HAS PRIVATE MAIL ROUTE
CHARGED WITH INFRINGING
POSTAL RIGHT.
1t Required Nearly Two Years for the
Government to Obtain Evil
dence in the Case.

Government to Obtain Evil
dence in the Case.
Charging infringement of the
rights of the federal postal service
the United States government has
commenced teton against an express
company, a railroad and a lumber
concern for the collection of dam
ages. The defendants are the South
ern Express Co., the Mississippi Cen
trail Railroad Co., and the ]. ]. New
man Lumber Co.
The specific charge is that these
concerns have been transmitting, re-
ceiving and transporting letters to
and from the headquarters of the
lumber company in Hattiesburg, Miss,
and its plant in Sumrall and that the
business has been carried on for
many months over an established
postoffice route in violation of law.
According to allegations, the prac-
tlce has been to pass business letters
to and from the points mentioned in
suitcase or small grip, which was
entrusted to the Southern Express
messenger operating on the trains be-
tween BrOOkhaven and Hattisburg.
The receptacle was duly waybilled
and paid for at the point of delivery
and was handled as any other express
matter.
Investigation of the service was be-
gun by the government in 1906.
Action is based on a section of the
statutes that prohibits the transpor-
tation of mails over an established
mail route by persons or corporations
other than those authorized by the
United Sites to do so, and fixing the
penalty for each offense at $3.50, re-
cOverable by civil action.

world has ever known.
In the good Old-fashioned days of

The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia +. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pc
'culiar ills, more potent and ettica-

Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable

what there is seems laid on grudging-

Whirls his arms, sways his small
body, losses his head like racer.
This last sets a lock of hair to way

head; it takes part in his disputes,
and, falling and floating like pony's
name, punctuates his periods with
loppy emphasis. Ever and again as
he talks his thin, nervous right hand

lock, and with one motion furl it

tiers Are Destroyed
One of the most destructive pests
with which California vineyardists
have to contend, known as the kan
CARGO rat has made it's appearance
in the vineyards around and on the
summit on Ben Lemond mountain.
They are appearing by the hun
dreds and are feeding on the young
buds OF the grape vines. If some
effective means of killing them is not
mt upon they will destroy the en-
tire crop.
The cause of their appearance in
such numbers is attributable to re-
cent wholesale slaughter of rattle
snakes, natural enemies of the kan
CARGO rats, in that neighborhood.

drawn with the reading of many
books. His forehead is broad, but
retreating; and gives one the i'm
preston that he sees more than he
thinks. This is true Mr.. Watson is
not much an originator as a per-
ceiver. He sees things; he is not so
apt to think them.
Consistent with these latter at
tributes is the hawkiSh tendency of
Mr.. Watson. His face, rather prom
inently phrased as to nose, is of the
Ratchet, beakish kind, and has de-
cidedly a falcon effect And that's
what Mr.. Watson is; and if there be
aught in the transmigration of souls
which / much misdoubt-that's
what Mr.. Watson was, falcon. He
has the shrill, raspy voice, the pow
er of strong, high fight, the pinion,
the talon, the Deak, and withal the
swoop of the hawk. He thinks nerce-
ly, too, and while he may have the
wrong side of the debate as often as
have others you may be sure by
beak or claw he'll set the subject
bleeding before he's closed.
His Words Cut Like a Bowie Knife,
When Mr. Watson was in the hou.e
few men cared for contest with him.
He fears no one. His record is pure,
his character without stain His hon
esty has never bred a doubt. Indus
trious to the point of overwork, with
an indomitable bent to labor and
dig, book-fed to a degree, he is al
hJIfnrlXv ~ IN
full OF his subject. He has, more
over, a lancet-nke incisiveness that
cuts. And, if interfered with by
taunt or jeer or contradiction, he can
talk like the thrust of bowie knife;
his rhetoric stabs. For all these
trenchant reasons, most members
preferred to give the pale, over
trained young gentleman from Geor-
gia a wide berth in debate. They
got no victory, no honor, and only
wounds from collision with him.
Mr.. Watson dresses we'll, but not
modishly. His garb is not new
But he has all of a cats
scruples to be neat. He has no gift
of humor, life is a serious struggle
with him. His sense of honor is not
only nigh, but acute, and he is pain
fully faithful to a principle or a
friend AS you look at him you real
ize that he is one who would ride on
a tumbril, and give his head to the
guillotine for a conviction. When
the north produces a John Brown
the south puts forth a Tom Watson.
They are alike to their regions. Yet
it is to be doubted if either would
feel complimented by the COMPARE

They Tried to Bully Him.

Mr. Watson has no tact, no talent
for personal friendship, and is re-
served and distant even while doing
right. He is essentially of his
environment, believes in the duello
and the personal responsibility of
men for both their words and their
deeds. He once shot several salts
factory holes in fellow attorney
who invaded his sensibilities.
Mr.. Watson is not poor man; for
his region he is rich He has farms
which pay, a law practice which pays,
and a magazine which does not lose
much. He held a seat only in the
Fifty-second congress. He has been
a candidate who failed twice since
then. He is self-made-every splint-
er of him. Born and reared in Geor-
gia, child as he was at the time, the
war wrecked his early prospects, and
all there is to him today he built
himself
Altogether, Mr.. Watson is a better
American, and a better man for his
age, than are such as Rockefeller or
Mr.. Morgan or Mr. Ryan. He thinks
less of himself and more of the peo-
pie, and syndicate of those named
could no more buy him or own him
than it could buy or own star. Be-
tween us, he is the sort of person you
would not hesitate to name as ex-
ecutOr of your estate. You would
feel reasonably sure, as you dreamed
in your grave, that your widow and
orphans were getting their dues. You
might go long summers day and
meet no better man.
