These similar processes give to both tobacco and coffee the cheer-t --ing and stimulating quality that pop ularizes the# use.

Menzies. tobacco, grown in the famous Pied mont region, requires and takes less sweetening than tobacco grown in any other section of the United States and has a wholesome, stimulating, juicy, full tobacco taste that satisfies tobacco hunger. That's why chewers prefer Schnapps, because Schnapps cheers more than any other chewing tobacco, and that's why chewers of Schnapps pass the good thing along —one chewer makes other chewers, until the fact is established that there are more chewers and more pounds of tobacco chewed to the population in states where Schnapps tobacco is sold than there are in those states where Schnapps has not yet been offered to the trade. A ioc. plug of Schnapps is more economical than a much larger ioc. plug of cheap tobacco. Sold at 50c. per pound in sc. cuts. Strictly 10 and 15 cent plugs.

CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. Tie Kind You Han Always Bought Bears the /TTw y/ Signature of Southern Mills Lose Hght\ The Interstate Commerce Commission De ci des that Rates on Cotton Goods From South are not Unfair. Washington, D. C., May 11—A de cision was handed down by the In ter-State Commerce Commission in the case of the Enterprise Manufac turing Company, of Georgia, against the Georgia Railroad Company, and ethers, involving rates on cotton goods and cotton waste from South ern points to Pacific Coast terminals, the decision being against the cqm rlainant. It is held that higher freight rates on such goods from the South to the Pacific Coast are just and reasonable. In its announcement the commis sion says: "The fact that such rates from Southeastern States are higher than those obtaining from the New Eng land States does not in and of itself establish the unreasonableness of higher rates, as conditions existing at the two localities are dissimilar. New England Mills, which suffer by the competing of the more favorably situated Southern mills, from a, stand point of production, are entitled to such an advantage in rates as they have from being situated at points closer to ports where cheaper water competition has been establish ed to the Pacific Coast points of con sumption." In the case of*" the Tomlin-Harria Machine Company, vs. the Louisville end Nashville and others, it wo shown that the rates on coal and pU iron.from Birmingham, Ala., to Cor dele," Ga., were $1.70 per net ton ani $2.75 per gross ton, respectively, ana from Birmingham to Macon, Ga., are $1.60 per net ton and SI.OO per gross ton, respectively, Cordele being near er the point. Upon the complaint that such rates as those to Cordele are unreasonable and unduly discrimi natory, the commission holds that up on the facts shown the coal rates are not unreasonable nor discrimina tory but that the pig iron rate is un just and excessive. Carriers are or dered to put in force on or before June 15, 1907, a rate of $2.15 per gross ton on pig iron from Birming ham to Cordele. Locke Cra For Gov Raleigh, N. C.
