Both the street rail? way ofBolals and the striking carmen are Standing firm and with no indica? tions of any early settlement, it is be? ginning t?? look as if it Will bo a mat" ter <?f some days before there will be any possibility of operating street cars hers again. The efforts of the Chamber of Com? merce to get the railway officials and the carmen together yesterday after? noon resulted In nothing, for the men stood firmly by their demands and would accede nothing. Although con? ference! between representatives of tin- it reel railway, the striking carmen and the Chamber of Commerce offi rials last, d well into the night, the efforts were fruitlesa There is t ?ik ?>f a sympathetic Btrike among other laboring people, and this Is the latest tur.i in the situation.

Fort Worth (Texas) T. 0 v.l-a nr SEED ALL CARS TO MOVE ('KOI*. State Commission Has Issued Circa? lur on Shipping Cotton and Re? leasing Loaded c ars. Columbia, Oct. 26.?"Owing to the prospective movement (?f cotton, other crops and fertilisers, the attention <>f the railroad commission baa been called to the fact that, while no ac? tual scarcity <?f equipment for freight movement Is threatened, y*'t there iH evidence that all available equipment Will be needed and should be kept em? ployed in the msot expeditious man? ner to avoid congestion and delay and to insure the prompt handling of traffic.'1 This statement Is contained in a circular which was issued today by the railroad commission to the railway lines of the State. The cir , cular was signed by B. L. Caughman, Chairman, and J. P. Darby, secre? tary. "The carriers in South Carolina." the circular continues, "have been adding to their equipment and have adopted many precautionary methods lor the handling of traffic. There the railroad commission desires to ad? vise both the shippers and receivers of freight that they should do all In their power 'to keep the cars mov? ing;' also in loading cars to full ca? pacity when possible to do so. "While certain free time Is allowed for loading and unloading cars, they should be loaded and unloaded as promptly BM possible after being placed. It is unfair to the carriers and to other shippers to hold cars for 72 hours because that much free time is allowed, when the could just as well be handled within much shorter time, say within 24 hours. "Harmonious co-operation between shippers, consignees and carriers in all transactions regarding the hand? ling of freight equipment for the next few months Is the earnest desire of this commission. "It is a mutual duty which shoull be recognized by all concerned." The taxes are still coming In slow? ly in the county treasurer's office. IN SUMTER. Every Claim is Backed by Local Tee. timony.
