THE FIGHT ON THE RAILROADS.
The people are running amuck on the ]
* railroad question*. In North Carolina
the railroads have agreed to submit to
the two and a quarter cents a mile rate,
to sell tickets at that price, and mean
while they appeal on the ground that
the rate is confiscatory. We do not

ADVERTISER can afford to sell adver

an act limiting Tin: ADVERTISER to j
a two and a quarter cents PO inch rate,
they can take the paper and run it
themselves. If it is reasonable and
fair to cut down the price of hauling
pcoplo one third, it is cqunlly reasona

down the price for hauling freight one!
third. If they can cut it one third,
they can cut it one half and two thirds
and after awhile the railroad owners I
will say "Take the old nusiance of a
railroad and run it your selves.
Meantime, reduction in railroad pas
senger fares helps only a part of the
people. It helps the drummer who
spends .$500. a year for railroad tickets.
Ithelps the manufacturer who spends
$500. a year for tickets. It helps the
well-to-do man who spends $200. a year
sending his family to the mountains or
to the seashore for the summer and who
sends his boys and girls to college. It
helps the lawyers who go to the sur
prcme court three or four times a year
and it helps the merchants who go to
New York for goods twice a year" Half
the people spend not over five or ten
dollars a year in railroad riding and
nearly half, the poorer women and
children scattered about on the
country farms, don't ride on the rail
roads at all. Reduction in passenger ]
fares may save a cotton mill operative
two dollars a year but it will save the
cotton mill president $200. dollars
year. Isn't that so?
Why don't the legislature cut down
the railroad rates OU Missun mules?
The Laurens farmers are more interes
ted in buying a mule ticket for ten dol
lars instead of fifteen than in buying
cheap tickets for themselves The
Laurens farmer and mill operative and ]
and everybody else pays freight on hog,
hominy, colfee, calico, fertilizer fnrni
ture, nails, hoes, clothes, shoes, books,
grits, rice, horse collars, wagons, Hour j
" and nearly all he uses. A cut of one
third in freight rates would help every
body, that would be "special privileges
to none" and equal assistance to the
balance of mankind, but the cut in pas
senger fares, to which the politicians
are devoting all their time, will help t he
drummer most and will be of considera
ble comfort to the preachers, especially
the colored preachers who are the
greatest travelers that this country
produces.

When ColllosU^ed a Race.
Chief of Police Collins is not a gamb
ling man, but he admits having once
played the ponies. It was years ago,
says the Chicago Tribune. This is the
story:
"I didn't know one horse from an
other, but I heard the men in the de
partment telling about the money they
had won. If they lost a bet they nev
er mentioned it. One day, during a
meeting at the Robcy track, a 'copper,
at Harrison told mo he was going to
put $5 on a 'good thing,' as he called
it. I said to him in a joke: 'Why don't
you play Stayaway? That's the best
horse out there to-day.'
"The meaning I wish to convey was
that if he stayed away from the track
he would be winner. He was a dense
sort of feilew, and didn't catch the
quiet sarcasm,
"So out he goes to Robey, and, re
membering my tip to ply 'Stayaway,'
he looks the card and sees a horse
named 'Getaway' in the third race.
He was 8 to I for first place. The
'copper,' thinking he had got the names
mixed, laid his $5 on 'Getaway,' who
came under the wire about a block
ahead of the others.
"When ho returned to the station
he handed me a $20 bill with the re
mark: 'I played that horse you gave
me, lieutenant, and won $40. This is
your half of it."

Where He'd be safe.
A lawyer was talking about the late
Samuel C. T. Dodd, the Standard oil
lawyer, whose salary from the great
corporation was $200,000 a year.
"Mr. Dodd," said the lawyer, "had
an excellent legal talent. He it was,
you know, who oaganized the Standard
Oil trust. What further endeared him
to Mr. Rockefeller were his strict
views on the observance of the Sab
bath.
"They tell a story about Dodd when
he was a struggling practitioner in
Franklin.
"There was a Franklin minister who
went gunning a good deal, and altogeth
er was rather a sporting character.
"At a little church supper one night
the minister wns boasting about his
knowledge of horses and hunting, his
marksmanship and so on, when Dodd
interrupted him.
"You're a good sportsman, are you?'
he said.
"'Well,' said the minister, not sus
pecting any trap, 'I am not a bad
sportsman, if I do say it myself.'
" 'Yet,' said Dodd, 'If I were a bird,
I could hide where there,d be no dan
ger of your potting me.'
" 'Where would you hide?' asked the
minister.
" 'I'd hide.' Dodd answered, 'in your
study!" ? Washington Star.

W
PEARY'S EASTTMSH.
'ill Mrke This Summer s Attempt the
Most Daring of All.
Frederick Boyd Stevenson, in Harper's j
Weekly.
Will he make it?
I asked him this question the pthpff
day. He turned in his chair and looked
at me. The muscles of his face hu'f re
laxed. Peary seldom smiles.
"I hope to make It," -he said, Quietly.
"This will be my last attempt . I be
lieve it will be successful."
Despite the softness of his voice one
felt the conviction of the conquest. He
gave no promise, no hint of the break
ing of the far north record in 1900, when
he advanced within 2?? miles of the goal..
There was no boasting of past achieve
ment; no speculating on future glories.
Peary is perhaps better qualified than
any other In this uqest of the pole. He j
began it20 years ago, and on each of
the seven journeys he has made to the
arctic zone he has been pushing farther
and farther north. In Iiis heart is the
confidence of success on this eighth
journey.
"The beginning and the end of a polar
expedition may be expressed in one I
word," said the commander. "That is]
food. It is not the cold, it is not the
exposure, but the failure of supplies
that wrecks the enterprise. Three
things are actually needed for food
the north: pemmican?a dried meat
that can be made into soup- ship-biscuit
and tea. Tea is a stimulant, soono can
get along without that; ship-biscuits
are a luxury, so one can get along with
out them; but pemmican is a necessity
tiiat one must have in the arctic re
gion."
But a man who confesses to have
eaten raw dog with a relish may not
be generally considered as a purveyor
of templing menus.
"Dog meal?" Perhaps repealed.
Why, one who can eat hog meat or
craves the delicacy of Limburger clu e.-"1
can have nothing to say against dog.
To be sure, the hind leg of an over
worked dog is a liltle tough and rank
sometimes, but a man who has eaten
mutton stew in a cheap restaurant can
not complain, nor is he apt lo com
plain when the gnawing of his appetite
attacks him with the temperature 70
degrese below zero. The dogs readily
eat their comrades when they fall by
the way, and this, to a great extent,
solves the problem of feeding the ani
mals. I have considered the question
of taking dog-biscuit with me on my
dash to the pole; but while the Siberian
dogs will eat it, the dogs which 1 use
on my expeditions?practically all wolf
will eat nothing but meat."
"How about alcoholic drinks?" 1
asked.
The answer came concisely:
"No man can drink alcoholic liquor
who goes to the north. It would mean
death to the man and a menace to the
expedit Ion.''
"And smoking?"
"The man who is dependent on his
cigar or pipe might better remain at
home. Why, 1 should as soon think of
taking a man who had to have a piece
of pie ever so often. The personnel
of your men is the first consideration.
Upon them depends everything. In the
first place they must be of cheerful
temperament and not subject to lits of
the blues, and every man must under
stand in advance that he must meet
the greatest hardships and self-deni
als. He must be willing to suffer cold
and hunger, to forego sleep?in a word,
to be ready to sacriliice his life, if need
be, for the success of the undertaking."
"Have you found such men?"
He nodded.
"Yes; for the most part they are the
same men who went with me before.
I can trust every one of them under
every circumstance."
Peary has been so long in the arctic
game that the question of dress for the
north has ceased to concern him. While
on his sledge trips he sleeps in the
open air and on the ice in a sleeping
bag of fur, clad only in an undershirt.
When he arises he hastily pulls on a pair ;
of drawers which have frozen during
the night. His trousers and socks are
Idled with snow, but he puts them on
undaunted, and quickly thrusting bis
feet into a pair of kamiks, or shoes,
als?) filled with snow and ice, and pulling
on a big fur overcoat, he is ready for
his day,S journey.
"One docs not mind the cold In the
north," said he. "Temperature ranges
from 50 above to 75 below zero, and if
a man takes care of himself he need
suffer no inconvenience on account of
the weather. There is really no danger
of freezing to death in the arctic zone."
Neighbors Got Pooled.
"I was literally coughing myself to
death, and had become too weak to
leave my bed; and neighbors predicted
that 1 would never leave it alive; but
they got fooled, for thanks be to God,
I was induced to try Or, King's New
Discovery. It took just four one dollar
bottles to completely cure the cough
and restore me to good sound health,"

OF IT8 MARKING.

tJcriiiiin Commemorative Cakca.
Who would think of the pretzel ns an
astronomical symbol or tho hot cross
bun as a missionary document? Yet It
Is said that originally the ono was In
tended to represent tho sun and the
four seasons and the other to convert
pagan England to Christianity. The
former Is declared to have been first
made by tho Kornaus, who called It
the annulus?a word they ore said to
have formed out of anuus, a year?by
which they meant a year ring. The ring
represented the sun's annual circuit
and the four spokes tho Bcasons. It
was afterward known under other
names In the more northerly countries
of Europe. There aro two stories of
tho origin of the hot cross bun. Tho
Christian missionaries to England aro
said to have discovered that, although
they could alter tho views of the peo
ple on religious matters, taey could not
Induce them to abandon their time
honored pagan customs. Ono of these
was tho eating of a certain kind of
cake in honor of tho (Joddess of
Sining. They decided to put the sign
of the cross on tho Bason buna and
launch them forth on a missionary en
terprise The buns accomplished their
mission.
The other story Is that In early times
In the observance of holy week the
church was more strict In the matter
of fasts Hum now. Only n certain
amount of food could he eaten. This
was indicated by two boundary marks
made In the dough to show tho length
and width of the piece. The loaves
wore sold In churches and wero car
ried from plaee to place by pilgrims.
So the custom of crossing tho bread
used on Good Friday became fixed.
Tticso aro not tho only kinds of
Shapes of bread whose origin has been
traced to odd circumstances. The cres
cent shaped rolls which ono sees In
some parts of the city had a curious
birth. On one of tho occasions when
tho Turks besieged Vienna, Peter
Windier and his wife had a bakery in
Hint city. This baker's patriotism was
tinctured with a sense of humor and
possibly a souse of business. At any
rate, he conceived the Idea of making
rolls in the shape of a crescent, the
emblem of the Turks. They found a
ready sale, for everyhody wanted to
devour tho half moons typifying tho
Mohammedans at the outer gate.
Germany Is the home of commemora
tive cakes and bread. Other countries,
while having as many varieties, have
not woven sentiment about them to
tho same extent.
A great many Americans would not
know what schwaanerkuchen Is unless
they asked n native of the old German
City of Rostock. It Is to bo had only
at a certain season of the year because
it commemorates a kindly act of many
years ago. Rostock was surrounded by
an enemy. The city gates wero closed,
and the enemy had come close to tho
walls, w*Uh clubs, spears, heavy mortar
slings and many other old time Imple
ments of war. Once and again and
again they rushed upon the walls with
thunderous noiso and clanging weap
ons, but the brave burghers as often
forced them back. Thon, urged for
ward by threatening famine, tho latter
sallied beyond the gates and drove
back (1)0 foe until the siege was raised.
it was with groat Joy that they saw
the bakers of Scft'waan, a village
twelve miles down the river Warnow,
at the gate as the enemy drew away,
bearing heavily laden baskets of cakes.
It was such a godsend to the famished
burghers that they rownrded tho
Schwaanor bakers by giving them the
privilege of coming to Rostock every
year oil Maundy Thursday to offer
their cakes for sale. For many years
this custom prevailed, to the profit of
the bakers from tho neighboring town.
In time, however, the bakers of Ros
tock, showing ingratitude, some might
think, baked the schwaanerkuchen
themselves. To this very day every
body in Rostock eats schwaanerkuchen
in holy week.
Another German bread, which in
shape resembles a Capital W, owes
its existence to tho siege of the Ger
man town of Krallsholm In 1.170. It is
called haar ?ffen, or hair monkeys, a
name suggested by the appearance of
the apparition which raised the siege.
The efforts of the besiegers to take the
place had been in vain. They decided
to starve the burghers and their fami
lies. So they sat down before tho
town. There they sat for seven months.
By this lime the provisions were get
ting short, and starvation seemed In
evitable. One woman had pondered
long upon the subject, and finally
she said to tho head of tho defenders:
"The people outside the WJ*H aro su
perstitious. Let mo mnsquorndo at
night before them on the city wall In a
peculiar dress." she was permitted to
carry out her plan. When her fantastic
flguro was seen upon the wall In the
dim light, Hitting from point to point,
climbing nimbly over obstacles, taey
were horror stricken.
"Haar nffol" they exclaimed, point
ing at the apparition on tho wall. "It
Is an evil spirit." The following night
they tied from the town.
In remembrance of the success of
the ruse this peculiar shaped cake was
made. For nioro than 500 years the
authorities of tho elty havo celebrated
the anniversary by distributing largo
quantities of theso cakes among tho
I.r and the children of the city.?

"La Dornlere Chemise de 1'Amour" for
