Many people delude themselves by

Take Foley'e Kidney Pills, and stop

GUARDS MISS ELKINS
FROM KODAK FIEND

NEW YORK. Oct. Miss Katherine
EllSins arrived today on the White Star
liner Adriatic, after a stay of severa
weeks In Europe, during which it has
been asserted and denied that she had
met the Duke Of the Abruzzi to whom at
one time she was reported to be engaged.
1t was reported at the same time that
royal objections to the match had been
withdrawn, and that Miss Elkins was the
sole dictator.
With Miss Elkins were her mother, Mrs.
Stephen B. Elkins, and her two brothers,
Stephen and Davis. The latter was
asked:
rs your sister engaged to be married
to the duke?"
NOT THAT HE KNOWS.
so far as 1 know she is not he re-
Piled
Would you know if an engagement ex-
isted?"
Not necessarily"
Mr. Elkins added that II his sister and
the duke had met. he did not know it..
and he did not believe they had.
DISTRESSED BY INTERVIEWS.
Senator Elkins was on the pier to meet
his family. Miss Elkins denied herself to
all interviewers.
Some photographers endeavored to ge.
a picture Of Miss Elkins but her brothers
and several friends crowded around her
to prevent it. Senator Elkins remarked
that his daughter had been driven almost
to distraction by the reports that have
been printed about her. She has the APP
pearance of having been through much
mental strain.

COURT rs ASKED
TO ENJOIN CANDIDATE

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. 7-George d.
Todd, independent Republican candidate
for mayor, today instituted an injunction
suit in the jefferson circuit court against
the regular Republicans to succeed
himself.
In his petition Mr.. Toud declares that
Grinstead is ineligible to hold the office
of mayor, having been elected for one
term, and quotes the constitutional in
hibition. He declares that If County
Clerk Gabhart is permitted to place May
or Grinstead's name on the ballot as the
Republican candidate, the voters will be
mislead to his (Todd's) disadvantage.
DATE FOR CASE.
He also alleges that in the event that
Grinstead receives a plurality of the votes
he will be declared Ineligible, thereby
rendering a special election necessary.
The case will be heard October 9.
Today's events are but incidents in the
warmest municipal campaign in many
years both parties being split and each
having two tickets in the field. The ne
gro enters largely into the campaign and
the Democrats, at least those on the tick
ct headed by William o.. Head, a prorni-
nent lawyer, have made this the para
mount ISSUE asking for "a white mans
government" The citizens ticket" a
detection principally from the Head tick
ct, is headed by Hon. owen Tyler, Q
prominent and wealthy business man.
CHALLENGER ARRESTED.
Maj. w. A. Colston, assistant controll-
er Of the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road, who was arrested last night while
serving in the capacity of a Democratic
challenger in a registration booth, on
the charge of hindering registration for
the approaching city election, was pre-
sented in police court today and on petit
tion of counsel the case went over until
October u. Major Colston was taken into
custody without a warrant and on the
request. it is said. of John Upton. the
Republican challenger, while he (Colston)
was questioning the statements of GER
tain negroes who wished to register.
Major Colston was given ride to central
station in the police automobile and lock-
ed up for some time before bond was
made for him.

WOMEN MUST GIVE
THEIR REAL NAMES

Chicago is frowning down on the
clandestinc correspondence which is being
carried on under fictitious names by
means of the general delivery department
Of the postoffice. Recently 5000 women
who have been receiving their mail adj
dressed to the general delivery, were COM
PEELED to give their real names and adj
dresses in order that they might be identi-
fed II occasion should arise. Many of
them, as might be expected, gave their
names under protest.
To the uninitiated it may appear strange
that person may not receive mail under
any name he or she desires TO use. II
also may appear peculiar that women are
singled out and the men allowed to use
any old name they choose. To those on
the inside, however, it is a very simple
matter.
The custom Of using the general deliv-
cry window for letters has steadily been
growing In every city in the United States
during the past few years. Right here in
Atlanta the amount OF man received by
women through this department is enor-
nous All day long there is steady
stream of women going to and coming
from the postoffice. They have been to
the general delivery window.
Why do not they have their letters sent
TO their homes? you asa.
There are various reasons. Women
using the general delivery window, as a
rule, do not care for their letters to be
seen by outsiders, or do not care for their
relatives and friends to know where they
are living. In the former case it is not
infreQuent that married women or young
girls are carrying on clandestine cores
pondence.
The real menace Of the general de-
livery correspondence window is the fact
that II makes communication between
young. innocent girls and undesirable mer
easy and in a crude way, romantic.
1T would surprise you" said an off,
cial Of the postoffice, ito know the num-
Der Of women and girls who get their
mail at the general delivery window. 1t
is easy to detect the novice In this KIM
OF correspondence or the married woman
who has something to conceal. They are
invariably confused and nervous. In
short time. however. they get used to
coming and pay no attention to the stareS
OF the loungers in front OF the win
dow. One could trace many a tragedy
to the general delivery window"

Presidents Brother Will Supply
400 Cattle Day to Canal Work
ers From His Unique Farm,
Which Includes Packing Houses
and Storage Plants.
Especial Correspondence.1

TAFT, Tex, Sept. 25.-Is Charles P.

the employees on the Panama canal?
That he is is the talk of the whole
southwest.
Contracts with the government calling
for between 300 and 400 beef cattle day.
to be delivered at Panama. is the Texas
version of Charley Taft's luck"
But the way that President Taft's
brother is going to carry out that con-
tract is equally sensational with the fact
that he got it. Brother Charley, with
nearly a half-million acres of rich Texas
land is going ranching in way that has
never been done anywhere else in the
world.
He is going to do all his packing right
on the ranch. No sending to Chicago or
Omaha packing houses-nO Dig freight
bills to eat into profits. Charley Taft is
going to do all the work himself right
on the ground.
They won't talk much on the big Taft
ranch about their plans for feeding the
Panama canal, but they're rushing work
night and day on a half-million dollar
packing house. When completed it will
be in a position to throw down the gauge
OF defiance to the present beef trust.
Charles P. Taft, packer-this is the sign
of the future.
And that isn't all. He's going to pack
other farm products there. He's going tc
have a cotton mill and turn the cotton
from 5000 acres into cloth right on the
ground. Also he'll have electric light
plants, storage houses and factories for
using all the by-products.
No ranching like this has ever been seen
in the state of Texas, and the whole
southwest is aghast at the daring of the
plan.
The Coleman-Fulton Pasture company,
Charles P. Taft. president, owns the con-
trolling interest in the Taft packing house.
and the two great Texas ranches, La
Quinta," in San Patricio county; and The
Encinal," in Encinal and Wepp counties
The former consists of 10000 acres and
the latter of 100000 acres.
The gigantic ranch is to be developed
to it's highest point of productiveness and
not one single dollars worth Of its pro-
ducts will be shipped or sold in its raw
state.
Moreover not an acre will be sold
to colonists. All will be kept in
tact and administered by the one
giant corporation.
A large ice and cold storage plant also
will care for the fish caught in the gulf
waters. and the vegetables raised on the
farm.

JONES IS SCORED
IN REPLY OF Conner
Alabama Governor Issues Eight
Page Statement in Which He
Takes to Task Federal Judge
for Charges.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Oct. 7.-Gov. B.
B. Conner has replied to the criticisms OF
Judge Thomas G. Jones, of the United
States court, for the middle district of
Alabama. Governor Corners state
ment, which covers eight pages, is
in reply to a seven-column article which
Judge Jones, an ex-governor of Alabama,
recently published, in which the chief
executive was denounced for views taken
by him in his stump and other speeches.
The governor, in mis- reply, admits that
he has criticised Judge Jones. In this
connection the governor says:
1.-The fact that he was an almost life
long employee of the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad, and that a large number OF
his family, brothers and son, have like
wise been, and are, employed by the same
railroad, shows from the very nature of
the case. that he was bound to be preju-
diced, and. however fair he might be-
lieve himself to be, with this environ
ment and his disposition, IL was impos-
sible for him to give this state a fair,
impartial trial. The sacredness and just
ness, which by common consent is ac-
corded to every court, could not be con-
coded to his court in the trial Of these
cases."
The statement goes on to explain varI-
GUS actions of the judge in regard to
railroads, and comments upon the fact
that each time Judge Jones quit the EN-
ploy of the state he went back to the
Louisville and Nashville railroad. Branch
ing from this, the statement calls atten-
ton to Judge Jones' request that Judge
Shelby sit with him in the rate case liti-
CATION" and adjudges from this action
that the jurist was prejudfced.
The governor regrets the arrest of So
licitor H. B. Stegall. of the Third cir
cult who was cited by Judge Jones be-
cause of contempt Of court, arising from
the state and federal attitude. The gov
ernor states that he regards the arrest
as lone of the most suppressing and OPP

On the two ranches there are now 10O.-
900, head of cattle and the yearly increase
is estimated at 10000 All these will be
utilized by the Taft packing house. There
are also 10000 sheep and 10000 hogs.
An electric light plant to supply lights
for Sinton, Gregory, Taft, Portland. the
four villages on the vast estate. and for
the ranch in general will be operated in
connection with the ice house and the
packing house.
In order to utilize every foot Of land
on the ranch thousands of Mexicans are
now busy clearing off the mesquite and
cactus, and by next year the biggest cot
ton patch in the world will be planted.
This will be % miles long. and will ex-
tend along both sides of the San Antonio
and Arkansas Pass railroad the width of
one mile.
The most modern methods prevail
everywhere. The sod is being turned by
a 59-horse power traction engine, which
turned % feet at a swath, and which will
pillow 20 acres per day. An experiment
farm will be established, under the direc-
ton of experts. and the farming will be
conducted along the most scientific lines.
When completed the farm will contain
l6, 900 acres in cotton and 5000 acres in
other crops. The cotton will produce an
average of three-quarters of a bale of
cotton to the acre, or about 1900 bales
per year. At an average selling price o.
$50 per bale, the income from the farm
alone will be 100000 per year. But not a
bale of this cotton or a single seed will
be put on the market.
nil MA will
turn into calicoes, sheetings and other
finished products every lock Of cotton
picked from the bolls
An oil mill is now going up which will
convert the seed into meal. hulls and OIL
The meal and hulls will be used to fatten
the cattle for the packing house and the
oil will be used in making by-products.
The government of this vast estate Of
fers an interesting lesson in sociology.
Under the direct command Of the mana
ger is a population Of over 1000. includ-
ing four good-sized towns-Sinton with a
population of 1880; Gregory, 500; Taft,
500; and Portland, 400 In the three latter
towns every house and every lot is owned
by the ranch manager. The inmates are
all employees.
The houses are all modern and comfort
able cottages, the rent is reasonable. the
sanitary conditions excellent. The cor
porations at its own expense provides ex-
cellent schools, builds roads, streets and
churches, and even provides for the SAL
aries of the ministers.
The Mexican laborers are housed com
fortably in a different section of the
towns and are also provided with schools
and churches.
Law is practically administered by John
F. Green, the superintendent who set
ties all disputes. He designates justices,
constables and the 20 deputy sheriffs- All
are employees of the company.
