MAKE GENERAL APPLICATION
CONTINUOUS MILEAGE REGULA-
TIONS UPON RAILROADS.
Clark Howell Declares That Ii Ought
TO BE Done. The Central ana
the Southern Railways.


(From the Atlanta Constitution
The action of the railroad commits
sion in applying rule one to the Cen
trail railroad and it's connections, the
Wadley Southern and the Stillmore
Air Line railroads treating them all
as integral parts of one corporation
will be generally approved
This rule covers what is known as
the continuous mileage regulation,
under which all branch lines OF the
same system are prohibited from
making any difference in the rates
that apply to the main line.
The Central held that these two
branch lines are operated as differ
ent organizations, and that to that
extent they were independent,
though it was admitted that the Cen
trail owned both of the lines.
Under the ruling of the railroad
commission the freight rates apply
ing to these branches will be the
same as though they were operated
as a part of the Central system
and very properly so.
1t will mean a material saving to
the patrons of both lines
Now that the railroad commission
has established this principle II
should go one step further, for the
same principle, if more generally APP
piled, would bring relief to thou
sands of shippers in Georgia, where
but few will be benefited in the case
of these two branch lines.
Everybody in Georgia knows that
the Southern railroad owns the Cen
trail of Georgia railroad.
Everybody in Georgia knows that
the Southern railroad owns the
Georgia Southern and Florida rail-
road
And the Macon and Birmingham
railroad.
What the railroad commission
ought to do, and what it would be
fully justified in doing, would be to
apply the continuous mileage ruling
to every one of these systems.
The Southern railroad owns the
central JUST d. etDoCluICl' e''' 49,
Central owns the Wadley Southern
and the Stillmore Air Line. The
control of the destiny OF the Central
railroad system is just as much in
the hands of the Southern railroad
as is the control of these two little
branch lines in the hands Of the
Central.
If, therefore, the application of
this rule to these two little branch
roads is right and prOper-and the
whole state will concede that it is
then why not apply the same princi-
pie to the larger systems?
If it's right to apply the cOntinu-
Gus mileage rule to a small branch
line owned by a big system, and yet
operated independently, why is it not
right to make broad application OF
the same rule, so as to fit all lines
of road, with common ownership,
whether or not operated independ-
emily?
Here is a chance for genuine re-
lief that would in all probability
reach three-fourths of the shippers
of Georgia.
The ralroad commission has firm
" planted itself upon principle on
which it can stand, and which, If
issue is made, will stand the test OF
the courts.
What say the shippers of Geor-
gia and what says the railroad COM
mission?

Consists of.

German scientists announce that
the material for a man weighing $50
pounds can be found in the white
and yolk of 1900 hen eggs. Re-
duced to a fluid the average man
would yield ninety-eight cubic me-
tiers of Illuminating gas and hydro
gen to fill a balloon capable of lift
ing 1856 pounds. The normal human
body has in it the iron needed to
make seven large nails, the fat for
fourteen pounds of candles, the car
bon for sixty-fOur gross of crayons
and phosphorus enough for $4,000
matches. Out of it can be obtained
besides twenty coffee spoons of salt,
fifty Jumps of sugar and forty-two

There are three ways used by far
mers for curing and preparing their
tobacco for the market; namely, sun
cured, air cured and fue cured. The
old and cheap way is called air cured;
the later discovery and improved way
is called fue cured. In fue-curing
the tobacco is taken from the field
and suspended over intensely hot
fues in houses especially built to re-
tain the heat, and there kept in the
proper temperature until this curing
process DEVELOPS in the tobacco the
stimulating taste and fragrant aroma
found in Schnapps tobacco, just as
green coffee is made fragrant and
stimulating by the roasting process.
Only choice selections of this ripe,
juicy fue cured leaf, grown in the
famous Piedmont country, where the
best tobacco grows, are used in
Schnapps and other Reynolds brands
of high grade, fue cured tobaccos.

FLUE CURING IMPROVES T0BACCOLlKE
ROASTING IMPROVES GREEN COFFEE
FVue Curing Develops the Stimulating Aroma anu Taste
Found In ScF1napps that Satisfies Tobacco Hunger

Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps; the
outside of the imitation plugs of to-
bacco is fue cured, but the inside is
filled with cheap, fimsy, heavily
sweetened air cured tobacco; one
chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco
hunger longer than two chews of
such tobacco.
Expert tests prove that this Aue
cured tobacco, grown in the famous
Piedmont region, requires and takes
less sweetening than any other kind,
and has a wholesome, stimulating,
satisfying effect on chewers. If the
kind of tobacco yOW are chewing don't
satisfy, more than the mere habit of
expectorating, stop fooling yourself
and chew Schnapps tobacco.
Schnapps is like the tobacco chew
ers formerly bought costing from 75c.
to Shopper pound; Schnapps is sold
at soc. per pound in SC. cuts, strictly
10 and IS cent plugs.

THE MAsAI or AFRICA.


The young men OF that Africnn race.
the Nasal. are all warriors. theoretical.
ly. between the ages approximately OF
seventeen aud tweniy-seven. When In
this stage they are known IN their own
language as ii moran. They pull the
head hair out 20 lts greatest length.
even sometimes twisting and plating
tlber and string Into their wool The
hair Il then thickly coated with mutton
fat and red clay and tied Into perukes.
All hair on the face and body Is pluck
ed out by iron tweezers. The skin u
kept constantly fabricated with nut.
ton fat mixed with red clay. but as
rule the body Is not dIsagreeably oily.
and this fabrication only has the result
OF giving n beautiful polish TO their
ytatuellse forms.
As regards the body there Is proba-
bly, no more beautifully formed type Of
man than the young Nasal warrior.
The face Is sometimes In keeping with
the body. but more often has n rather
brutal aspect. The Nasal are not pure
negroes. but obviously received very
long while ago a slight infusion Of
Hamltic blood from races dwelling to
the east Of the White Nile. While they
are in the young -man-warrior stage the
Nasal live principally on milk and on
blood drawn from the veins Of living
cattle. They also occasionally eat the
meat OF oxen. goats or sheep.
When a Nasal decides that he has
had enough knocking about and has
accumulated sufficient property on
which TO retire he decides 10 marry.
This Is usually about the age Of TWEEN
ty-sevcn 90 thirty. After marriage he
shaves his head. or at any rate keeps
the hair Of his head very close cropped.
He ceases 90 anoInt himself with nut.
ton fat and definitely ranges himself
with the old men.

WILSON & EDGE MILLINERY OPENING.

The spring millinery opening Of
Wilson * Edge was the center OF
attraction for the ladies of Bryan
and vicinity yesterday and was the
most successful from an artistic as
well as business standpoint this
enterprising firm has had yet, not.
withstanding their phenomenal
record heretofore. The decora-
tons were notably beautiful in
Guiding Easter lilies, ferns. palms,
cut flowers. woodbine and white
spiral.
The display Of fashionable mil
linery was the subject of much
praise from the callers who
thronged the department all day
long. Miss Braatz and four as
sistants were kept exceedingly
busy attending to the wants of
patrons, and it has been found
necessary to continue the opening
today.
The fashions Of the French EN-
pire under Napoleon and Josephine
a hundred years ago are repro
dpced in this seasons most ac-
cepted creations. The exquisite
styles and bright and beautiful
coloring are faithfully copied. II is

Effect is no less pleasing to the

throughout the fall and winter. The
channel is in fairly good condition, and
it is not thought there will be sufficient
Ice to interfere with the operation OF
the steamers, except at irregular in
tervals of day or two at time. The
passenger traffic amounts to little or
nothing.
Before another season it is under
stood that the Open River Co. and
others interested in an open river will
do all IN their power to have the
portage road extended to The Dalles.
With that done there IS reason to be-
lieve that regular line of boats will
be kept plying throughout the year on
the upper stretches of the Columbia.
The company Is building new boat
at Portland, to run between here and
the portage road. She is expected to
be really for service early in January.
But with no boats running on the Up
per Columbia this winter it is probable
that she will remain idle until spring.
The company is also planning to have
several new craft on the upper river
by that time. and to be largely in a
position to take care Of all Of the
assistance.
