Bapxlnd Falls to British.

London, March 1.-THE fall of
Bagdad into British hands has been
officially announced. The occupa-
tion Of the city followed continued
pursuit of the Turkish armies for
the past week. The Turks had re-
treated from position to position, at
tempting to make a stand at several
points, but were dislodged after brief
but stubborn resistance at each point.
While great political Importance
is attached to the capture Of Bagdad,
the military results of the notable
event are Of even greater immediate
interest, pointing to the possibility
Of comparatively speedy linking up
Of British and Russian movements
against the Turks.

are bilious, nervous, upset, bothered
with a sick, gassy, disordered sto-

worn-out. Are you keeping your
bowels clean with Cascarets-or
merely forcing a passageway every
few days with salts, cathartic pills or
castor oil?
Cascarets Immediately cleanse and
regulate the stomach, remove the
sour, undigested and fermenting
food and foul gases; take the excess
bile from the liver and carry off the
constipated waste matter and poison
from the bowels.
Remember, Cascaret tonight
will straighten you out by morning.
A 10-cent box from your druggist
means healthy bowel action; clear
head and cheerfulness for months.

Richland Rustic: Hardly day pass
es but we hear someone advocating
public ownership of the railroads
This is nothing more than absurd when
considered in the lightof how the pub
lie manages the things it already owns.
Tie railroad lines are nothing more
nor less than highways, The present
management of railroads has so sue
cessfully managed those highways that
they can haul you aud for ? cents a
mile. The only way this cheap ser
vice was ever gotten was by good man
agement, We have public ownership
of the county roads. How are they
managedy We don't do like the rail-
way companies, spend $40 to save $40.
We save $40 and spend $40. 1t costs s
cents a ton a mile to haul freight
that is our produce to market in Rich
land county. The railroad companies
carry it for l cent after they get hold
of it. II is our opinion that when we
have been more successful in handling
what we already hold in public owner
ship, then We can be excused for talk
ing about taking over the ownership
of some more things. Our hands are
full enough with the public road pro-
position right now.
