 When the wrecling crew got to the place and began to work it was discov- cred that the car on which the engine was standing was not badly damaged. The engine of the freight train was cleared away, and the flat car, carrying the switch engine, was hauled to sid ing, where the work of putting the loco motive on the tracks was accomplished without much trouble."

IS NOT IN TOUGH
 WITH REAL PEOPLE

London, September 24.-(Special. IA of the Bloomfortein Post complains to that paper that Lord Glad stone does not visit the various states of South Africa enough to suit the people. He writes:
 I submit that the governor-general is falling short of his duty. In Pretoria and Johannesburg he is surrounded by the worst possible influences in South Africa, influences which require to be leavened by visits to other parts of this vast coun- try. What is Lord Gladstone doing at Pretoria? I may be wrong, but am credibly informed that he has adopted a. most exclusive attitude and that he Is not getting into real touch with the peo- pie of the country.
 He is not. following the wise footsteps of Lord Selborne, who was only governor of the Transvaal Gas well as high com missioner). Lord Selborne was ultimately acquainted with the needs and aspira- tions of the whole of South Africa. but it appears to me that comfortably settled at Pretoria, Lord Gladstone has no desire to shift I suppose that Natal and the Cape and this state contributed to his lordship's salary, and have he right to see him occasionally.
 quite recognize that his excellency's time must have been pretty fully occu- pied in the first weeks of his arrival in South Africa, but things are now on more settled basis. Just three months have elapsed since his arrival and we outside the Transvaal cannot help begin ming to regard his exeellency with about as much lively interest as we do-say, an union parliament of South Africa by the Duke of Cannaught.
 Sir Richard Solomon. high commissioner of South Africa, will leave England on October 8, to attend the opening of the English home secretary

Easy Enough to Stop the Fall ing and Make It Grow Abun- dantly

If your hair is getting thinner and thiner every year and causing you anx- iety, you ought to read this article twice and learn more about PARISIAN SAGE, the hair grower, that surely does grow hair.
 Parisian Sage is guaranteed by Nor toms drug store to stop your hair from falling out, or money back-if you use 1t. It will surely make the hair grow profusely if used regularly.
 Hair falls out and stops growing in because the hair root does not receive proper nourishment. If the nourish- ment entirely ceases for any length of time the hair root will die and bald ness will follow.
 It's the dandruff germs that steal from the hair root the nourishment that nature supplies it.
 Parisian Sage soaks Into the scalp nenetrates into the hair root and not only destroys the dandruff germs, but furnishes to the famished root just the

l The bigness of Texas is evident from a cursory examination of the map. But its effect upon the people of that state is not generally known.

'Tom Watson continues to stir the Georgia political pot and refuses to per init the state to compose itself after the recent heated campaign says G. Y Bond of Macon. Ga.
 Watson. who once was in Congress and who later ran for President on the populst platform, says he is going to force out an independent in an attempt to defeat Hoke Smith, regardless of the fact that the latter was nominated in the Georgia primaries. Watson also is after the political scalp of Representative Hardwick, of the Tenth district. He promises an independent who will fight Hardwick In the general election, al- though the latter won hands down in the Thomas F. still has consider able folowin Georgia, despite his
 off-ag' in-on-a tendencies. Recently he enrolled under the democratic ban-- ner, but is now inclined to kick over the traces on account of the nomination of H oke Smith and Hardwick. Watson, a few years ago, was supporting both of these men.
 "So determined is Thomas E. to bring about the defeat of Smith and Hardwick that he endeayored to persuade Little Joe Brown. the present governor. to run Independently against Hoke Smith after the voters in the primary had sig nified their desire to exchange Brown for Smith. Governor Brown, however, has declined to listen to Watson's siren voice of hope, and insists upon being regular and standing by the primary. Ditto Browns campaign manager, whom Wat son also endeavored to persuade.
 Georgia is torn by factionalism-every one is a Hoke Smith man or Joe Brown man-but since Hoke won out in the primaries, after being defeated by Little Joe two years ago. the average democrat is going to abide by the voice of the people.
 Nevertheless. Tom Watson is creating quite a stir and is giving the folk some thing to talk about in the dull season. Nobody anticipates, however, that oppo- sition to Smith or Hardwick in the Mo-. vember election can accomplish anything since the primaries have spoken"

By JONATHAN WINFIELD

Washington, September 24.-(Special)- One of the greatest problems with which the present administration has had to deal is the rate making question now agitating every industrial and financial center of the United States. Millions of dollars .are at stake and the great race between the people and the corporate railway interests of the country IS on Whether the people will be suceesstul or these alleged "predatory interests will be determined within short space or a few months. The deciding judge Is the Interstate Commerce Commission com posed of Martin A. Knapp, chairman and associate commissioner; Judson c. Clem- ent of Georgia, Charles A. Prouty of Yer mont; Francis M. Cockrell of Missouri; Franklin K. Lane of California, Edgar F. Clark of Iowa, and James s. Harlan of Illinois.
 The controversy started in different sections of the United States more than year and a half ago when Pacific rail roads notified the Interstate Commission that they were about to increase their freight traffic rates. From that time un- til June 25 railroads all over the country to meet additional expenses sought to bolster up their dividends by increasing rates anywhere from per cent to 50 per cent Protests and complaints by the thousands were filed with the commits sion. Attorney General Wickersham was interviewed by the committees of various chambers of commerce and representa- lives of shipping concerns until hnaliy the matter was taken up and brought to a partically successful conclusion by President Taft who staved off the evil day by suggesting a complete hearing of the subject.

Those hearings are now being held in various large railway sections of the country, and contemplate the complete investigation in the real need of an in- crease of rates as well as the valuations of the roads. The new railroad law re- gently passed by Congress has authorized the commission to handle the various phases of the rate making question and. in consequence it will deal with matters of more vital interests to the country as measured by monetary standard than ever has been involved in any section to which the government was a party.
 Special agents have been dispatched to the headquarters of the various railroads. These examiners, who will be in effect masters of chancery. will demand and receive information touching upon sta- tistical affairs of the roads. This infor- nation will be compiled and laid before the commission The legal representa- lives of the roads will be granted hear ings later before the full commission at Washington. For the purpose of expe- diting the work the cases have been grouped as much as possible and the commission when 1t will finally deter mine upon the rates to be put into eff feet, will take territory into considera- ton rather than individual lines of rail roads.

Friends of Maj. Blanton Winship, United states army, who entered the army after the Spanish war from Geor- gia regiment and who is now attached to headquarters staff at Governors isl- and, are urging him to claim rebate from Uncle Sam. He recently returned from trip to Europe. The customs inspector taxed him $77.4S on wearing ap- parel he had purchased abroad and which had been used.
 Major Winship cheerfully paid the as- sessment, and when some friends in- sisted that the appraisement had been exorbitant and that he should have been allowed much more for wear he refused to interpose an objection, saying he was willing to take his medicine.
 When next I go to Europe I won't buy thing but railroad tickets and pay ho- tel bils." he said to one of his friends.

George M Bailey, head of the editorial staff of the Houston Post, was in the city recently.
 Asked what his section of the south thought of President Taft, he said:
 'tThe feeling toward him in Texas Is friendly-decidedly friendly. He is ad- mired greatly, and the little criticism one hears ofs his administration is largely confined to disgruntled republicans. The people have confidepce in his ability and high aims, and certainly wish him well.
 Texas. however. is9looking forward confidently now to the election of a democratic President in 1912, and will do her part fully. as always heretofore. The state is thoroughly democratic. In my opinion, the talk one hears that Roose- welt, if nominated again, will split the south Is mere twadde He would not endanger democratic success in any southern state. His popularity is not growing, although his picturesque per sonality commands constant attention.
 Material conditions were never bet ter or more promising in Texas. The census will show the wonderful stride the state has made. In urban and rural in crease Texas will be surpassed only by the new state of Oklahoma. Houston s future seems to me brighter than that of any other of our large cities, though all are in splendid growth.

He has been of the bench now fof
nearly two years.
It is expected that the retirement

washington, June 2O.-The dry dock
Dewey, which recently sank at
Olongapo, will be afloat again some
time this week, the wreckers, accord
ing to reports to the navy department,
having made excellent progress In
their work.
The reason for the sinking OF the
big dry dock has not yet been dis
covered. The suggestion has been
made, based on recent report that
a hole has been found in the side OF
the dock, that the Dewey may be prac-
tically rusted away, although 1t has
been but four years in tropical waters.
Another suggestion is that the hole
was caused by purely local corroslon
owing to electrolysis. which, Of course
would minimize the damage.
The strategists Of the navy depart
ment are dismayed at the thought that
the Dewey, the only dry dock avail
able for American use In time OF war
in the Far East, may be useless.
