oNANCOCK. VA, June 25.--Farm-
ers are now shipping what will prove
the largest potato crop ever harvest
ed on the Eastern Shore. Every
steamer to Baltimore is sailing load
ed sts the guards. and thousands of
barrels have been left on the docks
waiting. Notwithstanding that several
extra boats have been put on to meet
the demand.
The failure OF the Il. G. 4 A. a
subsidiary of the Pennsylvania rail-
road. to provide adequate shipping
facilities for this crop, notwithstand-
ing timely warning. threatens TO bring
up a question of damages against the
steamboat company by many farmers,
whose produce was left on the
wharves during q rapidly declining
market.
All industries and almost all inter-
ests here now are subordinated to the
marketing of this potato crop; Mills
and other industrial concerns have
practically closed down. the hands"
all having gone to the potato fields,
where they earn from So to So per
day picking up potatoes.
Prices OF potatoes are now low,
and many pleasing anticipations by
reason of this great bumper crop are
now hlighted by the low prices. Onions
are selling we'll, however. and farmers
fortunate enough to have planted
them in quantities. as some did, are
wearing brighter faces.

CONDUCTORS STILL
AFTER MORE MONEY
Question of Increased Wages Now
Before Interstate Commerce
Commission.
THREE ROADS INVOLVED
Petition Also Includes Other
Glasses of Employees, 1t is
Said.
THREE ROADS INvOLvEI

Whether conductors on the Seaboard
Southern are to get more pay is said
to be now up to the Interstate Com
merce Commission, efforts to adjust
the matter without referring 1t to the
commission having failed. Passenger
men on these roads want s2.T5 for
three quarter cents mile. This. they
say. is what the Chesapeake and Ohio.
Norfolk and Western. and Baltimore
and Ohio recently granted conductors
on their lines and 1t Is only fair that
men holding similar positions on the
other three roads should get equally
AS good pay.
The question of more pay was taken
up with officials in Washington before
1t was referred to the federal commits
sion, the men on the atlantic Coast
Line and Southern having previously
voted unanimously II is said. in favor
OF a strike In event their demands
were not granted in full. Those on the
eaboard Air Line are reported to have
OF striking with the same stipulation.
Conductors Determined.
4 conductor on one of these roads
says that the railroads. as a rule. seem
TO think that they don't have to give
I in to them as quickly as they do to
men like firemen and engineers who.
they think are better organized. He is
confident, however. that the roads will
/ finally have to yield to the conductors
! n. .kt.a1 fEaaSN
1t appears that one of the federal
laws requires that in matters iKSolv-
ing strike on railroads the matter
may be submitted to the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Another conductor, when interview
ed on the subject. said that In many
instances negro firemen were getting
more pay than passenger conductors
especially on runs out Of Richmond
over the Southern. This, he said. was
manifestIy unfair. regardless of the
color of the fireman.
Others Petitioninq, Too.
Brakemen. fiagmcn and baggage
masters are said to be also petitioning
for more pay along with the conduc-
tors In Washington. The baggage
masters. II Is stated, get less than
SIS month while the other two class
of employees get not so much as they
do. These men want an increase pro-
portionate to that of the conductors.
Word from the Interstate Commerce
Commission is daily expected by the
railroad men, a large number of whom
have their homes in Richmond. on
Gals of the railroads involved in the
dispute are equally eager to hear the
result of the commissions decision.
1t is understood that conductors on
the Richmond Fredericksburg and Po-
tomae, who were reported to be also
still kicking for more money. have set
tied their differences with officials OF
that road securing compensation en-
itireiy satisfactory. II - said.

fering person a great deal of good.
About six years ago, was dangerously

said l had kidney trouble One of the
doctors analyzed my urine and reported
that I had gravel, and further said that
in order to regain my health and life, an
operation would be necessary. I did not
want to be operated on as I was afraid
that would not recover. Someone told
me of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root and said
it was a reliable medicine for kidney
trouble, SO decided to try it and went
to Mr.. Rose, the druggist, at 303 Central
Ave, Minneapolis, and bought bottle,
took it, noticed results and continued
taking it until was entirely cured.
Having been free from any kidney
trouble for over six years, consider that

Swamp-Root has the credit.

The Key to Germany.

Capt. Charles King, the author,
praised, at the Milwaukee club, the
German element in Milwaukee's pop
ulation.
Il know a soldier" said Captain
King, who met the kaiser last year
in Berlin
"'You have a thorough knowledge
of our best thought and CUSTOMS said
the kaiser. Have you ever been to
Germany before?'
40, yes, sir said the soldier.
What cities have you visited? Ber
lin and Hamburg?' asked the kaiser.
"'No. sir said the soldier. Mil
waukee.'"
Barbour County index., 1910-11-09

worker this is hard matter. A tile
made in the octagon design has fat
surface, and thus all you have to
do is to make the bottom of the
trench smooth and insure the tile re-
naming in line.
The cost of this design over a
round tile is but very little, and as it
has many advantages, it should ap-
peal to the inexperienced worker as
he cannot help but secure correct and
satisfactory results.
While the tile may be made in
shorter lengths, it is merely a waste
of labor as the 18-inch lengths are
much quicker laid, and the tile are
porous SO the joints need not be as
close as with vitrified clay.
Another great advantage of con-
crete tile is that each tile is perfect,
while clay tile are very apt to draw
out of shape in burning, and thus
make trouble when laying them.

NECESSITY OF
GOOD CROPS
Farmer Is in Better Position to
Stand Poor Yield Than Manu-
faCturer, Banker and
Railroad Man.
CBy G.. r. PERKINS)

Who is most interested in a good
crop and a sure crop? The farmer,
the manufacturer, the railroad man,
merchant, or the banker? The more
| stuly the problem the more it looks
as though the farmer is the best
fixed to stand poor crop, and that
it hurts the others more The farmer
loses less sleep over it than any Of
the others and proportionately fewer
farmers fail than any of the other
lines Of business mentioned in a time
Of poor crops The farmer can get
mis- living from the farm, can reduce
expenses and economize in a way
that the others cannot. From this it
is plain that it is of vital interest to
all that crops be a sure thing for
each year, and each of these indus
tries which has really grown out of
the farm ought to put forth their best
effort to see that the farmer handles
his farm according to the best that
we know of farming.

ProcraStination,

Il heard a tale the other day of a
postponing chap. who thought he'd
buy wheel so gay, but-'They will be
cheaper, Perhaps And so he dallied
year by year, the cheapest wheel to
buy; but long before the cheapest
gear, that yap he had to die! And so,
by putting off the day, we miss the
wine of life; and some there are in
just that way who thus will miss a
wife! Get busy now, you timid swain,
procrastinate no more, for time is
surely ON the wane, and you bache-
lor! Some wait too long to make a
pick of husbands or of wife, and then
some take a broken stick and make a

WRONG IN THAT DIAGNOSIS

We are told that the latest sensa-

which the patient is suffering. But is
this really as novel as it is supposed
to be? recollect hearing some time

BOY WHO RAN
AWAY RETURNS
WITH RICHES

Plainfeld, Aug. 15:-The story
or the life of William SteinfeIdt for
the past decade and a half reads
more like. a fairy tale than sober
truth, but the facts presented by
6teinfeldt, who returned after an alb
sence of fifteen years spent in the
west, show that to one with the nee
essary ambition and pluck nothing
Is impossible.
Steinfeldt was dissatisfied when,
as a youth of twenty, he had made
up his mind that the home farm did
not present to him the necessary op-
portunities for development and
without consulting his parents he
took a quiet leave of New Market,
his native town, three miles from
this city, and struck out west. At
the age of twenty-six he has re-
turned to his home. for a visit only,
declaring that he has made enough
to support his aged parents in COM
fort for the rest of their lives.
Besides being the owner of a
ranch IN which Craze 10000 sheep,
Mr.. Steinfeldt has accumulated near
ly 100000, which is invested in
stocks and bonds, and has a farm of
500 acres under cultivation.
