ing over-eating. violent exercise un-
necessary exposure to cold and wet

an individual who is sneezing or
coughing. If one is suffering from a
bad cold they should hold hand

COZ. SMITH DIES
AT ORANGEBURG.
State Warehouse Commissioners is Ill
But Week.

Orangeburg, Feb. 9-Col. Waffle
Gilliard Smith, State warehouse COM
missioner of South Carolina died at
his home on North Railroad Avenue
here at II o'clock this morning al
ter an illness lasting about week.
Col. Smith was in good health until
about a week ago when he was strick-
en- with an attack of influenza devel-
oping rapidly into serious case OF
pneumonia.
He was elected State warehouse
commissioner in 1917 and had served
continuously since. He was one OF
the best posted men upon the sub
iect of warehousing and marketing
cotton in the South.
Col. Smiths death at this time is a
great loss to the state and TO the cot
ton farmers generally. He had great
ly developed the warehouse business
of the State. Col. Smith was one oil

State. His marked ability and his ge-
nial personality made him a host OF

4 Plea for Physical Culture.

Editor Herald-So many OF our
boys and girls seem not to appreciate
the value OF some foIm OF exercise TO
aid in physical culture. No matter
what line of work person intends
following after the completion OF
his scholastic or collegiate work, he
should carry with him a strong BODY
that will cause him to be healthy and
not so easy to take all kinds of di-
seaSes.
If there be man in any kind OF
work that should take private gym
.mastic training, should he not be near
"a public y. NJ. c. \. or some other
such OrganiZation--it is the man
works indoors. In the OftiC. the air
is not usually fresh and healthful,
and surely fresh air is vital TO our
physical welfare. In order TO have a
strong mind, We must have a body
that is also strong, for usually man
does with his hands and the other
parts of his body just what his mind
determines. So, in training the MIND
that is-giving to pupil his i'll
tellectual and moral { raining that
causes its development, a great stress
should be laid upon some form OF
systematic physical culture.
Often times men who work out
doors do not utilize their entire body,
but simply their hands, and yet they
cannot understand just why they
should take some regular exercise.
We have our chests To develop, and
in fact. all the muscles OF the body
should be used that they might be
able to work in u case of necessity. In
playing foot ball, boys find muscles
they never before knew they had,
simply because they were never used
before.
Just as the men Of our army must
take their regular exercises every
morning before doing the drilling OF
the day. so should the pupils Ol
every school be put through some
form OF gymnastics every morning
before exercising III" mind in the
class room until late in the afternoon,
As We develop our int"llccts.. Our
morals. and intact. our characters. VI
morals. and in fact. our characters. We
might the better be able to ward off
diseases and carry ont our daily line
of work.
Sincerely yours

RAILROADS FACING
CRITICAL CRISIS
or 1000, 90 EMPLOYEES
FOR MORE MONEY.
4 Officials Receive No.
tice Of Shop Workers Pro-
posed Strike.

Washington, Feb. 10-The railraad
administration nearing the end OF its
control over the nations rail trans
portion system, tonight faced crit
ical situation with respect to the
wage demands OF more than 2,OOO,-
600 employees. Conferences tomorrow
between Director General Hines and
leaders of the workers unions prob
ably will determine the outcome Of
the situation.
Officials of the unions submitted
to the director generl at today's meet
ing a new statement which served to
open up all important questions, on
which the two sides were at variance,
and will require further discussion
before a settlement can be reached,
Mr.. Hines informed the union leaders
he would reply tomorrow to their
new statement of claims.
Meanwhile, w. G. Lee, president Of
the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men, was pressing Mr.. Hines for an
answer to the demands OF his indivi-
dual organization and insisting the
trainmen were ready to strike unless
a satisfactory settlement was reached.
Railroad administration officials al
SO received informal notice that they
must contend with strike called by
the Brotherhood of Maintenance OF
Way Employees and Shop Laborers.
Furthere than admitting that he
had given the railroad administration
the required thirty days notice Of in
tention to cancel the present wage
contract on February %, Mr.. Lee de-
clined to discuss the plans of his Or
ganization. The strike vote taken
under his instructions was said TO
show large majority of the train
men favorable to a strike.
