Advices from Washington are that
the President will probably not re-
commend an embargo on food pro-
ducts, as requested by middlemen and
manufacturers, in his annual message
next month. This sounds plausible.
The President no doubt feels some
what indebted to the American farmer
for those necessary electoral votes,
and will scarcely so soon, if ever, re-
pay the obligation by obstructing the
sale and limiting the market for food
member far enough to recall an en-
barge on exports by Congress. If such
action is needed to check the unceas-
ing rise in living costs, why confine it
to those products? If an embargo at
all, then one on paper would be very
gratifying to publishers, and one on
leather, hides, boots and shoes would
be profoundly appreciated by every
body not in the production of these
articles. If Congress is to intervene
in the increasing cost of living by
prohibiting expectation of goods, it
should not limit action to farm pro-
ducts. seeing that if there must be any
)ne class more benefited than another
by the war, it might better be the
farmer, for whom the government has
rot often done much in return for the
axes paid by him. But there is no

She sits at one end of the seat, he

fears her hands are cold, and he takes
one of them in his. He talks to her

SOUTHERN RAPIDLY
GETTING INTO SHAPE
Whole System VIII Have Resumed
All Trains by End of
Week,
NO NEWS FROM MISSING MEN
Bridge Workers Have Probably Met
Death in Raging Torrcnts--Other
Lines But Little Affected.

Reports received here yesterday by
the Southern Railway Company .ndi-
cate that the water in North and
South Carolina, which did great dam
age and caused the company to tenn
porarily discontinue it's Southern
trains, Is rapidly receding and work
will begin immediately on repairing
the bridge at Belmont. In the event
the rivers fall several feet by this
morning a large force OF men will
set to work getting the bridge and
tracks in shape and it will be only a
matter of a few days before business
operations over the entire Southern
Railway system can be resumed.
The Southern Railway has suffered
more from the floods than any of the
other railroad companies entering
Richmond. The trains from Rich
mond to Atlanta and New Orleans
had to be suspended Sunday, only the
trains from here to Asheville being
able to make the regular trips. I'm
less something unforeseen crops up
1t is very probable that business can
be resumed not later than Sunday.
Tho workmen who were engaged on
the bridge and who were found to be
among the missing after the flood
have not yet been heard from, &C
cording to information received here
yesterday. While the concensus of
opinion is that they went to their
deaths when the food swept over that
section of the country. there Ia prob
ability of their being in some isolated
place, shut off from communication
with their families and friends. None
of the bodies have been found, up to-
this time and there are still hopes of
their being alive.
Business has been resumed by the
Atlantic Coast Line, Norfolk and
Western and Seaboard Air Line Rail-
way Companies. The following tele-
gram was received here yesterday
from c. S. Campbell assistant gem
eral freight agent of the Atlantic
Coast Line:

The foods did not interrupt traffic

the trains had to contend with high
water at times. However there are
