CURTAILMENT A NECESSITY
BUT ONLY TEMPORARY.

AClanta, Ia, NOV. lZ.-"AS lndlcat-
ing the necessity for the policy Of
strict retrenchmenG iuaugurated by
Southern railway cor pany about the
middle of October" said President
Fairfax Harrison today, attention is
called to the fact that, while there
was small Increase in gross opera
ting revenues in July, there has been
a steady and progressive decrease in
such revenues since the European wal
began. For August this decrease
amounted to 1.20 per cent. for Sep
tember S.33 per cent and for October
1875 per cent. The results of opera
tion for October are not vet in hand
but for September the decrease in
rross operating revenues of S.33 pei
cent, resulted in a decrease of net op-
Grating revenues of 27.S4 per cent. II
was not until the tendency of reven-
ues was clearly apparant after the
close of September that retrenchment
was begun with the purpose of hold
ing expenses within actual revenues
This has been both a difficult and q
disagreeable task, but we believe We
now have our situation safely under
control.
"The management Of Southern rail
way company has not deluded itselt
with the belief that this curtailment
of expense is in every case an econ.
omy. 1T is clearly necessary wa
measure accomplished largely at the
expense of the conveniences of thu
people of the south and at serious los
to many officers and employees. Ev.
cry effort is being made to avoid cur.
tallment of necessary maintenance
work, and in that interest the cut.
have been made so far as possible il
matters affecting the convenience OF
the public as distinguished from mat
ters affecting safety and efficiency OF
operation, in which the public has ;
larger interest.
am glad to say that the organi
cation of Southern railway officer
and employees is responding nobly tc
the calls made on them by this emer.
gency and are doing better work thar
thev have ever done.
81 am glad also to certify that, ir
accordance with the spirit of Presi
dent Wilson's recent letter to the rail
ways, most of the public authorities
most of the commercial organizations
and many private citizens throughout
the South have shown just apprecia.
tion of the present problem of the
railways and have given us their ear.
nest and patient cooperation in mat.
ters involving personal and business
sacrifice to many individuals who use
our lines.
GAS evidenced by it's continuance OF
construction work for which capital
funds were provided last spring. the
management of Southern railway
company is steady in its confidence
that the present situation in the soutl,
is temporary, because the causes OF
it are external and not internal. The
South has been prosperous in recent
years and is now better able than ev-
er before to sustain a period of de-
preston and to recover from il
promptly when the pressure is re.
lieved. AS soon as the various effort
now making for cooperative relief of
the cotton situation show results, We
believe that improvement of general
business will be at once apparent."

LOCKHART JUNCTION

Lockhart junction, Nov. 16.-The
rain has stopped the sowing of small
grain for a few days, but we are in
hopes there will be fair weather till
the farmers get their grain all plant
ed. oats can be put in the spring,
but wheat all ought to be sowed be-
fore January.
We'll. every one is expecting better
prices for cotton as the New York ex
change is to open up today, the 10th.
Ram Sunday kept some people from
church and Sunday school.
Ihls writer was in Cross KEYS sec
ton last week and stopped at the
home of Mr.. Ed. Smith where | spent
the night and enjoyed a nice time.
Mr.. Smith is one of the successful
farmers of that section and saws he
is sowing wheat and oats; makes
enough bread stuffs to do him and
makes cotton his surplus crop.
Mr.. j. H. Hodge of this section
made one hundred and twenty bush
els of oats this year on 6 acres. This
was on common poor land and he
would have made 35 or 40 if he could
have gotten rain in time. These were
the Appler oats that sold for go
cents per bushel. So you see that
beats cotton at the present prices.
Mr.. H. N. Johnson of Monarch
spent several days with his son in
this section, but left for his home to-
day. He was born and reared in this
section. He takes The Times and
likes the correspondent letters.
The question that Mr.. j. E. Hughes
of the Sardis section asked some time
ago in The Union Times was answer
ed by Miss Florence Hancy. She says
Enock was the first prophet. This is
correct and it can be found in the 3rd
chapter of Jude.
Mr.. Golden Harmon, who has been
sick for several days, died at his home
last Tuesday, 10th, and was buried at
New Hope the following dav. He was
of a family of IL children, only six
living, three brothers and three sis
ters. He died in his Goth year; he has
six children living, two daughters
married, the rest are at home. His
wife died several years ago. He was
good Christian man and a good citi-
zen and will be missed in this com
munity. We are in sympathy with his
sorrowing relatives.
Miss Myrtle Gault spent the week
end I'M Jonesville with Miss Ruth
Scott and also visited Miss Sarah
Hughes at the home of Mr.. ]. w.
ocott. Moxy.

Mr.. Wilson's Advice to Young Men.

President Wilson was the chief fig
ure the other day at the celebration
in Pittsburgh of the 10th anniversary
of the founding of the Young Mems
Christian association. He made the
principal address of the occasion and
the following are some of the most
pertinent points he made for the ben
eft of young men:
Young men are embarrassed bv hav-
ing inherited their fathers opinions.
| wonder if We attach sufficient I'M
portance to Christianity as a mere in
strumentality in the life of mankind.
Character is a by-product and any
man who devotes himself to it's cuiCl-
walton in his own case will become a
selfish prig.
Christ came in to the world to save
others, not to save himself.
An association of Christian Young
men is an association meant to put it's
shoulders under the world and lift.
Young men are strong; Christian
men are the strongest kind of Young
men.
| have hate for a particular sort
of person that is the moral coward.
A man who is virtuous and a cow
ard, has no marketable virture about
him.
The life of society, the life of the
world. has constantly to be fed from
the bottom
If you want to make place whole
some, the best instrument you can use
is the sun.
You cannot stand still, you must
push forward the things that are
right.-Columbia Record.

we can even enumerate here.
The cushioned Keyboard with
"anchor keys" and the new automatic

1t is a significant fact that the

be the first to introduce automatic

Detroit. Aug. 1.-The New York
Yankees were beaten by Detroit in the
opening game of the series By score
of 4 TO 3, because-Ray Fisher faltered
in the eighth and let Bobby Neach
punch the ball for two bases, with two
Tigers awaiting rescue. At all other
times he pitched a good game of base
ball. assisted by some clever iielding.
Cavet also was pitching fine baseball,
but had not been able to keep the an
KEGS out of the lead.
Only three New York players got on
in the first three innings, two errors
and a pass accomplishing this. Cook
opened the fourth by waiting out four
wide ones. Cree's infield death sent
Cook along one space, and Mullenss
single let him finish. The first man up
in the fifth also scored, Sweeney SIN
Cling to right, stealing second by a
roundabout course, being headed on
and chased back before finally getting
through and finishing on Boone's sharp
drive to centre.
Daley and Cook were easy outs in
the sixth, but Cree produced two
Dagger and Mullen walked. Peck hit a
wicked bounder to third, which glanced
off Moriarty's ankle so far that Cree
completed his trip before it could be
recovered Then the visitors rested
from their lsbors.
Detroit's first run was manufactured
i'm the fourth chapter by Morlarty, who
began the proceedings with two-base
hit to left. High hunted and beat 1t,
Moriarty advancing one space. Craw-
ford singled and sent Moriarty home
and High to third. Cook let the ball
get by, and Crawford took second.
Veach hit to Maiscl, who held both
runners, and Kavanaugh hit to Fisher.
On this one High tried TO score, but
