held by the interstate commerce com
mission yesterday as a principle that
"where there are two routes between
the same points over which different
rates apply a shipper who elects 20
ship his traffic via tn route carrying
the higher rate is not emitted to an
award of damages, merely because a
lower rate was in force, via the other
route"
This was laid down in the case of

Sante Fe railroad and others, the
commission declining to grant repara-
ton on the shipments of nursery

PRIMARY TO BE HELD
NOVEMBER 10 AT C0RDELE

Cordele, Oct. 29-The date of the
city primary for Cordele has been
named by the city executive committee
as November 10. With the announce
ment the candidates who are to parti-
cipate in the primary for the office of
mayor and aldermen have entered into
the campaign with renewed vigor. The
real fighting in the campaign centers
in the mayoralty race, as between w.
H. Doris, present incumbent of the
office, and Fred Harder. Neither Dor
ris or Harder have outlined plat
form to the public, each having de-
termined to run on his own man. -
VIII lie it is claimed by the political
friends of Mayor Doris that his
tight lid" record during his present
term of office is demonstration enough
of what his second would be, it is not
being attempted to use this as an issue
of the campaign.

CLAIMING
INDIANA
BY BIG VOTE
DEMOCRATS ARE OPTIMISTIC
Estimate Wilson's Majority
at 100000

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 29-Goy.
Woodrow Wilson will carry Indiana
by plurality of 100000 over Colonel
Roosevelt unless there is a vast
change in the situation during the
next few days. The tide has set in
towards him and is moving so rapidly
that practically all hopes of success
has been abandoned by Roosevelts
friends and managers.
There has been no thought of VIC
tory among the Pres dents followers in
Indiana for the past month. They have
realized that the best they could eX-
pect under the circumstances was sec
ond place so they are bending their en-
ergy in that direction. If the Demo-
Gratis didn't have a speaker on the
stump and if their newspapers were
not putting up a convincing fight
there would be no reason for them to
worry as the Republicans and the Pro-
gressives are literally hammering the
lif out of each other.
The Republicans have former Gov
ernor J. F. Hanly speaking twice a
day. He is a bitter foe of former
Senator Albert ]. Beveridge, Bull
Moose nominee for governor. He is
scoring Beverage in every speech and
is turning on the limelight in man
ner that is disconcerting to say the
least from the Beverage point of view

SHORTEN LETTERS
Eliminate the Dear Sir and "YOurs
 Respectfully" Is Suggested

From the New York Evening Sun.
 With that splendid efficiency which ever marks it's efforts, the war depart ment has issued orders to the effect that all unnecessary verbiage shall be omit all official letters shall be clipped of titles and such conventional courtesies as Respectfully yours.
 The reason for this reform Is laid at the door of expediency alone, and those irresponsible explain that thesomission of the forbidden words will save much needed time. But the world at large could copy the afiny's example with ad- vantage. and for quite another reason. How often have we seen letters writ ten by men who were in anything but courteous mood. breathing rage, re- sentiment, spleen and ire, and ending la the farcical declaration that the author was most respectfully the addressee'sf How frequently have we persued mes. sages which boiled down to some s'sHa absurdity as:
 Dear Sir: You are the scum of the earth. I hate the ground you walk on. Nobody but q yellow dog could respect you. Respectfully yours.
 'JoHN BROW" i
 If every man who has ever addressed an enemy as dear or assured one he despised that he was respectfully his, would make a solemn pledge to discon- tinue the practice there wouldn't be enough Dear ssrs" and Yours respect fully in the malls to need the services of ? cent scamp.

The Land of the Alias

A. J. Drexel Riddle, entertaining at luncheon at Landsdowne 2500 of the mem bers of ,he great Drexel Riddle Bible class. said to a reporter:
 This movement embraces some of the best people in our land; the vast major ity of our members are people of eminent responsibility. but at the same time there Is no down and-outer who we would re- ject.
 We in fact, would do for the down. and-outer' what Buenos Ayres does-and you know how many wrecks and crooks and criminals Buenos Ayres has made over.
 There's a travellers tale illustrative of this.
 "A young man got in a row in a fash ,onable Buenos Ayres club and was roughly elected. Rising from the mud, he rushed back into the club and shouted excitedly:
 "'Do ye know why they call me Jame- son here in Buenos Ayres?'
 "The club members looked at one an- other in puzzled fashion, and the young man continued: es4f

London, September 2S.--(Special)-An American peeress will be hostess to their najesties, the king and queen, next week. The Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe (nee May Goelet) will entertain King George and Queen Mary at Floors Castle. near Kelso, on the passing of the court from Balmoral to London. The king and duke, who are very great friends and both ardent anglers, will try for the salmon of the Tweed. The Floors waters arc famous for their fine fishing.
 Floors Castle stands in the midst of magnificent park at the junction of the Tweed and the Teviot. The house itself Is one of the most stately north or south ot the border It was begun by Vanbrugh and completed by Playfair- Both the waters and the surrounding sylvan scenery have been sung by many poets. Close by Is "Maxwielton's braes are bonnie' of Annie Laurie = and every hill and dale is marked by some historic or romantic recollection. Annie Laurie was the daughter of the Laird of Floors when young Fenton Doug las went to DunlSirk to write the song and got shot in the French wars. The Duchess is deeply interested in the Floors legends and knows them all by heart.
 The Prince of Wales goes to Magdalen college Oxford, a week hence. Elaborate preparations have been made for his royal highness' reception The rooms al- lotted to his use are on the inner side of the quadrangle and look out upon the deer park behind the college. He will have his private tutor and his own va let. As regards the use of his motor ear he will be subject 10 the rules laid down for Oxford men, one of which is that he will have to apply for special leave when desiring to motor to Windsor or any similar distance from the univer- sity It is now definitely announced that the prince will try and qualify as wet bob" on the Isis next summer.
 It is not generally realized that Mag dalen has in past centuries received with in it's cloistered walls two Princes of Wales. The first was Prince Arthur, the eldest son of Henry VII, whose untimely decease brought bluff King Hal to the throne. The second was Prince Henry, the heir of James I, who also died in early youth. and left the throne to his brother, Charles l.
 It is a little early as yet to say defi- nitely what titles will be bestowed upon the young Princes when they come of age. If present ideas materialize, it may be assumed that two of the most historic English dukedoms will be revived. The memory of Queen Victoria will obviously take precedence, and Prince Albert will become Duke of Kent. Even more inter- esting is the proposal to make Prince Henry Duke of Gloucester. With regard to Princes George and John, 1t Is practic- ally certain that one will Le given Scot tsh title, and the other an Irish title.

SHIP BARRIERS PROSPER
Some Tonsorial Artists on Liners
 Make $2000 a Year

From Answers, London.
 Quite the most lucrative employment for the knight of the razor is on board an ocean going liner. Recently court hairdresser said that he easily earned s2000 a year through his position as barber on a large passenger steamship.
 On these boats 25 cents is the usual charge for shave, hair cut or shampoo for the first and second class passen- gers. while half this is charged to travellers in the steerage or third class.
 The steamship companies generally engage the barbers at the nominal pay of 25 cents month, but on. the larg- est liners the barbers are asked to pay the companies $75 year to retain their posts. Tips and what they mak by thier work fully compensate them It is usually on the Atlantic services that the most money is to be made by ships barbers
 Besides their tonsorial efforts, barbers reckon to make bit by the sale of postcards, stationery, perfumes, etc Sometimes as much as $500 worth of stock of this nature will be carried on one trip by a head barber. <

TROUBLE WITH WIFE
 CAUSES ACCIDENTS Many Railroads Forming Campaigns to Lessen Ac-
 cidents to Employees

From the Railway Age Gazette.
 At the opening of the safety campaign on the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Day ton at Indianapolis MT. Egan of the Baltimore and Ohio. the principal speaker, emphasized the far reaching character of the investigations which have been made by the Baltimore and Ohio safety committee as follows:
 Domestic trouble is responsible for multitude of accidents among railway men. An unkind word is spoken in the morning. The husband goes to work with his domestic troubles on his mind. Thinking about his quarrels with his wife, he is apt to walk into places into he would not do if his mind were clear. The result is many accidents, many in juries. all preventable."
 Among the stereopticon views shown by MT Egan were pictures of how a man should part from his family in the morning. and 'how he should not" the latter being the picture of a vinegar faced wife evidently berating her hus- band
