RAILROAD WAGES Shall they be determined by Industrial Warfare or Federal Inquiry? To the American Public: Do you believe in arbitration or industrial warfare? The train employes on all the railroads are voting whether they will give their leaders authority to tie up the commerce of the country to enforce their demands for a 100 million dollar wage increase. The railroads are in the mi hlir Rprvirp? your service. This army of employes is in the public service?your service. You pay for rail transportation 3 billion dollars a year, and 44 cents out of every dollar from you goes to the employes. On all the Southern railroads in 1915, seventy-five percent of the tra.n employes earned these wages (lowest, highest and average of all) as shown by the payrolls?

The managers of the railroads, as trustees for the public, have no right to place this burden on the cost of transportation to you without a clear mandate from a public tribunal speaking for you. The railroads have proposed the settler\( flue iiivin uiio v-winiuvLioy v_iinci unuci L11C existing national arbitration law, or by reference to the Interstate Commerce Commission.

It looks very much like the farmers an not going to get to lay by their crops Cotton is seriously injured by the con tinued rainy weather. On la'st Saturday afternoon about j 4 or 5 o'clock we had the hardest tair that has fallen in Kelton in 40 yean d or probably the heaviest in my recob r lection. It must have been a clout - burst. Portman creek was the highest e I think I ever saw it. It was frou s hill to hill washing away or buryinp I. most of the corn in the mud. Roath f are badly washed and in many place* s so that they will have to be fixed be d fore public travel is safe. Rural mai - carriers are compelled to move oi tt Uncle Sam will discontinue the sen vice. These bad places in the roads e will have to be worked by our super a* visor and then look after the bridges s and the public highways as soon as - possible. We have no use for bridges if we can't travel over the roads tc d them. I don't suppose that the oldest citizens ever saw so much rain ir e July before or saw the crops in suet t a condition the last of July.- It is I safe to say if the rains stop now foi lc a great deal of cotton and corn t( e make over half a crop with favorabl< d weather. The grass and weeds have e got so firm a hold on them that it wil be ruinous to clean them, being s< t 'e in the season. It looks like nov y that the farmers will have to lay dowi I the hoes and take up the pick aprons t and the baskets; that is, if there is o anything to gather and if they shoult ? fail it will be the first since Noah's d flood. (I guess all crops were losl RELIEF FROM PAIN BRINGS HAPPINES! Substantial Farmer is Nov Happy Man. RECOMMENDS TAN LAC It has been said that health alii happiness go hand in hand. Aftc much suffering, when relief is experi enced, there is no wonder that on experiences happiness and joy. It i in the wonderful story told by J. C Cr.'in, one of the sturdy farmers o Westminster, near the dividing line of the States of South Carolina am Georgia, that we are given a bejAiti ful example of this return of joy whei health is again made better. Mr. Cain wrote recently to th State Agent for Tanlac at Columbij a voluntary testimonial of Tanlac. Hi experiences are best told in the fol owing letter, which he wrote: "I feel under obligations to sen* you a correct testimonial for Tanlac. " Ihave been sick for the past fivi years. I stayed bilious and sick a my stomach all the time. Nothing ate agreed with me and nothing I tool did me a"ny good. The doctors her announced that I had gall stones am gravel stones. My kidneys gave m severe pain all the time. "Before I began to take Tanlac i was a dra'g for me to get out ever; morning to feed my stock. Now can get up and call my wife to ge breakfast, and by the time I get inb the yard I catch myself a-whistlinj and a-singing the sweet songs I use< to sing. My mules recognize m; voice and begin to bray a"nd to knick er, knowing that I am coming to giv them their food. "Before I began taking Tanlac m; wife would ask me if *1 wanted to g with her to preaching on Sunda; morning. I would tell her, "No." didn't feel like going. Now I get U] every Sunday morning and ask m; wife if she wants to go with me t preaching. "Before I began to take Tanlac i was a drag for me to go to the fielc and sometimes I had to tell the boy and show the other hands what to dc Now I call get up every morning am eat a hearty breakfast and drink m; coffee, too, and it doesn't hurt me and I can go to the field and do a much work as any hand I h&Ve got. It is just such statements from citi zens of various walks of life like Mi Cain, who holds the highest esteem o the community in which they live, tha have prompted others to buy the grea preparation, and, therefore the maker of Ta'nlac are indebted to these person for their testimony and says amoni other things: "I can cufc^fheat all da; long noto, something I wive'not don in five years."

I)AVE TRAXLER OFFERS HIE ~ SERVICES WITH CLEAN HANDS. s (Political Advertisement). The old saying that virtue is it: own reward remains true, but now a-days virtue brings an additional re ward in dollars and cents. Take the matter of booze, for in stance. The railroads and all big in dustrial corporations have frowne< upon it. The booze-fighter goes beg ging for a job, while his sober brothei take a' place of responsibility am draws a flat salary, n Even men who drink regularly ii moderation are careful to select met who do not drink when they ar 0 choosing men to look after thei business affairs. This same eaie that men exercisi in hiring men to attend to their pri 1 vate businesses, should be exercise | in selecting men to look after th public's business. a The man who gives a part of hi l? time and a part of his energy and ^ part of his brain to courting th S demon that lurks in alcohol, may b I- energetic and honorable when he i entirely sober, but since he canno be fully trusted to keep his hea I and do the right thing in privat business, does it look like good com I mon sense to trust him with the af i fairs of the public in any official ca p: city ? The race for Congress in this dis Itrict is assuming tne aspect of moral test. Perhaps the candidate 'icmselves have not desired tha such a test be made, but the peopl are judging and wili judge to sui themselves.

They know that he i dependable, that he speaks the fran truth without an effort to curr favor, and that he will keep hi word at any cost. And hear i mind that the judgment of young fe lows is usually a clear and true judj ment of character, for they judge h what a man really is and not by th amount of his possessions or by whi he says of himself. If Traxler has an enemy it is or he has made by standing up for th right. No man can or will say tht Trasler has wronged him, or has failt to keep his word to him. , | CANDIDATE CARDS t - All Candidates Cards are $5.00 casl * in advance. t FOR SHERIFF. > I hereby announce myself a candi ? date for election to the office of Sher - iff for Union County and pledge my I self to abide by the decision of th t Democratic primary.
