HI ia, VINO mas Deen III Augusta
several days, attending the
annual convention of the Georgia
Presidential PostmasteTs' Associa-
ton, has addressed an open letter to
President Wilson. Mrs. Longstreet's
letter, she says, was prompted by
two things: First, President Will
sons announced policy not to see
candidates for Office himself, but to
let heads of the departments deal
with them; second, the following
news story from Washington in The
Atlanta Constitution Of recent date:
Representative Tom Bell held
another conference with Senator
Hoke Smith on patronage today be-
fore leaving for home. He said he
would stand by his decision to nom
mate A. S. Hardy as postmaster at
Gainesville to succeed Mrs. Long
street
Mr.. Hardy was an Underwood
man, while all the other nominees
OF Mr.. Bell were Wilson supporters.
The report that clippings from The
Gainesville Eagle of campaign sto-
ries published by Mr.. Hardy to ad-
vance Underworld interests in
Georgia had been presented to Presl-
dont Wilson was secuted by Mr. Bell.
At least he had no knowledge Of it,
he said.
asked if his policy would be to
nominate only Wilson men, Mr.. Bell
suia he would consider what his ap-
p0intces had done for him before
recalling their attitude toward any
body else. He said:
II will not nominate any one who
is offensive to Senator Smith. >"
Mrs. LOngstreet holds that Mr..
Wilson's policy makes possible many
peculiar conditions like hers, where
III only one side or one faction has
any chance for even a hearing; that,
with the member of Congress an OPP
ponent, the individual candidate is
practically excluded by the operation
of political machinery. Hence, she
says, the only way she has Of reach
ing the ear Of President Wilson, as
she sees it, is through the medium
of an open letter. Her letter, there
fore, is addressed to President Will
son as follows:
Augusta, Ga, March IT, 1913.
PRESIDENT woodrow wilson,
Washington, D. G.
Dear Sir: In this city where I have
been in attendance on the annual
convention of the Georgia Associa-
ton of Postmasters, l have read in
the. Associated Press dispatches of
this date, an interview with Mr..
Thomas M. Bell, member of Con-
gress from my district, who an
nounces that he is about to have me
relieved Of the commission of the
Gainesville, Ga, pOstottice.
Your announced policy which
bars candidates for office from the
White House, coupled with the OPP
position of Congressman Bell, makes
it impossible for me to present my
claims through the usual channels.
/ am, therefore, forced to resort to
the only means known to mean
open letter-to bring your personal
attention to my record in Office on
which I rest my APPLICATION for re-
appointment. I beg your careful
consideration of my record which
will show wnere justice lies.

pointed me to the Gainesville office

Madison.-During a severe electric
storm accompanied by a heavy rain
fall here lightning struck the west
wing of the new 100000 capitol of
Wisconsin and passing down the wall
back of the speakers desk in the as
sembly chamber burned several holes
in the heavy brussels carpet on the
floor. The $4,000 Blashfield painting,
"The Spirit of Wisconsin" on the wall
back of the speakers desk, was unin-
jured.
Racine.-Thousands of dollars dam
age was done by a small cyclone and
cloudburst which swept Racine county.
The First Evangelical church was
partly destroyed by fire from light
ming bolt; the farm buildings of Cliff
Rose, seven miles north of Racine,
were burned; the drug store Of DR.. F..
A. Fancher was partly burned; the
home of Samuel Martin was struck;
John Mills and family we're rendered

CHICKENS

TURKEYS
n
FREE RANGE: FOR CHICKENS
Ample Room May Be Provided With
Assistance OF Modern Wire Fen
cling and Few Posts.

The old method of free range need
not necessarily be changed. The
fowls should not however. be allowed
to run at will within the garden or in
and about the farm buildings Moth
ing is more aggravating or disgust
ing than to have the nice vegetables
or beautiful flowers scratched up, and
the doorsteps, the porch, the barn
floor and the farm machines fouIed
with poultry droppings. Separate the
poultry also from the other live stock
of the farm
If the fowls are to be kept near the
farm buildings, provide ample range
enclosed by modern poultry wire
fencing. The latter requires ordi.
narily but few posts, is easily put
up and has a very neat appearance
when in position.
Another way Of separating the fowls
from the center Of farm operations Is
to place the hen houses at a consider.
able distance from the farmstead, in
a pasture where the fowls will have
absolute range. The latter plan may
entail some extra travel by the poul.
trynan and there is the risk in some
localities of depredations by foxes,
hawks or other wild animals or by
thieves. The young, strong farmer
boy may find advantage in the second
or so-called colony plan,' while the
housewife will probably prefer the
fenced enclosure near the farm house.
Thirdly the farmer is too careless
in the way he disposes OF his poultry
products. He is usually content to
trade his eggs at the nearest grocery
store when by little extra effort he
could gain a select private trade
which would pay far better. His pure
bred stock Of one breed of fowls in
their well kept house and capacious
grassy yards will be a great adver-
tisement for his egg products and uni
form clean appearance of the eggs in
their attractive package will prove
an additional help in making sales
Then, too, in disposing of his fowls
the farmer often sells the birds alive
when by carefully dressing them on
the farm and selling to his customers
on orders he could secure far better
prices

EIGHTY NEAR DEATH
ON FLOODED TRAIN
Passengers of Pennsylvania Road Al.
most Observation-Disclosures of Crew
TO Rescue.

Marietta, O., July 16.-Eighty pas
sengers, the majority of them women
and children, stood in water up to their
necks and faced death for five hours,
while a frantically working train crew
rescued the entire number after many
trips through a raging torrent in a
rowboat Monday.
Three of the women may die from
the effects of their narrowing expert
ence and 25 more were taken to the
hospitals here, i'll from fear and ex-
posture.
The north-bound Pennsylvania pas
senger train which passed through
Marietta was caught in the valley
which runs along Duck creek, seven
miles from here, by the rapidly rising
waters Of the stream. The water was
scarcely covering the rails when the
engineer ran into the flood, but SO rap
id was the rise that the fire in the en-
CINE fire box was extinguished before
mile had been made and the train
was brought to a dead stop in the
seething water.
When the water, rising at the rate
CT five feet an hour, reached the chins
OF the men in the aisles, the train crew
had chopped enough planking from
tic baggage car to build a frail raft.
and on this two of the men put off into
the current After half an hours work
they succeeded in reaching land.
One frail skiff was found, and with
this the work of rescue was begun.
The boat would only hold four persons,
and two men were needed to pull it
against the torrent of the food. The
women were taken off first, and for
two hours the trips to and from were
made. For the last hour the men were
forced out of the cars and sat perched
on the tops watching the rescue work,

Methods of FEEDING Fowls.

Fowls should have empty crops in
the morning and the crops should
never be quite full until it is time to
go to roost at night. For the first
feed, grain scattered in the litter early
in TIE morning is preferred, the sooner
the better after the birds leave the
roosts. This induces them to exercise
which is especially important on cold
winter mornings. In the middle of the
day a warm, moistened mash should
be given, about what they will eat
within Is to 20 minutes, and at night
about an hour before they go to roost
a liberal feed of grain should be scat
tered in the litter.

News Notes of Wisconsin.

Kewauskum.-Ye ggmen entered the
postoffice by forcing a rear window.
They then attempted to drill through
the vault door, but, failing to open it.,
knocked off the combination with a
hammer. They then drilled another
hole, but whether they were able to
secure any funds will not be known
until an expert locksmith opens the
vault. AS a result of the robbery
Kewaskum was without stamps and
postals until Postmaster Koch was
able to secure a supply from Camp
bellsport. 1t is believed the robbers
escaped with a team of horses stolen
from q local creamery. The horses

RAIL STRIKE OFF;
CONGRESS ACTS
House and Senate Pass Bill
Amending Erdman Law.
ARBITRATION BODY INCREASED
Wilson to Sign Measure Creating
Three More Members to Body
That Will Endeavor to Set
tie Dispute.

Washington, July 16.-By the action
Of congress Tuesday in passing the
Newlands amendment to the Erdman
law the strike Of trainmen and conduc-
tors on eastern railroads was averted.
The Newlands bill provides six mem
bers instead of three on the arbitra-
ton board. President Wilson an
nounced that he will sign the measure
tonight
The railroad and labor representa-
tives thereupon promised to submit
their contentious to arbitration, and
there will be no strike of the trainmen
Of the eastern roads, at least until aft
or such arbitration has taken place
President Wilson characterized the
conference as Simple and satisfac-
tory"
Both parties were willing to end
their differences under the Newlands
amendment to the Erdman act, if this
amendment could be passed." said the
president. "The railroads felt that
three arbitrators, as provided by the
original Erdman act, were not a suf-
icient number to deal with the ques-
ton, and the Newlands amendment
will increase the board to six.
THE railroad representatives also
desired an independent board of arbi-
tration, which is provided by the New
lands bill. It is expected that the
measure will be passed by both houses
and signed by me by nightfall. This,
| hope, will put an end to the differ
ences between the railroads and the
employees, and both sides will be able
by arbitration to settle all their diff
ferences amicably."
1t was explained that the roads
chief objection to Erdman act arbitra-
ton was that too much responsibility
rested upon single mantle third or
neutral arbitrator.

Los Angeles, Cal, July 15.-Twelve
persons were killed and about fifty
were injured Sunday night, when a Pa
cific electric interurban train ran into
another one at Vineyard station,
junction on the outskirts of Los An
geles.
Several three-car trains on the Pa
cific Electric line, en- route to Los An
geles from Venice and Ocean Park,
were stalled at the Vineyard switch
by broken trolley wire. There were
no lights, and apparently a f1agman
had not been sent out. Without warn
ing another three-car train from Ven
ice swept around the curve and
crashed into the last train at forty
miles an hour.
The last two cars in the rear train
stalled on the line were completely
telescoped by the fast-moving train,
which plunged through the coaches,
loaded to the doors with holiday seek
ers. There were approximately one
thousand people on the trains IN
volved in the accident Many were
killed outright and others died before
they could be removed from the de-
bris.
Cambridge, Ohio, July 15.-Three
persons were killed, four fatally hurt
