Secretary Hays Of the Greenwood
Business League has received letters
from Superintendent J. J. Pelley, Of
the Y. & M. v, R. R., at Memphis, and

ger service, especially during the pres
ent week.

ger train service on schedule time, and
that they realize the importance of
this during the Holiday season.
The Southern official, while stating

CHICAGO PROVISIONS,
APPLE AND COFFEE ENOUGH
FOR BREAKFAST.

New York, Dec. 18-(By Union As
sociated Press)-People who follow
the diet experts are complaining ter
ribly about the decisions Of the spec.
ialists. 1t seems as if the experts
look over foods and pick out just the
things one does not like or care about
"An apple and coffee are ample for
breakfast" says one optimist, "and,'
he adds, "if one can ACQUISITION
Himself to no breakfast, better work
and health will result" Man cannot
live on apple along and certainly there
is no nourishment in coffee, therefore
the diet specialists seem to be getting
into the bad graces of their adherents.
Tonight at the banquet Of the dieti-
tians, a number of patients" whose
appetites are. much more robust than
their digestions will voice the plants
Vt fellow sufferers and tell the experts
to go to and ia, ia, with such trash.
For the holidays they are going to eat
and drink, for after New Years they
may die.

TRAINMEN TO WATCH PENNSYL
VANIA LEGISLATION,

Harrisburg, Pa, Dec 18-(By I'm
ion Associated Press)-nterests Of
the railroad brotherhoods here threat
en- to come prominently before the
next legislature which begins next
month. The same committee that had
charge Of the case two years ago
when the sharp fight occurred over
the "full-crews" repeater will be at
the helm. So far as can be learned,
the railroad men are not certain
whether they will have any extraor-
dinary work on their hands Of not this
winter. Some Of them state that the
railroads again will make a deter
mined effort to pass the Baldwin
"full-crew" repeater, which was pass
ed by both houses in 1915, only to be
vetoed by Governor Brumbaugh, while
other predict that some other form Of
legislation unfavorable to the men will
be attempted.

COTTON EMBARGO
BRINGS PROTEST
Greenwood Business League Appeals
to Interstate Commerce Com.
mission For Relief.

Protesting against what j. regard.
|ed as unjustifable discrimination
against. cotton shipments from this
territory to New England points, and
asking for relief from such harmful
handicap, officers of the Greenwood
Business League have today sent the
following communication to the In
ter State Commerce Commission at
December IS, 1916.
Hon. Interstate Commerce Commits
sion,
Washington, D. c.
Gentlemen:-In the interest Of the
entire business community Of Green
wood, and of the cotton shippers es-
pecially, we appeal to you for relief
from the unjust embargo on cotton
shipments to points in New England
and more especially to points reached
via the New York, New Haven &.
Hartford Railroad.
This embargo on the shipment of
cotton, which is as you know, our
money crop, has effect to demoralize
all business to say nothing Of the ex-
traordinary expense upon cotton buy
ers, who having their cotton ready
for shipment, are unable to move it
and as consequence have to pay in
terest, insurance and storage, all Of
which would be Immediately cancelled,
provided they could secure bill of
lading for shipment. 1t is an outrage
upon the community and should not
be permitted, and we appeal to you
as our only protection against this
iniquity and ask that you take the
matter up in such manner as to bring
to an end this outrageous proceeding
on the part of the eastern roads.
In this connection, the writer has
seen a letter from a representative
of one of our largest railroad systems,
stating that they could not take cotton
for New England points reached by
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad but could easily take !,
lumber. We cannot see and do not
believe there exists any reason why
there should be this discrimination
between the two commodities.
We earnestly pray for immediate re-
lief and awaiting your advice as to
any action you may take in the mat
ter, we remain,
Very respectfully yours,
GREENWOOD BUSINESS LEAGTIE
