Triton is LOOKING IN
CHARGES OF COMPANY
Where Her Board Of Trade
Helps City

Triton, Ga, Feb. 1.-The investiga-
ions conducted by the Triton Chamb n
Of Commerce in the matter of alleged
over-charges by the Southern Express
Company, covering a period Of several
years, although as yet not completed,
show considerable alleged losses, es-
timated at $500 to $4,000 year for
five years.
This" the Chamber investigators
says, applies to the matter of dis
lance within the state upon which
intra-state rates are based.
For instance; The express COM
pany collects expressage from Atlante
on the basis Of $50 miles, when the
distance is under 1876 miles ii collects
on the basis of 1870 miles from Macon
when the distance is under lO5 miles.
This erroneous basing is equivalent
to an oyercharge of from > ID to 80
per cent, according to the originating
point In addition to this showing, eX-
pcrse bills have been and are being
produced which show over-charges n
excess OF the first named from 10 TO
100 per cent.
Moreover, cases are being brought

Her Woes
TO gem
Big Diamond Is Always a
HOOdOO
Pre- iy May YOhG Is Glad to Get Rid
Of Magnificent Diamond Which Has
Brought to Her Nothing Except
Trouble.

New York, Feb 4-The famous
Hope diamond that has belonged to
SO many eminent persons at the mo-
menr ill-luck befell them is a hoo
doc Of this May Yohe, former wife
of Lord Francis Hope and the central
figure in several eyentful marriages,
is convinced. She wore the diamond
for many years, and lays all of her
troubles to it.
She is glad she no longer possesses
it and she now warns Mrs. Evelyn
Walsh Mclean, to whom the gem was
given by her husband, Edward b. Nc
Lean, to dispose of it. The actress
prophesies evil. for the possessor of
the jewel
The actress attributed an uncanny
quality to the gem. She described it
as having had wonderful fascination
like that of a snake that held and yet
terrified her. As it glstened in the
light it had stirred her with impulses
OF evil, and this quality of the gem
she attributed to her desertion Of Lord
Hope, and her elopement with Capt.
Putnam Bradley Strong.
That diamond is responsible for
every one of my troubles, | am sure,
she said q can trace every impulse
that has worked out for the worst 10
moments when the Hope diamond ap-
Iparently had forced itself into my re-
Elections.
'As Lady Francis Hope l always had
an aversion to the stone, and it was
only on those occasions that could
overcome this feeling and wear it in
public.
While wearing the stone | was in
an ecstasy of terror, and when / re-
moved it to be returned to the vault
of Lord Hopes bankers / fell into
spells of dizziness that could not ex-
plain Legends of old India, whence
the stone had come, have come into
my mind to account for this.
The night before | ran away from

ing facets reflected waves of light that
seemed to beckon me to Strong and

home. Lord Hope was an angel-Capt.

The hoodoo gem was unearthed IN

HEREDITARY BLOOD POISON

Scrofula is a disease manifested
usually by a swelling and liberation
of the glands, especially about the
neck. 1t is almost entirely hereditary
in its origin, being the dregs or re-
mains Of some specific blood poison.
Where the blood is greatly weakened
with the scrofulous poison, the disease
attacks other portions Of the System
besides the glands, and then we see its
effects in weak eyes, poorly developed
bodies, running sores and ulcers, SKIN
diseases, especially On the scalp, ca
tarrhal troubles, etc. Scroiula usually
makes its appearance in childhood,
though manhood or womanhood may
be reached before the poison pro-
crosses to the stage Of outward mani
festation. S. S. s. is the one real cure
for Scrofula. Il is a blood purifier
without an equal, and it cures this
destructive blood poison by removing
every trace Of the infection from the
circulation. SIS. S., in addition to

THE SURREY
CUTOFF IS
TO BE BUILT

During a conversation with ]. J..
Hill Of the Great Northern day or
two ago, S. G. Comstock Of Moor
head says. that the veteran railroad
magnate told him that work on the
Fargo Surrey cutoff will be resumed
in very little while and that the line
will be completed this year.
This should be good news to the peo-
pie OF Fargo and Moorhead in the face
of what has been printed about the
contemplated cessation Of all railroad
extensions this year.
Mr.. Comstock says he was given to
understand that the through freight
traffic will continue to run by way OF
Casselton for a time, even after the
Surrey cut of is built This is due to
the fact that the Casselton route has a
lower grade, the grade on this line
being per cent while by the Fargo
Surrey route there is a per cent grade.
AS the distance by this route is short
err this grade will be reduced as soon
as the company can get around to
it, and this route will ultimately be
the coast route for both passenger
and freight business.

ANXIOUS
TO BEGIN SEEDING

A large number of farmers were in
the city today and many OF them said
they would much rather have mounted
their drills and gone to work seed-
ing, but after the moisture, in the
shape of light snowfalls, at intervals
during the last few days the ground
was a little too wet. But for the lit
tie precipitation Yesterday afternoon,
the ground would have been in excel
lent shape for work today.
The general report Is that the re
cent moisture has gone down deep,
and IL nice sunny weather remains for
a few days thousands of drills will be
at work all over Clay county by next
Tuesday.
w. ]. Bodkin says conditions could
hardly be better. The nature Of the
recent moisture was the kind often
says his men were hauling manure
yesterday and they found splendid
conditions, rather wet, but the surface
will soon be in shape for the seeders
The recent wettings, the farmers
say, have wrought wonders over pas
ture and hay lands, which more than
anything were in need Of immediate
moisture, especially after the very dry
conditions last fall. The light SHOWS
this week have remedied matters and
there will be now plenty of green
grass for the stock to Craze upon in
a very short time. This is considered
very important and before the recent
moisture farmers were generally con-
cerned about pasture conditions, but
now the anxiety is wholly removed.
