Austin ,B. Garretson. former head qf the Order ofRailway Conductors, testified today before the house inter state commerce committee which is seeking to solve the problem of how best to; handle- the railroads after the war time period of federal control, v Sporadic strikes>. throughout.; the jcountry, Garretson said, with great 'earnestness. - merely are straws which show how the wind is blowing over a sea of industril -unrest. Rumblings heard in many quarters do net mean, he said, that laboring people want to overthrow the govern ment, but indicate a demand that the government function. It is largely in the power of con gress, the witness declared, to allay th? feeling. f "But it cannot be done by inaction" he - shputgd. Somehjuw, the Ameri can people are prone always not to do today what may be done tomorrow un less an emergency forces us to act, and -then **we break all records." Describing himself as a man who had been pilloried by the press from the Atlantic to the Pacific, Garretson told the eommitttee hg had traveled a long way to^ speak . in behalf of the Plumb plan which would give labor ! a voice in-the management of rail roads, the people would own. But] he did not regard the Plumb plan, he said, as more than one factor in still ing the spirit:, of .-the present day un rest. nor:did Jie think it.. would.change human nature or other things that can Jbfi: eliminated." . _ : "I am not a dreamer of dieanis," he told the committee which gave unus ual attention to his testimony, for his appearance on the stand put a new breath of life in the railroad hearing, now approaching its. second month. ' The usual method of dealing with wit nesses was abandoned largely at Gar retson's request. He had no statement in written form; when he started to speak, as he expressed it, he did not know where he would stop and for j two hours he was subjected to a rapid cross Are of questions from -a dozen 'members, - and for each of which he had a -qui^k reply, - '. Mr. Garretson. who had been wait ing since early last week to be heard, was called to the stand after Glenn B.-Plumb, the; raan: who framed or ganized labor's bill, had concluded his testimony. - ? . There was no desire, he said; to ex tend the Plumb plan beyond those in-:; dustries in which men worked with their hands. He wanted the men who run 'the Railroads to have a voice ir^ their , management:' he, wanted politics?] eliminated, and in . the general dis-J cussion of .this last subject the *witness j declared that-there was.no politics in! the action of the American Eedera ! tion of Labor in seeking to have the j postmaster- general removed because | thjs view, he held, was expressed byj Republicans and Democrats alike, j Admitting that the four great rail-1 ! way brotherhoods supported Presi j dent Wilson in 1916 and smiling) throwing in the added information that '.'With all my Republican affilia tions -I am. guilty too," Mr. Garretson insisted this was purely an "act of citizenship." - After the question of presidential politics ^had been raised. Mr. Garret son said this might be his final ap pearance before congress arid for that reason he wanted the record to carry a denial from him of reports, long i current, "that the brotherhoods with a gun-in one hand and a stop watch) in the other." had held up congress and forced through the enactment, of the Adamson eight hour- law. 'There was-no coercion of senators or representatives by the brother hoods." he shouted, pounding the ta ble: to emphasize the ;denial. "and I challenge anybody, to prove other wise.''. Mr. Garretson testified that he Re lieved the interstate commerce com mission was free from politics and that while the brotherhoods had an other candidate-for the office of direc tor general, he doubted :if their own man*would have gone as far as Di rector General Hines in efforts to ob tain successful operations of the prop erties;.

WILSON Th? following notice of the death of Dr. James Herbert Wilson of South Carolina is taken from the Lutheran of Philadelphia: The death of James Herbert Wil son, D. D.. removed from eartly activ ities', one of the foremost leaders in our church in the South. He was taken suddenly ill while apparently enjoying his usual good health, and died within a few hours of a severe heart attack. July 8, at Sumter. "Dr. Wilson was born April 16, 1854 at Williamston. His parents. Del?ney Lane Wilson. M. D.. and Hannah Bar rett Wilson, both died in 1857, leaving their younger children to the care of foster parents. James, at the age of three; was cared for in the home of Mrs. Kerr. in Saluda (then Edgrefield) County. Although his parents had been Baptists, he grew to manhood amid Lutheran faith, and was ever its staunch defender. His desire for an education w?.s gratified by his foster parents sending him to Newberry Col lege as a member of the clas of '77. He was awarded the college oratorical medal for an address on "The Human Face," unexcelled in college annals for uniqueness, beauty of thought and eloquence. He completed his course at the Theological Seminary. Salem, Va., in 1880. and was ordained by the South Carolina Synod in November of the same year. His ministry of 39 years included the following pastor ates: Early Branch. 1880-83; Cameron 1883-88; Ehrhardt, 1888-1902; Salis bury, 1902-1907; Orangeburg 1910-13; Sumter. 1914.-19. He also served as the financial agent of the Salem .Or phan Home, 1907-08. in the canvass for the cancellation of a debt of $17, 000; and in a similar connection with Marion College, 1913-1.4. He was a member of the board of trustees of Newberry College and also'-served on the board of Mont Arnoena Seminary while he was a member of the North Carolina Synod- As a member of the board of directors of the Southern Theological Seminary he served as its president. Newberry College confer red on him the A. M. degree in 1880, and that of doctor of divinity in 1905. . "Dr. Wilson was president of the South Carolina Synod for two terms. On the floor of Synod no member sur passed him in his grasp of conditions, and he carried this knowledge into ef fect along with his splendid executive ability. He was able to narrate with marvelous accuracy the most minute details of complex issues and difficult questions which concerned the synod. He was firm but fair in his convic tions and commanded%the respect and confidence of the entire synod. His influence extended beyond synodical bounds to the general body to which he was sent as a delegate more often perhaps, than any other pastor. "Companionship >with Dr .Wilson was the delight of his friends and parishioners. Modesty was one of his chief virtues as a minister and a man. ,His sermons bore the imprint of earn 'est preparation and thoughtfulness of the needs of the people. The gospel of the Lord and Savior was his theme and he made it the pattern of his own life. **Tn 1879 he maried Miss Mary L. Dunlop of Salem, Va. She died in 1898. He also lost a son, Robert Dun lop. in 1917. One . son and three daughters survive?Lawrence L. of Palmetto, Fla.; Mrs. C. E. Betts and Miss Harriett B. Wilson, Atlanta. Go., and Miss Pauline Wilson.

Columbia, all of whom testi fied to the character and eminent serv ices of Dr.- Wilson. Dr. Brunson, of the Sumter Baptist church, paid a beautiful tribute on behalf of the Sumter Ministerial Association, of which Dr. Wilson was President at the time of his death, declaring that h? was loved and admired by the en tire community without . regard to creed, and that his simple faith in Christ had made a profound impres sion upon the entire city. "The final service was held Sunday, July IS. .at Mt. Pleasant, church. Ehr hardt. S. C. amidst the scenes of his longest pastorate. The service was in charge of i Dr. Kreps, assisted, by the pastor loci. P. D. Risinger. S. W. Copeland. a former parishioner, bors tender testimony to the virtues of his pastor and friend: Here in the churchyard1 the mortal remains of Dr. Wilson -were ? laid to rest beside those of his wife and his son. and in the presence of a large congregation of sorrowing friends."

Salem, Black River, Aug. 9.?Sri day I made the trip to the Pee Dee Experiment Station at Florence. I will leave to Mr. Williams or Mr. Scar borough to tell of all the interesting - things we saw at the Station. I want I to write about the horrible roads. From my place,-via Trinity, to the county line at Commissioner E. T. Mimm's the road is about like it is from here to Sumter. Lee county road is good to ? DuRant's bridge. Florence roads all the way from Du- 1 Rant's Bridge through Cartersville and Timmonsville to the paved streets of Florence are a disgrace to the county and the three towns through which it is laid out. Coming back I traveled over the "loop road"?they call it?from the Industrial School to McKay's Cross roads. This is the Florence speed way or pleasure road, and is worse than the main road from Timmons ville to Florence. But of all the hor rible roads I ever had misfortune to drive over, the road from Sparrow Swamp Cross Roads, this side of Tim monsville to Hudson's bridge and on to Hope Swamp this side of.Shiloh, is the worst. There were three sep arate half-miles of good road?one near the river in Florence and two in Sumter county. The road is one se ries of holes and bumps. Some places the bushes grow so close on each side that one is sprinkled with the water that the car knocks from them. In the middle of Hudson's bridge we had to arrange five or six planks and drive carefully to keep from going through. Unless we build permanent roads we will have to go back to the old way of warning out the road hands for several days each year. The chain gang forces are no S. equal to the task. We have seen &vf miles out of^Sumter ditched and some of it graded <ind clayed only to be half done, and is now worse than if nothing had been done, yet the labour put on these five miles would have cut every bush,'scraped the. road and filled the holes to Hudson's bridge, jl spread over the entire length Thjs wonderful clayed road by J. K. McElveen's was fine on July 15th. Heavy traffic: while wet the week fol lowing made it impassable.' Then as it dried off the dragging was put off too long and it is now as rough as . Meeting street, Charleston, cobble- stones. With all the forces conceit* trated at Sumter. why was riot thia two' miles of road dragged until smooth, when .it was soft enough to drag and smooth? I see that the Engineer has re-, signed. Well, if he was going to con tinue that kind of work it is a good thing that he quit before he put 'more ;of the roads in -the same^ Sx. Maybe jit "is not his fault. I like him. per sonally and was sure he was going ! to make us some good roads. He owes i itt to his reputation as a. good road j builder to put these in good shape j so far. as he has gone before he gives up the job?and he owes it to the cause of good roads, for i? rpad en gineers do not make better jobs than the two of Sumter and Florence coun ties there" will never be any bonds voted to build roads with.
