites. It is a growing and perplexing problem with both races. Souio of the causes are not far to seek. There Is a growing belief thai thn "guviiuelit" will fe'od all the down | and outs without work. And many want no work. Others who do, can't get it, but insist on riding and liquor , to drink. All must marry and propagate large famillek, often without a Hitch of bacon or peck of grits in the house. Frequently the colored people, back from the North, walk into the office and announce that they can find nothing to do "up there," and there are more here now than we need. The North was soon supplied It makes us think of old Tom Carl yle's version during the furious sla\ery agitation before the Civil War: "The South sa> s to the nagur. Hod bless you, and be a slave, and the North says, 'Cod damn >ou. and be , free." Calhoun Tillies. THE WEEK'S BEST STORY Lyiu'htnirR. Vn.. Nov. 10.?Fifteen years ago, while ii traveling salesman, L.

LONG AND SHORT HAUL CLAUSE It seems to be agreed, by those who have a grasp of the problem, that the Fourth Section of the Interstate Commerce -Act (the Long-and ShorVHaul clause) has outlived its usefulness and has become a menace, instead of a benefit. The clause prevents railroad from charging a lower rate for a longer distance than for it short distance haul over the same route, except by permission of the Interstate Commerce Comn|ission--p e r in i s s i o n whit h may he granted only in a very limited number of eases. The purpose of the law, when passed, was to end \\ lt;il was felt to he arbitrary discrimination in transportation charges as between cities. Conditions have (hanged greatly since that time and the changes in transport have been little short of revolutionary Then, the railroad was the only common carrier worth mentioning. Commercial airlines were unknown. The truck was an infant, commercially speaking. The bus was still in the jitney stage. Water transport was much smaller in scope than at present. Today the great extension of highway and water transportation, which is free from such stringent rules of conduct as affect the railroads, has rendered tin clause virtually inoperative so far as eliminating competitive advantages is concerned. Almost its sole effect nowada\s is to prevent the railroads from meeting competition. It thus works a great and unnecessary hardship on lite rails, our greatest single industry, while it is utterly valueless so far as protecting any public interest is concerned. Repeal or modification of the clause should be effected bj the next Congress.? lndustrial News-Review. The Big Fellow "Thut man." said Mtss Tabasco, "is one of our leading capitalists."
