1t is my purpose this time to give
statement Of my prison life. I'VE were
taken soon after capture to Point
Lookout, on Chesapeake bay. We
were searched by the aYnkees, and all
our little money, our watches and
knives were taken from US. They
recorded our names, the name of our
company, regiment and State. They
put IA men into tent, and we were
rather crowded, although the tent was
not so small. AS to our food, we got
half bakers loaf of bread, cup of
soup, an ounce or so of beef. Some
times we got raw cod-fisa. 1t is said
that fish must swim in water. whether
in the river or in mans stomach; so
we drank lots of water alter eating
the goldfish.
Scudder, of Cincinnati, OHIO, sent
me five dollars. l had written him
that I was a prisoner, and had no
money. He and l were good friends

I bought jeans blanket, and got a
man to make me pair ol pants out
OF it. In tie way of pay l gave him
the balance of the blanket to make
him a pair of pants. That was
bargain l shall never forget: Neither
can l forget those pants. The night
after the pants were made 63 of our
men in prison there .roze to death.
My heavy, woolen pants might have
saved my life.
After the men froze that night, the
Yankees came round, looking into the
tents to see who needed blankets.

old, ragged pants put my old blanket
around me, bundled up my new pants
and my good blanket, and had Jno.
R. Finley to sit on them. (Jno. Finley
lives in Laurens county, S. c., where
| spent a few weeks with him last
summer. He and l had several good
laughs over the way we cheated the
Yankees.)
When the Yankees came tnat morn

they said:
How are you off in regard to new
blankets? p
/ said: t'You see how / am," draw
ing up the old blanket, which was
thin in places with hole I3ere and

They said: "Is that all you haVe?"
said: "How could get any,"
They said: ''Is that the only pair
OF pants you have?'

would seem encouraging, t,lt looking forward, we are able 10 house less than one third of the crop and warehouses without d credit system lose 70 per cent of their usefulness. 1he problem IS a gigantic one-too great for tie farmer to solve unaided.

 In production we have reached the high water mark of perfection m the worlds history. but our marketing methods arc most primitive.

RAILROADS APPEAL
 TO PRESIDENT
The Common Carriers Ask for Relief-Presidcnt Wilson Di- rects Attention of Public to
 Their Needs.

The committee of railroad ex- ecutives, headed by Mir. Frank Trumbull, representing thirty five of the leading railroad sys- tems of the nation, recently pre- sented to President Wilson a memorandum briefly reviewing the difficulties now confronting the railroads of the country and asking for the cooperation of the governmental authorities and the public in supporting railroad credits and recognizing an emer- gency which requires that thc railroads be given additional rev enues.
 The memorandum rccites ti,at the European war has resulted in general depression of business on the American continent and in the dislocation O credits at home and abroad. With revenues de- creasing and interest rates in- creasing the transportation sys- tems of the country face most serious crisis and the memoran- dunn Is a strong presentation of the candle burning at both ends and the perils that must ultimate ly attend such conhagration when the flames meet is apparent to all In their general discussion the railroad representatives say in part: By reason of legisla- tion and regulation by the Fed< eral Government and the forty eight states acting independently of each other. as well as through the action of strong public opin-. ion, railroad expenses in recent years have vastly increased. No criticism is here made of the gen eral theory of governmental regu- lation, but on the other hand, no ingenuity can relieve the carriers of expenses created thereby"
 President Wilson, in transmit ting the memorandum of the rail- road presidents to the public, characterizes 1t as "a lucid state ment of plain truth" The Press ident recognizing the emergency as extraordinary, continuing, said i'll part
 You ask me to call the attcn- tion of the country to the impcr- ative need that railway credits; be sustained and the railroads helped in every possible way, whether by private cooperative effort or by the action. wherever feasible of governmental agencies and I am glad to do so because I think the need very real.
 The conference was certainly fortunate one for the nation and the President is to be congrat,,s- lated for opening the gate to a new world of effort in which everyone may cooperate.
 There arc many important problems in our complex civili- zation that will yield to co-opera- tion which will not lend them selves to arbitrary rulings of commissions anu financing rail- roads is one of them. The man with the money is a factor that cannot be eliminated from any business transaction. and the public is an interested party that | should always be consulted and happily the President has invited all to participate in the solution ,f our railroad problems.

 Women and Children First.
 The census enunerators tell lis that of the 1,514.000 women who work in the fields as farm hands 409,GO0 are sixteen years of age and under. What is the final des- tiny of nation whose future mothers spend their girlhood days behind the blow. pitching hay and hauling manure, and what Is to become of womanly culture and refinement that grace the horne, charm society and en- thuse man to leap to glory in noble achievements if our daugh- ters are raised in the society of the OK and the companionship of the blow?
 In that strata between the ages of sixteen and fortv-6ve are 95O.- OO0 women working as farm hands and many of them with sucking babes tugging at their breast, as drenched in pc1spira- ton, they wield the scvtlle and guide the blow What is to be- come of that nation where pover- ty breaks the crowns of the queens of the home; despair hurls a mothers love from it's throne and hunger drives inno- cent children from the school room 10 the hoe?
 The census bureau shows that l55 ,000 of these women are forty five years of age and over. There is no more pitiful sight in civili- zation than these saintly mothers of Israel stopped with age, drude- ing in the field from sun until sun and at night drenching their dingy pillows with the tears of despair as their aching hearts take 1t all to God in prayer. Civ ilization strikes them blow when 1t should give them . crown. and their only friend i: He who broke bread with beg. gars and said: Come unto me all ye that are weary and heavy laden and will give you rest
 Oh, America the land of tlN free and the home of the braves the worlds custodian of chivalrv, the champion of human rights and the defender of the oppressed shall we permit our maidens fair to be torn from the hearth stone by the ruthless hand of destiny and chained to the plow ? Shall we permit our faithful wives, whom we covenanted with God to cherish and protect, to be hurled from the home to the har- vest field, and our mothers dear to be driven from the old arm chair to the cotton patcho
 In rescuing our citizens iron, the forces of civilization. can we not apply to our fair Dixieland the rule of the sea-"women and children frst?'
 There must be a readiustmcnt of the wage scale of industry SO that the woman can be taken from the field or given a reason able wage for her services.
