THROWN FROM FREIGHT TRAIN

An H. & T. C. brakeman had a close
call for his life when he fell from a
swiftly moving freight train Saturday
night between Bryan and College. He
claims to have been thrown from the
train by tramp who was stealing a
ride and for whom he was looking.
When he struck the ground he rolled
down an embankment, but fortunately
was only slightly bruised. 1t was a
through train and the brakeman was
not missed until the train reached
Hampstead. An effort was made to
catch the tramp, but so far he has
not been apprehended.

there and what he saw affected him than it did
me- He told me what hard time he had when he was
boy. We often talked about the children. From be-

the children would be benefited if they could have a
gymnasium. The evangelist enthusiastic over the
idea but neither of us had the means to build and
equip gymnasium, so we could only talk over the
good it would do.

FARMERS URGING
 THE HENRY BILL
Will Insure Reasonable Prices for Cotton. Guarantee Market
 and Reduce 1915 Crop.

Washington, Sept. 21.-The legislat- i've committee of the National Farm CTS union, composed of President e.. s. Barrett of Georgia, Peter Radford of Texas, H. s. Mobley of Arkansas, k. w. Dabbs of South Carolina and T. J. Douglass of Missouri, today an nounced that the importance of pass ing the Henry bill will be urged upon every member of congress by Farm ers' union leaders throughout the en- tire country.
 This announcement came after a lengthy conference between the farm gross who are behind the measure.
 The bill referred to was introduced by R. L. Henry of Texas on August 6 and is now in the hands of the com mittee on banking and currency. This bill was drafted with the assist ance of prominent members of the National Farmers union and is un- derstOod to meet with the full ap- proval of President Barrett.
 It is claimed by advocates of this bill that the passage of the measure will insure reasonable prices for cot ton and other farm products, guaran- the crop of 1915.
 Since the refusal of administration officials to give direct aid in financ- ing the cotton crop, it is understood that the farmers have centered their attention on the Henry bill as tenn porary relief measure.
