Indigestion and constipation are
two conditions that are closely rel

Lines from Lenud.

Lenud, August 2S:-The storm
did great damage here and the rains
that fell after it almost finished up
the crops. Farmers couldn't walk
in their fields for two weeks, and the
water washed up the cotton in some
places and drowned it out, while
unless they get some help it looks
corn was fiat on the ground. The
writer has never seen anything like
before. The garders were all ruin
ed, and the cotton that is left is
shedding off all the shapes. There
won't be one-fourth of a crop made
down here. The freshet came and
the crops on the Santee river and
Cedar creek were completely runied,
and many people had to moye. It's
very dark and gloomy down here
for the farmers; their crops are all
lost and many of them have no work
to do at which to make a living, and
it looks like many will suffer.
The work that the Government
has done on the roads was a great
help to the men, both white and
colored. who were able to do that
kind of work. but no help to men
who are not able to do it and there
are a good many of this class.
The protracted meeting at Gour-
dins Chapel will start the second
Sunday in September. The Sunday
school and preaching were stopped
on account of the freshet but have
started up again.

DEMANDS OF R. r. TRAINMEN
Wage Increase Of s1oo,ooo,0oc Year
Would Have to Be Borne by Public.


The train service employees Of all
railroad lines in the United States have
united In a demand for new basis OF
nav for all men engaged In operating
trains. except those in passenger serv-
ice. At the present time they are paid
on the basis Of ten hours Of time or
100 miles Of distance, whichever gives
them the higher pay; and every man
receives a full days pay, no matter
how short a time he works.
The trainmen now demand that, In
Ill but passenger service, O the pres
mt ten hours pay shall be given for
light hours. or l"ss, with guarantee
Of a full days r. :, no matter how lit
lie service is pc formed; (2) overtime
70 be--in after c'ght hours. instead nf
after ten hours. and to be paid for at
one and one-half times the hourly rate.
These demands would increase the
hourly rate Of pay 25 per cent, and the
overtime rate S71a per cent
They also insist that all special extra
pay provisions In the 10-hour schedules
shall be included In the proposed
S-hour schedule.
These special rules frequently give
double pay for the same service, and
enable the employees to earn two and
three days pay in a single day of
ordinary working hours.
AS the increase for all the lines Is es
timated to amount to S1OO0CO,00o n
year the railroads say That they cannot
pay it unless they are allowed to in
crease freight and passenger rates.
The average wages Of the men en-
gagged in train service are already very
much higher than those Of other EN-
ployees and they receive 2S per cent Of
the total payroll although constituting
only 1s per cent Of the whole number
of railroad workers.

WHAT THE CATTLE TICK DOES.
Reduces the Value of Our Beef
Herds One.Half.

Herds One.Half.
Washington, D G., August 21:-
The average value of beef cattle
over two years old in ten tick-infest-
ed States-North and South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi,
Florida, Louisiana, Arkansas, Okla
homa and Texas-was $3.50 on
January /, 1915. For the remain
der of the country on that date it
was $4S.47. In Georgia and Florida
the average price was $18. in Ala
bama $40. in Mississippi s22, in
South Carolina $23, in Louisiana s24.
In every tick-free State. with the
exception of Vermont and Tennes-
see, the average value was $40 or
more and in eighteen the average was
over $50.
There are two reasons why cattle
in a ticky country are worth less
than in a tick-free one. They weigh
less and they bring less per pound.
They bring less because they cannot
be sold on the open market, but
must be disposed of in quarantine
pens for immediate slaughter only.
Experienced dealers estimate that
buyers offer from fifty cents to two
dollars hundred weight less for
cattle from below the quarantine
line and the owner, who cannot
transship his herd to another market
or sell the animals as feeders, is in
no position to stand out for better
price.
Ticky cattle weigh less because
they are scrubs to begin with and
because the tick sucks the blood
they need TO make flesh. Expert
ments have shown that when the
ticks are abundant they will take in
the course of the year 200 pounds of
blood from thousand-pound steer.
They don't take it all at once, of
course, but they take it nevertheless
and the steer, in order to live, has
to make new blood. While he is
busy at that, he is not likely to put
on much weight. Fattening ticky
steers is like trying to keep a leaky
barrell full: there is.a lot of waste
in the process.
Furthermore, as all cattlemen
know, there is more money in grade
stock than in scrubs. Elsewhere in
the country farmers are turning
their attention to grading up their
herds, to securing animals that will
respond to good treatment ard feed;
in the tick-infested sections of the
South this has been impossible for
no one will risk bringing pure-bred
bulls into ticky county to die from
Texas fever.
Both directly and indirectly, there
fore, the tick keeps down the weight
of southern cattle and the eradica-
tion of the pest is essential if the
southern beef producer is to COM
pete on even terms with producers
elsewhere. The matter is as vital
to the sma farmer as to the large
cattle owner. Students of agricul-
ture are all agreed that the average
southern farm today has too little
stock upon it for it's own good. The
reason is obvious. Under the con-
ditions created by the tick, cattle
raising is not a sufficiently attrac-
tive industry to appeal to the aver
age man. Without the tick, the
business assumes different aspect.
This has been abundantly demon
strated in those sections in which
the tick has been eradicated. AL
most Invariably the ticks disappear
ance is accompanied by an increase
in the quantity and an improvement
in the quality of the county's live
stock,

 GREATLY INCENSED Citizens Planning To Ask City Council To Pass Ordinance To Protect the Birds which
 Are Familiar Sight,

The pigeons of Juneau are being killed and several of Che business men are up in arms over Che matter Many of the businessmen along Front Street have made regular practice Of feeding the birds and they have become SO tame that they light on the shoulders of people and feed from their hands or mouths.

Since that time they have been increasing until there were about 100 of the birds Now less than 20 remain through the action Of those killing them or for food pur- poses.
 Robert Scott w. P. Lass. George Burford. John Spickett and others have made a practice of caring for the birds during the cold winter months and they are incensed over the acts of the vandals. Under the city ordinance the pigeons are not protected while sea gulls, crows, and ravens are.
