The incorporation or a traction company in Nashville with the ob ject of building an interurban trol- ?y ime irom mat cuy 10 seveidi owns in southern Kentucky leads the Courier-Journal to remark that elec- i "ric railway mileage is growing" rap-; dly in the United States.. "A notable feature of these enter prises i,5 that nearly all of them are profitable and; that comparatively ew have been involved in financial troubles. In numerous instances they arallel steam railway lines, but they have been able to build up a remun erative traffic." i The fact is the interurban trolley line renders a particular kind of ser vice which the railroad, often finds difficult,, if. not .impossible, to per form. It develops tratdc peculiarly its own and upbuilds a field of interest -vfcich otherwise would lie neglected. There are territories which afford equally substantial returns to steam and electric carriers, just- as a. city supports both cabs and street cars. Such lines, when prudently pro-n-ioted, appeal to farsighted investors and, certainly, they contribute a great deal to the upbuilding of the coun try they traverse. The value, of farm lands adjacent to a well- conducted electric line eteadily increases. Town und villages along the way take on new business life and fresh attraction to She homeseeker. Social and educational as well as commercial interests are quickened; and the ter minal city profits greatly from its closer and wider touch with neighbor ing communities. Manv reerinns hf the South offer particularly fertile opportunity for in iprnrhan trnllev linns. It may be expected that the next " few decades will hring numerous enterprises ot this character tand those that are projected with due knowledge and rare will undoubtedly thrive witn : he South' s developing resources.

For some time it has been intima ted that there were a number of trav eling gamblers, not down-and-outs, but, fellovrs who are waxing fat. at other people's expense, who were mak ing Salisbury at stated intervals and that these fellows had feelers or con federates wha are located here and who occasionally make another point with som? of the bunch and who give every assistance and participate either by playing or through schemes in the ame3 in this city. This belief is strengthened by the following taken from this morning's Greensboro News, and indicates that Salisbury is . one of the points in the itinerary between Lynchb rg and . Charlotte: There is a well organized Dana 01 gamblers for" big game operating be tween certain North Carolina and Vir ginia cities who have their clubs, their dope and their runners and a perfect understanding among them, according to information indirectly furnished The Daily News. It is said these gam blers have been operating for several months Dast and so shrew I are their maneuvers and so well laid their Dlans that it is almost impossible to get evidence necessary to convict. ThPir rmUfis or tneir territory, i s said to be included letween Lynch burg Roanoke, Danville, Greensboro and Charlotte, and possibly up to tne Asheville line, -and along the coast to Wilmington. From the nature of the suggested information it .would seem that in the towns they operate in they havp. members, and ' iat these mem bers keep thoroughly posted and that fwnEinnnllv thev find some one who in rftdv for a game, take him off with them and through divers means get his money at a "little" game of poker. hlers art? said to follow fhoir rnntfis in somewhat of a system maatinr with local members' and UiffW0 " "framing up" for some one who has hoon .Knotted.

During their conversation it develops that this well off person is ,in one of his moods, and an invitation is ex tended to take a trip to a certain) town Lynchburg for instance where the alleged friends says he knows several friends. It is ascertained that $25 or $30 will be enough for the trip and back and board and a few drinks. They arrive at their destination and take a stroll down the street. The friend issues an invitation to go to the club. "The club?" Well, its a quiet place of recreation and rest, so they go. .. Within, seated at a table, they find couple of men in a quiet game of cards. The friend decides to join and the well-off. man instead prefers a drink. At the buffet he is served, and when a feeling of unusual grogginess comes, a slightly tired feeling, he takes a hand in the game and invests some of the traveling money, which eventually goes hither. He is informed by his friend that across the street a check can be cash ed with the friend's recommendation and a few hundred are secured. These, too, go the way of the smaller amount and the mind is still somewhat heavy. Another check for a few more hun dred is cashed and the total amount goes toward the $1,000 mark, all of which somehow finds its way put of the hands of the well off man. Then they quit and go off to the ho tel to bed. To cut short what might be made a longer story it is later learned that before the well-off man and the alleg ed friend started on the trip the latter evidently, had wired someone to the effect that he had a good one that they would arrive at a certain, time, and that everything should , be ready This, as an illustrative case,, is said to be tne modus operandi of one . of the best organized crowds of men to be found.

Jan. 24. Desnit nffinioi nt. tc ranees to reassure the public, Japan is declared in other quarters to be suf fering from an .economic depression. In the northeastern section a famine has made the situation particularly acute. ..In some cases schools have had to close because there was no money to pay the teachers and because the children, weak from lack of food, were unable to attend. The Hokkaido government has asked the central gov ernment has asked the central govern ment to advance $15,000,000 for relief funds. ' . " The chief cause of the general de pression; which began about the time of the death of Emperor Mutsuhhitn. a the heavy taxation of the people wliich is necessary to pay the interest on the national debt of over a "billion dollars. The wave of elation among the peo ple at the close of the victorious war with Russia and a patriotic business boom also caused a general rise in the standard of living and the price " of commodities soared as a result of the more luxurious level of expenditure. Then came" reaction. This was due to the burden of extraordinary taxes to meet the war debt and constant ex penditures in-the building up of a big army and navy. The government, however, is attack ing the problem heroically by making heavy retrenchments. Much to the dissatisfaction of the army, it has been decided to abandon for the pres ent, at least, the long-standing proposal to create two more military divi sions. :. . .x Barcn Takahashi,' thcminister of finance, promises a reduction of taxes to lighten theburdens of the people. He will endeavor to continue the prac tice of redee ming the national debt by d,uvu,uuu yeany. He looks forward also to an increase in the amount of capital invested in the establishment or expansion of banking and indus trial enterprises. Costly harbor im provements may be delayed but the au thorities are actively planning to build a new waterworks system in the city of Tokio and construct a sewage system of which the metropolis stands badly in need in the interest of public health. For these improvements loans will probably soon be sought in Europe. But it is by increasing her export trade that Japan hopes to find real re lief. Continuous order in China, where revolution upset the market for Japa nese goods, and the opening of the Panama Canal are greatly desired as furnishing means for augmenting the exports and thereby reducing the bal ance of trade? which now standa against Japan. . .

At a recent reunion upon the anniversary of the party's return after a four-months' stay in America, resolutions were adopted asking riends in America' to 'assist in further ing the traditional friendship between Japan and the United States. It was decided that members of the party should send personal .letters "to their American acquaintances seeking their aid in this cause. This is but one of the many indica tions of Japan's earnest desire to be understood by the United States as a flrstclass power and to bring an end to the movements in the United States which hit the Japanese. . It would be a mistake, however, to believe that Japan intends to drop the California land question. On the con trary, there is every indication that she will stick tenaciously to her orig inal position. This point of view was voiced by Buci Nakano, president of the Tokio chamber of commerce while welcoming a party of Japanese tourists from Sacramento. He said it was a source of deep regret that the land question remained unsettled, despite the united and assiduous efforts of both the Japanese government and the Japanese people for a speedy solu tion. It would require further effort and the Japanese at . home were fully prepared to strive to the last for a fundamental settlement. Rnhnn Si, f ON ACCOUNT VVIIWI Villi II .

Work has begun on the Charleston Northern railroad and it is expected it will be completed by next Novem ber, giving the Seaboard Air Line direct through connection from Ham let to Charleston, but there will be later yet another' connection with Charleston, .this being effected by the building of 25 miles more of line to Monroe from Jefferson, S. C. The pur nose of this is to give the Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio railway and the Seaboard Air Line which are extreme ly friendly, a road with light grade from Bostic to Charleston! Bostic be ing the place where the C, C. & O. reaches the Seaboard Air Line. Evidently Charleston is in the eye of railroad men as a port and a coal tncr fttfltion. The. C, Cr.& O. is one nf the costliest and best roads in the United States. The. Seaboard Air Line is to get into Augusta by. way of the nnrnlina and Georgia railway, which is to be built to Augusta from Colum bia a C". and at Augusta tne , aea board is to connect with the Georgia and Florida railway. Rheumatic Blood is Whole Stern Wonderful Remedy for Sci atica, Lumbago, and Dreaded Articular Rheumatism. - -v There is but one standard rheuma tism remedy, and it reflects the best thought of the day. It Is prepared in the great Swift Laboratory in Atlanta, Ga., and sold in all drug stores under the name f S. S. S. Starvation has been advocated by many as a cure for rheumatism, and yet S. S. S. accomplishes In fact what faddists proclaim in theory and with out the punishment of starvation. Hot Springs and sweating are often recom mended, but S. S. S. does all that 13 expected of these expensive and weak ening methods. It is conceded that rheumatism is caused in most cases by an acid, condition of the blood and aggravated by the remedies commonly used ror relief, In other cases rheumatism is the result of nerve depression; in still others it is the effect of some vitiated blood condition, having been treated with mercury, iodides, arsenic, . and other poisonous mineral drugs. The recoveries of all these types of rheumatism by the use of S. S. S. is a wonderful tribute to the natural efficacy of this remarkable medicine. Do not fail to get a bottle of S. S. S. to-day, but don't accept a substitute.
