RAILROADS RAISE AGE LIMIT
Pittsburg Lines Need Men to Handle
Big Freight Movement.

Pittsburg, August al Railroads
entering Pittsburg are In sore strait 3
for men to man their trains. Some
of them have raised the age limit
established for new employees some
years ago. while others are abandon
ing II altogether. The tremendous
Increase in freight business finds
them all short-handed. while at the
same time the western roads are
draining the eastern market OF all
available men to help move the phe-
nomenal crops. Advertisements are
appearing in all the local papers for
men to fill positions as brakemen and
conductors. wages are being advanc-
ed and every effort made to increase
the working forces before the heavy
rush OF fall freight business causes
a complete blockade.

Belief Growing That Phil. j,
Abbott Has Been Found
Probably Went TO Chicago and Ac'
quainted His Relatives With
Facts.
MRS. ABBOTT HAS GONE THERE

Belief is gaining ground that Phil
J. Abbott will never be prosecuted for
the alleged taking of 1920 from the
reserve fund OF the American-German
National bank. No warrant has been
sworn out here. and the fact that no
word has been received from the
agent OF the Fidelity a Deposit com
pany. lends color to the theory.
President Thompson, OF the bank.
said the bank has no further interest
as the claim Is assigned to the Fidelity
a Deposit company and the bank is
made whole by the settlement. This
means that under no circumstances
will the bank officials be more than
mere witnesses.
II is believed that Abbott went to
his father and brother. aud they Will
settle any civil debt he may owe the
Fidelity 4 Deposit company. and mn-
Ill they have adjusted the matter he
will remain In the back ground.
Mrs. Phil J. Abbott went TO chica-

Forest Hill has been led TO take an
interest in the welfare of the members
OF the theatrical profession known as
chorus girls. and has signihed his
willingness to donate 100000 toward
establishing a home for them.
The project was Planned by Miss
Marie Cahill. the actress. and through
a clergyman whom she knew and who
was acquainted with Mr.. Rockefeller,
She contrived to present the matter
to the Standard Oil head. The idea
appealed TO him. II Is said.
His donation will be conditional on
like amount being raised by Miss
Cahil and those interested with her
The home will serve two-fold puf-
pose. according to the plans of the
promoters. It will serve as a place
where chorus girls will be trained and
educated for their work, and also as
home should Illness or age prevent
them continuing in their profession.

Mr.. Editor:
Please allow me space in your
valuable paper to congratulate our
far rmers for 1.-THE wonderful success
they have attained in the struggle
over the price Of cotton. I think
the farmers ought TO stop for a
moment and consider what they
have made by cutting their acre.
age. We have received more mon-
ey for this small crop than We did
for the heavy crop of 1904, and l
earnestly appeal to every farmer
to hold fast what he has got and
let us do as We did last year, still
keep the crop short and raise hog
and hominy at home, and stop
selling out to speculators. Why
not be independent with what is
your own? You can be your own
man or you can do just as we
have always done-go around
with our heads down and complain
of hard times, or do as we did last
year.
The farmers can be indeper dent
if they will aud I earnestly hope
that every farmer will just
think how easy it is to get q good
price for q short crop-less work
and more time to raise corn and
meat and the things you need to
live on. You may expect hard
times so long as you buy every
thing you cat.
Our farmers are organizing Out
here and are counting on helping
to keep the crop short, 80 brother
former don't 60 and decide that
you want to make 1t all this year
and lose what you have already
done. J. R Maddox.
