Clifton, Tenn, Oct. 17.-Lying in
the arms of his assailant John Rector

seriousness from blow on an ak and
begged the pardon of the man who
struck him.
On Monday last John Rector and

When Rector recovered his wits he
asked who had hit him. Moser said:
Il hit you"
Rector said: "Well Bob, / don't

COMMERCE COMMITTEE
COMPLETES ITS WORK

Washington, d. c., Oct. 1S.-Per-
manent railroad legislation was adj
vanced step today, the Senate In
terstate Commerce Committee COM
pleting work on its bill for return of
the railroads to private ownership and
operation under strict government SUI
pervision and with drastic provisions
against strikes and lockouts.
The bill is to be reported out early
next week and placed in position for
Senate debate Immediately after dis
posal of the treaty of Versailles, with
leaders planning its passage next
month.
Antistrike provisions of the bill
provides fines of $500 or six months
Imprisonment, or both, for railroad
employees or officials or others con-
nected or participating in or aiding
strikes or lockouts. The prohibition
against aiding strikes was inserted,
committee members said, to reach
both radicals and labor leaders who
"aid, abet, counsel, command, induce
or procure" action toward strike.
In order that grievances of en-

committee provided for the establish

In its principal features the final

Interstate Commerce Commission and
a new federal transportation board.

THE NATIONAL RAILROAD
PREVENT ACCIDENT DRIVE.

Mr.. C. NJ. Anderson, Regional Sup.
ervisOr of Safety, Southern Region
makes the following statement.
"Plans are rounding into shape for
the safety" movement ever under
taken-the National Railroad Acct
dent Prevention Drive-to be staged
during the lasf two weeks of 0cto-
Der by all railroads, throughout the
country under government control.
The roads of the South are well adj
vanced in their preparation for par
ticipation in the drive, with full de-
termination to stand at the top of the
list of safe railroads when the record
is made up.
Experience has proved that the ma
jority of the railroad accidents are
avoidable; that a large amount of the
enormous toll of killed and injured
reported every year is due not to the
unavoidable catastrophes which at
tract public attention, but to the little
lapses from caution which causes
deaths of injuries here and there
every day in the year. Education and
constant training reduces the number
Of lapses, big and little, and the
preaching of safety during the past
few years has saved many a life and
limb. 1t was to demonstrate practi-
cally what can be done by the Direc-
tor General of Railroads approved the
countrywide campaign about to be
launched. Similar drives have been
conducted previously in the different
regions, resulting in convincing and
gratifying demonstrations.
The general drive will be directed
by A. F. Duffy, manager of the safety
section, division of operations, from
Washington, while Mr.. Anderson,
with headquarters in Atlanta, will
conduct the Southern Regions cam
paign.
One Of the first steps preparing
railroad employees Of the South for
the part they are to play will be the
posting of an October calendar with
the dates 18th to 31st in red in all
stations, offices, tool houses, shops,
cabooses and other places where they
will attract attention. Industries
along the lines will be asked to CO.
operate, especially in the way of re-
moving unnecessary hazards and
warning their own employees of the
danger ever present on railroad
tracks. Owners and drivers of auto
mobiles are also to be called upon to
help. Just before the drive begins
cards will be distributed among all
who can be reached, urging them to
be particularly careful in approaching
grade crossings. In ract, the aid of
the public generally is wanted, be-
cause, while the record will be made
as to railroad employees only, the
plan involves an intensified drive to
stop accidents of any character on or
about railroad property.

Blind Soldiers To
Have Real Training
How Uncle Sam Is Planning To Make
Handicapped Men Independent
And Happy - There Are Many
Things Blind Men Can Learn

BALTIMORE, January 15-(Asso-
ciated Press Correspondence Seven.
ty-one of the 200 men of the Amer
lean fighting forces who were blind
ed in the war now are being shelter
ed, treated or educated in the Red
Cross Institute for the Blind at Balti-
more. The institution has been desig-
mated as a United States general hos
pital and is called Evergreen. Col
onel James Bordley, director of the
institute said that all the Americans
blinded in the war would be brought
here for a course of training as this
was the only training school for the
blind maintained by the government.
He described the morale of the blind
ed men as wonderful.
The men are first treated in the
hospital, says Colonel Bordley in a
statement, after which they are
taught to use a typewriter and read
n write Braille-raiscd type for the
blind. Then they receive special
training to develop the sense of
touch.
After this fundamental hand train
ing, the men are given special educa-
ton to fit them for the calling in
which they are interested and are
qualified successfully 10 follow, says
the statement.
THUS, those with inclination and
the inherent ability are trained for
such occupations as stenographers,
statesmen, correspondents, retail store
managers. Gin connection with this
latter occupation, plans have been al
ready made to open d chain of retail
stores, each of which will have a
blind soldier as manager.)
Those with a love of out-of-doors
and have a natural aptitude for out
of-door life, will be trained for chick
en- raising, Bookkeeping, truck garden
ing and such like occupations. Those of
such calibre and a mentality that fits
them for industrial life are trained, not
merely in shop practice, but for some
particular Job that they can fill and
in which they will feel happy.
Men with a high quality of educa-
ton and ability that fits them for
professional life will be given such
special education as will enable them
to follow their chosen career-such
80 Ao", hL'Soo6OJ llISldIulc C.
Men who know say that the blind
is handicapped over the sighted,
80 percent. The men are being given
80 percent and more educational
training than their sighted fellow
workers, thereby minimizing this
handicap.
while a mar is being prepared for
this future career, the position for
which he is being fitted is being sec
ured. In a word, he is helped to help
himself-he is encouraged to equip
himself to be a good citizen"
The hospital is located upon the
large. adjoining estates of Mrs. T.
Harrison Garrett and Richard H.
Peasants on the northern outskirts
of the city, which were loaned to the
government by their owners. The
buildings are hidden lit the midst of
trees and gardens.

PEANUT CROP is SHORT

DALLAS, TEX, Jan. 20-(By AS
ISOLATED Press.)-A shortage of pea
nuts has resulted from unfavorable
weather conditions in Texas last
summer, according to big dealers
here. B. w. Higginbotham, one of
the leading buyers, said the Texas
crop this year would be only 25 per-
cent of normal.
The severe drought last summer
prevented farmers from raising more
than a small share of their usual
crop. The drought was followed by
excessive rains that caused damage
before the peanuts had reached ma
turity.
The government estimated showed
that 100000 bushels of peanuts
were raised in Texas in 1917. One
section which in 1917 produced 1000
carloads, this year produced only 800
carloads.
Conditions in east and south Texas
were better than in northwest Texas
which heretofore has been the princi-
pal district Of production.
