Kodol Dyspepsia Cure DigMts what you eats The President as a World-Reformer Getting Tangled—A Sensation Re garding Private Car Lines. Washington. D. C., June 14 The things uppermost in the minds of offi cial Washington, the visiting states men, the gossips, the quid nuncs and all sorts and kinds of politicians are the recent Ohio State Convention, the terrible wrench the president and Sec retary Taft have given the stand pat Republicans on the tariff question, rail road rate regulation and the private car line people and the attempt to throw it into them over the protest of the people who raise the fruits and the berries for market. There will he plenty to write about from here all the summer on these very topics and as they are the things the people are most interested in 1 will devote most of my letters to them from now on. The president, in trying to reform the world and everybody and every thing in it, is getting somewhat tangled in his dates. His recent public pro nouncements on railroad rate regula tion, and those of a part, at least, of ids official family have been to the effect that he wanted government rate regulation in order to build up the com merce of the country. That harp string lias been played on for all it is worth in aid of the presidential aspiration of his friend, Secretary Taft, whom he evidently is endeavoring to make his residuary legatee. American produc ers must be protected and encouraged was his theme, even if the railroads of the country and their stockholders should he bankrupted in the process of protection to these producers, for whom he evinced so much paternal anxiety. Yet when the question of furnishing si eel rails and supplies for the Panama railroad came up, he and his favorite s cretary forgot the poor American producer of these supplies .and he or ders the commission to go out into the wide, wide world and buy where they can buy the cheapest, promising that no duties whatever should be imposed on purchases made abroad. Did he for get the producer whose alleged oppres- sion by the railroads had so aroused bis sympathy when the question of railroad rates engrossed his attention? There’s consistency for you. The result is going to he that he will have the biggest fight on his hands when the next congress meets in extra session next fall that ever was had sinre the revolt against Grover Cleve land by the men in his own party. He will have aligned against him all the stand pat Republicans, all the Repub licans who are against his radical rail- mad rate regulation scheme and many of the Southern congressmen who. last session voted for the Esch-Townsend bill in the house. There is a reason for the change of mind among the South ern men on the railroad regulation game. It is a late thing and I will ex plain it fully In my next letter. The South started out squarely be hind President Roosevelt’s movement for qualified government, rate-regula tion. but the sentiment is changing rapidly and, as I say, I will give the reason in my next letter. • • • One of the sensations of the recent hearings before the senate committe on interstate commerce was the col lapse of the attempt to place the pri vate car lines in a hole then soap the sides and pull up the ladder. The pri vate car lines, so-called, really the re frigerator car lines, that everybody who know nothing of the facts was calling a howling monopoly and that was oppressing the people with all sorts of exorbitant charges, turns out to be something that the people want and are perfectly willing to pay the charges for and that they say they can not get along without. 1 admit frank ly that I was prejudiced against them myself and thought they were robbing the people and 1 also admit that 1 got my information about them from the middle man, or commission merchant, from whom, it seems all the hue and cry has emanated and not from the people who deal with the private car lines, the people out In the country who raise the fruits and berries that they want to get to market, in short, the producer, and my sympathies al ways are with the man behind the hoe or the plow. Simply because the mid dle man, the commission man, does no longer get any commission out of the fruit and berry raiser he is howl ing about the monoply of the refrigera tor car people because they bring the raised berries to market so the raiser can sell them direct to the e msumer and is responsible to th* 1 ra'ser if they do not arrive here in proper condition. But, I will allow the fruit raiser to tell his own story about the private car lines, by quoting from some of the tes timony before the senate commltte on interstate commerce. One of the first witnesses among the fruit growers was Mr. I B. Pansake, of West Virgi nia. He testifies that when they com menced business about fifteen years ago the business was very small, but by judicious management and a good car line service in the way of 1 irlgera- tion, It had expanded until now they had over a quarter of a million trees hearing fruit. He said; “During the last six or eight years the hulk of the products from these orchards has been shipped In refrigerator cars, and so popular has this method become that I can not see how we can in any way dispense with It; and If anything Is done to deprive us of this service in the future I think that a crisis must arise that would inevitably result in disaster, not only to the fruit interests in our State, but throughout the fruit districts of the country generally." Another fruit grower and shipper witness was Mr. H. L. Gleason, of Hartford, Mich. He testified that he grew peaches for the market, that he used the Armour refrigerator cars ex clusively and never had a loss during the season. He said that in the year of 1900 the railroad company sent out word to the growers that It. would do the Icing of the carefree and do their shipping In that way. Thinking It would he cheaper he had tried that scheme and he had lost over one-third of his shipments for want of care, for want of ice and for various other reas ons. He said he had gone back to the Armour car, had used it ever since and never had sustained a loss. He said he came here at the request of the growers in his section of the State of Michigan and could have brought a pe tition signed by every one of them in favor of the Armour car—that is un less they could get equal service with some other car. He showed receipts of two cars of the same quality of fruit shipped to the same parties at about the same dates. One of these cars was free and owned by the railroad com pany and the other was the Armour car. The Armour car on the market netted him $39G.77 and the free car $230.84. He said that was about the average all the way through and that they would not do without the Armour car unless they could get as good ser vice for the same money in some other car. He said that if the Armour car line people were put under the jurisdiction of the interstate commerce commission and that commission should cut down the rates of the private car system so that it would cripple the service that it would ruin the fruit of the State of Michigan. These are some of the things told by the people right from the country where these letters are read and they undoubtedly are true. The people have the right to know the truth. Charles A. Edwards. TWINS AID SISTERS. Vtjiewnatism What Id the use of telling the rheumatic that he feels as if his joints were being dis located ?

Recently in Mark’s Creek township, six miles from Raleigh, twin sisters, Ida and Pearl Ray. disappeared from their home and no trace of them was discovered until they were found two miles from home. They are ten years old and were found in a barn where they had been two days, food being carried to them by two twin brothers, Ralph and James Moore, who are about, the same age. The two girls, it seems were punished for some triv ial misconduct at home and started, they say, to drown themselves in a pond about a half-mile from the home of their parents. They met the twin boys and told them they were on their way to drown themselves and the boys began to dissuade them, with the result that they induce.! them to run away instead. It develops that a number of the children in the neigh borhood knew where tin* twins were, but kept their secret faithfully to save then from further punishment they feared they would receive at home. Oh! the Sadness Of It! Tenderly she laid the silent, white form beside those that had gone be fore. She made no out-cry, she did not weep. Such a moment was too precious to be spent in Idle tears. But soon there came a time when it semed as If nature must give way. She lifted her voice, and cried long and loud. Her cry was taken up by others who were near, and it echoed and echoed over the grounds. Then suddenly all was still. What was the use of It all? She would lay another egg tomorrow.

Holmes, the State geolo gist, has prepared a very interesting report on “The Tin Deposits of the Carolinas.” It appears thai tin ore is found in thirteen States, but. with the exception of the discovery in Alaska, the ore deposits in North and South Carolina are the only ones discovered in recent years that offer any chance of becoming commercially productive. The ore was discovered near King’s Mountain, in North Carolina. 22 years ago. bin interest in the matter has been marked only since* the discovery in 1903 of the Ross mine, at Gaffney, S. C. The report traces the Carolina tin belt from Gaffney, Cherokee county, South Carolina, in a general northeast ern direction across this county, the southeastern corner of Cleveland rounty. North Carolina, and across Gaston and Lincoln counties in North Carolina, and suggests that the depos its In Rockbridge county, Virginia, may be a continuation of the Carolina tin belt across Catawba, Iredell.
