TRANSPORTATION
PROBLEM SOLVED
Or, More Properly Speaking,
How It May Be Solved by
Farmers.
WHERE THE HEAVY COST LIES
Freight and Passenger Rates
Should Be Reduced OH the
Country Roads.

"The transportation problem for the
Southern farmer" says the Progressive
Farmer, us not solved by the opening Of
new lines Of railway in. his territory 1t
will not be solved by deepening rivers
and harbors, nor by inland Waterways,
nor by the Panama Canal. Nor Will it
be solved by the establishments Of lower
freight and passenger rates on our great
railway lines. Helpful as all these things
are or will be to the Southern farmer,
they serve only to accentuate his real
problem by laying an lncalculable in
crease Of traffic upon his own already
cruelty burdened lines OF transportation,
namely. the country roads.
These are the farmers own lines. and
1t is upon these also that lie needs q re-
duction of freight and passenger rates.
If the amount Of freight hauled every
year by steamship and railway We're COM
puted and stated in pounds the total
would staEgcr our powers Of belief. Yet
Of this vast tonnage it Is estimated that
80 per cent must be carried by wagons.
Farmers OF North Carolina and Vir-
| ginla, don't pay it, Demand alreduction
| of freight and passenger rates on your
own transportation lines. Grade, drag,
ZIG llluu lax
and reduce your freight rates from 81
cents to z cents n mile,
4 II Is q business proposition. Can you
1 think of one that Is more important ia
i you? An improved system of country
roads means millions saved annually to
Southern agriculture.

Tho Progressive Farmer. OF Raleigh,

NEW YORK, May 1s.-R.. G. Dun &

Improvement in retail trade followed
the advent of seasonable weather at

the crops. but frequent reactions en-
phasized the speculative nature Of the
rise IN quotations and tended to re-
store confidence. Wholesale trade in
fall goods Is brisk from all points ex-
cept where the crops have been seri-
ously injured, and the net result of
this forward business makes the OUT
look for the future fairly satisfactory.
Manufacturing plants are kept busy,

salt being about fifteen feet below the
surface of the ground and the sulphur
from ten to eleven feet below. Near

from which salt has been gathered
for fifteen years in dry weather by
primitive methods, yielding at times
10000 pounds a day. Plans are maxi

may extend to many wells strong with

MRS. YOUNG RESIsTS
DIVORCE SUIT ACTION
Woman in Scandal With
Senator Greenwell Files
Petition

BAKERSFIELD, Feb. 2O.-The sec
ond chapter in the scandal in which
State Senator Charles L. Greenweu of
Santa Barbara found himself involved
q week ago Sunday night, when Clar-
ence Young, a special agent for the
Pacific States Telephone and Telegraph
Company, found the statesman's wear
ing apparel in Mrs. Youngs apart
ments, was enacted in the Superior
Court today. Mrs. Young, defendant
in a divorce suit resulting from the
episode, filed a petition praying that
z certain part of the complaint be
stricken out and that she be awarded
$50 month alimony, 800 for counsel
fees in the prosecution of a proposed
cross complaint and SIS for the OBJ
tanning Of dispositions as TO her char
acter from France.
The portion of the complaint which
the wife wishes to have erased has to
DO with the only child of the Youngs.
The plaintiff asserts that the defend
ant is not a At person to care for the
child and that she took it to Europe
and threatened to remain there with
out the plaintiffs consent. Mrs. Young
alleges that she is dependent upon
her brother Jay Ransch, the jockey.

face District Attorney Jerome. She
was again clad in her childish blue
frock. blue windsor tie; broad, white
collar. and deep blue, velvet hat Her
face was pale, but her manner was self
contained-barring a certain air OF ap-
prehensiveness. Jerome resumed his
cross examination, and during his mer-
ciless attack on the credibilfty or the
witness he brought out several points
which the prosecution considered high
" important The young woman trem-
bled at times under the fire of questions
directed at her and became badly tan
gled UP.
Jerome. who is trying TO show that
the story she told Thaw Of her oelng
ruined by Stanford White was untfu ue'
wrung from the witness the adlnls-
sion that she had known james a.
Garland. a well-known yachtsman, ana
that her acquaintance with him ceased
when she met the architect
The District Attorney asked her If
she had not been named as correspond
ent in the suit for divorce brought
against Garland, and before Delmas
could object had replied that she
knew nothing about ii. Then Jerome
withdrew his question, as Justice fltz-
gerald suggested that the record OF the
suit. which was tried in Salem, Mass,
possibly. will be produced. The former
artists model testified. however, that
she had frequently visited Garland s
Yacht sometimes remaining on board
from Saturday to Monday, but she de-
clared that her mother was always
with her.
The question concerning Garland was
prompted by an affidavit made by Mrs
Holman, the young woman's mother
which the District Attorney held in his
hand and frequently referred to, but did
not offer in evidence. Jerome also
brought out from the witness the fact
that she had received from White dur
ing 1902 SIS every week she was not
playing on the stage. This was the
year after the architect as she de-
clared, ruined her.
She declared time after time that
she didn't remember" when Jerome
asked her il she knew of an agreement
by which she was TO draw the money
from the Mercantile Trust Company,
but seemed nonplused when letters
written TO the company by her asking
for the money were handed to her by
the District Attorney.
She declared that White must have
dictated the letters. The name of one
very prominent and influential man in
whose studio she posed for a photo
graph was kept secret II was on the
day before her experience with White.
and when Jerome asked her whose
studio il was then that she became very
nervous and pleaded that she be per
mitted to keep the owners name Sc
cret II was in Twenty street.
She finally whispered the name TO
Jerome.
Delmas sat near the witness as If to
give her encouragement. She was on
the stand for six hours. Jerome will
continue his ss-exannination tomor-
row.
