In the threatened strike of four branches of railroad employes, the railroads of this country face one of the most serious problems that has confronted them in many years. The demand of the Engineers, Firemen, Trainman and Conductors is for an eight-hour day and compensation and a half for overtime. The vote %as announced yesterday afternoon ar.d it showed a prepon derance for a strike by an average of about ninety per cent, in the vent the railroads refused the de mands. The dispute between the railroad men and the railroads is about to come to a climax that will be far-reaching in its effects. It will mean either a strike or com pensation demanded from the rail roads by the men operating them. a its last analysis it is a matter that will seriously affect all branch es of industry in the entire country, a strike the measure of which has been seen in this country. It will tie up business, take employ- lent from hundreds of thousands f men and bring about a serious cessation of all railroad activity, as it affects its employees and the pa trons. It is a matter that is portent in its great power and should be I carefully studied by all people like ly to be affected. The railroads, in supporting their contention against the* raise in wages have flooded the country with Mterature and with advertisements bearing on the subject. They seem to have succeeded fairly well in pre senting their side to the people of file entire country. T’ae railroad men, with no such facilities at their disposal have not been able to reach the public on their side of the matter. The prepon derant sentiment of hundreds of thousands of men appear, however, in. 'he count of the vote. It is not a .natter settled by heads of Brother hoods, or men in authority. It is a lirect word from the men them selves; those who will be most ser iously affected and it shows beyond *he shadow of doubt that the ma jority of them are firm in their con viction that they are demanding something that is their due and they are willing to back up their conten tion with their positions. No more convincing proof of the seriousness of the matter could be adduced than by this vote. It is so compelling in its force that there can be no man who would dare think that it is not o**dered by whatever wisdom and discretion thousands of individuals, in co-operative torce, have been able to exercise. We are not sufficiently posted with the affairs under contest to form a judgment that is based upon all the facts or conditions, but there is no juestion b. t that the railroad men ire united in their opinions, that they have investigated it thorough ly and they have given each man a fair and unbiased chance to express his opinion. Their opinion in a mat ter of this kind is wo"th more than the vaporizing of thousands who have neither investigated or are in fluenced by other than personal con sideration. We can but hope mat an amica ble settlement can come but we very frankly do not believe that a strike can be averted unless the rail roads give in to the demands of the employees. We believe, in the face •f certain loss and the predominant power of those making the demands that the railroads will give in when (all hope of increasing their earnings | by a refusal to raise salaries, has | vanished. ! The matter, according to today’s I news dispatches 4 will be submitted ! to arbitration, both sides agreeing, las a court of last resort, in order i that if there is any way of settling j the matter it may be done, thereby 'averting a general strike. | It is a most serious matter, and joue that we each have a right to be • interested in. We have the wage- , earners fighting for their rights, ;and the wage-payers fighting to cir cumvent them. The power of the .one cannot be underestimated, nor jean the forpe of the other. It is a .matte- too far gone for traffioing or j variation. It 1b a fight to the fln- • ish, and one that will be seriously , felt unless it Is adjusted.

The following opinion of the coun ty attorney read and unanimously adopted: Thomasville, Ga„ Aug. 7, 1916. Mr. W. A. Pringle, Chairman, Of the Board of Commissioners of p oads aad Revenue of Thomas County, Thomasville, Ga. Dear Sir: I do not think that Mr Weldon has any claim against Thom as County, on account of any bal ance due on the monument erected Captain Triplett in the Court House yard. I do not understand that County Commissioners employ ed Mr. Weldon to put up this monu ment. In fact, I do not think that the County Commissioners have any authority to spend money raised by taxation to erect monuments. Even the Legislature has no such author ity. When the monument to Genera: Gordon was erected on the Capitol Square the bill appropriating the money therefor recited that the same was for the purpose of orna menting the Capitol grounds. I con sider this to have been an evasion of the Constitution. Of coarse, the County Commis sioners might evade the Law, in some such way as this, but. I do not consider that any effort ha-3 been made to do so. Yours truly. W. IRWIN MacTNTYRE.

I cannot telljrou how I suffered with tny head, and with nervousness and womanly troubles. Our family doctor told my husband he could not do me any good, and he had to give It up. We tried another doctor, but he did not help me. At last, my mother advised me to take Cardui, the woman's tonic. I thought it was no use for 1 was nearly dead and nothing seemed to do me any good. But I took eleven bottles, and now I am able to do all ol my work and my own washing. I think Cardui is the best medicine in the world.
