" Fully fifteen per cent of those who have asked medical aid either in person 1 or , by mail are women, and this, she says, shows that larger percentage of .the fair sex ' than of men are sorry they started,, the t habit.'- " : '"Maybe it is because women have a 'f weaker will power than men or maybe It ) - is because thev are more changeable of mind," said Miss Gaston, y" Any way, I am surprised" at, the large number of women whcbave written me heart-rending letters asking for. the slightest; en couragement, that they might be able to sever the bonds which hold them' slaves x to the cigarette habit. And-the appeals I get are not from the lower class pf women but from those of intelligence. i'One" woman whose husband is tt ' prominent Canadian, possessor of a title, and who moves in the most, exclusive society; has written for the cure. She contracted the habit unknown to her husband. I was astonished to find that some of the women have been using cigarettes for twenty years. This is re markable, considering the fact that the habit among women in society is a fad of practically recent o.igin. , . , "Actresses seem to 'be in the ma ' jority of women patients. -. , Some re ported -that they wanted to quit be cause smoking Jwas impairing their .

Several have been so fortunate as to locate the property stolen from, them,, but others have not had such gobd luck.: r R. A. Hill, a Journal employe, came near losing a valuable bicycle yesterday morning and but ofivthe fact "that he" awoke just at ' the proper ' moment and saw the thief making his departure he would in all probability be among the list of those who're now searching for their wheels.1 ' ; !. . Mr. Hill lives 'just West, of Jack Smith's Creek and uses ; a bicycle in going to and from his work. Monday night he placed this. on the rear porch after' reaching home, as , he. had been accustomed to doing, and retired. Just after day break yesterday .morning he awoke and saw a negro going out of the yard with the bicycle. - Jumping from bed he quickly donned his clothing and rushed, out after the thief.' For tunately the front tire of the bicycle was punctured and this Kindred -the negro from 'riding it and when he saw: Mr. Hill approaching he threw ft over on the side of the road. " . The. .negro vehemently denied steal ing the 'wheel, but stuck to the story that he had found it further up the road. However, Mr. Hill recovered the bi cycle and it is now adorned with a heavy chain and pad lock which will be psed when the , "bike is not in service. : QUICK WOR!p IN.

The Just Freight Rates Association, more than one hundred strong, today voted unan imously to reject the proposition of fered by the railroads and not accept anything that did not put the entire State on competitive basis with -Virginia cities. J. Allen Taylor, of Wil mington, and E. R. Preston, of Char lotte agreed that a - boat line was needed to get equitable rates, but the associat on did not take 'up the ques tion. -- . .--. Most peppery remarks were delivered by Judge Clark, who insisted that the proposition offered by the carriers was a disgrace to the intelligence of the people of the State. John Mitchell, of Hickory, even wanted to reflect on the Corporation Commission, but got small comfort. .. Various interests clashed some what, Wilmington insisting for a rela tive reduction with other points. Winston-Salem, through John L. Graham, said it was willing -to concede that that town was getting better rates than other cities. The whole body moved up to the Governor's office to attend the conference. : The meeting of the Governor, Corpo ration Commission, and the s-vri rate Commission was devoid of s interest, Chairman Travis merely plaining the report ;to the Governo . was decided to have ten members the Freight Rates' Association act an advisory capacity ', to the author ities.

The la test theory of science that giantism does not run in families is not borne out by the Stiegler family of this city, Here is the record: Michael Stiegler, fifteen, 6 feet 'i inches. rfis sister, Helen, seventeen, 6 feet ?. nches. His grandfather, 7 feet 1 inch, his brother, Joe, 6 feet 1 inch. His father, Joseph A. Stiegler, 5 feet 11 inches. The mother of the two tall boys and the one tall girl is herself an unusually tall . woman. The grandfather was born in Germany. Michael Stiegler weighs 180 pounds and wears a 12 shoe and a 7 1-4 hat. lentil recently he was so thin that his parents decided to have his pituitary gland removed. This is the gland at the. base of the nose that is supposed to control the growth of the body. But the boy was sent to a Virginia farm, and when he got back home he was almost fat. He has joined the Boy Scouts and he says he is the "biggest scout on earth." His only trouble now is an occasional earache. . At the Medico-ChirUrgical Hospital it is said 'that nine out of ten per sons die when the pituitary gland is removed.,-.

SUED YESTERDAY. r ROHM ATHENS DAY WIDOW 111 BE OF Trained For Four Years In Railway- Work By Her Husband. CAN EASILY HANDLE Intends To Develop Line So le; Will Be Of Great Value. Atlanta, Aug. 12. Trained by her husband during his four yea's of in validism in all the intracies of the. many business in which he was inter ested, Mrs. Cora Williams, widow of Capt. Jesse P. Williams is now prepared to carry on the work. By the recent death of Capt. Williama who so far as was known left no will, Mrs. Williams comes into possession of a property reputed to be worth $10,000, 000. This includes $2,200,000 worth . of -bonds in . the Georgia, Florida and Ala bama Railroad, a 200-mile interstate line and 90 per cent, of its stock, together with. 250,000 acres of rich farming and timber lands in Souths Georgia and Florida and numerous other investments. Capt. Williams's interests were chiefly centred in his railroad and it was to keep this that he insisted on his wife acquiring a thorough knowledge of all details of railroad work. Knowing her husband's wishes and policies, she, with her faithful lieu- tenants, carried them out. It is the belief of her close friends that it is he purpose to handle the large properties just as Capt. Williams would have done so, in other words, to continue to carry out his wishes, and especially, t so direct the railroad that it shall steadily grow to be a stronger factor in t?he development of southwest Georgia and West Florida. Just a few weeks before his death an old friend asked Capt. Williams the secret of his successful business career. "Thorough investigation," he replied. "Making money is easy if you care full examine the propositions which will come up all the time in the course of business." His. motto, "Investigate," he instilled into his wKe and her management has. been higlly stj ressful, and she has fully mea: aired up to the responsibility devolving on her. t Capt. Williams was a unique char acter. At the age of twenty-three he was penniless; at seventy, worth ten million. Many men who stuck to him made big fortunes, three men making fortunes of from Mdf a million to millions; all who forsook him failed. He built up his wealth in the naval stores business and when there came a time that alleged friends forced him out but at his own price, his business was appraised at $3,400,000. "There will come a time when you will need me," he told them. Not long after that the naval stores business in the South faced bankruptcy. When he decided to extend his Tail- road Capt. Hanson, then President of the Central of Georgia, was wroth. "Build your road beyond its present terminal and I will break you," he threatened. Capt. Williams built and Hanson's threat was proved vain. At the next meeting of the directors of the railroad it is understood she will be elected President. The finishing touches are now being- added to the Eubanks building which - has recently been erected on the South-' west corner of Broad and ' Middle streets. , This building will, at an early date, be occupied by a drug store to be conducted by C. D. Bradham. E. H. Morton, of Maysville, was in the city yesterday. He does not bring glowing reports as to the crops.' It appears to him, he states, that excessive, rain has already damaged the cotton crop materially. ' , NEW ADVERTISEMENTS INDEX. New Bern : Banking & Trust Co.
