The Hatfield Rail Joint Playing An Im
portant Part in the Railroad World.
Wonderful Invention
Many improvements in railway con
struction have been made in the past
few years and the railroad of today Is
almost totally unlike the railroad of
a few years ago.
A gentleman speaking of the dif
ference in equipment and appliances
of the two eras, remarked upon the
contrast of conditions, citing an in
cident that occurred on one Of our
Southern roads during the war of a
“Efnake head” rising up in a passen
ger coach and impaling a passenger
to the roof.
The "snake head" was formed by a
rail which expanded by the heat of
the sun getting loose from the fasten
ing on the stringer ana slipping over
the car wheel. Such accidents were
common in the early days of railroad
ing, but they could be next to impos
sible with the superior appliances of
the present day.
The wonderful improvements in rail
appliances in the past few years is
the essential outgrowth of the heavy
traffic handled and the proportion
ately powerful rolling stock and sub
■ts«tl*il road bed required to stand
s he enormous strain
The Hatfield Rail Joint.
Railroading has become a science
in which new improvements are con
stantly being made and with which
the modern railroad must keep step,
ir. order to meet the requirements of
the public with respect to speed, com
fort and the handling of heavy ton
nage.
Of the many and marked improve
ments that have been made of recent
jears, the Hatfield Rail Joint plays a
prominent part in the dailroad world
This wonderful invention is the only
joint with positive nut lock, in which
the coil springs and vibration bar
keep all the parts tight.
It is the joint that stays tight, with
no loose bolts and no pounding. Long
experience and the severest tests,
have proven the efficiency and great
utility of this invention, which is now
being introduced and commercialized.
Riverside Mill Replies to Charge That
Bagging is Sprinkled With Water—No
Such Practice By This Organization
To the Editor of The Herald.
Sir; In your Friday,afternoon issue,
under tile caption of "Farmers Gan
Get Cheaper Bagging This Year,’
you published the following:
FARMERS CAN GET CHEAPER
BAGGING THIS YEAR.
The Herald has been handed
the following information that
will be interesting to the farmers
of the South:
“We see a notice in the papers
that a North Carolina party has
called Senator Tillman’s attention
to aYlouth Carolina Bagging Mfg.
Co., sprinkling with water each
50 yard roll of their bagging, ad
ding in weight about 15 pounds
to the 50-yard rolls. We know of
our own knowledge that this busi
ness has been going on for 15
years, and has cost the farmers
in the cotton states, millions of
dollars. Just think of the added
cost on every roll of about 15
pounds of water to the roll, which
dries out at the gin house or im
mediately after placing in on the
bale of cotton. This loss, added
to the bagging trust prices. For
tunately for the farmer he can
buv this year imported bagging,
and will not be at the mercy of
the Bagging Trust as he was be
fore the change of the tariff on
bagging. Foreign bagging is be
ing shipped largely to this coun
try this year."
From the above the reader, if he
purchaser of of Bagging must
conclude that he has only two sources
from which to draw his supply of
Bagging, the Trust or a foreign man
Rev . Howard Lee Jones, of Charleston,
Becomes President of Coker College
At Present He is Pastor of the Citadel Square Baptist
Church —Is a Brother of Rev. M. Ashby Jones of This
City—His Resignation Will Take Place on June 15th.
Rev. Howard Lee Jones, D.D., pastor
of the Citadel Square Baptist church.
Charleston, and brother of Rev. M.
Ashby Jones, D.D., of this city, has re
signed to accept the presidency of Coker
College, located at Hartsville, S. C. The
resignation will take place June the 15th
as it is necessary for Dr. Jones to as
sume the actual wcfrk at once In order to
nrrange for another year at the college.
Dr. Jones' resignation took his church
by surprise, and was a sad shock to
“them. He had been with them so long;
his labors had meant so much to the
church and city, and the entire com
munity had shown Its devotion to the
niinister in so many ways that a change
was not thought of. In fact Dr. Jones
had not considered the change till re
cently.
In speaking of his career the News
and Courier, a Charleston paper, has
this to say:
Sketch of His Career.
Dr Jones is the youngest son of Dr. J.
William Jones, himself a minister and
the father of four sons who are all min
isters of the Baptist church. Dr. J. Wil
liam Jones was Intimately associated
with both Gen. Robt. E. Lee and Gen.
"Stonewall" Jackson. He was well
known as a lecturer and as an author.
Hewas secretary of the Southern Hts
torleal Soetety and at the time of his
death ch;',.aln general of the Lnlted
Confederai. Veterans. The father and
his four sons were affectionately known
In the Southern Baptist convention as
“the five Jones boys." The oldest of
the sons. Dr. Carter Helrn Jones Is at
present paster of the First Baptist
church, of Seattle, Washington. Dr. E.
Pendleton Jones is the pastor of the
Baptist church, fit Newberry. Mr. M.
Ashbv Jones is the pastor of the First
Baptist church, of Augusta, Ga.
Dr. Howard I-ee Jones is resigning
from his fourth charge. Completing his
studies at the Southern Baptist Theo
logical Seminary, he became pastor of a
large country church In “Blue Grass
Kentucky." After three years and a
half he was called to the Baptist
church of the Epiphany, at 61th street
and Madison avenue, New York. H«
remained there at pastor for seven
years. He then accepted a call to the
First Baptist church, of Chattanooga.
Tenn.. where he remained for three
years and a half, coming thence to Char
leston to take charge of the Citadel
Square Baptist church. |
Twice Given Doo'or's Degree.
He is a native Virginian though he has
Mr. TJ. R. Hatfield, of Macon, Ga.,
who was in the maintainance of the
way department of the Southern Rail
way about nineteen years, is the pat
entee of the Hatfield Rail Joint, and
he with the assistance of a number
of rail appliance experts, has brought
it up to its present standard of effic
iency.
Mr. Hatfield is now in the city,
stopping at the Albion Hotel, where
he has the device on exhibition. In
one day, during his stay, he sold 20
miles of joints to a single system.
The Test Made on a Leading Road.
The Hatfield Rail Joint has been
thoroughly tested on one of the lead
ing lines of road going out of Augusta
since last September and a very fav
orable report has been made on same.
Inspection was made and the record
of the foreman of the yard shows that
since a previous report was made he
did not renew a single bolt nor spend
any time tightening same.
Prior to equipping the crossings
with the coil springs and vibration
bar the bolts in the crossings had to
be renewed at least one in 60 days
and tightened to some extent daily.
The crossing on which the device was
used had been in service several
years and was considerably worn.
But since placing the device the
crossing has held up and is good for
a considerable time.
It is confidently claimed by the Hat
field Manufacturing Company, which
is amply borne out by the experience
of a number of railroad officials in
this citv, that the Hatfield device will
not only add life to the crossing but
will reduce the cost of maintainance
to the minimum.
The company is now placing a limit
ed number of shares of stock with the
public, the purpose of which is to fur
nish the capital stock for putting the
enterprise over. Mess. Hatfield and
Roberts will be pleased to meet those
interested at the Albion and explain
the operation of the device.

In the same issue The Herald car
ried an advertisement from the River
side Mills —for help in their Bagging
Department—the above article we in
terpret to be an advertisement in fa
vor of foreign Bagging, and if we are
correct it seems to us in connection
therewith some reference to a worthy
'home industry largely beneficial to
Augusta should have been made by
The Herald. Fortunately for us the
Farmers, Ginners and Merchants of
this entire section know us well and
having used our Bagging for nine
years or more know our product bet
ter.
The article you published was
timely and we are glad this nefarious
practice of loading Bagging with wa
ter has been exposed, but we main
tain it is not necessary for the Far
mer, Ginner or Merchant to go
abroad for their Bagging as they can
secure their supply from a home in
dustry whose existence is a protec
tion to the farmer, and whose every
object and aim in its manufacture is
to merit the farmer’s commendation.
We have shown a number of our
customers through our plant, all of
whom will testify that our porduct Is
not loaded with water, and they
know when they purchase 100 pounds
of Bagging from us, Bagging, not
water, is delivered.
While we would not care to throw
our plant open to the inspection of
the public, we will take pleasure in
carrying the editor of The Herald or
any of our patrons through our Bag
ging Plant so that they can see the
Bagging before it is rolled and see it
while being put into rolls.
Yours respectfully,

PROMISES IN POLITICS.
During a municipal campaign in
Chicago a politician dropped In one
morning to see a certain grocer. Dur
ing the conversation that took place,
the politician asked, “And I may
count upon your support; may I not?”
“Why, no, I am sorry to say," re
plied the grocer. "The fact is, I have
promised my support to the other
candidate.”
The politician laughed. "Ah,” said
he, "in politics, promising and per

“In that case," said the grocer cor
dially, “l shall be glad to give you
my promise, sir."—Llpplncott's.

Shall it be down by the deep sound

Or shall it be in the beautiful blue

veiled in enchanting haze; where the
mountains rise In tier upon tier, and
their slopes are clothed in verdure of
the richest hues, and where the streams
of purest crystal come forth from their
leafy coverts, dancing and glancing in
the sunlight, as they hurry away in
their race for the low-lying lands far

LESSON IX.
THE PRESENT FASHIONS—ARE THEY BECOMING
TO THE AVERAGE WOMAN?
It la often bemoaned by poets and philosophers that
the age of great personal beauty Is past; that there are
today no unique examples of loveliness to which the
world pays homage.
There Is no reason to doubt the existence today of
beauty as compelling as ever adorned the pages of
history, and there Is every reason to believe that the
average woman Is far better looking than has ever be
fore been the case.
GENERAL IMPROVEMENT IN LOOKS.
There are several reasons for this. Women now take
more Intelligent care of their looks; their minds are
twitter cultivated so that intelligence of expression adds
to mere physical charms. Moreover, the modern fash
ion of dressing with Its wide choice is far more be
coming to the average woman than the more flamboy
ant modes of the past which were only suited to very
beautiful types.
In youth at lernst, every woman today has her share
of attractiveness, and the proportion of good looking
women of middle age Is growing larger every year.
INFLUENCE OF DREBB.
While modern dress has not equaled the picturesque
quality of the Renaissance or the gorgeousness of the
courts of the French Louis’, It has expressed precisely
the modern woman and the conditions under which she
lives. Cut and workmanship have Improved; costumes
for practical occasions have grown more comfortable,
more utilitarian, and, as knowledge of dress has be
come more widespread, Individuality In gowning has
become more pronounced. While women, as a whole,
have declared In favor of dressing along certain pre
scribed lines termed "the fashions,” these lines have
been elastic and sufficiently varied to suit different
types. The result has been pleasing and generally be
coming
NEW TURN OF THE WHEEL.
Today we seem confronted with a curious change
In the trend of fashions. Utility seems entirely disre
garded and the erase for the unusual has run riot with
suitability and In some cases with good taste. When
the new models first came from Paris I was puzzled
as to bow they would suit the American woman, whose
personality Is so different from the French type for
whom they were created. On the whole, the new dress
Ideas (I am not speaking of the extreme modes) have
been quickly and In most canes successfully adopted
and In their refined form there Is much to admire about
them.
There was pe.rhaps a danger that women were grow
ing too practical In their Ideas about dressing, and that
tailored suits, clone, straight skirts and sober colors
were too largely considered. Feminine beauty Is one
of the refining Influences of life and it needs a setting
worthy of it.
PHYSICAL DEMANDS OF THE NEW MODES.
To properly and attractively wear the new fashions
the physical charms must be considerable. These
There are also the Hanan white
canvas, and the tan canvas shoes as
well as Sylvester's private brand of
I’alm Beach shoes, to be worn witli
Palm Beach suits, which are quite
stylish and In good taste.
Palm Beach Suits the Rage.
If you haven't already gotten them,
a couple of Palm Beach suits would he
nice to take along. Here you will find
them of the finest quality and of the
finest workmanship.
They always hold their shape nicely
and are cool and comfortable and they
are very durable. And furthermore
they are perfectly washable, making
them an elegant suit for every day
wear of which the cost is a moderate
sum. At Sylvester's the prices are
reasonable compared with the quality
Of the goods.
You will also find there a fine as
sortment of goods of other weaves and
many of them of the finest quality,
and tile product of the leading makers
of the country. They consist of blue
black serges, and worsteds in
checks and stripes.
All suits are put into glass cases on
patent hangers so that they are kept
from from dust and don’t get mussed
and soiled. They are also much moro
conveniently handled than when they
are displayed on tables in piles, us in
the old fashioned way.
The moment you enter the Sylves
ter establishment you are forcibly
struck with the elegance of the store
fixtures and the neatness and good
order that pervades the entire estab
lishment.
The Bates-Street Shirt.
A fine essential of a first class
haberdashery is shirts. Not the
kind that don't fit right and don't look
tight, but the kind that is both. Such
is the Bates-Street brand.
They are made of the best, material
to be had and are of the finest work
manship anil the button holes are well
worked and the buttons are securely
put on, which Is a great desideratum in
a man’s shirt.
The Bates-Street brand have a well
established reputation to sustain, and
this has been built up by serving the
public satisfactorily for a number of
years and at the cost of great care and
the utmost particularity.
It is therefore Incumbent upon the
Bates-Street to put the best goods pos-
gowns are not made for careless and indifferent dress
ers Women now must look sharply after their d*-
merits and heavy or awkward figures, discolored and
lined throats must either be reformed or these fash
fons avoided. If figures are too stout, or If the movp
ments of the body are growing stiff or heavy, physical
exercises must be taken up to correct these faults.
The collariess gown demands a good throat line; the
long, thin sleeves that many of the French models show,
emphasize the attractiveness of a beautiful hand, or
point out the deficiencies of a badly cared for one.
Draped skirts, whether they are split or not, only
appear to advantage If the carriage Is graceful. The
walk must be considered. In short, these fashions are
designed for n certain type and can only be worn to
advantage when that type Is In a measure suggested.
HOW FASHIONS ORIGINATE.
All Important changes In fashions are born In Parts.
They may be changed and adapted to suit the women
of various countries, but they originate In France, the
meeting point of the big dress artists of the world.
French women are very quick to adopt new ideas, and,
when designing the new models, the dressmakers have
In mind certain French beauties, that happen at that
time to be much talked of, some of them on the stage
and some In society. They look to these women to dl*
play the new Ideas to perfection.
For many years Ceclle Sorel, a well-known actress
and famouß beauty, had a strong Influence on Freneh
fashions. Mademoiselle Sorel Is a large, handsome
woman, not young, who shows off sumptuous gowns to
great, advantage. A new type of beauty, however, has
now arisen—a spineless, corsetless, unconventional
typo, what the French call the gamine, which literally
means the street girl. This Is not so high a type of
beauty as that of Mademoiselle Sorels, and the fast*
lons for which It Is responsible are Justly called “freak
styles." However, In transplanting them to America
and for the use of refined womon these gowns hava
been divested of much of their vulgarity.
DREBS ACCEB3ORIEB.
If women are to wear these gowns, they must have
accessories of the same type. Stout walking shoes do
not go with a draped silk skirt. They must also be
prepared to spend time at their toilet. Dainty gowns
and hats that challenge admiration suggest careful
dressing and an attractive and suitable manner of ar
ranging the hair. Not only must shoes be perfect and
of suitable form, but stockings and petticoat must be
dainty. The accessories of dress are always an Impor
tant consideration, and today they seem to demand even
more care and expense. For this reason, In spite of
the few yards of cloth In a dress, these modes are by
no means economical.
ADVANTAGE OF CHANGING FABHIONB.
Women who wear for a long time one style of cob
tume are apt to become —the old-fashioned word well
expresses it—"settled” In their looks. A decided
change Is apt to have a rejuvenating effect and that Is
why In this Instance I am glad to welcome It. The
present soft, low corset will mean a general Improve
ment In the lines of the natural figure. In many cases
physical culture exercises will be necessary.
In hiy next lesson I nm going to take tip the ques
tion of proper breathing and Its effect on health and
beauty Later on I shall give exercises for reducing
and making the figure more supple.
