This Road Said to Be Taking

Keep Operating

Montgomery, August 22.-(Special)-In
the event a general strike is declared
by the railroad transportation employees
Of the country, it is reported that prepa-
rations are being made by Mobile and
Montgomery division of the Louisville
and Nashville railroad to take care Of the
situation. A report is in circulation that
the headquarters of the division here
have secured q list of go men who will
be pressed into service on moments
notice to replace such employees as Join
the strikers. An officer of the company
here did not deny that the division Is
looking out for any contingencies that
might arise if a strike should be called
but declined to discuss the matter at
length.
IT will say this much" he said I'VE
are not asleep; if a strike occurs we
will be able to handle the situation on
our division and our service will not be
crippled. We estimate that about 25 per
cent of the engineers and conductors
would walk out, and these can be re-
placed easily by experienced flagmen as
conductors and efficient hostlers and
white firemen as engineers. OF course,
none of our trainmen would strike as
they are not union men on our line. Our
men are all pretty we'll satisfied and
doubt IL any of them would want to join
the strikers
1t Is understood that the Atlantic Coast
Line would be crippled probably more
than any other line out of Montgomery
If a strike should be called. The prob
ability of a strike already has caused
this carrier to suspend the erection of a
modern freight depot and office building
which was to have been built on lot
Just off Bell street near the railway sta
ton. The building would have cost ap-
proximately $4,000. Work had already be,
gun and steam shovels were engaged In
leveling the lot preparatory to laying the
foundation AS soon as the agitation be-
gan, which threatened to tie up all the
railroads, the Atlantic Coast Line or
dered the work stopped and no progress

EUGENE ROUSE SAYS
HIS BEST FRIEND
DIDN'T KNOW HIM
Gains Is Pounds on Tanlac
and Looks Like Diff
ferent Man

Il have gained Is pounds since 1 be-
gan taking Tanlac and 1 look so much
better my best friend hardly recognized
me when l passed him on the street the
other day." said Eugene D. Rouse, who
lives at Monte Sano, Augusta, while talk
ing to the Tarlac representative a few
days ago. Mr. Rouse is prominently con-
nected with the Rouse Transfer COM
pany of that city, and is one of the best
known citizens in Augusta.
MY system was full of malaria con-
tinued Mr.. Rouse, "and 1 would have the
hardest chills ever heard of anybody
having. 1 had these chills so often they
began to tell on me and 1 honestly got
SO weak could not drive my horse. My
condition became SO serious had to COM
pletely give up and for a solid month
/ couldn't do any work at all.
81 got very thin and I'd have such
high fevers L would actually get out of
my head at times. l just ached all
over, and especially my back; it hurt me
all the time. To tell you the truth, as
the expression is, I felt like l had been
dragged through a keyhole backwards L
could hardly eat a thing and what l did
eat didn't do me any good. My father
had been taking Tanlac and as it had
done him so much good, he asked me to
give it trial, in hopes it would do me
some good.
II have taken six bottles of the medi-
cine and 1 am well man today. My
malaria has left me and L haven't had a
chill since the very first bottle. haven't
a pain or ache about me anywhere and
1 just feel good all the time. 1 never
have the fever any more and my appe-
tite is splendid. My meals agree with
me like had never been sick day in
my life I have not only gained 10
pounds, but am just as strong as can
be and I attribute my good fortune en-
tirely to Tanlac.
1T has absolutely made new man of
me and it certainly gives me pleasure in
recommending this medicine to my friends
and others who are suffering. Tanlac
has my heartiest Endorsement for it re-
iieved me of all my troubles"
Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu-
sively by Patton-Pope Drug Co., and Eu-
