WHAT IT ACCOMPLISHES
Through the courtesy of Mr H H
Fadon local manager for the West-
ern Union company the Herald has
had the pleasure of reading an Inter-
esting article on the great benefits
following in the wake of interurban
electric railways The article in ques-
tion Is published in the Troy 111
Weekly Call and has been prepared
at considerable pains Letters from
different sections of the country
where such roads have been built are
published and the universal verdict
is that the interurban railroad is a
country and town builder The Her-
ald would like to publish tho entire
article but has not the space to de-
vote to it Surely it will be admitted
that Anderson county very much
needs some such building influence
within Its borders There are in this
county thousands of acres of the fin-
est soli in the world uncultivated be-
cause It 1b so far removed from a
transportation center as to make any
of the diversified crops seemlngl >
unprofitable Truly we need quicker
and more transportation facilities
and the Interuiban lines bring this re-
lief
Palestine has already endorsed the
Idea by putting up her bonus The
proposition as it now effects us is
for the other people to come across
and make good and this they promise
to do
Texas sunshine will prevail despite
northern blizzards and all that
The Herald is booking new names
of people who want the telegraphic
news hot oil the bat
Palestine Is to have a new 10000
school building in the fourth ward
and 10000 in improvements made on
her other school houses which will
soon place the city In the front
ranks as an uptodate school town
Civic clubs are being organized in
various cities of Texas with the ex-
pressed task of seeing that such cities
are made clean and kept clean during
the coming summer This Is a laud-
able work and Palestine should get
In the push
Bell county is on with another pro-
hibition election The people out
there have been trying local option
for the past few years and It Is like-
ly they will keep on trying It for It
is very seldom that a town after
once doing away with saloons ever
invites them back again
Loves young dream was fully real-
ized In this city as In all the world
yesterday for Valentines came faster

The Atlanta Constitution takes an
Original view of the suffrage of the
state being put on a literacy basis
and in an editorial headed White
Boys Plowing Negro Boys in School
says the result of an amendment so
providing in the state of North Car
olina has been a rush of negroes to
the towns in order that the colored
youth may acquire sufficient educa-
tion to fit him for casting a ballot
that there is no help to be had on the
farms and the white boys are com-
pelled to do the plowing This plan
causes the Constitution to express a
fear that by thus robbing many an
ambitious white boy of an education
and educating the negroes to read
write and expound the constitution
will result ultimately in negro domi-
nation There may be something In
it but it is a long way off Negro
domination will never be permitted

Says Mayfield
Answer
The railroad commission this
morning promulgated its new lumber
tariff It is a general readjustment of
rates with a number of reductions
and a few instances of slight advance
In the rate The maximum is reduced
from 18 34 to 17 12 cents
Commissioner Colquitt is very
wrathy oyer the action of the major-
ity of the commission in refusing to
accept his proposition for a radical
reduction of the rates His published
tirade against his two associates on
the commission has caused a sensa-
tion in state official circles
Commissioner Mayfield when asked
this morning what he thought of Mr
Colquitts published interview re-
plied It is an insult and too con-
temptible to answer

The Town Topics Exposure
The trial of Norman Hapgood editor
of Colliers Weekly at New York on the
libel charge brought by Justice Deuel
of tho special sessions court has re-
sulted In laying bare the amazing meth-
ods by which Editor Mann of Town
Topics and his coterie for years past
have played successfully upon the vani-
ties and fears of wealthy men whose
families belong to the so called smart
set using society gossip In the columns
of his paper as a holdup weapon All
this was brought
out by counsel
for the defend-
ant through ad-
missions of Col-
onel Mann and
Justice Deuel on
cross examina-
tion and later

timony of per-

gating nearly 200000 from rich men

SKEES ON MOTORS
Device to Aid Aeronaut
Far Vortu Pole
It may be that tbe automobile and
the airship will form a combination
that will successfully accomplish the
discovery of the north pole says the
New York American
The airship feature of the Automo-
bile Club of America show In New
York has brought this proposition into
prominence and the other day at the
new Sixtyninth regiment armory
where the stray odds and ends that lit-
tered up the opening were being clear-
ed away It was learned that only the
day before au arrangement had been
made with a well known manufacturer
for the Immediate construction of sev-
eral motor skees that will be used in
the forthcoming attempt of SautosDu
mont and Walter Wellman to conquer
the frozen fields of the arctic
These motor skees will be substituted
for the Eskimo dogs usually employed
for hauling the sledges containing sup-
plies and in the matter of speed the
expedition should reach Spltzenbergeu
much earlier than would be the case
with canine power It Is at Spitzenber
gen that the daring aeronauts will take
to the air while the motor skee division
of the expedition will continue as far
as practicable and then await the re-
turn of the aerial navigators
The motor skees are to be single wheel
rear driven the wheel to have a broad
face of some eighteen Inches width to
offer resistance on the soft snow and
the face of the wheel is to be studded
with steel points to have tractive qual
ities on the ice The front wheels will
be replaced by the Norwegian skee
The problem presented is a most diffi-
cult one owing to the extreme cold
Alcohol freezes at 42 degrees below
zero and the engineers and chemists
are consequently called upon to find a
fuel which will be suited to the climate
of the fur north Inasmuch as the air-
ship will Itseir be provided with a mo-
tor for navigation the automobile en-
gineers and those of the airship will
cooperate In the quest for this new
fuel Of course the motor skees will be
of the air cooled type A Connecticut
firm has the contract
