& RAILROAD.
Dickinson is situated on the main line
Of the Northern Pacific which is at pres
ent the only railroad entering the city.
The company has in the Dickinson
yards six and three-fourths miles of side
track with a capacity Of 100 cars. To
handle the great volume Of freight at
this point, extensions are planned for
this year which will give the yards a
capacity Of 100 cars. The company is
enlarging the round house, making
twenty-five stalls, putting in a repair
machine shop. erecting new coal docks
and adding TO the telegraphic force.
In view Of the fact that Dickinson gave

seem Unreasonable to hope that the long
promisednew depot will be forthcoming
this spring.

0utshlne the Veterans.

New Orleans, Jan. 28.-Two important
orders to Confederate veterans issued by
Stephen ID. Lee, general commanding
the United Confederate Veterans, were
made public here tonight. Speaking of
the appointing of sponsors and maids of
of honor, Gen. Lee says:
cit cannot be denied that what was In.
tended as an honor to the descendants of
the glorious women of the Confederaoy
has grown to such a degree that the Con-
federate soldiers have In manner been
forced into second place."
He announces that this matter will be
brought to the attention of the Rich
mond reunion committee, and that pend.
ing action by the veterans at this con-
vention, he will abstain from appointing
chief sponsor and maid of honor for
the Richmond runion.
It is absolutely necessary, he continues,
that the expense of the reunion cities be
reduced and he wishes it distinctly un-
derstood that the outlay for entertain
ment of all sponsors and maids of honor
must be borne by those who make the
appointments.
The second order announces the date
of the 18th annual reunion for juno /, Q
and 8 next.

DOCTORS WANT MEDICAL BILL PASSED
THEY ALL GO ON RECORD.

The doctors took issue with the
Spartanburg Journal because of GER
tain editorials which have appeared
in this paper on January 1926, with
reference to the medical bill now be-
fore the General Assembly, passing
resolutions pledging their support to
the bill and arg;ng its passage. The
resolutions were introduced by DIR.
u. w. Jervey, of Greenville, and
were unanimously adopted as fol.
i lows:
Whereas certain editorials in the
!, Spartanburg Journal, purporting to
! voice the sentiment OF the best ele-
ment of the medical profession in
/ this and other counties in this State
have asserted that this element is
not in favor of the passage of the
medical practice act as introduced
in the House of Representatives by
the Hon. L. p. Cothrap, of Green
vile, and in the Senate by the Hon.
! +. III. Weston, of Richland;
And whereas, we the members of
the Fourth District Medical Society
/, composed of practically all regularly
gu lifted practitioners in the Counties
of Anderson, Pickens, Greenville,
Spartanburg, Oconee and Union,
{, know these statements to be without
foundation in fact;
| And, whereas, we, the aforesaid
practitioners, do know of our own
knowledge, that the passage of the
aforesaid practice act is earnestly
desired by the regular practitioners
of the whole State, and is endorsed
and urged by the South Carolina
Medical Association therefore be it
Resolved, That the Fourth Dis
trict Medical Association, composed
of the regular physicians of the
counties aforesaid, being this day in
convention assembled, do urge their
several Representatives and Senators
each and all their earnest and undi-
vided support of the said bill as
recommended by the committee on
medical affairs of the House of Rep
resentatives.
And be it further
Resolved, That the secretary be
instructed to hand copies of these
resolutions at once to the daily and
weekly papers of this district and
also to all members of the General
Assembly from this district.

Cotton Seed Injured.

jackson, Miss, Jan. 2S.--Cotton seed
in storage In the Mississippi Valley is
suffering considerably owing to the pre-
valance of remarkably mild weather and
oil mill managers report that seed ship
ments are of inferior quality owing to
the heating and rotting which is becom-
ing general. Although deterioration in
quality is shown wagon seed is still hold
ing at$12 per ton, though many offerings
are rejected on account of the quality.
The bulk of the seed crop has been mar
keted and managers state that there has
been large decrease in the volume of
offerings since January L. Growers are
now m aking inquiries for seed for plant
ing, and standard varieties are in strong
demand at good prioies, but very hard to
obtain.
