I .oat March the nmmiKcniuiit of tho
Atlanta, Birmingham anil Atlantic roll
ronil served nollco upon its cinploycns
that, owing In a heavy ilccreiiso it) both
freight and pnaBcngar traffic and a still
heavier incroiiHn in operating expenses,
it would be forced to put into effect a
wage scale that would enable the
road to operate with Home chance at
least of earning expanses. This
nouncemeilt was accompanied by n state
ment from tlie general manager of the
system showing that, while tho shale
proposed was not aa high ns that in
offoet during the war period, it still was
about NO per rent, higher than the H“ulo
pnid prior to tho war. The reduction
wns not agreed to by tho employees, all
of whom seem to have been affiliated
with ono or another of tho several rail
road brotherhoods; so when tho railway
management sought to put (he now
senlo Into effect they struck, and arc
Htill out. Meanwhile, shortly after tho
strike began the railroad was, upon the
petition of creditor intorosts, pi need in
tho hnmlo of n receiver., and the re
ceivership is still in force. Meanwhile,
also, now men were employed to fill tho
positions vacated If) the strikers, This
necessitated a curtailment of tho sorvlco
a number of trains formerly operating
on rogulnr schedules being discontinued
•—mainly for reasons of safety. We say
“for reasons of safety,” because dur
ing tho strike period it is reported that
no loss than thlrty-threo attempts lmvo
been made to derail trains, dynnmito the
roadbed, burn trestles, and inflict other
damage upon the ■ road. In July, at
Fltr.gornld, an engineer wns shot, from
ambush while on his engine, and Iioh
Hinco died. A oouple of weeks ago, at
Manchester, two residences occupied by
present employees of tho road woro de
stroyed by flro. Those llros occurred
between midnight, and day, and on tho
•same night. A fow days later, nonr At
lanta, n^ freight train wns dynnmited,
causing tho dentil of the englneor and
his 'fireman.
Of course, tho railway brotherhoods
disclaim any responsibility for thoso
outrages. As n federation they may bo
entirely guiltless, and doubtleHH are, but
that ' certain lawless momboi>j of the
brotherhood nro guilty of these dastard
ly crimes is so obvious ns to leave no
room for doubt. No one would deny to
liibor the right to orgnnizo for its own
protection, and that all fair demands
labor may make should linvo equally
fair consideration is freely conceded;
but in resorting to violoneo to onfovco
those demands labor organisations lose
the sympathy and forfeit tho respect of
the public, and tho public is always n
forco to bo reckoned with. Just now
the public served by the A., B. & A. road
is nhnighty tired of brawling strikers
J>nd a crippled train service, and has
-about reached tho limit of its patience.
'One of these days before long it will
tise up and do something. A public
carrier has a serious and important duty
to perform, and, all- else failing, tho
public will undertake by definite meth
ods to see that it gets the service' to
'which it is entitled.

one in which he is receiving sonnt sup

appropriation for this nppondage, while
funds for the common schools, the State
Sanitarium and other nouessary institu
tions of tho Stato, wore out to a pittance.
The Crnwfordville Advocate-Democrat
bus some views upon the same subject,
and says:
“Now that J. J. Brown, Commission
er of Agriculture, has succeeded in lob
bying tho Legislature into giving him an
'ucronso of $65,000 per year for his
market bureau’ of the Department of
Agriculture, we presume he will begin
at once appointing more oil inspectors
and other nsoless officeholders in order
to fix up his fences for next year’s race
to%mcoood himself. Every membor rf
the Legislature who voted" for that ap
propriation, while voting nt tho same
time to cut the common schools of Qeor
gin n quarter of a million dollars, should
hang his bend in slmmc. Such notion wns
simply inexcusable.

appropriate $100,000 for the “ upkeep ’
<of this utterly useless department, and
■refuse a like amount for tlie care if tlie

Weather conditions have made mosquitoes worse than
they have been in several years. For health’s sake as well as
comfort and refreshing sleep they must be fought.
We have “Skeeter Dig,” “Sweet Dreams,” Walker’s
“Devilment,” Bee Brand Insect Powder and “Ni-Late.’
Some are intended to kill and others to keep off mosquitoes.
“Skeeter Dig” and “Sweet Dreams” are intended to keep
them off, and are practicable under all',conditions. The oth
ers are intended to kill and cannot be used to advantage ex
cept in closed room. The room may be opened immediately
after using. They are used to kill flies and other insects, also
Disinfectants should be used freely about the house and
lot. We have a well-assorted stock to meet all purposes and
requirements. Lysof, Creolin, Fecto, Platt’s Chlorides, Zo-
nite and Ziratol are good disinfectants in the home, while
Kreso, Sanax and crude carbolic acid are suited for the yard,
