WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-There is
an unmistakable hint of skepticism
in the attitude of the state department
toward the program of reform which
has been adopted bv Nicaragua's new
president. Jose Madriz.
His suddenly developed passion for
house cleaning, following the depar-
ture of Zelaya, is by no means taken
as proof that the administration of
Madriz will be clear of the faint OF
Zelayaism.

SUIT FOR WRECKED MAIL.
Government Asks Damages for Send
ers of Registered Letters.

Wilmington, N. c., July 27.-So far as
is known the first case or record where
the United States government seeks to
make a railroad liable for the loss of reg
istered mail was argued in Federal Court
here. The government, as bailee for the
serGers of As packages of registered mail,
seeks to recover $4,000 from the Atlantic
Coast Line Railway. 1t also asks for
about 800 damages for the loss of mail
equipment. The action grows out of a
wreck at Lucama, N. c., in 1904, when the
mail car was smashed to pieces and the
registered mall including a package of
diamonds being sent from Paris to Cuba,
was lost.
The government alleges negligence and
lack of proper protection for the mail.
The road sought a dismissal on the
ground that a railroad is not liable for
mail in transit; that the government is
not even liable and sustains no loss, and
that to hold a road liable will revolution
ize the mail contract system jim the United
States. In the particular coast line case
the mail was being carried for less than
6 mills. Also that the railroad is not a
common carrier as to the government and
has no control of mail cars.
Judge Connor took the case under ad-
visement.

and bearing the words quoted. They
were current only for very short
time. Most of them were used, it is be-
lieved, in sending invitations for a ball,
consequently but few of the letters
were preserved, and there has followd
the usual law of supply and demand as
regards value.
The sergeant obtained expert advice
on them and was told that they were
worth today $4,000 with the prospect of
increasing in value as time goes on.
The happy possessor put them in lit
tie box and took them with him where
he is stationed. He formed one of the
French contingent lately in Crete. AS
soon as he arrived there he placed mis-
treasure for safety in the strong-room
of bank at Canea, where it lay dur
ing the time of the foreign protector
ate.
When the time came for the troops
to withdraw, the sergeant reclaimed his
stamps. 1t was an event in Crete, for
he was a very popular man, and n
crowd accompanied him to the bank
ard cheered when he reappeared car
rying the little box inclosing his treas
ure. The Paris paper which tells the
story says that philatelists may expect
a sensation ere long.

CAPiTAL-TO.CAPlTAL ROAD.
Newspaper Auto Scouts Decide on
Route for Big Highway.

Atlanta, Ga, July 27.-The officials of
the New York-to-Atlanta automobile
highway completed their deliberations
here and announced the selection of
the route which will be followed in the
good roads and reliability run between
the two cities next October.
The New York Heralds experts de-
cided to adopt the road leading from
New York acress Staten Island to
Perth Amboy to Philadelphia, to Get
tysburg, across the historic battlefield,
down through the beautiful Sherman
doah valley, through Lexington and
Natural Bridge, to Roanoke
At Roanoke, Va, the Atlanta Jour-
nars scouts took up the choice of roads
and selected from Roanoke to Green's
boro or Winston Salem, to Salisbury, to
Charlotte, to Spartanburg, to Green
vile, and on to Atlanta.
The route was chosen after the scout
cars of the Atlantic Journal and the
New York Herald had covered more
than 1000 miles of road, and is believed
the best one available. The scouts say
that both the capital -to-capital and the
Bristol routes will be built, but in their
judgment at present there are too
many ferries and too few bridges to
justify the selection.
The route selected is about LBS miles
long, and before the hig endurance be-
gins next October a sign board will be
erected at every crossroad to guide the
drivers in the race.

MAKE GEORGIA PEACHES PAY.
Improved Methods of Marketing Result
in 100000 Profit.

Atlanta. Ga, July 27-Over half a
million dollars profit directly due to
improved methods of marketing were
made off the Georgia peach crop this
year, according to figures just pub
lished. This year for the first time
Georgia growers organized into mu-
tual benefit exchange, modelled on the
lines of California fruit shippers asso-
Citations. The result was that a crop of
nearly 1000 carloads of peaches this
year brought about $1,00O,000, or about
the same price which a crop of 5000
carloads brought last year. The price
this year went as high as 81 per crate
The Importance of these figures for
the South lies in the fact that not only
the peach growers, but the raisers Of
other Southern fruit crops, are organ
izing similar associations. In each case
Southern associations have followed
the California idea of keeping the crop
rolling" in freight cars.

M ESM ERiZED.
A Poisonous Drug Still Freely Used.

Many people are brought up to be-
lieve that coffee is a necessity of life,
and the strong hold that the drug has
on the system makes it hard to loosen
its grip even when one realizes its
injurious effects.
A lady in BaraboO, writes: Il had
used coffee for years; it seemed one
of the necessities of life. A few
months ago, my health, which had
been slowly failing, became more i'm
paired. and l knew that unless relief
came from some source, l would soon
be a physical wreck.
Il was weak and nervous, had sick
headaches. no ambition, and felt tired
of life My husband was also losing his
health He was troubled so much with
indigestion that at times he could eat
only a few mouthfuls of dry bread.
I'VE concluded that coffee was slow
ly poisoning us, and stopped it and
used hot water. We felt somewhat
better but it wasn't satisfactory.
Finally, we saw Postum adver-
tsed. and bought a package. / fol-
lowed directions for making carefully,
allowing it to boil twenty minutes
after it came to the boiling point, and
added cream, which turned it to the
loveliest rich-looking and tasting drink
l ever saw served at any table, and we
have used Postum ever since.
Il gained five pounds in weight in
as many weeks, and now feel well
and strong in every respect My
headaches have gone, and ,am new
woman. My husbands indigestion has
left him, and he can now eat anything.

and then addressed an audience of 200,
many protestants being in the number.
The early Irish settlers are entitled to
great credit for their work in clearing
and settling the lands here, and for
laying the foundations for many beau
tiful homes.
Closely connected with the early his
tory of this town We're the Kavanaugh
and Cottrell families, who settled DAM
ariScotta Mills. One of the Kavanaugh
family was governor of the state and
Miss Havanaugh was one of the
benefactorias of the Academy. Last
year the 18th anniversary of the build
ing OF st. Denis Church was celebrated.
In 1909 the first Baptist church was
organized here. and the early pastors
were Asa Wing, John Skill, William
