REDUCTION IX FREIGHT RATES. Shake-up in Present System is Ex pected. Greenville, August 22.?Considerable reductions in freight rates, over prac tically all the railroad lines in South Carolina, and a new system of rate charging, are essential features in a proposed schedule of freight rates, made out by the railroad commission of this State, in response to numerous petitions and complaints, which have been made to it. Copies of this pro posed schedule lia' e been sent to the raiiroads. ami thsy are notified to meet the eommissio at 11 o'clock on, September 20, in Columbia, to show cause why the rates should not be put into effect. Copies of these proposed schedules cf rates have been received In the past few Hv8 bj tVo rate commititsi' of the board of trade, which was largely re sponsible for the p. tit on-- , com. plain's which have resulted in the action of the railroad commission. The present system of rates for freight transportation through South Carolina is divided for the most part Into ten-mile blocks. Freight shippers are required to pay according to this ten-mile block division, which means that if a point is L'l miles distance, 'he shipper must pay freight on 30 miles, or for any distance between the tens, the higher ten is charged. Fix-Mile Breaks. Should the proposed schedule of rates be ordered by the commission in September, the divisions will be in live-mile blocks, instead of ten, which will mean much saving for smaller distances. In addition to this, there is also a reduction in the actual rates, and the revised schedule will mean a great saving to freight shippers all over the State. As an example of the saving effect ed by this proposed schedule, the dis tance from Greenville to Spnrtanburg is thirty two miles. Shippers bei ween these two points at present pay freight Charges for forty miles, which is cents per hundred pounds, for lirsi < lass freight matter According to the proposed schedule, the shippers will pay for freight over only thirty-five miles, and with the reduction of the freight charges, the rate on the same class will be only 28 cents per bundl ed pounds. Charleston and Greenville. The reduction in freight rate be tween Charleston and Greenville will bo 5 cents per hundred pounds, for first class matter, which will mean a reduction or 5 cents per hundred pounds on freight shipped from New York to Greenville, as practically all this traflle goes through Charleston. People at Charleston will, under the proposed schedule, pay freight to Snm mervlile on only twenty-five milon. in stead of thirty, as heretofore, which will effect as great saving. The actual reduction, regardless of the milage, is shown by the difference in rate from Creenville to Pelzer. a distance of sixteen miles, t'under both old and new schedules, the freight milage would be twenty miles, but with the new schedule, the cost per hundred pounds will he only 20 cents, as against 2G cents at present. Over 5 Cents Reduction. For the Mist seven classes of freight matter, which includes practically ev erything which is shipped by freight, ?be average rate per hundred pounds for the first fifty miles would under the proposed schedule be 22 cents, as against the present average of 37 cents. For the seven classes, for one hun dred miles, the average price would bo ?.I 5-7 as against .'13 6.7 nnder the pres ent regime. For 260 miles, which will tako in the distance from this city to Charleston, the average rate would be 43 2-7, against the present rate aver age of 45 6-7. Those reductions appear small, hut for the shorter distances they will amount to a con?tdorable reduction When large shipments are made, nnd in the course of time there will be con siderable saving In freight charges. It Is the hope of the rate committee of the board or trade here that the pro posed schedule, which the commission has drawn up and submitted railroads will bo ordered by th. the meeting on September " believed that while there mnv. q ; ? < minor changes, the schedule. to be put into ecect when the sion meets. FARMERS' INSTITUTE AT FOUNTAIN INN Rally was Splendid Success from Ev ery Point of View- Varied and Valuable Information. Greenville, Aug 20.?The farmers' Institute at Fountain Inn, memorable for the huge and attentive crowds tlial came to It, for the varied staff thai gave instructions and as mark ing the close of the Clemson itiner ary, has just closed. The staff was the largest and strongest that has ever attended a farmers' institute In South Carolina. Its personnel consisted of Dr. D. N. Harrow, director; Prof. Keltt, Prof. Jackson, Prof. Conrad!, Prof. Bur gess, Prof. Mercler of the United States department of agriculture, Misses Hyde and Briggs of Winthrop college and Secretary .lames Henry Rice Jr., of the Audubon society. Everything from birds and bugs up to live stock and dairying was taught by night and day. There were two sessions of the institute each day and illustrated lectures at night. The illustrations by means of stereop ticon views were vividly brought out. Prof. Conradl's lectures on insects were never surpassed in the South or anywhere else for thai matter. Conrad I is a great authority?a tlrst hand authority?who corrects the books for you and shows wherein Northern authors fail in describing the habits of insects in the South, since insects have entirely different habits North and South. For example, the house fly breeds only hi horse stables at the North, be cause cow manure and other places are cold and unsuitable for hatching eggs and feeding larvae: but in the South cow manure, closets and garb age cans furnish the fly Ideal breed ing grounds and they multiply just as fast In these places as they do in horse stables. The remedy is to keep the yard scrupulously clean and keep all manure In dark covored recep tacles where Mies can not get at It. Nobody that heard Prof. ConradiV. description of the house fly can doubt that as an enemy of the human race the fly is more to bo feared than the rattlesnake. Farm Statistics. Prof. Harrow lectured in the day on comparative farm statistics, show ing average earning power of labor ers, value of live stock owned and other matters of live interest to farm ers. This was varied by treatment of other themes on different days. Dr. Harrow has a (dear, strong voice and lets it out, so that he is heard with ease in any part of a hall, lie has had charge of the entire Itinerary and his arrangements on the whole have been entirely satisfactory. This is a difficult and delicate undertaking when arrangements for three sep arate parties of men have to be made over a period of two months in evorj quarter of the state. He deserves great ^credit for his success in getting the Rest Institutes Clemson lias ever had. Prof. Mercier has charge of the important branch of pasture mak ing a subject neglected generally in this State?and it is hoped that his work will fruit in more attention be ing paid to it in the future. Prof. Hurgess is the dairyman of Clemson. and his instruction in but ter-making and in proper selection and care of dairy herds was among the most valuable given of vital im portance to the home life of the peo ple. Prof. Jackson has charge of live stock, and to the average South Car olinian that means horses, nothing but horses. He gave much informa tion about horses, their care and se lection, but he covered wider ground. Home Making. Miss Hyde, witli her assistant. Miss Briggs, had daily conferences with women a., to home-making. No home-makers" club was formed, since Fountain Inn already has a mothers' (dub. hut the organization was vital ized?thoroughly aroused to the need of making better homes. Prof. Kelt, whose work has al ready been commented on. took his favorite theme of fertilizers, showing how to hake fertilizers on tin1 farm and thus save freight on useless fill ers; also discussed fertilizers as plant food, showing what the various ele ments did. Prof. Keltt is a coming man; and lie is coming fast. Value of llirds. In my last talk to the farmers I told them wherein the value of birds lay. the use of the seed eaters and of the insect eaters, the value of the hawks and owls and of tl Moreover the conditio' ' well known to ever, game going fast 8 being dest ro';.

From the mountains to the sea the same Indorsement has been given, leaving no doubt in any honest mind that the people of South Carolina are, practically a unit in demanding the hunter's license. Next week there will be a round of institutes covering plates that could not be reached on the regular itiner ary. The last of the month there will be a grand farmers' rally at Clemson college, as already published in The State. From present indica tion this will be an immense gather ing from every part of the State and Clemson is getting ready to give them a reception worthy of the great cause and worthy of Clemson. .lames Henry Rice, Jr. A GOOD REASON.
