About a quarter OF a century
ago DR.. Kilmer's swamp Root was
introduced by me in this locality
and the people who have used it
during that time have been very IA
yOrably impressed with results.
From personal experience L am
pleased 10 state that I believe il
TO be very good medicine. and
IL is my opinion that il possesses
splendid curative value in the all
ments for which IL is so highly rec
by the large number Of
people who have taken II.
Very truly yours.

To say that a man buys or sells a
horse with intelligence implies that the
man knows the horse in every detail.
Farmers Bulletin 779, published by the
U. S. Department of Agriculture, gives
these details This bulletin may be
secured from the Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee, Knox
vile.
Among the suggestions made in this
bulletin are these:
The soundness of horse is one OF
the first considerations of the buyer
and should be Of the breeder. If the
animal is not sufficiently sound to with
stand the use for which he is intended,
the logical time to learn Of this is be-
fore the purchase.
Selections must be based primarily
on a thorough, systematic examina-
ton; the examination should be based
on a clear knowledge Of desirable and
undesirable qualities.
Not only the presence of unsound'
ness, but also the condition or seri-
BUSINESS Of the unsoundness, should be
noted.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1917-04-26
IN SELLING A HORSE FROM YOUR FARM
IT IS WELL TO RECALL THESE Things Kings

Temporary unftness should be dis
tinguished from permanent unsound-
ness.
A hurried examination is likely to
prove a disappointment.
Observe blemishes, vice, faulty con-
formation, unsoundness, and general
characteristics.
Common bIemishes are scars from
old wounds, poll evil, scratches, shoe
boils, and small ruptures.
Common vices are halter pulling,
cribbing, kicking, stall walking, weav-
ing, and biting.
Common faults of conformation are
straight shoulders, crooked, weak, or
improperly set legs, eve neck, long,
weak back, and dropping Group.
Common unsoundness are splints,
thoroughpin SPAWN, curb, extreme
fstula, ringbone, side bones, extreme
atrophy of muscles, contracted tendons
and broken wind.
General characteristics include flesh
ing, temperament, quality, color, and
age.
In final selection, look for the good
Qualities and weigh them against the
defects.

FREIGHT CLAIMS PAID
PROMPTLY SAYS HARLAN
Member OF Interstate Commerce Com.
mission Praises The Railroads.
NOCAUSEFOR JUsTCRITICISM
Mr.. Harlan Tells Freight Claim Asso.
citation of Surprise of Commission
at Excellent Showing as to
Prompt Payments

Washington, D. C.-(Special.)-
Where the claims of shippers against
railroads are well founded they are
paid promptly, declared Commissioner
James 8. Harlan of the Interstate
Commerce Commission to the mem
bers of the Freight Claim Association
in an address In which he told of an
investigation made by the Commission
and the surprise Of It's m@Enbers at
the excellent showing as to prompt
payments made by the railroads.
Before taking my seat" said Mr..
Harlan, Il wish to make a very frank
confession. During the course Of my
ten years service on the Commission
so many complaints had come to me
of the delay in the payment by car
riers of the claims of shippers that
l had come to think that the matter
Of ,claits, u tustments was a very weak
spot in 'ou9 railroad administration.
l was, therefore, particularly interest
ed in the suggestion that interroga-
tons should be addressed by the COM
of ascertaining, among other things,
the length of time taken by them In
settling the claims OF shippers.
1.-THE results that were tabulated by
the commission on the answers return
ed by the carriers about a year ago
were so surprising to me and to my
colleagues and were considered by us
Of such importance that we at once re-
ported the facts to the Congress as
useful public information. l wish to
congratulate the association on the
showing made.
1.-THE trouble with US was that we
had made no distinction between
claims that had been dOsliAsd or that
were without merit sAS therefore still
pending, and claims that were weA
founded and had been promptly g.
justed.
THE shipping public should know
that instead Of being weak spot In
the railroad service, the work of your
association has been so systematized
as practically to eliminate all reason
able and fair criticism"

CLOSE MARGIN OF PROFIT
IN OPERATION OF RAILWAY,
Large Amount OF Capital Risksd For
Very Small Returns
OF VITAL INTEREST TOPUBLIC
Investors VIII Not Provide Money Tor
improvements Unless They Are
Assured a Reasonable Profit
on Their Investment

Atlanta, Ga-(SpeciaL)-The close
margin Of profit for a railroad under
present conditions is strikingly shown
by figures submitted by President Har-
rison in the annual report Of South
ern Railway Company for the fiscal
year ended June Both, 1916. In the
most prosperous year Of the Compa-
nys history the net operating income
| 1921, ,005.09) represented only 6.31
per cent on the investment (s395, 722,-
785.O6) in the railroad and equipment
which produced IT.
1T may perhaps be said" said Mr..
Harrison, that there Is no industry ex-
cept a railroad in which 30 large q
capital is riSked for such = return in
its most successful year."
At time when the newspapers dai-
ly are printing articles in regard to
increasing railroad gross earnings, as
indicating q rising tide Of general
prosperity, 1t IL well to bear in mind
the very small return on money in
vested in railroad property.
Many persons are misled into believ-
Ing that the railroads are fabulously
prosperous by the mere size of the fig.
ures in which the earnings of large
railroads are expressed, but it should
be remembered that an enormous sum
OF money was required to construct
and equip their plants and that the
return on each dollar invested ia rela-
lively small
1t is manifeStly in the interest of
the employees Of q railroad and of
the public served that the railroad
secure new capital for additions and
improvements to its plant so that it
may give better service and offer en-
larged employment. However, this
can be accomplished only by allowing
the railroad to earn an amount on
the capital already invested sufficient
to promise return on the additional
capital desired.
Governmental agencies may depregs
rates and enact restrictive legislation
which will deprive the man who has
already invested in railroads of a fair
return on his investment, but no plan
has been devised for forcing the man
with money in the bank to put It
into railroad construction or improve
ment Unless the Investment appears
attractive to him and offers a fair
return he will put his money In some
enterprise that cannot be affected by
governmental agencies.
Every employee Of the Southern
Railway and every shipper served by
1t who recognizes his true interest will
do what he can to insure such a re-
turn on the capital now invested in
the Southern Railway as will make the
securities Of the Company more at
1ractive to investors, so the Company
will be able to secure the additional
capital needed to carry on a consist
emily constructive program which will
mean increased prosperity for every
interest in the territory served by it,

Garment workers here are out on
strike, asking primarily for their re-

can protect their members and also
for increased wages which they GER
tainly should get. Judge Baldwin,
who is paid only $4,000 a year (gar-
ment workers who get One-tenth. that
much could be numbered on the
fingers of one hand), has issued an
injunction forbidding the uniOnists
from doing almost everything except
to live in the same city with the
strikebreakers. Several items as re-
ported by the papers will sufficiently
show the arbitrary power assumed
by this Judge. The garment workers
cannot watch the garment fac

From doing anything subjecting
those who stayed at work to criti-

won only by using all possible means
Of social pressure to keep the work
ers away from their machines. The
above clause if enforced would kill
all labor organization. It is the duty
of every liberal, of every working
man or woman and their friends to
help the garment workers carry out
their defiance of an injunction which
so grossly forfeits the freedom Of
speech and action won at so great a
