"CONJURED" BY HER ENEMY.
Negro Girl Thinks that She was Made
to Eat "Snal1e Dust"

Leila Davis, colored girl at Dur
ham, n. c., has been very i'll under
the belief that she has been conjured
by her rival The girl and her black
beau quarreled some time. ago and
patched up miserable peace. Not
long since the Davis girl began to
complain that internally there we're
living things that bit her She found
out that her rival had conjured her.
Thereupon she went for Silas Ham
ilton, an old conjure breaker of Raj
eigh, negro with forty years Of
experience. His diagnosis was that
the girl had eaten snake dust which
her enemy must have powdered up
and given her in liquid form. DR..
S1laS says that snake dust will inva-
riably evolve itself into live reptiles
as soon as it finds moisture in the
human anatomy, and that unless one
gets it out quickly he must die.
He has ured thousands, he says,
and he thinks the Davis girl will re-
cover The "snake dust" Is made by
powdering the dried hide Of the SER
pent fine. AS a medication it Is said
TO be something fierce, and the wo-
man who administered it evidently
knew what it would do.

England's New Ruler Has Little
Time to Spare.

London, May 12.--FrOm a life of
comparative ease and retirement,
King George suddenly finds himself
one Of the hardest worked officials
IN the kingdom. In addition to
spending considerable time daily at
, Buckingham Palace, comforting his
widowed mother, he has to attend to

Harbors Congress could do no r-nre eff
fective work than to press upeu the
national legislature the necessity OF
passing laws that would put an end to
the privilege which the railroads now
enjoy, of monopoHzing all business
and all terminals. =
England and the United States are
the two great countries in which. in
an era when transportation is con
stantly increasing in Importance, the
use of waterways has decreased till 1t
is negligible. And in both countries
the reason IS identical. Regulation
and control Of railroad practices has
not beer rigorous enough to prevent
them iron getting financial control of
canals, water terminals, harbors. etc
Where the hand OF efficient regula-
ton has taken hold of this problem,
in the light of these facts, it has
everywhere restored the traffic to the
rivers and given the people much lower
freight charges.
Why not do the same in this coun-
try Why not make sure that $50
100000 a year spent in improving
rivers will provide some commercial
opportunity before spending the
money!
