WHAT WILL TE DO WITH my CHILDREN?

Who die in the cyclones path.
For they are thine own, thy kindred,
Thy children, as they are mine,
Blood of thy blood, heart of thy

Gaze on the ruins and see
Inasmuch as ye did this crime to

Ye have done it, o, world, to me.

Thunders Gods voice to-day.
'Will ye let the millions perish,
Or save them while We may!
If We heed not the vail of my children
Nor stop their hunger and pain,
Ye shall answer to me in the future,
Shall pray to me all in vain.
Ye- who are wrapped in plenty,
Unless ye give from your store
In bountiful, joyous measure,
I shall answer your prayers no
more"
They have dared dispute my purpose
To foster the peoples lust,
Hath brutally torn my torches
And quencl1ed their flame in the

Yet, ye who are guiltless hearken!
l shall scourge you with whips of
wrath
Unless ye rescue the children

Danger Signal.

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help
put out the fire? 1t is much the same
way with a cough. A cough is a
danger signal as much as a fire bell.
You should no more try to suppress
it than to stop fire bell when it is
ringing, but should cure the disease
that causes the coughing. This can
nearly always be done by taking
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Many
have used it with the most beneficial
results. It is especially valuable for
the persistent cough that so often
follows bad cold or an attack of
the grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching,
Andrews; Ind, writes: During the
winter my husband takes cold easily
and coughs and coughs. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is the best medi-
cine for breaking up these attacks and
you cannot get him to take any
other" Obtainable everywhere.
Our Primroses never were finer for
Christmas.

ing that auction bridge is taking up so
much of the women's time that the hus

band sits at home while wife is out

ing, at quarter of cent a point.
The women were never very crazy
about bridge until they began to gam
Bile, and now, so they say, they had
rather play bridge than eat.

WILL CONSIDER RATE
INCREASE IN GEORGIA

Macon, March 2S.-The joint meet
ing of commercial traffic managers,
who have invited many large shippers,
merchants and manufacturers through
out Georgia to join them promises to
be largely attended, as various COM
mercial organizations of the larger
department of the chamber of com
merce that they will send representa-
tives to Macon March so. The rail
road commission of Georgia has called
on the various railroads of Georgia
for data, which is intended for use at
the hearing of the several matters in
yolved in the petition of carriers.
Means Higher Rates.
The railroads have petitioned the
commission to adopt the south clas-
5ification with certain exceptions,
which would make higher rating on
many staple articles, and besides the
Georgia commission would loose its
power to set up any such changes in
classification as commerce in the state
might authorize from time to time.
Some shippers are Directing to the
adoption Of the southern classification
in any form.
1t is notable that the rates on lum-
Der, sugar, molasses, soap, starch and
a number of other commodities will,
under the present rate, be about %
per cent higher On few articles the
present rates are asked to remain I'M
disturbed but in the main both class
es and commodities are advanced enor
mously.
The matter to be solved at the mees-
ing at Hotel Dempsey on the Both, at
10 o'clock, a. m, is to get at the truth
rs to the necessity OF such increases
as is proposed, and to determine
whether or not the peolpe Of Georgia
can stand a $5,OO0OOO increase in the
cost of living, which will be added on
account of cost of transportation.

RAILWAY BROTHERHOOD

wide effort to force the railways OF
the country to grant further wage con

to in any way give better service tc
the public" declares the executive
committee of the Southwestern Rail
ways in a statement given out today
1.-THE demands of the BrotherhOoGs
are generally referred to as demands
for an eight hour day and time and
half for overtime, but they are not in
reality for an eight hour day in the
sense in which that term is commonly
understood" the statement continues.
THE employees are not asking that
they be relieved from service at the
end of eight hours, as they realize that
this is not practicable in road service,
md the form in which the demands
have been made clearly shows this.
Thus the language of their own pro
posed demands is that on runs of one
hundred miles or less, overtime will
begin at the expiration Of eight hours.
This means that if freight train
REQUIRES, as it usually does, at least
ten hours to run 100 miles, the train
and engine employees shall receive
their days pay for eight hours OF work
and shall receive time and half for
the two additional hours.
