Negroes Must Equal Accommod With Whites on Rwy's Washington, D. C., July 8. —The inter state commerce commission, in a de cision in the case of Georgia Edwards, colored, against the Nashville, Chatta nooga and St. Louis railroad, held that where the railroad provides certain ac commodations for first-class passengers of the white race, it is commanded by lav/ that like accommodations shall be provided for the negroes who have pur chased first-class tickets. It holds that in this case it is mani fest that the railroad "has unluiy a:u! unjustly discriminated in some parti culars against colored passengers,' and orders that where the railroad pro vides a washbowl and towels in eoacL es for the white passengers and a sep arate smoking compartment, similar; accommodations shall „e provided for the negro passengers paying similar fare. , The complainant, who had purchased a first-class ticket from Chattanooga.l Tcnn., to Dalton, Ga., was removed from the car for white people to one for the negroes and complained that she was discriminated against because of her color and not afforded equal fa cilities. Commissioner Lane, who rendered the commission's decision today, held: "The expense of a small smoking compartment in the latter end of the car for the whites accounts for nearly all the differences in cost between the two cars. He holds that the broad question of right under the thirteenth and four teenth amendments of the constitution to segregate the white and colored pas sengers has been upheld by the Su preme court of the United States. The opinion concludes: "While, therefore the reasonableness of such a regulation as to interstate passenger traffic is established it by no means follows that carriers may dis criminate between white and colored passengers in the accommodations which they furnish to each. The prin ciple that must govern is that the car riers must serve equally well all pas sengers, whether white or colored, paying the same fare. Failure to do this is discrimination and subjects the passenger to undue and unreasonable prejudice and disadvantge. President on Picnic. Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 8. —Taking his children in a boat, President Roose velt rowed away on Long Island Sound Saturday morning, and it was stated by Secretary Loeb that the family had gone to Lloyd's Neck for a picnic.

C., July 8— In his charge to the grand jury of Wake county superior court today. Judge i.ong declared that as custodians of the laws of the state it was the Ocunden duty of the jury to indict all parties who violate the act of the last legislature limiting ralroad fares to 2M cents a mile.

SENATOR SIMMONS' SUCCESSOR. ; * Much Speculation as to Outcome of r Meeting Monday Night—Congress 3 man Webb's Name Mentioned. f Raleigh, N. C., July o.—Opinion is divided here as to the probable course to be pursued by the state dem -3 ocratic executive committee in special i session here Monday night to "act on . the resignation of Senator Simmons as . state chairman. That the resignation r will be accepted is certain, but the question is as to whether a successor will be elected at this time or just a | direct secretary to perform the func j tions of chairman until the next state democratic convention. Many contend it will be the part of good politics for Chairman Simmons to get in a succes sor of his own choosing, but there, is . no clear idea as to who he would favor. | The nearest indication seems to be the t recent statement by A. D. Watts, pri vate secretary to Senator Simmons to the effect that he believed Congress man Webb would be elected. The con tention is that the west is entitled to t the chairmanship for the reason that . he east and central sections held it a j long while, and the contest is now principally in the west.

"Food for you," shouted a man in the back of the room. Ilis enaculation was echoed and re-echoed by one af ter another. Several threw their hats into the air; others scrambled upon jchairs to look over the shoulders of the crowd; the greatest confusion pre vailed. Attorney Fairall, of the defense, raising his voic above the din, called out to Jud?e Dunne: "Your Honor, this cheering is a very unseemly occurrence."

OLD SORES KS?opeh | BY IMPURITIES IN THE BLOOD Whenever a sore refuses to heal it is because the blood is not pure and healthy, as it should be, but is infected with poisonous germs or some old blood taint which has corrupted and polluted the circulation. Those most usually afflicted with old sores are persons who have reached or passed mid dle life. The vitality of the blood and strength of the system have naturally begun to decline, and the poisonous germs which have accumulated because of a sluggish and inactive condition of the system, or some hereditary taint which has hitherto been held in check, now force an outlet on the face, arms, legs or other part of the body. The place grows red and angry, festers and eats into the surrounding tissue until it becomes a chronic and stubborn uleer, fed and kept open by the impurities with which the blood is saturated. Nothing is more trying and disagreeable than a stubborn, non-healing sore. The very fact that it resists ordinary remedies and treatments is good reason for suspicion; the same germ-producing cancerous ulcers is back of every old sore, and especially is this true if the trouble is an inherited one.

Beautiful Ceremonial Marked Oregon Celebration—Queen of Occasion "to Have Appeared Before Crowd, But Ags Too Great. Portland, Ore., July B—Far and a , way the most remarkable and beautiful (feature of the Independence Day ce lebration in the state was the naming oi Mrs. Mary Ramsey Lennox Wood. "Mother Queen of Oregon." Mrs. Wood who is 120 years of age, and well in possession of her faculties, did not participate actively in the exercises, it being deemed an uneccessary hardship to bring the old lady from her home at Hillsboro into this city, but Gener al George H. Williams, Attorney G; n eral under President Grant, named her publicly as' Queen, aplauded by tiio crowd that had gathered to witness; the exercises. General Williams i.i himself 84 years of age and a man of remarkable preservation. Mrs. Wood was born at Knoxville, Tenn., May 20, 1757. She was twin married, her first husband, Mr. Leni mons, dying in 1839. In 1852 she mov ed from Missouri to Oregon, settling in Washington county, where she stilt makes her home, riding on horseback the entire way. Mrs. Wood married her second husband, John Wood, May 28, 1854. Of her four children, all of of whom lived to ripe old age, only one is today living, and that is the youngest child, Mrs. Catherine 1). Southworth Reynolds, who was born in 1830. Mrs. Wood is of English ancestry, her parents first settled in the Carolin as afterward removing to Tennessee. Her mother died at the remarkable age of sllO. This remarkable anti quarian now weighs 130 pounds, is a good conversationalist, and speaks about the career of Napoleon Bona parte, who was a lad of 18 when she was born, as though these things hap pened yesterday. She was a mature woman of 34 when Napoleon died, ami her youngest child was born only nine years after his death. At the time or the death of George Washington she was 12 years old, and Daniel Webster, if he were living, would be only five years older than Mrs. Wood. Frederick the Great of Prussia, as well as Benja min Franklin, were still living when she was born. She was a mother be fore the birth of Abraham Lincoln and W. E. Gladstone, and she was twice a mother before Horace Greely, Charles Sumner or Henry Ward Beeclier came into the world. As we have instances of grandmothers at the age of 31, Mrs. Wood was old enough to have been the grandmother of Queen Victoria o" Julia Ward Howe, and as she is years older than General Geogc If, Williams, who named her Queen of Oregon, she could have been his grand mother. SHOT AND KILLED. Wadesboro, N. C., July 8. —Sandie Leak, colored, was shot and killed by Lazarus Allen Saturday night at the home of the latter. Allen claims that Leak had been intimate with his (Laz arus) wife. But this is not borne oat by the evidence. 1
