Court in the Mountains.
Judge Emery Speer. of the United
States Circuit Court, has devised a sea-
sonable way OF holding court. He Is TO
listen to complaihants and defendants
and yet enjoy the cool breezes at Mount
Airy. up on the old Richmond and Dan
willie branch CT the Southern Railroad.
Judge Speer has country place Up
in the "Adirondacks of the South" and
he has been there for several weeks.
And while he has thus been enjoying
himself. the lumbermen OF some of the
Southern States decided TO make war
on certain railroads because OF a rate
recently established by which they csc
compelled to pay the roads cents a
hundred pounds on lumber shipped TO
certain Central Western cities.
The lumbermen vOciferously assert
that such rate is going TO put then
out of business, and they have deter
mined that they shall not be compelled
to pay it until the courts decide the
matter. Hence they demand an injunc-
ton against the railroads.

GOVERNOR REFUSED
TIP FOR 100000

ST. LOUIS, Mo. July 4.-Evidence
gathered by Circuit Attorney Folk in the
Doodle inquiry yesterday showed that
while governor of Missouri Lon V.
Stephens, now vice president Of the Mis-
souri, Trust Company of st. Louis. was
offered an opportunity to make 100000
on transit stock after he signed the bill
which legalized the consolidation Of all
St. Louis street railroads with the ex-
ception Of the Suburban, and 10 make
the further sum OF $4,000 if he would
appoint James ]. Butler. son OF col.
Ed Butler, excise commissioner Of St.
Louis. The second proposition, the
former governor says. came direct from
Colonel Butler.
Il answered" said the ex-governor,
"that under no circumstances would /
accept the proposition, and that l would
have nothing to do, directly or indirect
". with the transit properties"

PARKER PROPHESIEo
MORE STATES RIGHTS
New Yorker Tells Of Fourteenth
Amendments Meaning.

TALLULAH FALLS. Ga, July 1.-THE
members of the Georgia State Bar As
ISOLATION yesterday listened to an ad
dress on due Process of Law" by Chief
Justice Alton b. Parker. OF the New
York State court of appeals. who is men
toned as the next Democratic Presi-
Dental nominee.
In conclusion. Mr. Parker referred TO
the Fourteenth Amendment as follows:
More and more every year is due
process OF law invoked, by reason of it's
place in the Fourteenth Amendment, to
challenge the action of State govern
ments. and the time cannot be predicted
when such efforts will cease.
1T may be safely asserted that the re-
straining power of the Fourteenth
Amendment as against the States will be
exercised far more conservatively by
that court, of which every citizen Is
justly proud, than II would be were the
exercise of 1t confined to the other de-
paTtments Of the National Government.
Il feel warranted IN saying that, val
liable as has been the service Of the Su-
preme Court OF the United States to the
people. it never has been charged with a
greater responsibility than that placed
upon it by the adoption of the Four
teeDth Amendment--a responsibility to
the meeting of which its individual
members have practically devoted their
supreme energies. great abilities, and
broad scholarship. keeping ever In mind
as appears from the many opinions
written-the danger expressed by Mr..
Justice Miller of so far extending the
Fourteenth Amendment as to fetter and
degrade the State governments

CANCER CURED
BY RADIUM RAYS

VIENNA. July Medical circles here
are greatly interested in a report read
at a recent meeting OF the Imperial
Academy of Science to the effect that a
long standing case of cancer was cured
by radium rays at the clinic of the late
Prof. Gussenbauer. The patient. who
was sixty-One years of age, had long
suffered from cancer of the palate and
lip. and had repeatedly been operated
upon fruitlessly, until the autumn Of
1902. when the physicians of the Wien
nese Hospital declared it was absolutely
useless to operate again.

KNELL SOUNDED
FOR APPLE MOTH
University of California Men Score
Triumph Against the Insect.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 4.-The ento-
biologists of the College of Agriculture
CT the University OF California have
triumphed over the Goblin moth. that
pest of an insect that destroyed $50. 900
worth of California apples last year and
countless dollars worth in the years
before. The fruit in the orchards has
progressed far enough IN its growth for
Prof. c. w. Woodwork and Warren T.
Clark. who fought the moth at Watson
Vile, to know that it has been practt-
oaIly obliterated
The Goblin moth destroyed from one
to five bushels OF apples on every tree
at jacksonville last year This year there
will not be that much loss in thirty
acres of trees.
The apples are now about half grown
anc there is no sign of a worm within
these that have been examined. This
is proof that the first brood of the in
sects was destroyed by the timely ef-
forts of the entomologists. The only
thing to be on guard against now is q
- cond brood, which, If unchecked. may
bore its way into the apples as its rela-
t:ves used to do.
The entomologists have taught the
farmers one valuable lesson-that the
trees should not be sprayed In the win
ter time. as then the spray Is valueless.
The proper time 20 spray is when the
calyX lobes OF the young fruit are
spread and open. for 1t is then that the
tiny worm begins burrowing into the
apple and the fruit Is In this condition
OILY late in the spring. A solution OF
Paris green is found to be the most eff
fective agency for killing the moth.
