The flame of race hatred has again

RAH, FOR TIE RAT!
Hasty Early Judgments Should BE
Suppressed.

Sometimes when we make mean re-
marks about our neighbors and those
neighbors eventually turn out to be
rather a good sort, with kindly and
helpful traits, we wish down in our
hearts that we had never referred to
them in a contemptuous way.
Now, my lady's rat" has come in
for a great deal of ridicule, but it has
not shown any resentment, preferring
to do it's work in it's own way. Here
of late the rat" has stepped into the
limelight, as it were, as a life-saver
whose claims to recognition and uni
versal applause cannot be denied.
Only the other day Woman's hus-
band, no doubt a mean man, struck
her on the head with a hammer, but
the ever-ready "rat" interposed and
prevented her skull from being frac-
tured.
A young woman in Columbus, O.,
got off a trolley car in the wrong way
"a woman's way-and alighted on
her head. What softened the impact
of her head against the pavement, do
you suppose? Her rat"
Another young woman in New York
was shot at by her jealous lover and
might have been killed, but the bull
let lodged in her rat" and she wasn't
hurt and was able to tell all the
newspaper reporters how it happened.

DEPARTMENT APPROPRIATIONS.
Requirements of Act Maxim ApprOpri-
ations for Agricultural Department

Washington, D. c., July 31.-In the
act making appropriations for the De.
partment of Agriculture for the year
ending June 80, 1909, the secretary
was authorized "to establish a stan
dard for the different grades of cot
ton, calling to his assistance for that
purpose expert cotton classifers, by
fixing a standard of middling cotton
and, using the same as a basis, estab-
fishing standard of nine different
grades to be designated middling,
strict middling, good middling, strict
middling middling, strict low mid
ding, strict low middling, low mid
ding, strict good ordinary and good
ordinary
The secretary was further author
lied "to prepare in practical form the
standard of said grades, and furnish
the same upon request to any person :
A committee, which included de
partment experts and prominent rep
resentatives of the cotton trade was
appointed to fix the grades.
The committee has just submitted q
report, which the secretary approved
fixing the grades, and making certain
recommendations in connection there
with.
In view of the fact that contracts
are made for cotton in advance of the
ensuing cotton season, the committee
recommended that the grades agreed
upon by the committee be not pro-
mu1gated for general use in trans
actions prior to September, 1910. Ir
order, however, for the cotton trade
to become fully acquainted with the
grades, the Department of Agriculture
will in a short time place sets with
associations, organizations, exchanges
and agricultural colleges for insuec-
tions These will enable the cotron
producers, merchants and spinners to
become familiar with them.

Railroad commissioners Prevented
From Putt. Order I'm Effect.


Asheville, N. c., July 29.-An in
junction was issued this evening by
Judge Pritchard restraining the rail-
road commissioners of South Carolina
from carrying into effect an order
made by them requiring the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad to operate two
unmixed trains daily between Con-
way, S. c., and Chadbourn, N. C.
The order, which was issued upon
the application of Attorney P A. W6I-
cox, of Florence, S. c., required the
defendants to show cause here August
II why the Injunction should not be
made permanent. but provides that
upon four days notice the defendants
| may apply to the court to rescind or
modify the Injunction. The required
injunction bond of $4,000 was given by
the American Surety Company
through its local president, J. P. Saw
year, and Attorney J. c.. Martin. The
Dill OF complaint, which was signed
by Wilcox & Wilcox, George B. FL
lott, and Henry E. Davis, alleges that
January IS the citizens of Conway
and Loris, S. c., petitioned the rail-
way to put on two trains daily be-
tween Conway and Chadbourn dis
tance Of thirty-nine miles, and upon
this not being done, filed a petition
with the railroad commissioners and
said commissioners issued a notice
requiring complainant to appear be-
fore it at Conway, March "a, and on
July 80 said board ordered the rail-
road within thirty days to inaugurate
two daily unmixed trains between
Conway and Chadbourn.
The bill alleges that the commits
sion has no power under the law to
make such order, that the proceeding
is Illegal in that provision is made for
notice to defendant or for inquiry
with witness and it interferes with in

the running of trains between two

TO DEFEND OIL INSPECTION ACT,
Board of Agriculture Files It's Answer
to Injunction Suit of Red G. Co.


Raleigh, N. c., July 30.-The an
swer of the members of the Board OF
Agriculture in the case brought
against them in the Federal Court to
enjoin the enforcement of the oil in
spection law, was yesterday filed by
Messrs. r. III. Battle & Son, the reg
ular attorneys of the board, and At
torney-Genera1 T. w. Beckett. The
case is to be heard on Monday by
Judge H. G. Connor.
The answer, broadly speaking, is a
denial of the essential allegations
the complainant and maintains that
the oil inspection act in no way vio-
lates the constitution of North Caro-
lima, or the constitution of the United
States, and that the rules and regula-
tions adopted by the Board of Agri-
culture for the enforcement of the
statute are reasonable and just, and
afford no real ground of complaint.
It will be remembered that the Red
C Oil Company, of Baltimore, attacked
tHe OH Inspection ACT upoH Tie STouHu
that it attempted to delegate legisla-
tive powers to the Board of Agricul-
ture and under the guise of a police
regulation attempted to levy a tax
upon interstate commerce, and that
the rules and regulations adopted by
the Board of Agriculture were unnec-
essary and unjust and outside of the
powers conferred by the statute it
self. The answer, which is volum-
inous document, denies all these mat
ters in detail and presents squarely
the issues as to the constitutionality
of the act of the Legislature.
