The Blizzard Cure.

A sympathetic shiver ran through the COM
munity of newspaper readers when the tale
was told OF the New Jersey girl who kept up
her "fresh air cure" by sleeping out Of doors
every night OF the recent unlamented bliz-
Zard.

Up in Dublin, where the mercury itsel1

HARVIE JORDAN ISSUES CALL
TO FARMERS.
Urges Them 10 Hold Precinct Meet
iDgs February ii, and put Plan OF
Convention into Practical Effect.

Atlanta, Ca, Feb. 8. Especially President
Harvie Jordan ofthe Southern Cotton Grow
ers's Association, has issued a call to the cot
ton planters of the South. urging them to Or
ganiZe and carry out the will OF the great
New orleans cotton con Vention.
1.-THE people OF the cotton growing states are
aroused to the Imperative necessity 10 do
something" says he and he urges that In &C.
cordance with the plan OF organization adopt
ed at New Orleans the people assemble In
their respective voting precincts beat or mi.
litia districts on February IL. at ! o'clock,
elect precinct chairman and appoint COM
mittee of three on cotton acreage 4; this COM
mittee to I'M mediately requestthe signature
of every cotton grower In that precint to
pledge to reduce his acreage Is per cent. The
farmers will further, at this ga thering on the
llth, elect three representatives to county
con venton to be held at the county seat on
Thursday, February 16. which county conven.
ton shall elect its own officers and elect three
representative to state convention to be
held February 2lst in every state capital.
After reviewing the situation and telling OF
the work accomplished at New Orleans
calling for the gatherings, as announced
President Jordan explains the entire plan OF
organ ization adopted and urges that the far
mers stand together as one man. From the
call II Is evident that the Southern Cotton
Growers association proposes TO get down to
work a. once and that before the end OF the
present month there will be complete
working organization in every state In the
south and sub associations In every county
and precinct.-Augusta Chronicle.

Should Observe this Law.

1t may not be generally known, yet 1t is a
fact, that there is q State lew against the
mutilating of trees growing near the public
highway. 1t is to be found In the code, sec.
Lion 459, and reads as follows
"Whoever shall willfully or wan tonly cul
down or kill any tree growing within ten
feet OF any road which may be laid out, al.
tered or mended, by the authority OF the
county supervisor OF any county, which
shall, by direction OF the highway surveyor
in charge of such road, have been left stand
Ing as convenient for shade to the road, for
each tree so cut down or killed shall be fined
twenty five dol lars at any court OF competent
jurisdiction." If this law were enforced we
would soon have beautiful highways in The
Slate. And besides the shade would make
travelling on the highways more pleasant
In summer, and the trees would protect The
roads from washing In winter. 1t seems s
great pity that this law is not enforced

ENGLISH RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.
Claimed the Proportion of People
Hurt Is larger Than Here.

Washington Sept 22.-Statistics
just published by the British board
Of Trade explode the theory that
there are more accidents on American
than on British railways. It appears
from the figures that American rail-
way travel is safer in proportion than
railway travel in the British Isles
According to the report Of 1904, 1877
passengers, 443 railroad employees
and 5T3 other persons a total of 1853
persons. We're killed and 1S,S02 injur-
ed in railway accidents in Great Brit
ain. During the same time AL pas
sengers, 3632 employees and 1913 other
persons were killed and S4,155 injur-
ed By railroad accidents in the United
States.
The total mileage Of the British
railways is 22,6OO miles while that
of the American railways is 213,9O4
miles. The American mileage is nine
and one-half times that of Great
Britain, while the total of American
railway fatalities is less than nine
times the English total.
The total of injured on American
railways is less than four and one
half times the English total. In ad-
dtion to that it must be considered
that the passenger and freight mile
age on American railways is far
greater than that of British railways
and that the amount of business done
in this country and the speed of the
trains is also far greater than the
business and speed in Great Britain.

Driven from their "gentlemen's
agreements for the division of traf-
fic and territory in Washington by the
aggressive determination of the Wash
ington railroad commission to make
and enforce Joint rates" over all lines
in the state, the several great railroad
systems entering Washington are on
the verge of a traffic and construction
war which threatens to arouse them
all to the most intense traffic and con-
struction activity.
Already the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific have come into the
open with AN announcement that they
| have organized a company jointly for
the construction of a line from Kenne-
wick down the north side of the Co
lumbia to Portland.
The agreement between the North
ern Pacific and the o. r. & n. to build
a joint tine down the Columbia from
Lewiston to Riparia has been several
times made and as many times re-
voked by one or the other of the par
ties.
