 Rev. Jones is a polite, smooth-talk- ing negro preacher who breaches occa- sionally-about once every two weeks in a church near the city. He was born and reared here and the white folks" who know him have confidence in him. He is related to some Of the better element of his race in Mont gomery and It was no jest with him that he should go down to Greenville and clear himself of such charge as false pretenses.

PASTY FOOD.
TOO Commonly Used.

The use of pasty cereals is not ad- visable. A physician says: Tasty ce- reals are very indlgestible and a bad thing for the stomach, causing a de- pressed feeling and quite a train of disorders. particularly of the intestines and nerves.
 Cereals, such as wheat and oats, can be cooked long enough and we'll enough to fit them for human use but the or dinary way of cooking leaves them in a pasty condition.
 An Indiana man says: My physi- elan prohibited the use Of oats and wheat for I was in bad condition physically, with pronounced dyspepsia. He said the heavy paste was indigesti- bIe but that Grape-Nuts. being thoroughly cooked food and cooked in such a manner as to change the starch into a form of sugar, is very easily di- gested.

serious Results Prevented by Goodness
 of Fred Owens.
 A runaway yesterday afternoon about 6:15 o'clock on Washington Avenue might have proven serious but for the coolness and pluck of Fred Owens,
 MT. Owens and Mrs. c. c. Reading were driving down Washington Avenue to the city and had just crossed the car tracks on Hull Street when the horse became frightened at a little stream of water flowing across the pavement. Jumping suddenly, he broke the harness. which allowed the buggy to fall on him. adding to his fright.
 The horse then started kicking the buggy and finally overturned 1t on the curblng. Mrs. Reading was thrown out, but was not hurt. MT. Owens stuck to the reins and was dragged some distance on the pavement before the horse could be stopped. Except for a few scratches, he escaped unhurt.
 The horse was not hurt. but the bug gy was badly smashed by the kicking and by the crash on the curbing.

BENTON WILL QUIT SERVICE Tenders Resignation to Government. $ IN VERY ILL HEALTH successor Will Be Named by the
 South.
  He is special Agent of Bureau of Man. ufsctures and Is Considered Expert on CottOnseed
 Products.
 

Washington Aug. 16.--(Special.) )--- Special Agent Benton of the Bureau of Manufactures, owing to i'll health, has rendered his resignation to the Secre- tary of Commerce. and Labor. Mir. Benton is citizen of Georgia and was appointed on the recommendation of a number of the associations in the South interested in cotton seed pro- duets. He was considered an expert, and was generally recognized as a man splendidly equipped for the work he was expected to do in the European countries which he visited.
 Not long since there was published In The Advertiser, an interesting arti- ,le made up chiefly from the reports sent to the bureau here by MT. Ben ton, and which showed how profitable the business Is becoming for American manufacturers in several of the coun- tries of Europe-the Netherlands in particular. This report was backedup also by others from the United States consuis. The consuls continue to send them in.
 Under the regulations of Congress the Bureau of Manufactures of which Major John M. Carson Is chief, is not allowed to have printed more than 2.000 copies of the recent reports. There is such a demand for this information that it Is expected that at the coming session a resolution will be offered by. one of the Southern members to have 25,o0o copies of the exhaustive report printed. The additional reports will be included. The stereotyped plates for the original publication have been stored away at the government print ing office, and the cost will therefore be reduced to minimum.
 A successor to Mir. Benton will not be appointed until the associations in the South agree upon man. They will have full control of this matter, and the department officials will rec ognize only the man they recommend. It is presumed they will select their man in a few weeks. The place is a most desirable one
 Tn round numbers the sum of $100.- 100000 is now invested in this industry in the United States, being mostly In the Southern States. Thirty years ago cotton seed and the bi-productS were practically thrown away. It was a lot of rubbish then, the planters hardly knew how to get rid of The Bureau of Manufactures has issued brief statement regarding Increased exports as follows
 ''There was a marked increase in the value of cotton seed products exported during the year ended June 30, 1907,

 Rumors to the effect that Passen- ger Traffic Manager s. H. Hardwick of the Southern Railway, with headquar- ters in Washington, is to leave the ser- vice of the company have been pub lished and denied in the newspapers for some time past
 denies the report that he Is to resign. It says;
 That Samuel H. Hardwick, Pas senger Traffic Manager of the South ern Railway, has resigned, is denied by the officials of the company.
 The rumor became current in New York on Monday and in Washington yesterday and it was stated a number of times that his resignation had been rendered to the company,
 If so. it has again been withdrawn. for officials of the company state here that the publication in New York of his withdrawal from the road has no foundation, and all of them profess to be at loss to understand how such a story could have originated Mir. Hardwick is not in Washington, hay ing been gone since last Thursday. and although he has been in communication with the general offices here, it could not be learned when he will return.
 The New York Commercial yester- day morning printed the following de- nfal of his resignation:
 J. M. Culp, President of the Southern, said yesterday that there was no truth whatever in the widely circulated report that Samuel H Hard wick, Passenger Traffic Manager of the Southern, had resigned and his success sor selected.
 MT. Culp. in common with others. keenly regrets the injustice done to Mr. Hardwick in the announcement and is unable to understand why 1t was started against valued oficial and one who has always been so strong with the company
 The Information came to The Com merctal from source believed to be entirely reliable, and has usually been found so. Mir. Hardwiek's friends will be glad to know that he is not to re- tire
 '%rhis is the second time, according to the Washington offlcials>of the conn pany, that rumors concerning the re- signation of Mir. Hardwick have been afloat. and they join Mir. Culp in say ing they believe 1t an injustice to the Passenger Trahic Manager to permit such stories to go undenied."
 Mr. Hardwick is a citizen of Mont gomery and much interest has been taken fin the report that he would se- sign and sever his connection with the Southern. He is credited one of the best railroad men in the South. and his many friends will be glad to know that he Is to continue in the service of the Southern.
