How the Railroads Keep Tab on Un-
even Traekage.
Curiosity is often displayed by trav-
elers over the method employed In
making mile after mile Of trackage so
level that scarcely an undulatlon can
be felt as the whlzzing train reels off
the laps. This leyelness is maintained
by the "whitewash" car.
The "whltewash" car, says an ex.
change, Is an ordinary vehicle fitted
with sort Of whltewash magazine.
As the cars run over the rails at a
moderate gait the developed sense OF
the division officials notes any Unequal
tiles, and at each one a valve Is press
ed, whereat dash of whitewash falls
on the tracks at the points where
later the working gangs get busy TO
make things even.
This hOmely "whitewash" car is CIV
Ing way rapidly, however to a more
modern and scientific arrangement In

In which is TO be found a delicate in
strument This latter Is so constructed
that 1t registers all unevenness in the
tracks on paper which has indicated
ON 1t the mileage and names of sta
tions along the way, so that when a
run is completed 1t viii be shown just
where repairing needs TO be done. The
indicating sheet Is sent to the proper
department heads Of the company, and
by them the work Of making the road
bed level Is prosecuted.

Breaking His Own Law.

When King Ferdinand OF Bulgaria
proclaimed himself czar at Tirnovo re-
Gently the members Of his encourage
agreed that any one emitting the title
Of majesty" In addressing or referring
to him should be fined 10 francs. The
ministers heard Of this and agreed TO
the same system of fines, which, com
ing to the notice of the prince, was
heartily approved by him. On the rail-
way journey from TlrnOvo, after the
proclamation, the ministers were con
tinually handing out ten franc pieces
But Ferdinand himself provided the
climax of the comedy, for just after
rebuklng the minister Of finance and
fning him "hls majesty" referred un-
thinkingly to the princess" instead Of
the "czarina," whereupon he was
promptly called upon to deliver up 10
francs himself IN forfeit.

WILL MIR. SHAW KINDLY COME
AGAIN?

The Jeffersonian:
Have just read "a Strong Letter" by
John P. Shaw, and must say it is a great
surprise to me if I at all understand it. [
have read several little works on the laws
bearing on the banking system of our coun-
try and thought understood them very we'll,
but if I halfway understand Mr.. Shaw's
article [ know very little about it. What [
know about the banking system I learned
about 1892, and [ said then the government
was a robber government, backing up the
rich in robbery of the poor and industrious,
and I argued that the whole system would be
overturned as soon as the people could be
made to understand the tremendous injustice
Of its workings. Mr.. Shaw's article is too
short and has too little explanation for people
generally to take much note Of it. [ cannot
see how it is that bank can lend 1925 be-
cause deposit of one dollar is made.
Has not a bank the right to lend all the
money it has, above its resources, at any time,
and can the deposit Of dollar in any way
justify the issuing Of six more? If the money
comes in that way the wonder is that the
farmer and laborer can live at all.
I've worked for Populism from the first,
and in the language of F. D. Wimberly will
say "May God bless and preserve our Tom"
and may he press on until the shackIes that
are on us shall be loosed.

All Alabamians who believe in the principles

United States, are requested to send their
names and address to the undersigned at

Hon. Thos E. Watson
I seize my pencil to write this letter express
ing my gratitude to the convention for put
ting our beloved Tom, native Georgian, and
an old standby Of the principles Of true democ-
racy which, if carried out, will free the mil
lions Of laboring masses from the curse Of the
classes.
The Lord has never before, in my recollec-
ton, blessed the farmers with greater yield
than this year, to date, and yet we have
never suffered greater depression in prices
for produce. All because of the money sharks
and hell hounds boarding the money and
withholding it from circulation and that for
the purpose of starving the poor laboring
people and throwing them out Of employment
in order that they could control the campaign
and elect just such a president and congress
as they want to fix laws in the future
for the classes as they have been doing in the
past. But I thank God, Populism has been
born again to rise up with its mighty force
against the deadly enemy which, by class leg
islation, has oppressed the masses, TO- these
many years! And [ pray God that we may
fight the good fight Of faith, and victory will
be ours and that our national affairs may be
revolutionized and better times prevail.
| shall endeavor to speak a word wherever
I can for Watson and if needs be will stump
the county for him. I now live in Alabama,
but I am native of old Georgia and love
the dear old state as a child loves it's mother
and that is one Of the reasons why / intend
to work for Mr.. Watson in this campaign. He
is worthy of the honor Of becoming the
chief executive of our great nation. I want
to say this much, to my brother who is poor
and a laboring man as I am: Whoever willing
ly and knowingly casts vote for either Of the
old party nominees, says by that act that 81
am willing for this panic to continue and for
the classes to continue to make laws that
will make the poor poorer and the rich
richer
The Bible says: 'The time will come when
those will rule over you that hate you,' and
it does seem to me that that time has come.
So let us be up and doing praying God s
help for deliverance, by putting the Hon.
Thomas E. Watson of the grand old state Of
Georgia in the president s chair.
[ remain, worker for Watson,

Hon Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.
My dear Watson: I have read, over again,
your "speech Of acceptance" You will know
how that grand statement of facts and actual
conditions, which control the economic condi-
tions in our ountry, thrills me through almost
every paragraph of that fearless utterance,
when you learn that I voted and worked for
the election Of Peter Cooper, James B. Wea-
yer and all the other candidates who stood
for the rights Of the people in this greatest Of
all problems which ever deserved the atten-
ton of people.
But [ learned, to my great sorrow, after
having spent time and money in what seemed
to me to be the greatest subject ever discussed
by human lips. that there we're two insur-
mountable barriers in the way Of success:
First. The stupid ignorance on the part Of
the masses as to the vital points in contro-
versy, and their utter inability to compre-
bend the shrewd manipulation Of the money
lender to cause the enactment Of laws for his
special benefit and ACKNOWLEDGMENT
And secondly the mighty stronghold of the
rich, while intrenched in the environment of
their ill-gotten surroundings. And, singular
as it may appear, your references to strug-
giles in the past history of the race, serve to
confirm me in the impregnable character Of
those barriers.
And do you know, while pen these words,
I feel like exclaiming in an agonized cry,
Oh, God what thought to carry on our jour
ney to the grave!
There is, however, in it all the earnest pray
er and hope that you will be spared to see
the fruit of your planting and watering

special Correspondence to The Rrsss
LONDON, Oct. 27.--Stationed in
India, dashing young British
army officer meets beautiful ma
tive girl. He loves her. She gives
him her life, herself, with the wild
abandon of her dark skinned race.
She gives him a ring of odd orr
entail design, as pledge of her
love.
The officer grows older, he
"steadies down." he tires of the
native woman, grown older too, and
of, the half breed child which has
7been born to them. He casts the
woman off and marries girl Of his
own race.
He returns to England. He and
his wife go down through the years
together. Then. out of the past,
creeps a haunting figure-a gray
haired, dark skinned woman. From
India she travels to England. The
general receives threatening let
tiers. Then his wife is murdered
shot dead near her home.
A few days later the old general
throws himself underneath a rail-
way train and is mangled to death.
Conan Doyle did not write this
story. He has written many so
closely resembling 1t in plot and
action that they might well have
been modelled from it. But this is
real life tragedy; real human agony
shrieks in its lines, real human
blood has drenched real ground.
And no tale that Doyle ever
wrote has outdone this in cruelty
OF action nor mercilessness of re-
prisal.
The mantle white man-was

Luard, F. r. G. S., soldier Of dis
tinction and scholarly attachments.
Forty years ago he was stationed
at RawalPindi, India. There he
met the native girl. He was Lieu

daughter ct an old Indian money
lender, and was famed for her
beauty and Ter fascinating figure.

number Of the house was correct,
but the figure representing Eighth
street was poorly made. 1t looked
like s, but the householder, more
familiar with handwriting than the
workman, saw at once that Brown
had intended to write the figure 5,
for Fifth street.
The workman put the gate into
order, threw couple of left over
bricks into the street and went
away. -
A few minutes later a clergyman,
living on the opposite side of
Eighth street, started to cross the
thoroughfare. Two boys on bicycles
were racing down the street. The
clergyman stopped to let them
pass. Just as one of the boys was
opposite the clergyman his front
tire struck one Of the bricks. The
boy was thrown upon the clergy
man with such force as to knock
the latter down. His skull was frac-
tured by the fall and he, died in a
few minutes.
Such are the perils of life. Make
you feel sort of creepy, don't they?

head. She lay not far from where
her husband had left her. Three
rings, including an odd oriental
ring, had been wrenched from her
fingers, and her dress had been
pulled almost from her body. The
two Hindus disappeared.
The general brooded continually
over his wife's death, but declined
to give any information to the au-

detection of the murderer. 1t was
