Taft DIDN'T Do It.
WOULD HAVE LOST THE GOOD
WILL OF SOUTH.
NEAR Sensation" i'm National Capital
Dies acknowledgement Taft
Would D.ne With Negro-But He
Didn't.

Washington, March 11.-There was
near-sensation" in Washington
Tuesday, whose rumor shook the DO
llticians to their shivering souls and
ratified the dry bones of Dixie.
Along about noon the story was
whispered about the capitol that last
night President Taft was to be the
guest Of honor at banquet given to
Professor w. S. Scarborough, presi-
dent of Wilbeforce University, Xenia
Ohio.
The British minister, it was said
and several prominent senator's had
received invitatione and had hastened
to respond that personal and press
ing engagements" prevented their at
tendance. But the president owed a
political debt to DR.. Scarborough for
services in the national campaign and
was going to pay it.
Within an hour the gossips and
alarmists were buzzing like bees and
every chief Faber in the press GAL
leries was whetted for keen and in
cisive service.
1T is worse than the Booker Wash
| 1ngton dinner" was the general ex-
preston, "and the president will lose
in an hour all the good will he has
In
| administration"
1T will lose the last hope of the Re-
publican party for reinforcements
from the South" was the politicians
comment.
And the Southern correspondents
| said little, but it was evident from the
nervous twitch of their pencil fingers
that they were getting ready to burn
| the wires.
At o'clock came from the White
| House the information that the presi-
dent was to dine at home with his
| family and after dinner was to take
part in some public exercises in one
Of the city churches in the interest
| Of Wilbeforce University, whose negro
president had written an open letter
to his race in the last campaign in
advocacy Of Mr.. Taft's election.
And so the sensation "died a-born-
in" and left the wonder 'if it was
so quickly done for, what on earth
was it begun for" but the incident is
| provocative Of comment. AS evidence
| Of continued race prejudice it is con-
| firmatory of the recent speech of Dr.
w. E. Dubois, at the Saturday meet
| ing Of the Republican club.
No more of that.
| But behind it looms the shadow of
| the vast political campaign of the Re.
| publican party, Of which it is the op-
ening gun.
The presidents State, Ohio, is the
| pivotal State in the battle preceding
the presidential campaign. The fight
| for the next governorship of Ohio is
| going to be one of the most tremen-
dous and spectacular fights of this
generation. If the president loses his
own State he will be handicapped il
not discredited for 1912.

IMPORTANT RAILROAD RULING.
COAST LINE AND G. 4 w. G. MUST
GRANT SAME RATES.
Railroad Commission Orders That
They Operate rs Single System for
Purpose of Assessing Charges.

A resolution adopted by the rail-
road commission requires that the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Com
pany and the Charleston & Western
Carolina Railway are required to he
operated In this State as one and the
same system and that rates based on
continuous mileage shall apply over
both roads Jointly.
Several weeks ago the commission
issued an order for the roads to show
cause why this step should not be
taken. The action Of the commission
was based on statements In the an
nual report OF the Coast Line to the
effect that the road controlled the
Charleston & Western Carolina. At
the hearing the representatives Of
the systems contended that they
would lose about $4,000 annually
should rates based on continuous
mileage be used. The effective date of
the order is May Ia.
At the first hearing before the
commission the Beaufort representa-
tives were not present on account or
the illness OF some members. A spe-
ciaI meeting for this delegation was
held Monday. The Beaufort business
men asked that the rates on, continu-
Gus mileage be applied. 1t was stated
that unless relief was given that the
trucking industry of the Beaufort
territory would be destroyed. II was
shown that the truckers OF that sec
tion would be saved over $4,000 an
nually. II was also shown that Jack
sonville. which Is 200 miles farther
away from the Eastern markets than
Beaufort. Is receiving a lower rate by
3 cents on the crate. Beaufort Is To-
Gated on the Charleston & Western
Carolina railway.
The following is the law under
which the commission acted:
Sec. S5. All connecting railroads
doing business In this State. and un-
der the management or control, by
lease. ownership. association or 9TH
erwise. OF one and the same person.
firm. corporation or association, shall
for purposes of transportation. In ap-
plying freight and passenger tariffs.
be considered as constituting but one
and the same road. and the rate shall
be computed as upon parts of one
and the same road, and the rate shall
be fixed by the railroad commission. :"
The following Is the resolution of
the commission:
That the Atlantic Coast Line Rail-
road Company and the Charleston &
Western Carolina Railway Company,
being connecting railroads. doing
business In this State. and both roads
being under the control by ownership
OF stock Of one and the same corpo-
ration. to wit. the Atlantic Coast Line
. Company, shall for purposes of
transportation In applying freight
and passenger tariffs be conside. ed
as constituting but one and the same
road, and that an order OF this COM
mission be issued accordingly, to be
effective on and after May is, 1910"

We made an easy landing on the l mountain side on an elevation of l 3:45 D. m and near nightfall We knew we were a considerable dia iance from any settlement so VIC decided to pass the night in the basket of the balloon
 The next morning we started for civilization, heading south. It took days of strenuous exertion with nc
 more to eat than was absoiutei5 necessary. We had to carry all our food as well as blankets se cover us st night We needed blank cts badly for we had two snow storms on the- way

A physician. oi Portland, Oregon, has views about food. lie says:
 T have always believed that the duty of the physician does nor cease with treating the sick, but that we owe it to humanity to teach them how to protect their health. especially by hygienic and dietetic laws.
 With such a feeling as to my duty l take grsa; pleasure in say ing to the public that in my own experience snl also from personal observation I have found no food to equal Grape-Nuts, and that find there is almost no limit io the great benefit this food will bring when used in all cases oi sickness and convalescence
 Tt is my experience that nc physical conditions forbids the use of Grape Nuts. To persons in health there is nothing so nourishing ana acceptable to the stomach, es pecially at breakfast, to start tho maNinefy of the human system oa the days work

 that complete breakfast can bs made of Grape-Nuts and cream and I think it is not advisable to over load the stomach at the morninf meal. also know the great va'us Of Grape-Nts when the stomach i' too weak to diees'
