a combination IS formed which not only
destroys the germs which rob the hair Of
healthy condition of the scalp, which pre-
vents the development of new germs.

THERAILROAD get. RATES

The controversy between the
railroads on the one side and the
States of Virginia and North Car
olina on the other, with reference
TO the rwo-cent rate law, is being
watched with interest by the resi-
dents of these two States. just
why this rate law can become
effective in other States and can
not be enforced in Virginia or
North Caroliua, is a question that
is hard to understand.
Yesterdays news dispatches
stated that the penalty clause OF
the new State late bill in North
Carolina was declared unconsti-
tutional and void by United States
Judge Pritchard, and that two
ticket agents of the Southern rail-
way in that State, who were recently
sentenced to thirty days on the
chain gsng for violation of the
law, were discharged on habeas
corpus proceedings.
In Richmond Monday Governor
Swanson, Attorney General An
derson and members of the Cor
poration Commission, held a con-
ference to outline some definite
plan of action for the enforcement
of the two-cent rate law in this
State. Nothing was given out for
publication at the close of the con-
ference, but it was definitely learn
ed that decision was reached as
to the proper course for the State
to pursue in the premises.

Judge William H. Mann, candi-

Senate of Virginia and prospective
candidate for Governor of Vir-
ginia, has rendered his resignation
as counsel for the Norfolk and

for no man can represent the inter
ests of / is constituents in State
Legislature, when he is the paid
servant of railroad corporation.
When questions arise as to certein
rights of these corporations, The

fueDced, either directly or indi-
rectly, by his obligations to the
corporation that employs him.
Therefore, for a man to be of the
highest use in the Legislature to
his constituents, he should not be
bound to any corporation by any
ties or considerations whatever.

Then follow charges that one of

tionally marked q ballot for one
voter "wet" when the voter re-
quested him to mark it "dry" and
the ballot was counted "wet;"
that the sGne judge contrary to
the law, did frequently tender his

ballots without being asked; and
that the same judge, when not
marking ballots, did frequently go
out and engage in secret and whis-
pered conferences with men engag-
ed in the saloon business, their in
innate friends and attorneys.
Among the ether violations
charged are the voting of men
illegally; men voting whose poll
taxes had been paid for them

BRYAN ON STATES RIGHTS

William Jennings Bryan made
a statement in Lincoln, Nebraska,
last Saturday, In which he out
lined what the Democratic party
should incorporate in its next
presidential platform, according to
his views. He disclaims any in
teLtion to strive for government
ownership at the present time, and
takes a decided stand for States
rights. The control of the rail-
roads he declares to be the most
potent issue before the people OF
the United States, and that Presi
dent Roosevelt, though sincere in
his endeavors to make the railways
play fair with the public, Is pow
erless to do go.
Speaking of the INTERPOLATION
bill, Mr.. Bryan said that It's only
effect had been to give to the rail-
roads immense pecuniary reward
by prohibiting the issuance of
free passes and the granting of re-
bates on freight shipments. The
people, he said, have not been
benefited at all, and the exorbi-
taut railway rates are the same as
before the "regulation' bill was
Dessed.
