SOUTHERN ACTS GENEROUSLY.

UNDER the new rate law the rail-
roads may charge for carrying chill
dren, even infants in the arms. In
view of this fact it was supposed by
some persons that the Southern
Railway would take advantage OF
the situation and claim everything
the law allows. But in this they
were mistaken. With all it's faults
the Southern Railway is not the soul
less corporation it has been painted,
or else it had the good sense to exer-
else tact and Judgment in counting
the good will rather than giving Of
tense by such a course. In putting
the new rate into effect the Southern
announces that it will continue to
haul babies free of charge and that
children under II years OF age and
over ) will be taken at half fare as
heretofore. As the ThOmasvile
Charity and Children says this act
which was altogether voluntary on
the part of the Southern Railway,
shows that the Southern is not the
monster that it is reputed to be some

be that much or more in 1907. That's
over $500 for every man, woman and

pie who need it for other things and the
liquor really does them harm. Every
body says the sale of it ought to be
broken up. But some say: Let's pave

BLIND TIGER CASES IN DUR
HAM.

Beautiful is the working ofprohibi-
ton in Durham. Ninety-nine blind
tiger cases are on the docket fortrial
next week-too much for one week
term of court when taken in connec-
ton with other matters that must
come on for a hearing. The follow
ing special to the News and Obser yer
OF yesterday carries its own COM
ment:
Durham, n. G. August 2O.-Some
idea of the number OF blind tigers
that exist in this prohibition town
AM also some idea Of the activity OF
the police and other officers can be
seen by n glance at the Superior
court docket for next week, when
Judge Council and Solicitor Brooks
will have their inning with the evil
doing element OF the city and county.
There are now on docket and pre-
sumably ready for trial just ninety
nine whiskey selling cases. 1t is
reasonable to suppose that before the
beginning of the court few Others
will be arrested on this charge.

An Excellent Suggestion.
Norfolk Eirginian-PilOt


That is an excellent suggestion of
Commissioner General Pogue, of
North Carolina, to the effect that the
Exposition management donate Il
handsome trophy to be awarded to
the State making the best showing
at the Exposition in the matter of
attendance, and that all the States,
including those that have already
celebrated special days, be invited to
compete.
1t is no depreciation OF the magnif-
icent success attending North Caro-
lima Week, a success altogether
worthy of that great commonwealth
and of the Importance of the event
which the Exposition is designed to
commemorate, 20 say that States
holding their celebrations earlier in
the season did so under circumstances
so unfavorable as to place them at a
decided Disadvantage in the matter
OF Attendance. This is especially true
OF Virginia, whose special day came
early in June, at time when the Ex-
position was in an incomplete state
and was being subjected to all kinds
OF captiOus and carping criticisms,
and when it was inconvenient for IL
large bulk OF the people of the State
to attend. a large proportion of the
population OF Virginia belong to the
farming class and their busiest sea-
son is the early summer. However
deep their interest in the success of
the Exposition and however much
they may have wished to participate
in the celebration of Virginia Day and
Week, it was practically out of the
question for many of them to do so.
They were compelled to remain at
home and look after their crops.
Now, however, the crops have for the
most part been harvested, and the
farmers are comparatively at leisure.
II Virginia is given another day, it
is a safe prediction that the attend
ance will double if not treble that
OF the former occasion.
But If Virginia is given another day
commissioner Pogue declares that
North Carolina will want another
also, and therefore makes the sug-
gestion noted above. North Caro-
lina," says he will be glad to enter
this contest, and she will want an
other State Day to show what she
can do again, if Virginia is given
another. Let all the other States
come Uneven those that have held
their State Days; give them a chance
to try it over again" Professor
Summons, who has charge of the
Maryland exhibit, says that his
State will also be a competitor for
the trophy, should it be offered, and
expresses the belief that "she will give
the winner Il hustle for it." By all
means let the suggestion be adopted.
1t will encourage friendly rivalry
among the States and help the Ex-
position to no mean extent. We are
confident the trophy, should it be Of
tered, would not go outside of Virgin
Ia. But should North Carolina or
Maryland succeed in winning it, Nir-
glnla would accept defeat gracefully.
10 be beaten by one or the other OF
such worthy competitors as these
TWO great commemorative have al
ways proved themselves would entail
no disgrace and little cause for cha
grin.
Put up the trophy and let the con-
test begin.

Raleigh Firemen Lower World
Record.

Wilmington, n. c., Aug. 9.-The
most exciting event yesterday was
the hook and ladder contest in which
the Walter r. Womble Hook and
Ladder Company, OF Raleigh, broke
the worlds record established by the
same company at Asheville last
year, winning over its competitors.
Asheville No. l, by five seconds and
lowering the worlds record by two
htths OF a second. The race took
place at . O'Clock yesterday and the
work OF the Raleigh team was the
hnest ever witnessed on any track.
In ~ seconds the company ran 300
yards, took off 30 foot ladder and
sent a man to the top OF it, replacing
the ladder on the truck in exactly
~ seconds. The worlds record OF
the Womble Company at Asheville
last year was AZ % seconds. The
ladder man from the Raleigh team
was nearly to the top rung by the
time his comrades had it up and he
had scarcely started to the ground
again before they were restoring the
apparatus to the truck.

The Limit of Life

The most eminent medical scientists are
unanimous in the conclusion hat the general
ly accepted limitation OF human life is many
years below the attainment possible with
the advanced knowledge OF which the race is
now possessed. The critical period, that de-
termines its duration, seems to be between
90 and 60; the proper care OF the body dur
ing this decade cannot be too strongly
urged; eareiessness then being fatal to longev-
lty. Natures best helper after so is Electric
bltters, the scientific tonic medicine that

MATCH FACTORY FOR GREENS
BORO.

A match factory is to be added to
Greensboro's industrial enterprises.
A charter has been granted to Win
ston-Salem capitalists who will at
once begin the erection OF a plant
with a capital OF 500. 600, and it is
expected that they will be ready for
business in January or February.
About one hundred people will be
employed in the making OF matches.
This should be a paying investment.
Matches are cheap, but the profits
on them are great on account OF
the ingenious machinery and the
cheap labor which may be utilized
for their manufacture.

she gave that banquet to Moses ii.

too much to evidence her apprecla-

for US. They have led in the pro

this one OF the most important
towns in the State. Their mann

portion of Greensboro's wealth, and
the whole State has felt the benefit
of their undertakings. 1t is not nee
