Hungerford, general superintendent
of the Southern Railway, today de-
clared that 'tif the Southern Railway

"Uncle Reuben is awake" said Mr.
Campbell, tand those who have been
blaming him for the high cost OF hV-

or with threats. We are simply 60
ing to submit a program and demand
that those who serve US in congress
adopt it. If they do not, we are not
going to carry a red flag, distribute
dynamite or talk about revolution.
All we will do is to fire our repre-
sentative is, if we are strong
enough to do so.
eff we can't get votes enough tc
fire him, we will 60 ahead with our

get enough voters to agree with US
to assure his retirement to private

Hungerford, who claimed that the
Southern Railway was unable to con-
struct an overhead bridge at GER
tain point between Greenwood and
Hodges on the Columbia and Green
vile road. The reply of Mr.. Hunger
ford follows in full: "Replying to
your letter of the 10th inst, which
related to the construction of an
overhead bridge as requested in our
letter of the 10th inst. AS stated in
our request, it is the commissions
understanding that this overhead
bridge would eliminate at least four
very dangerous crossings-probably
five. That this will be a benefit to
the travelling public is foregone
conclusion; that it will be greater
benefit to the Southern Railway it
seems could not be reasonably ques-
toned; it is an indisputable fact.
eve cannot be contented with the
excuse that the railway company has
no funds with which to carry on this
work. If there are no funds, why?
If it is necessary for the public to
pay higher rates to protect life, let
the question be properly handled.
This commission does not desire TO
Cypress but protection must be had.
eff the Southern Railway Co., is in
such financial straits that it cannot
protect the public which is forced to
Cross it's tracks-not of its own will
but because this company saw fit to
construct and maintain a railroad
track through this locality, and at the
same time protecting itself against
loss, then it is time that the proper
ty should be liquidated and 60 into
the hands of people who can and will
afford proper protection.
"Your recent letters along this line
have not been at all satisfactory to
TIE commission, and if you are not in
I osition to handle this matter AMIGA
lily please be kind enough to so state,
and the commission will undertake 10
find someone who can do SO. Unless
you can give us something definite,
you will be requested to appear in
person before this commission on
next Wednesday. In short, h the
commission has authority along these
lines, we wish to know it; equally so
if we have no authority. We cannot
dicker or evade when human life is
at stake"

FARMERS PLAN WAR.
Kansas City Star.

Kansas City Star.
Washington. The American farm
er is going to fight his battles, cover
ing what he considers his economic
and legal rights, in the chambers and
lobbies of congress. He is going to
battle openly, using all his political
and financial powers, and his oppon-
ents will either surrender or be ami
hilated. There will be no compro-
mise. 1t will be a finish fight.
In statement prepared by the ma
tional board of farm organizations a
clear declaration of war is uttered.
The statement speaks for itself and
is as follows:
"Men in public life have been
warned that the national board OF
farm organizations has decided to
become a fighting force. This notice
was served on them at the final ses-
sion of the congress yesterday. No
longer satisfied to be merely an edu-
cational organization, imparting in
formation to it's members on matters
affecting their interests, the board is
going into politics.
'It will not 60 into party politics,
but, like the Anti-Saloon league, will
operate through all parties. 1t will
be bipartisan, interpartisan or nom
partisan.
Having won it's fight for the re-
peal of the daylight saving bill, the
national board of farm organizations,
through the 20 or more organizations
united with it, is going to make the
intensive drive for the right of col
lective bargaining. Every represent
tative and every senator will be tab
bed; card 'indexed and .canvassed.
Gall will be told that the farmers,
irrespective Of party inclinations and
affiliations, will expect them to vote
right on matters affecting agricul-
ture." =. -.a..
Milo D. Campbell, chairman Of the
board, said, the organization would
be careful.:to demand nothing but
what is right. But once satisfied that
q demand has real merit and is in-
bedded in the bowels of justice"
they will insist that the representa-
tive or senator vote to grant it. Mr..
Campbell said the farmers had very
few demands to make, but these are
fundamental and affect the interests

After eating anything would always have gas on my stom- ach and would constantly belch up my sour, undigested food. I suffered with heartburn constantly and was ex- tremely nervous, my liver was slug. gish and I was bilious, too. I felt languid and tired out most of the time and often felt so bad that I could hardly attend to my business properly.
 "l heard so many people praising Tanlac that I began taking it, too, and by the time I had finished my second bottle l had gained nineteen pounds. Inever suffer now with heartburn or indigestion and am not nervous like l was before, I sleep well and get up in the morning feeling fine and ready for hard days work"

Then Big Bertha started bombarding the city and the authorities killed all the deadly snakes. in fear that, shell might set them loose and endanger human lives. While the officials were debating whether to kill or move the lions the bombardment ceased. The snakes killed have been stuffed and are on exhibition.

 The departments at Washington reaadjustment following this war. Every period of inflammation is fol- lowed by period of deflamation. We are not burying our headhin the sand as blind optimists, although we had rather be blind optimists than blind pessimists- What We are fighting for is that the readjustment shall not be brougth about wilfully in a harmful way, but rather that we shall do what is possible to retard it so that the change will be made slowly and no one will be harmed. By so doing, we can be sure to provide a mattress for bothe labor and capital, and at the same time have the fighting chance that We can slave ofh trouble to- gether.
 Therefore, Washington is optimis- tic; we are not trying to make two and two add five; but are insisting others shall not represent two and two as making only three.
