him if he had anything TO give out.
He said: Nav, / never gave out but

Olds. When | used to go down TO
Raleigh so often, every time he saw
me he asked me to give him a great
big scare head article. The last time
he asked me if / had anything. | told
him yes. He drew out his pencil and
l began to talk. 1 told him that l had
come TO Raleigh to sue the United
States Government. He wrote that
down and / continued. The merits of
the case were these: Wilkes county
had been injured by the carelessness
of the governmental officials and /
proposed to bring suit in the sum of
one million dollars. That made Fred
open his eyes and he asked me how |
could sue the United States. l told
him that the Supreme court had held
that the employer may be held liable
for the negligence of the employe, and
that recently the revenue officers had
captured 1000 barrels of liquor in my
county. AS soon as they had corralled
it, they knocked the head out of the
barrels and emptied upon the ground.
There was a great rush to save the
stuff, many of the mountaineers actu-
ally tapping it up as ii washed down
the road. OF course they had to mix a
lot of dirt with it, and the United
States government had been the cause
of the foreign impression that Wilkes

HOW RAILROADS GAIN HATE.
The Story Here Told Might Make a
Blue Monky Cuss.
Henderson Gold Leaf.

A great deal is said about the feel
ing against railroads and the GER
tainty almost of the average jury To
decide against them in suit for dam
ages. This is true and it is to be re-
GREETED. But the railroads themselves
are largely to blame. Their grasping
greed ana reckless disregard of indi-
,vidual interests. maniresting itself in
unequal and extortionate charges and
tyrannical if not brutal methods are
responsible for the prejudice existing
against them.
BY way of illustration the follow
ing case is cited A car was loaded
with wood at a point on the Southern
Railway. 1t remained there several
days-a week, we are told-after 1t
was loaded. The railroad suited its
convenience about moving it and then
not until complaint was made, giving
as an excuse that their trains were
loaded and they could not handle t
sooner. The car was finally hauled in
here in the midst of the deep snow
last week. Arrangements had been
made to handle the wood the week
before-when it should have been de-
livered and While the weather was
good-but the consignee had to wait
the good time and pleasure of the
railroad. and when it did come it was
impossible to ret it out as expeditions
ly as would have been done under
more favorable conditions. Before the
time limit for holding the car expired
consignee started to throw the wood
out at his own risk and release the car.
but this was objected to and stopped
by the railroad. Then a charge for
demurrage was made. This looked
like an unreasonable demand under
the circumstances lin view of the fact
above stated and payment was re-
fused. The car was then sealed and
further delivery of the wood withheld.
The railroad had the victim in their
power and the knew it, There was
but one thing to do. pay the demur-
rage charges or submit to the con-
fiscation of property of greater value.
He preferred to be held up for the les
ser amount.
We understand full we'll that the
railroads must have rules and regula-
tons for the conduct of their business,
but it is bad rule that will not work
but one way But railroad rules are
only made to work their way and with
them it is 1.-The public be damned" as

rhe average consumer of baking
powder does not know that a reaction
occurs in the process of baking.
Whenever a chemical reaction takes
place, the nature of the original ma
terial3 is entirely changed, so that the
substances which remain in the food
to be eaten are very different from
those which composed the baking
powder before baking. For this rea-
son. the statement that a baking pow
der contains alum or cream of tartar
is worthless so far as informing the
customer as 10 what he eats.
What the customer wants to know
is what goes into his stom-
ach. not what IS in the can. Food
prepared with cream of tartar baking
powder does not contain any cream of
tartar, just as food prepared with
alum baking powder is free from alum.
In the case of the high priced trust
baking powders, this bread residue
consists OF Rochelle salts, the active
ingredient of Seidlitz powders. That
is. when food prepared with these
trust baking powders is eaten, the
consumer is taking a dose of Seidlitz
powders. Rochelle salts is a medicine
and not a food, and this constant dos
ing will seriously derange the diges-
tive organs. Prof Wiley, chemist of
the United States department of agri-
cultuTe has declared in substance
that a loaf of bread made from
quart of -four lcavencd with cream OF
tartar baking powder contains 10
grains more Of Rochelle salts than is
contained in one Scidlitz powder" AT
