Commission Reports.
Much Trackage Laid By Southern
Last Year?Heavy Kails
Being Laid.
The annual report of the South
Carolina railroad commission shows
that during the year 1919 61 persons
were killed, mostly at grade crossings
in the State. Railroad employees are
not included in this list. The number
of persons injured was 184, these
also mostly at grade crossings.
The number of employees of roads
killed was 16. Five passengers were
killed and 169 injured.
It is emphasized by the commission
that the physical standard of the
roads is not up to pre-war status, because
of labor shortage and the inability
to procure material. Ne ne\%
roads ware built during the past
year, but double trackage of the
ft
Southern railway progressed satisfactorily
and will soon be completed.
There are now 129 miles of the
double track being used.
Excellent progress was also made
in the laying of heavier rails. Over
the different lines 14S miles of 85 and
90 pound rails and 64 miles of relay
rails were laid replacing much lighter.
Few steel bridges were erected,
because of the scarcity of materials.
Four depots were, built during the

BRYAN EXPLAINS TREATY.
Says He and President Agree in Purpose.?No
"Split" in Party.
Chicago, Jan. 10.?William Jennings
Bryan told reporters today that
he and President Wilson "agree?in
purpose."
"We both want immediate ratification
of the peace treaty and a speedy
establishment of the league of nations,"
he said. "It is simply a difference
of opinion over a method and
not a purpose.
"There is no reason why advocacy
of a compromise should be interpreted
as opposition to the president. Mr.
Wilson is an official and his recommendations
travel by their own
weight.
"The constitution gives the president
the right to make recommendations
to congress. It gives congress
the right to disregard the recommendation
just as it empowers congress
to pass laws and the president
to veto them."
Mr. Bryan said 86 senators favoi
ratification of the treaty but differ
as to reservations. He advocated a
compromise so as to keep the treaty
from becoming a campaign issue, adding:
"If the Republicans insist upon
reservations that the Democrats can
not accept then the Demcrats will be
in a good position to take it as an
is&::e before the people."

LIVES NOT WASTED.
Orders Withdrawn After Signing of
Armistice.
Washington, Jan. 10.?Statements
made before a house war investigating
committee that American lives
were needlesly wasted on armistice
day are denied in a letter from General
Pershing made public today by
Representative Fuller, Republican,
t '
of Massachusetts.
General Pershmg says the AmeriJ
can troops were acting under general
instructions issued by Marshal Foch
to all allied commanders on Novem- j
9 1918. and that orders for at
' ( ' tacks
were withdrawn as soon as
possible after he was advised of the
signing of the armistice. He ' also
says statements that American troops
were ordered to the attack while
French divisions remained stationary
are "wholly erroneous."
The general's letter is dated November
21, 1919, and is in reply to
f ' charges contained in a letter to Mr.
Fuller from Capt. George K. Livemore,
of Winchester, Mass., former
operations officer of the One Hundred
and Seventh Field Artillery brigade
of the Ninety-second (negro)
division. Mr.. Fuller explained that
he made the letter public in view of
statements recently made before th*>
committee by Brigadier General Sherburne,
commanding the artillery division
of the Ninety-second divis;on,
about which mucffi of the controversy
regarding armistice day losses has
centered.

Charged With Striking Father On
Head With Chair.
Gaffney, Jan. 9.?M. T. Atkins,
white, was tried in mag'strateVcourt
yesterday on a charge of having
struck h's father over the head with
a chair, inflicting a painful wound.
The defendant testified that his father
was quarreling with his mother
and that was the reason he gave for
striking the old man. As the defendant
is about forty years of age
and his father about sixty-nine, the
magistrate told him that he could
have held the old man if he was apprehensive
of his doing bodily harm
to his mother, and proceeded to im
pose a nne or $ou or tnirty days on
the public works. The defendant
promptly paid the fine and was discharged.
At the same time the magistrate
took occasion to give the following
gratuitious information "that!
it should be unlawful for anyone to
interfere when a man and his wife
were quarreling."

In The Peculiar Situation Described,
ZIRON Iron Tonic Is Found Helpful.
It often happens that the organs of youi
body do not function properly, for some
reason or other. There is nothing really
wrong, and you are not sick. But certainly
you are not well, either.
If you are in such a condition, read
what Mr. Wm. M. Bass, Rt. l.Crossville,
Ala., did. and try Ziron Iron Tonic, as
he did. Mr. Bass says:
"I am nearly always* pretty well and
strong and do not need mucn medicine
excepting for headaches. But, recently,
when I had not been feeling very well
| for a while, I knew I needed some sori
of medicine to make me all right.
1 took Ziron and it made me strong and
well again."
Ziron puts iron into the blood, and, by
doing this, may prevent a serious attack
Of illness,which you are liable to "catch",
at any time if your system is weakened j
or your condition oeiow par.
Ziron has well proven its value as a
tonic. Try it when you fee\the least bit;
out of sorts, not quite as good as usual,
fired and weary.
Your druggist sells Ziron on a moneyback
guarantee. znio
