It seems that the shiiv pers have just discovered that in the tariff which the railroads recently filed with the interstate commerce commission, they inserted as rule three of the tariff the following clause: "The rates herein naired are subject to the absolute and unqualified right of the initial carrier to determine the routing beyond its own line." The shippers, who have had their attention called to tills clause in the new west ern tariff, state that if the rule Is strictly enforced it will take away their Independence in the matter of making their shipments, amounting practically to a privilege to pool traf fic. and denies to the shippers a great commercial asset. The right of the shippers to route freight as they pleas? Is one of their most valuable assets and to take it away from them and give it to the railroads means that the railroads will be able to forjn almost any combination to divert ton nage to favored roads. •=j reSular train- —On New Years day the Baptist I Boys' basket ball team will go to Mount Pleasant for a game to meet a squad from that city.
