President Taft Declares Himself
in Favor of Inland Waterways.
Mr. Taft Declares Work on Improve
ments Has Been Nothing More Than
“a Procession of Jerks.”
Corpus Christi, Texas.—ln an open
address here before the Interstate In
land Weaterways league and the citi
zens of Corpus Christi, President Taft
announced himself as strongly favor
ilng a permanent and practical sys
tem of inland waterways as a means
of controlling railroad rates, and sald
that he favored the policy of issuing
bonds for carrying out a practical sys
tem of improvements,
Up to the present time, Mr. Taft
declared, congress has provided for
improvements in piece meal fashion
and the work on improvement has
been nothing more than “a procession
of jerks.” Before any project is en
tered upon, the president declared, it
should be thoroughiy considered, in
vestigated and reported upon by a
board of engineers as to its feasibil
ity and desirability.
Once the improvement is declared
desirable and the communities which,
it is to serve can convince congress
that their growth has been such as
to justify the expenditure of a large
sum of money to take care of increas
ing - trade, bonds should be issued in
order that the improvements may be
gearried into effect at once and the
benefits of it be quickly secured.
The president took occasion to re
fer to that in some localities that
there is a disposition to do injustice
to the railroads and to drive the cor
porations to a system of economy,
which prevents the development of the
country through which they pass. The
president said it was often the case
that the citizens of a county would go
to any extent to get a railroad to come
into the county, but once there, no a
friend of he railroad could anywhere
be found, except perhaps the local
counsel,
The remark called out hearty laugh
ter,
The president turned serious again,
however, and urged a “square deal”
for the railroads, that they might not
be deprived of reasonable profits
through popular prejudice.
CAR SHORTAGE IN SOUTH.
American Railways Make Statement
on Car Situation.
Chicago, !lll.—The American Rail
ways’ fortnightly statement made
public here shows a shortage of 23,-
431 cars in the east and south, and
a surplug of 35,977 in the west and
northwest, The report adds: “There
geemg to be no doubt that the rail
roads are carrying as much [reight
as they did in October, 1907, and it is
to be noted that the shortages are
one-third of what they were then,
when there was no surplus at all. The
surplus has been reduced 17,4111 in
the last two weeks. It is probable that
we have reached or nearly reached a
maximum shortage, although it is
probable that the surplus will be fur
ther reduced, If there js any serious
shortage this fall, it will provably be
upon the commercial roads.
SWALLOWED GOLD TOOTH.
Macon Woman Had Gold Crown in
Her Lungs a Year.
Macon, Ga.—ln a violent coughing
spell Mrs. Walter Garrity coughed a
displaced gold crown from a tooth
from its lodging in her lungs, where
it had been a year and a day. She
was desperately ill and physicians
had contemplated an operation, She
will recover, it is believed.
A year has passed since she was
in a dentist chair getting work done
on her teeth, A crown in her mouth
slipped and she drew it into her
lungs. She had several severe at
tacks, but improved each time until
the foreign matter was finally thrown
off.
ANTHRACNOSE DOES GREAT DAMAGE.
Digease in Cotton is Spreading and
is Costing Planters Millions.
Columbia, 8. C.—ln a report just
made to Commissioner Watson, State
Botanist Barre declares that the dis
ease of anthracnose in cotton is cost
ing the growers of the state probably
$5,000,000 yearly and the Georgia
planters possibly as much as $14,000,-
000 each year, According to Mr.
Barre, the disease is spreading. Its
worst manifestations have followed
the use of imported seed, for which
reason he urges that inspection of cot
ton seed be provided for in the pro
posed legislation to minimize pellagra
by the inspection of grain.

So the Government Vital Statistics Show.
Tuberculosis Is Decreasing.
Washington, D, C.—The great fight
against tuberculosis is being won, ac
cording to Chief Statisticlan Cressy
L. Wilbur, of the division of vital sta.
tistics, United States Census Bureau,
In a bulletin issued he says:
“A continued decline in the death
rate from it from year to year, may
be expected.”
He says that the organization of
many state and local anti-tuberculo
sls socleties since the international
congress on tuberculosis in Washing
ton in 1908 has helped to check the
disease, The total deaths from tu
berculosis returned in 1908 was 79,
289, exceeding those of any previous
year of registration, but the death
rate per 100,000 for 1908 is consider
ably loss than that for 1907, In all
registration states, the death from
the tuberculosis showed a decline, ex
cept in Colorado, Rhode Island and
Vermont,
Mr, Wilbur notes pellagra as a dis
ease of Increasing importance with
twenty-three deaths recorded in 1908.
This does not include the bulk of pel
legra deaths in the south, from which
no records are received. Among the
rarer disease, smallpox caused nine
ty-two deaths; plague, five; yellow
fever, two; leprosy, eleven and hy
drophobia, eighty-two,
COTTON GINNERS KiPORT.
5,320,000 Bales Had Been Ginned to
October 18.
- Memphis, Tenn.—The report of J.
A, Taylor, president of the National
Ginners’ Association, indicates that
there hag been ginned to October 18,
5,320,000 bales, which is nearly a mil
lion bales less than was ginned in this
period last year. The reprt says.
As the heavy ginning of September
was kept up the first week in Octber,
the falling off has nearly all come in
the last half of the latter month,
Tha crop is 79.7 picked, compared
with 54.5 last year at this Lirie, and
indicates almost a crop disaster, ex
cept in Georgia and the Carolinas,
where the crop is better, but not as
good as expected a month ago. The
yield is reported disappointing in all
sections of the belt, probably due to
smallness of the bolls. Mississippi,
Louisiana and Arkansas have the
shortest crop ever grown, and will
total a little over half of last year’s
crop, while Texas is not much better.
OBLITERATE CASTE LINES.
Methodist Home Mission Board Dis
cusses Work Among Operatives.
Charlotte, N. C.—The special con
ference of the home mission board
of the Methodist church, south, call
ed to consider the relation of the
church to the industrial problem,
came to an end with the adoption of
resolutions embodying suggestions
as to the most advantageous steps
to be taken in the conduct of work
in mill settlements. The substance
of the discussion was that caste lines
in the church must be obliterated and
that the churches in the cities having
outlying mill settlements must contri
bute to the work amongst cotton mill
operatives.
Statistics read in the conference
show that there are in the south,
842 cotton mills, with 411,542 mill
people, and the eagerness of the mem
bers of the conference to reach these
people was manifest.

erine’s Hospital, Brooklyn, never hav

fact, the senator himself realized that
his end was near.

| was elected president of the Union
Pacific railroad, to succeed the Ilate
E. /1. Marriman, at a meeting of the

ian families of New Orleans, Lewis
Manacia, aged twelve years, is dead
and his mother and two children are
dying. They ate 'sugar sent them as
a present, It was discovered. that it
wae sent by enemies of the family.
Rocky Boy and his band of Chip
pewa Indians, numbering about one
hundred and fifty braves, encamped
near Birds Eye, Mont., probably will
owe their rescue from death by star
vation to the promptness of Indian
office officials, who took speedy
means to relieve their desperate
plight. -

en after a lengthy discussion, argu
ments in favor of the resolutions be

Anti-Pain Pills is the only remedy

MRS. G. DAVENPORT,
Roycefield, N. J.
For the pains of rheumatism there
is nothing that can equal
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills.
They overcome that nervous irri
tation, relieve the pain_and swelling,
while they have a tendency to aliay
fever. If taken as directed they are
invaluable to chronic sufferers, as
the weakening effect of pain is less
ened. Try them—your druggist
