: New York, Aug. 1.-THE possibii-
ties of a nationwide railroad strike
affecting 100000 employees and tie
ing up more than 100000 miles of
railways doomed nearer today unless
a settlement is quickly reached,
when Warren S. Stone, grand chief
of the brotherhood of locomotive en-
gineers, declared the men were grow
ing more and more restless.
I'VE must have immediate action, -
said Stone. Carrying a strike vote
around in your pocket is like carry
ing a stick of dynamite. You can
never tell what is going to happen.
This controversy has dragged along
so that our men are growing impa-
tent. If it had not been for the
earnest plea of the brotherhood pres
idents, this controversy would not
have been submitted TO the mediat
ors. But our plea to give the gov
eminent officers a chance to see
what they could do finally prevailed. "
When asked whether he thought
an attempt would be made to arbi-
trate the difficulties, Stone shook his
head and said:
1.-THE members of the United States
board of mediation and Cancellation
are the personal representatives of
President Wilson, and that fact car
ries with it considerable weight; just
how much remains to be seen. If
this board is unable to reach some
settlement, it is doubtful whether
any other board or commission can
do So"

RAILROAD MEN WON'T LET THE
NATIONS BABIES STARVE

Washington, Aug. 11.-No starv-
ing babies, no frantic cities perish
ing for lack of milk and food, will
result from a strike of 100000 rail-
road men.
If the railroad managers are
counting on public opinion, aroused
by starvation conditions, to force the
men back to work, they will be mis-
taken.
That is the information that comes
to Washington.
Railroad men engaged in passen-
ger traffic are not involved in the
present controversy, and the best in
formation is they will not strike.
Milk, express and mail go on cars
attached to passenger trains and
these classes of traffic would not be
interfered with.
Mail trains, it is believed, will run
as usual. And sufficient farm pro-
duce can be transported by express
to take care temporarily of the food
question in the cities.
If the men are wise enough to see
that the public is not Inconvenience
more than is absolutely necessary,
while at the same time they cause
large loss to the roads, public opinion
is expected to win the\strike for the
men,

Owing TO the fact that so many
people have the Lyceu course con
fused with course that is being

wish to explain matters and make
both courses clear TO every one

brought here by committee OF citi-
Izens OF the town. If they should
be anything over the expense of
bringing the course here it will be
applied on a deficit that exists from
the last course. which lacked sew

Both eoures have their distinct

SOLID CAR LOAD OF
OLIVER PRODUCTS
For Haywood County Farmers Receiv-
ed by Balm Weddington Co.

Balm Weddington Co. have just re-
ceived their annual carload shipment
from the Oliver Chilled Plow Works,
South Bend, Ind.
The great popularity Of this line of
farming implements is evidenced by
the fact that it has been on the market
in Haywood county for the past forty
years, and a great army of farmers in
this section have the utmost confidence
in anything marketed by the Oliver
people on account of actual expert
enee in the use of implements of the
Oliver make-experience in many ca
ses of years and years of service.

Indications are that the demand for

unprecedented, and it is hoped that
farmers will lay in good supply Of
these implements while they can be

the material that enters into theil
