YOUTH BROUGHT XHERE FROM SAVANNAH FACES VERY SERIOUS CHARGE COMPLICATED CASE Pelxer Magistrate Has Granted I Bail to Two Others Held on Same Chargea. Though Oscar Sargeant, charged with arson, ind Frank Simmons, charged with being an accessory to the crime, have been released on ball by tbs magistrate at Pelzer, Oas Sim mons, Who was brought here yester day :rom Savannah upon a warrant charging him with haring aided in the burning o? the building in question, was refused bail when his application was placel before Magistrate W. C. Broad well yesterday. Magistrate Broadwell took the re position that be is without jurisdiction In granting bond tn a. case wherein tho charges constitute a felony. Ap plication for bail In a case of this character, be argued, has to be made before a circuit judge. Having been refused bond, the defendant was re manded to the county jail. .".The case involving the arrest of three young white men in connection with the bnrqlng of an establishment known as "Simmons Bros. Cafe," at Pelzer, over a year ago, has attracted considerable Interest not only In An dersort County- but in Greenville, where all three defendants are known Las,-. Friday Frank Simmons, formerly a resident of this cite, was arrested in Greenville-upon a warrant issued by Deputy State insurance Commission er Wharton charging him with aiding in the burning of the building at Pel zer. Simmons waa brought to Ander son and lodged In the county jail. On Saturday ot last week Oscar Sargeant wss arrested In Anderson on a war rant charging him with having fired the building. /Ie also waa placed in the county jail. Last Tuesday Sheriff Ashley re eel ved a telegram from the authorities at Savannah stating that they had olaced under arrest Gus Sargeant und were holding him for the county au thorities here. Wednesday afternoon Sheriff Ashley left for Savannah to bring Simmons back to Anderson. He arrived here yesterday ht noon with his. prisoner. Withing leas than an hour after he hsd arrived in Anderson Simmons was making an effort, to secure hie release on ball. In custody of Depaty Sheriff Williams and accompanied by his would-be bondsman he went to tho of ?mr&cs of ?fagistrate Broadwell and made application for bail. This the mag Hi Istrate refused to grant him, taking ? the- position that he was' without jur ? Udlction. ? ADVISABILITY OF ~ ELEVATOR SYSTEM TONTINUKD FROM PAPE THREE ) fluctuations are not so violent os on I some ether commodities. There are ? three outlets for grain. First outlet: The markets of the ?State. 80 long as the producer docs not exceed the demand and consump l tlon in the State, and as long to uv ?has not the market machinery for i distribution, the price rill reman the i same as the price in th? Middle West -plus tbs cost of getting it to South Carolina. At present corn is selling at 58 cents per bushel in the Middle West, in central Illinois for instance. The wholesale price in Columbia ls 98 cents, or a difference of 84 cents. The difference ls greater just now titan at any other times during the year because new corn contains a great deal ot moisture and shrinkage requires more margin. On an average the difference in price between the West and South Carolina ls 80 cents. The expense of getting the corn [ from ceatral Illinois to South Caro lina la estimated as follows: The U linois tanner takes his grain to tho toefl elevator, which receives from-^2 to 4 cents for handling. At the local elevator the corn lr loaded in bulk, about 1,000 bushels tb the car. and then ii eh?yv?d ic a Transfer elevator at Nashville or Cincinnati or Louis ville, where it is recleaned and sack ed. The vost ot the sacke ls 4 cents per bushel. Milling ta Transit. There is . a special arrangement ! called a "minto* tatransit rat./' by ?which the grain may bo,stopped off 1 at these transfer elevators sud thence [dispatched fp the ports or .the cou i tumers ai iee ikrsegh raie from ute original point to the point of desti nation Ka other words, taste ;d ot two local 1 mes, from. central Illinois ta Nashville and thence to Columbia there is a sU-gle low through rate, per muting the grain to be pulled in transit without change ot the through rate. South Carolina is making an effort to get' this rate from the farms to tbs transfer points in thi* State and tenbee to Charleston. The "mt? tn* ta transit'' rate from central Illi nois to South carolina 1? about 40 cents per 100 or 88 4-10 c*?** per bushel se corn weigh* 66. pound? to tho bushel. With the cost of the sagas sad the handling at the ele vators, the cost of bandung from cen ta**. Hleuoi* to Columbia ts about 20] cents per bq*h*L And *U of the com that comes fb\ South Carolina is not from central Diktats ead ota*r grata ?rowing oec ttafea>*re the same milling ta transit rata? to points where the corn is sol*. One trouble In thc way of starting 0 regatar grata producing host?eee ta this State, said Mr. Smith, is that Ohe 1 tannera, have : beetv purchasers here Official rJ of Rate Railroad shippers in Anderson have ? paid considerable attention to tba pro* ! posed ? per cent, advance on the part i of carrying ' companies in ?he .United j States and many of them have re-} quested additional information from, the Anderson Chamber ot ' Commerce ; as to why certain railroads deemed thia necessary. The following excerpt from an address delivered by George D. Dixon, vice president in charge of traffic of the Pennsylvania railroad gives a pretty clear idea ot how tho railroad looks st .the proposition: j "In order clearly to understand the meaning of tht ? nar cent, advance . rate case now awaiting decision by the Interstate Commerce Commission, lt should be borne in mind that the ab normal conditions brought about by the European war did not constitute, the.primary justification for the rail-, roads' application. 'It was 'the fundamental un- i soundness--war or no war-?, that had been* previously shown to} exist in the railroad industry/ that, was responsible for this effort of tho] railroads to obtain additional reve nues. - The Territory Covered. "The pending case covers ali freight rates in what ls known as official ! classification territory, that ls, the re gion between the Mississippi rive: I and north of -th? Ohio and Potomac rivers. This territory embraces three rates structures, one, known as Cen tral Freight Association, covering the region between the Mississippi and Buffalo and Pittsburgh; toother known as Trunk Line Territory, -be-, tween Buffalo and Pittuby- h and the Hudson River abd the Atlantic Sea board; and a. third, known as New England territory. "The revenues of 35 railroad sys tems, are involved. These companies represent a total investment in rail road property of over 6,500 million dollars. Their total annual freight revenues ar? about 1,009 mlll'on dol lars. An advance of 6 per cent, in their freight earnings would mean some 5GO.000.000 per year, or about $1.00 per year for each person living in the territory involved. "I shall confine myself at this time to presenting to you reasons why the management of the Pennsylvania Rail road System felt that higher freight rates were necessary, if the Pennsyl vania System waa to be in' a position to maintain its high standard of ser vice arid to develop with the needs of the people whom lt acned. Tte "Fundamental Unsoundness." "The baale factor is that lt now costs more. to. produce increased-! transportation than the money the I public is paying for it-owing to in creased expenses of all kisds, Though tho railroads in recent years have done greatly enlarged business, they have earned less net money than they did before they did the bigger busi ness. That ls whst I mean by a con dition of fundamental unsoundness, "Tho question has often been asked as to whether there should be an in crease in rates until the value of the railroads had been ascertained or, in 1 tofore, and the only price they know ls the price they have paid. They expect that samo .price for what they sell. Some of the farmers think they are entitled to the wholesale price for grain sold within the State. The proposition ls this! Tf the wholesale pri?e per bushol ls 92 cents, what ought the local farmer to expert? If there was a cost or 8 cents per bushel to handle it at thc local elevator and 4 cents per bushe? to sack it and 5 cents to ship it to C's wholesale buyer, ' the farmer should ?9t net 80 cents per bushel, and it ls pointed out that this is 22 cents pier bushel more than the IRlnofs farmer gets for his corn. The Second Outlet Another outlet for the corn pro duced tu South Carolina over and abc re local' consumption would bo "n the export market It com were slip ped from here to foreign markets, the farmer would have to compete directly with the corn growers of tho Middle West. The point qf competi tion between the Middle West ' and the South would be at the export points on the seacoast Therefore the South Carolina lam* ere would be compelled to place such corn at the seacoast at the same price a? the Middle West, could put ft st New. York or Boston. In case tho market machinery is available and freight rates ere balanced,' the cost of putting South Carolina eora Charleston should bo 6 to 7 cents less per bushel then for putting West ern cern, in New York. Thia fl?ate Bhouid reasonably expect a price of S to 7 cents per bushel more , illinois upon an export baals. A third outlet for the surplus grim of grain In South Carolina would in the feeding of liva stock. Wi** price of grain goes down the Idle Western Ran goo*, heavily Into the live stock business. During the last five years the Mid dle Western farmer has only once re ceived less than- 98 conto per bushel for his coin, but ordinarily when the price goes below 60 cents the farmer Isoea Into the live stock business, lt reentres little monsy to go Into Ith?r hog raising business *>d the re time aro quick The farmers can board One bushel of cora makes use ordinary sows and une rrade lea pounds of bog meat sud at 8 couta per pound the pork would bring 80 conto, representing the price of! one bushel ot oom.

Sulth touchel but lightly cm the subject of ute mule Tn hts ad dress, ss lt is a matter which he wishes to open np more thoroughly other words, until thc public has been issured that no rates were to be charged for the purpose of paying ilvtdends on 'watered' stock. But we sro now talking of the ?Pennsylvania System alone,, and the capitalization of our company ls not hvatered. The to'6' amount of money Invested in the road and equipment of ho Pennsylvanie, railroad System ex ?seeds Its total outstanding capital ob ligations in the hands of the public by $185,000,000. "This capital represents the savings Et probably 800,000 independent in esto? who by every dictate of rea on and justice are entitled to a fair et urn upon ?their money. Since Ita ?Organization, .seventy years ago, the Pennsylvania Itali road has accounted for every dollar it bas spent, and has bald bat moderato dividends. The public-rather than tho shareholders -have had the . benefit of the surplus amad,over the'dividends. "Yet the Pennsylvania Railroad is n need of .increased net revenue. The ?Caution Signar of 1910. The railroads in official claszlflca ion territory have made three efforts to secure a generar increase In freight tas. The flrst^was in 1910. It was hen dear that certain tendencies er* at work ?rhl?h promised danger. The ratio of earnings absorbed by operating expenses aras found to be teadily increasing. Here was a den tis caution signal to railroad mar. ?ers. Consequently, they sought to. fleet an increase of about 10 per :ent. In rates on the. higher g-adcs f merchandise-three classes of reight which it was feit would find he Increased rates least burdensome The .ehiet argument underlying the 910 caso was that the surplus over interest charges and reasonable dlvi lends, which the railroads felt they hould earn, was being steadily en -.roached upon; yet lt was upon this ur pl us that, the railroads depended or - margin of aafety against then* iredtt, and also to provide for these ponditures which, while moat de Ktreble from a public point ot view, o not add to hat earnings. I refer o auch outlays- as are Involved in ew passenger stations, stronger ridges, removing ' grade crossings, ubstituting steel fov*woodcn passen er car?, etc. Why a "Surplus.? "A railroad must keep up with the irogress of the times. Though ' the lew practices may earn no more mob' y than the old, the railroad should mt bf Its surplus be able to supply o the public every item of safety and mfort which invention con develop rou can understand what I mean by eflectlng tb>t only a. few years aso a passenger C" '* wa? comprised of o???

High alices for meat production thin wier ter. High prtces fer meat products will undoubtedly prevail next_spring, owing to the shortage of cattle tn the grass belt which have gone into the teed loee this fall,-- the outbreak of foot and month disease in the beef producing states with the resulting uneasineas among the feeders in that section, and the tremendous demand for food supplies which will undoubt edly come from the warring nations of Europe. These conditions offer opportunity In lire stock production for the South Carolina farmer, not only for a profitable enterprise, but also for the permanent solution of some -of hts knottiest agricultural problems. Any activity which the farmer at tempts should bo in the nature of a gradual development snd growth, with a view to producing enough meat for home consumption and a small surplds. rather than a plung ing into it suddenly on a tarts- scale. He should conserve the best breeding H tock on the farm whloh m&y be available, Instead of consigning it tp the pork barrel or the butcher, and should procure a pure bred sire of the proper type with which to grade up bis herd until good, marketable ?stuff lu being produced. In this manner the farmer can gradually grow Into livestock production with a small-outlay-of money and eau market his surplus while high prices are prevailing. Beet and pork can be produced to advantage in South Caro lina and the times offer opportunities which should not be overlooked; Pork production especially is a pro fitable enterprise, yielding maximum returns In a short time, with a small outlay of capital. The development ot beef production on the farm should in all cases bo accomplished with the es tablishment ot permanent pastures. Interest in the breeding of live stock has developed very rapidly in Sduth Carolina ard tn several conns ties live stock associations have been formed for cooperation among mem bers and for the discussion of liva stock problems of common interest These organizations have already been of large value to the communl- I Lies in which they er.tst, as well ss to the individual members. They have been organized ir Oconoe, An ierson, Greenville, Sparenburg. York snd Calhoun contica and Greenwood county ts about to be organised. The extension division of Clemson College has cooperated with several sf these associations in Importing live stock from other states and bas supplied the members with bulletins, circulars and other material of in terest to them which is distributed From 'timo to time. Farmers who kr?' interested in growing live stock ire urged to join these associations in the counties where they already ii ave been formed, in order that they may have all tho assistance possible, joth from the association and from Clemson College, in making their live stock business both pleasant and profitable.
