Changing $40 Bills For Strang'
 CTS is Dangerous Business.

A couple of rather clever finn Hammers have been operating in this city and Waterville the past few days, and from all accounts they got away with q number of dollars hard earned dollars, which should be snugly tucked away in the pockets of the men who earned them. It is said a we'll known man of Water vile was "done" for a $10 note by some kind of bunco changing money game which the smooth ones worked. The men, so it seems, had a few $20 bills and by getting them changed so played their points that before the fuss was over they gen. orally were richer by $5 or $10. The clerk in the Waterville hotel was also approached, but there was noth- ing to it, as he could not change any of their yellowbacks. It is said that several other places in Waterville were tried by the sharpers who for a package of cigarettes would throw out $20 bill. Wednesday evening they confined their efforts to East Main street, but it is said they were unable to do" any of the store- keepers.

TWO SORTS OF CONSUMPTION.
Only One Kind Durable. British Roya!
 Commission Reports.

London, Oct 26-The second ad in- terim report of the royal commission on tuberculosis suggests that there are two forms of the disea SC, one of which is rapidly fatal, and the other tending to undergo spontaneous cure.
 The report contains an account of elaborate inoculation experiments car ried out by Dr Cobbett on variety of animals with human tubercle bacilli. The results were remarkable and constant. One group of bacilli cause a rapidly fatal general tuber- culosis. The other. when given in far larger doses,ha only a slight To- cal effect, tending to cure itself
 The report does not assume that any new discovery has been made. but the results tabulated suggest that further experiments may establish that there are two types of the disease, the hope less and the hopeful.

 Early in 1908 there will be a gen. eral measuring up of interests in the internal revenue district of Connecti- cut, which comprises this state and Rhode Island. says the Hartford Post. The chief office of the district is located in Waterbury. Besides the collector there are thirty stamp. di- vision and office deputies. deputy col ieetors and gaugers in the district.

INJUNCTION AGAINST THAT

Asheville, y. C., May PA bill in
equity has been filed in the United
States Circuit Court by Nelson
Buckley, George J. Pearson and other
stockholders of the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad Company against the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Com
pany, its directors, managers, agents
and also against the corporation com
mission of North Carolina.
The bill prays for an injunction
against the railroad commissioners OF
North Carolina restraining them from
publishing and enforcing the recent
rates provided by the act of the leg
i3lature of North Carolina. 1t alleges
that the rate bin on account of the
extreme penalties provided therein
which would aggregate over a million
dollars q day, or $56S, 100000 per
year in case the rate law was finally
Sustained by the highest court. The
bill alleges that committee of stock
holders applied to the corporation
itself TO protect its interests, and it
has declined to do so
The point is also made that the
rate bill was not read three times
and not signed by the speaker of the
house. a rubber stamp being substl-
tuied in lieu thereof. The further
interesting point is raised that the
power conferred upon the corporation
commission Of North Carolina to fix
Just and seasonable rates is a judicial
function. and while the commission
exists with such powers, the lesisla-
tme canno3 interfere and undertake
to exercise what, under the policy OF
North Carolina, is a judicial function.

last Friday he stated in casual way
that his company was preparing to-
purchase some more rolling stock
equipment He did not intimate, how
ever, that the order would be the
largest ever placed by Southern

thus tells the story;
d Vice President and General Man
Eager George Dole Wadley, of the At
lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic Rail
road Monday gave one o. the largest
contracts for rolling stock ever given
by southern railroad A total OF
l,730 box, coal ana caboose cars was
ordered for delivery not later than
December. BY that time the road ex-
poets to have sufficiently completed
its $50 miles of tracks to handle some
of the freight along the line.
There we're in all eight representa-
tives Of car manufacturers and supply
manufacturers in the Electric ana
Gas Building all day Friday. Bids
were submitted by each, and the fol
lowing contracts were awarded:

ufacturing Company, Of Waycross,

a contract for 500 coal cars ana
thirty cabooses. The coal cars must
be forty feet in length, with a ca
pacity Of 10000 pounds; the cabooses
must be eight wheelers. and OF stand
ard length
1t is stipulated in the contract that
the rolling stock must be OF the
most superior order, as the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic has already
created a reputation for excellence IN
rolling stock, both passenger and
freight Work on the road is advanc-
ing rapidly, and even with the In
completed condition demands are
being made on the line by shippers
who are crowding the terminals ana
stations with freight. The company
will be in position to handle as much
business as any road IN Georgia
when the contract for new cars has
been filled.
Both President n. M. atkinson and
Vice President p S. Arkwrignt are
much gratifed at the progress being
made and are enthusiastic over the
