Two women journalists from
Waxahachie are attending the con-
vention of the Texas Woman's Press
association. They are Miss Ora Mil
Ter and Mrs. S. H. Watson. Miss Mil
Ter devotes much of her time to So
ciety notes, personal and local items
such matters as generally fall to a
reporters share, but she has cause
to be justly proud of her work along
humane lines. She has aroused the
good people of her city by one of her
articles and they nave organized a
Humane society in consequence So
much for the influence of one wom-
ans pen. The Daily Light, the Long
mont Times and Hunters Independ-
ent, West Virginia, are the papers
for which she reports. Mrs Watson
writes for the South and does mis-
cellaneous work-Fort Worth Rec

TRAIN TOWED IN.
How Hours of Service Law Works
During Floods and Washouts.

Another example of what the six
teen hour law will do is given in the
following extract from the Parsons.
(Kan.) Eclipse: THE working of
the new federal law known as the
hour of service law on the railroads
was shown here a day or two ago
when the Katy train No. % pulled
into Wann. Owing to washouts the
train had been detoured and conse-
quently did not get into Parsons on
schedule time. The law requires that
no passenger crew shall be on duty
more than sixteen hours in success
sion. When the train came to Wann,
the crew found that their sixteen
hours were up.
There was only one thing to do
wait for the next passenger train
and be towed into Parsons The
crew had worked the limit fixed by
law, and nothing else was left to do.
Train No. "a came along in a short
time, and the belated train and crew
were towed into Parsons

Women Who Wear Well.

II Is astonishing how great q change q
few years of married life often make In
the appearance and disposition OF many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from q
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, a faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
rage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain Is robbing the cheek
OF its freshness and the form OF Its
fairness.

THAT Ex-Governor Aycock is to
come to Durham and speak to
the Democracy is a source Of
qualification to lis many admirers
here and that are close enough to
come out and hear him. 1t goes
without saying that he will have
a large crowd and that they will
be fully repaid for going out t
hear him.

He might not have thought
about it. but some one else has.
and it sounds rather like a pecu-
liar coincidence that the negro
should initiate the example of
Freeman Jones. or rather that
we should be reminded of the
double hanging we had last year
with such a forcible example,
negro and a white man.

CAMPAIGN expenses seem to
be cutting quite a figure in this
campaign and every effort is be-
ing made on all sides to increase
the campaign of fund of both
parties. 1t is to be hoped in
county affairs that the Republi-
cans will be able to pay out this
time and not have someone carry
their bills over for two years as
was the case two years ago.
The Durham recorder. [volume] (Durham, N.C.) 1879-19??, 1908-09-22

THE campaign cannot last more
than six weeks more. Every eff.
fort will be made from now to
interest the voter in the policies
of the party that are afterhisvote,

man to inform himself about the
issues and govern himself as he
sees the situation.

papers is to be relied upon the
chances Of Bryan being elected
