DEMURRAGE CASE
BEING CONSIDERED
A discussion of the question of re
ciprocal demurrage In whlcl! represen
tatives of the railroads and of the ship
pers of the state took part, consumed
the time of the railroad commission at
the session Tuesday morning.
A number of the representatives of
the railroads accepted the Invitation to
present their claims as to why the poi:
Icy of reciprocal demurrage should not
he adopted and would work a hardship
upon the railway companies.
It was claimed that the railway com
panies always respond as quickly as
possible to calls for cars and that they
should not be subjected to a fine when
their failure to do so Is caused by a
physical Impossibility to comply with
the demand. It was also claimed that
a shipper might be Justly subjected to
a fine when he falls to load or unload
a car within reasonable time, because
lie anticipates the arrival or departure
of the car, but that In the case of the
railroad the reverse Is true.

of that city, who was using the food by
the advice of his physician. She says:
"They derive eo much good from It
that they never pass a day without
using It. While I won there I used the
Pood regularly. I gained about 16
pounds and ifelt so well that when I
returned home I began using Grape-
Nuts In our family regularly.
"My little'16-rponths-oId baby short
ly after being weaned was very III with
dyspepsia and teething. She was sick
nine weeks and wo trlod everything.
She became so emaciated that It was
padful to handle her and we thought
we were going to loee her. One day a
happy thought urged me to try Grape-
Nuts snaked tn a little warm milk.
“Well. It worked like a charm, and
she began taking It regularly and Im
provement set tn at once. She Is now
getting well and round and fat as fast
as possible on Grape-Nuts.
"Some time ago several of the fam
ily were stricken with lagrlppe at the
same time, and during the worst stage*
we could not relish anythin* In the
shape of food but Orape-Nut* anil
oranges, everything else nauseated u«-

HARDWICK GOT HOI
WITH ATTORNEY IN
It M HEARING
Question of Veracity Almost
Brought to Point in '•
Court.
Washington, Sept. 10.—When the
eesslon of the hearing In the North
Carolina rate case began this morning.
Captain Thom continued his direct ex
amination of S. H. Hardwick, passen
ger traffic manager of the Southern,
who went on the stand yesterday aft
ernoon. Captain Thom read hts ques
tions from a list prepared before the
hearing began and Mr. Hardwick’s an
swers were likewise read.
Mr. Hardwick was asked If he had
not at a previous hearing testified that
the Interstate and Intrastate earning*
of the Southern railway were kept
separate. Mr.-Hardwick denied that
he had so testified. .Captain'Thom ob
jected on the ground that the witness
could not be made to testify regarding
the operation of other departments than
hla own. This followed a request from
Mr. Bryant, counsel for the state: that
Mr. Hardwick furnish Information on
this point Immediately for the purpoie
of Incorporating it In the record.
Captain Thom here objected and
Judge Montgomery Interposed. He In
formed the lawyers for the state that
they could not question the veracity of
the witness and would therefore have
to produce a record of the evidence In
question.
Mr. Bryant said he had a record of
the proceedings. The testimony of Mr.
Hardwick was found and It proved that
he had been asked whether the inter
state and Intrastate business of the
Southern In Virginia had been kept
separate and he had testified that such
was the case.
This Mr. Hardwick Informed Mr.
Bryant was an entirely different ques
tion frpm the ono propounded, and
added hotly: "You have no right to Bay
that I testified to such a thing.”
The early part of Captain Thom’s
examination. of the witness waa de
signed to show the disastrous effect of
rate laws and questions tending to
show that reduced rates do not Increase
passenger traffic.

es Disapproval of Dis
. franchisement. .
The resignation from the general as-
sembly of W. H. Rogers, the negro
member of the legislature from Mein

ernor Smith Is out of the city this
week, but It ls # probab!e that Bogers'
resignation will be accepted upon his
return.
Rogers gave no reason for his res<
Ignatlon, but It Is probable that the
passage of the disfranchisement bill
caused him to decide upon this course
of action. ■
