In recog nition of South Carolina' conserva tive course toward the railroads, President W. W. Finley, of the South era railway, today gave out an official statement here announcing a eolnn- tarr reduction in passenger rates in South Carolina. "President Finley states also, that an effort will be made to induce eon necting . lines -to agree on an inter changeable mileage plan. The official statement, addressed to Governor "Ansel, in part, ia as follows: "I. A flat rate of 2ys cents per mile for intrastate passenger traffic, with ah extra charge of 15 cents against persons boarding a train ex oept at stations where there are no agents; provided that, no charge shall be less than 10 cents, and in the ev- nt that a charge at the said rate of 2'a cents per mile shall aggregate a sum between two muitriples.. of five, such charge may be made that multi pie of five to which it is nearest. "2. Two thousand mile books, in trastate, -interchangeable with such of the solvent roads or the state as will consent, at 2 cents per mile, good for heads o firm and employes' not exceeding a total number of five, the names to be furnished at the time of the purchase of mileage books and entered thereon. '.'3. One thousand mile books intra state, and interchangeable 1 with such of the solvent roads of the state as will consent,' limited to one individ ual, at 2 cents per mile, and good only in the hands of the purchase, the name of the purchaser to be fur nished at (lie time of the purchase of the books and entered theron. "4. Five hundred mile books at 2V4 cents per mile, good for heads of fam ilies and dependent members thereof, intrastate and noninterchangeable, the names of the families to be fur nished at theime of. purchase and entered thereon. "All of such mileage books to be timiteldB one year from date of pur chase, and 'redeemable, charging for the part. used .6 2V&-Bents per mile. " It is further, proposed that these rates shaM be kept in' effect for a' period of twelve months, so as to give, a fair trial to the same and to ascer tain whether or not they are confis catory or unreasonably low for the service .reffdered. ' ' THE FIGHT FOR FORESTS. : -- ; "! V- The January American." Magaaine includes an article on "The Fight for the Forests" by - Stewart? Edward White, author of r"iibV Blaxed Trail," "The x Forest,, etc. Mr. White 1 probably the best man in the country U apeak on this subject.' He lufows our forest, and . what they are worth lo us. Hi article'; ia ex ceedingly spirited and interesting. It offers the plain average reader the best ehanee he can get to grasp the great story jying behind the attack on the United States Forest Service. On' the one'side of this fight ia the destructive greed "of' b7 few. tto ; tbe other is Ihe splendid work , of the Forest, Service in preserving; wealth which, if riotously invaded now, may later hae tiT bo rephteed at a cost of three "billion 'dollars, On this point M:.WhitfJya:T'' .

Southern Railway Offlo Employ No tified That There Waa No Appro priation for His Work Gets Offer aa Section Bosk, at f 20 Redaction, and Accept, I' ' ' Quite an interesting story is being told in railroad; circles about a young man locally employed in the South em Railway offices, who had the grit not to get disheartened when his job took wings, but without deliberating at all, stepped into a vacancy in the ranks of the" section bosses at a salary of about $20 per' month less than what he had' been getting. The railroads-in the South, and in many other parts of the country, if all reports are to be believed, have been dispensing with employe here and there along their lines for some months, affd a the year 1907 came to a close, the loss of one's job be came an almost daily occurrence in the larger towns along the routes of the roads. In Charlotte the other morning, so the story goes, a young man reported as usual for work in' the morning, but was called! aside by his "boss" and the new was gently ( f ) broken to him that the usual appropriation for his department of the office work bad been cut down, and (hat it would be necessary for the office to drop one or two men, and that his place was therefore no longer open. "See here,'' the young man is re ported to have said, "I can't live on nothing, and maintain myself on no salary at allwhat have you got 7 Isn't .there a job of some sort any where!, on the road that you'll give met" "It looks pretty bad right now." said the head man in the office, as he gazed thoughtfully out through the windows, and his eye followed the glistening ratlB as they vanished away down the track, seemingly coming to a point where they met in the dis tance. "There's a section boss out I under stand," said the head man, "but I guess that won't, help you any. I'm sorry.' w 4b , -,"A section boss" job did you say," repeated the young man. 'Yes,-' said the head man, some what surprised at the tone of inter est," but it pays about $20 per month less than you were getting here." The head man thought this would end the conversation. 'When can I go to workf " asked the young man. The job was clinched then and there and the former omce clerk is 'bossing" hands at a salary thaTi considerably less than it once was, Charlotte Chronicle. IN SOCIETY.

In bis annual report Commissioner of Immigration Sargent declares that a substantial proportion of the great migration to this eovntry during the record-breaking year just closed is ar tificially stimulated. ' He finds that the stimulus is given first by those who evade the Contract Labor laws, and next by the agents of the great Atlantic steamship lines. One in fluence to which not sufficient consid eration has been given, he says, is in the letters written from America by the newly-landed immigrant to rela tives and friends left behind. A brother writes to a brother, and be in turq to a hroth-in-law r cousin, giv ing an account of the opportunities of employment. The brother then makes the round-- of the village or neighborhood until more and more are stimulated b the impulse of loco motion. Thus is formed "an endless chain." So far from having anything arti ficial about it, this is a most natural movement. The efforts of steamship agents and violators of the Contract Labor laws go but a small way to in fluence the hundreds of thousands to abandon their homes in the Old World to begin life anew in the United State and other regions of the West ern Hemisphere. They have much better guarantees for their future, as a rule, than the precarious induce ments of steamship agents and em ployers of contract labor. For mul titudes of them there ia a hearty wel come by relatives and friends who have gone before. Of thia feature of the endless chain there ia auffieien: evidence ia the greetings upon the coming of every steamship .to Ellis Island from Europe. . But if th last has been a record- breaking year for immigration, it has been one also for emigration from the United States. ' The official return show that mora than 500,000 steerage . pasaengera left for Europe in the last twelve months. Thia leaves' the act ual volume 'of immigraon much asir it waa in former periods, when there was extremely little emigration and when the eounry'a population waa not mora than half aa great Commission er Sargent will hardly assert that this outward movement ia " artificially stimulated also by agents of steam ship line, and employers of contract labor. The migratory impulse that have quickened mankind in all ages, from the voyage of Jason and his Ar gonauts to the landing of the latest steamship in Philadelphia, are above sneh influence. In ' this . ceaseless movement to and fro aero the At lantic is one of the mightiest .factors of modern civilisation, making more than ngn Congrease for universal peace and the "federation of the word." This is, indeed, and endless acid a. golJe ' ebain. Philadelphia Record. ' '..'', Notions im We begin the new year by carrying a better and most complete lineof notions. A few special values.
