lumber shipments through socalled

lowances on account Of the logging

logs from their timber lands to their
various mills along the lines of the
railroads.
Such shippers. Tie complaint al
lagos, ARE treated as carriers pro tan
to of the lumber manufactured from
tie logs billed out and over the said
railroads. Upon the false thory that
such shipprs are engaged in the con
tinu0us interstate and inter-carriage
of their lumber they are allowed and
paid a substantial portion of the
freight from the point of shipment to
the point of destination, no matter
how many lines of railroad participate
in the carriage. The so-called tap di-
vision amounts to a rebate from the
regular and published tariff rates
chargeable against shippers in gen

London's First BRIDGE.

The first London bridge is said to
have been built in 97S. A bridge of
wood was constructed in 1044 and was
partly burned in 1886. The last old
bridge was commenced about 1176 and
completed in 1909. There were gate
houses and the bridge was lined with
stores. 1t was the custom to hang the
heads of criminals on London bridge.
The head of Sir William Wallace was
hung there in 1905; Simon Frisel,
1906; Lord Bardolf, 140S; Bolingbroke,
1440; Jack Cade, 1451; Fisher,
bishop of Rochester, 1885; Sir Thorn
as More, 1886. There were many 9TH
ers. All the houses we're taken down
in 1856 and the bridge burned in 1774.
In 1924 a new bridge was begun 200
feet west of the old bridge. 1t was
opened in August, 1881.

Once upon time there was po-
litician who, through the judcious dis
pensiag OF favors, had drawn to him
self many friends, with whom he
formed q strong combination for mu-

Finally the politician was detected
in irregular con1Det, and his friends
insis+eo Oh thorough and searching
examination BY a committee of their
own appointing. When the committee
made its fiHal report the politician was
exonerated and highly commended for

Carl August Walbrodt, whose death
Is reported from Berlin, was one OF
the well-known masters of modern
chess and among the Germans was
ranked second only to Tarrasch. He
was only 30 years old, yet had been
conspicuous player for about a dozen
years. His early successes were re-
markable and unbroken until 1894,
when he was beaten by Tarrasch.
He was a player of the intuitive sort

North Carolina Going Dry.

Charlotte, N. c., October 12.-The
liquor makers end sellers Of North
Carolina are being put out Of busi-
ness by the temperance people. The
last Legislature passed q bill that
closed oil the rural distilleries, $50 or
moro, in July; and the fall elections
are either giving the towns dispen :
saries or putting them dry.
An Anti-Saloon League, with Jo-
seph w. Bailey, editor of the Biblical
Recorder, the organ Of the Baptis t
Church in the State, as chairman, was
organized in Raleigh early in the year
and some effective work is being done
by it. The following towns have
besn carried, some for absolute pro-
hibition and some for dispensary:
Wilson, dispensary; Statesville, pro-
hibition; Gold Hill, prohibition; Ben :
son, prohibition; Elm City, dispen-
sary; Wad ssboro, prohibition; Eliza
beth City, prohibition; Raleigh. the
State Capital, dispensary; Oxford,
dispensary; Rutherfordton, prohibi-
ton; and Hillsboro, prohibition.
The liquor men have scored few
victories. They carried Tarboro for
saloons instead of dispensary; Rox-
boro, against prohibition; Reidsville,
against prohibition; and Morgantown,
against prohibition.
So far no move has been made at
Charlotte, Wilmington, Greensboro,
Winston, Salem or Asheville, the five
leading business towns Of the State.
But there is no telling how long this
can be said. for wave Of temperance
is sweeping the State.
It looks as il the anti saloon forces
were determined, to substitute prohi :
bition or dispensary for bar rooms
wherever they exist. The preachers
make campaign speeches from the pull
pit and some Of them work at the poll
ing places.
AS long as the negro was factor in
politics in North Carolina the Prohi-
bitionists stood no show Of winning,
but with his vote eliminated they
carry everything before them. In
some towns the whiskey supporters
still try to use the negro, but with
poor results. New York Sun.

The Germs OF Death.

Nobody never dies natural death,
says writer in Collier Weekly. Old
age, the premature old age, which is
the only kind we know is patholog-
ical condition. Such are the opinions
Of DR.. Ellie Metohnikotf, not fakir
but serious person, who studies
things through q microscope at the
Pasteur Institute. Each Of us swarms
with tiny beasts of prey, which travel
up and down our bodies, seeking what
they may devour. By attacking our
benefcent cells, previously weakened
by the unwise life we all lead, they
produce an artificial senility, the NAL
ady which kills those men whom in
our ignorance we callvery old. Look
ed at from DR.. Metohnikoff's stand
point, old age is merely problem
for medical science. How shall we
help our bencfcent cells in their
struggle against the enemy? One
way would be to take every baby and
out out his larger intestine, an organ
which ought not to have been included
in our anatomy. AT present this cam
not be done as the method would be
TO destroy the beasts Of prey. But We
do not yet, know what they ev-etly
are. Some are q legacy left b.. Sur
ancestors, immediate and Eemots, Who
suffered from heritable diseases !
Others. more mysterious, are perhaps
the instruments Of q sort of essential
disease, Of that old age which preco-.
ciously kills all who do not die still
earlier Of tuberculosis, pneumonia,
the bubonic plague, or Group. Until
we know more we can only reform our
diet, eating little meat or none. and
subsisting chiefly on butter, cheese
and sour milk. By these imperfect
means we may prolong life little
200 years or so. Up to ninety, for
example, we may be as active as the
