James C. Knox

Seldom has this community been
more shocked at death OF one Of its
residents than it was Tuesday after
noon when James G. Knox was strick-
en- with apoplexy while engaged at the
Harvey Gin in having some bales Of
cotton moved. MIR. Knox seemed in
usual good health right to the moment
be was stricken and in spite of his ad.
vsnced age he was one Of the most
alert and active men 10 the community.

lima, grew to manhood there, entere d
the service of the Confedei ate army
with his neighLors from that state and
served thruout the four years of war
fare, and one of his comrades said of
him yesterday after he was stricken,
that braver soldier never went on the
battle field. And TO the very hour of
his death he cherished the memory OF
his service for the Lost Cause. 1t was
nothing uncommon for him to meet u
friend and say to him "54 years ago
today so end so happened or ''53 years
years ago today was with Stonewal
Jackson at SO and so," his splendid
memory and in flee interest in the ef-
forts :of his country eaabling him to
keep such track of war happenings
as few could do.
After the war he came to Fayette
county and has been one OF its trusted
citizens since then, He was first
mechanic and contractor and among
other works here be helped to
build the present courthouse. For many
years he has engaged in the ginning
business and has long had the reputa-
tion with large part of his cientel
as being one of the most efficient gin
men in the country.
Mr.. Knox early affiliated with the
Presbyterian church and for long
time has been one of its most active
members and one of its most regular
attendents. He was good neighbor,
a good friend good citizen and be
will be missed in the community. When
called bv his sudden death he was ap-
preaching his eightieth birthday, ripe
and venerable age.
He leaves no members Ct his immedi-
ate family in this section except his

Knox was Miss Dora Woodruff.

Claim Filed for
$1,250,OOO,0OO
RAILROADS PUT IN HUGE CLAIM
AGAINST GOVERNMENT FOR
DAMAGE DONE ROADS, ETC.

Railroads have attempted to collect
81 ,25O, 100000 from the United States
railroad administration.
In submitting the claim the road
managers charged in effect that the
government during federal control of
the roads failed to get it's moneys
worth from labor employed at high
wages.
Director General Davis of the rail
road administration who is adjusting
the claims, denies the charge of the
railroad managers, declaring that the
government owes them not more than
40 per cent Of the amount claimed,
$5O0,OOO,0OO. Some roads have al
ready settled for 40 per cent Of their
claims.
The basis for the claims is the
promise made by the White House
when the roads were taken over that
they would be returned in the same
physical condition in which they were
received.
To carry out this promise the rail-
road administration wrote into its
contracts with the roads, which were
signed at the beginning of federal con-
troll, clauses under which the gov
eminent was to spend as much for

Beneficial ii Northwest.

Minnesota points will share proper
tionately in the proposed freight rate
reductions on Western railroads. This
territory comes under Group F." and
is therefore included in the classified
ton in which reductions have been
proposed.
The Northwest is not likely to gain
SO large a share of good from the re-
auctions as extreme eastern or west
ern points But undoubtedly the re-
duction will have considerable eff
feet in this territory.
The reductions by railroads were in
evitable, as water competition was cut
ting heavily into the business. In
some cases, commodities were moved
by water from Pacific terminals
through the Panama canal to eastern
ports, and then were moved by rail
several hundred miles inland, at a
cheaper rate than if they had been sent
direct by rail.
Freight traffic experts explained
that the new rate reductions will give
consumers some relief on prices of
California fruits and vegetables, and
canned goods from the Pacific coast,
as a result Of eastbound reductions.

LINES OPERATING WEST FROM
CHICAGO REDUCE COSTS TO
PACIFIC COAST POINTS.

Reduction of freight rates on Ger
tain commodities, approximating 20
per cent has been decided upon by all
transcontinental railroads west of Chi
cago.
This decision was reached at meet
ing of executive officers of all the
roads affected. The reduction was
decided upon to enable the roads to
meet the competition of the water lines
operating through the panama canal.
The westbound rates, it was de-
clared have been checked to apply
from points in eastern defined trans
continental territories, to Pacific coast
terminals only.
The new eastbound rates will apply
to beans, peas, canned salmon, canned
goods, condensed milk, dried fruit and
other commodities. The proposed
.westbound rates would affect canned
goods, oil cloth, drugs and medicines.

"For years." said Mrs. V. B. Os-

condition; nervous, weak and dizzy. I
was actually so nervous that any sud-
den noise or excitement would produce
palpitation of my heart that fright
ened me. I absolutely could not
climb stairs, for to attempt such would
thoroughly exhaust me.
81 had nervous headaches and when
they came on it seemed that an iron
band was drawn tight around my
head. I now shudder when think OF
those headaches. My stomach was
weak and I could not digest the light
est liquid food. Any food of solid
nature caused nausea and the slcken-
ing sensation remained for hours.
"My misery was almost 'unbearable.
NV sleep was never sound and I was
worn out all the time. My condition
was indeed a very deplorable one. I
finally sought treatment in Cincinnati
but nothing helped me one particle. l
was on the verge OF giving up in des-
pair when neighbor pleaded with me
to try Tanlac / obtained bottle OF
the medicine and began its use.
"I began improving at once and
soon felt my nervousness and dizzi-
ness disappearing. Then my head
aches left me and l realized my
strength had returned. My appetite
and digestion improved and I am now
so much better in every way. This
Tanlac is wonderful medicine and
the only one that ever really helped
me. l hope every poor woman who
is suffering as I did will try it"

We all know what he meant, but in this age, when OPP
imism about life Is a religion, We commonly reject
the dictum. We say that it Is good to live, and If it
is good to live, the more we have of life the better II
must be. we-have amehorated the conditions Of life
We have abolished cold by warming our houses We
have multiplied all the adiunets Of comfort We have
pat ourselves, not only with our comforts but our
theories as to the duties Of life, under a sort Of obh-
CATION to regard the mere prolongation Of existence
as a desirable thing.
But strangely enough, at the same time that we
have added to the span Of life we have taken much
from the donors, the compensations and the immunt-
ties of age. Age is less respected than 1t once vas.
We have Topped of its dignities and robbed it CT its
leisure. The obligation Of the young TO guard and
care for the aged is no longer generally recognized- In
its place, we have set up the theory thst the old should

sequently should ned only care for themselves, but
should not mind being regarded as obsolete and even
as laughable- The blaming patriarch, n little tyran-

who goes to his business every day. and possibly, by
so doing, contributes to the welfare of those who are
younger than he. .D
"If n couple Of added decades bring nothing better
than twenty years Of added labor and responsibility,
those who receive the gift OF the rounded century may
be inclined to doubt whether the longer span is, after
all, a boon. They may. on the contrary, quite heart
lily agree with the Psalmist, finding their added
strength but labor and sorrow.T
