ONE DOLLAR YEAR. OFFICIALS STILL UNDECIDED RAILROAD STRIKE OK NO RAIL ROAD STRIKE. Question Still Open and the :.-:iroael Say They Can't Decide in a Hurry Looking Into the Matter of lUte Increase in Case of Fight Hour Pay. The railroad officials are still in Washington debating whether they will agree to President Wilson's iIan of settlement with the men or not. It ha become known that in their conference with President Wilson the executives pointed cut that since it was his view tli.it the eight-hour day is approved by society, apparently it eventually must be extended to oilier railroad employes and to those i:i other lines of endeavor. An estimate of the ultimate cost was given the President. President Wilson Is said to have taken the position that the freight rate increase would be forthcoming because the weight of public opinion will back the eight-hour day. and will also back any plan to give the railroads the revenue to piovlde for the added expense. Wednesday's Conference. Washington Dispatch, Aug. 23. In another effort to aid the presi dents of the country's railroads to And some way in wuich to accept an eight-hour day for trainmen and avert the threatened strike, President Wil son tonight conferred for one and a half hours with President Hale Hol den of the Burlington, Daniel WU lard of the Baltimore & Ohio and It. S. Loveit of the Union Pacitic. Neither White House officials nor the presidents would discuss the con ference. It was said on authority, however, that the three railway exec tives went to the White House to receive an answer to the suggestion they made to Mr. Wilson last niglil that he give them more specilic in formation as to how the railroads may get additional revenue necessary to take care of the greater pay rolls that will come with the eight-horn day. Earlier In the day President Wilson di-ius.-cd the iniiioud situation at length with Senator New lands and Representative Adamson, chairman ol the two committees of Congress ill charge of legislation affecting inter state commerce. Their visit was the consequence of that of the railroad men last night. The two chairmen are taid to have agreed that the presi dent's position in the preseut situa tion was right and to have said that every effort could be expected in Con gress to put through any legislation which might help solve the present difficulty and provide for the future. Increase Freight Kates. One of the means of recouping sug gested by the President to the rail roads in his public outline of the position was through an increase in might rates. It was pointed out to night that the President cannot di rectly tisk tne Intel-stale Commerce Commission to Mailt increases to the railroads. Congress, however, might pass a resolution directing the com mission in vltw of what it considers an unprecedented situation to giant higher rates. Congress also might pass a resolu tion directing the commis.-don to in vestigate all matteis Involved in the present controversy and the whole put in operation on all the railroads and their employe. One result ex pected from today's conference is an early eiioit to pass the bill introduced several months ago to increase the commission's members from seven to nine. It became evident tonight that most of railroad executives have come to believe that there can be only one way of preventing a strike and that it is by accepting the eight-hour plan. The chief effort in their own confer ences today was to find some scheme by which an eight-hour day may be put in operation o nail the railroads at the least added expense. Many suggestions aleing this line have been made by presidents, but no one of them has proved feasible when sub mitted to the acid test of operating officials. Deliberations Take Time. At the conclusion of their confer ence tonight with the presidents and managers Hale Holden, president of the Uurlington, and a member of the committee of eight, gave out the fol lowing statement: "The railroad executives who have met here at the request of President Wilson are proceeding as rapidly as practicable with their work. It must be understood however, that the problem with which these men are wrestling is the most Important and gigantic ever presented to any body of men In the Industrial history of the country. They cannot, therefore, consistently with their duty to their security holders, their employes, or the public, make a final conclusion regarding what action on the situa tion they should take without much discussion and thought. These de liberations, participated In by prac tically 100 men, suddenly called to gether from all parts of the United States, require time. "If our deliberations seem to pro ceed slowly it is due to the facts that I have mentioned. For us to act hastily would be a betrayal of the great responsibility we owe to 11 the parties concerned, and most of all to the public. As the conf-encet- continued today It became more evident that the principal dif ficulty of the situation Is to work out a plan of action acceptable to all the railroads. Many suggestions have come from the 60 or more presidents here and have been laid before the managers." l-.mploye Show Dixunten:. During the day the representatives of the railroad brotherhoods gath ered in Washington at the invitation of President Wilson showed further evidence of discontent aud a desire to gel away. At their session today many speakers de-clared that the presidents were playing for delay and that uo good to the men could come from such a policy. ISrothcrhoou officials were plainly concerned over this development, and some of tne leaders felt there might be a gen eral exodus of Friday night ir there were no indications tl:on that a set tlement was ia sight. pagfland m:vs. Mr. Allien l.oainl Millers Sei'oii- In jury TliiiHiu.li ii l-V!

O.liec lieins, Page-land Journal. .Mr. Albert Leaird. whose home is near Angelas, was seriously hint when he fell into a bole at the Page land Oarage last Wednesday nigiit. and Saturday all hopes of saving his life were given up. His condition improved, however, by Sunday and ii was seen that he could live. A wind storm came up Wednesday about night, and Mr. Leaird was holding a light for Mr. Roy Funderburk to run an automobile into the garage. He was walking backward ahead of the car when he fell into the hole the workmen use in getting under the cars, striking his side agalust the edge of the floor. He was rendered unconscious for some time, and it was found that he was hurt internally. He was carried to the home of Dr. 11. C. Moore where he remained until Sat urday afternoon. He grew worse and was carried to Miss Threatt's hospital here. Dr. Me-Leod of Florence was summoned to perform an operation but when he came he agreed with the local physicians that he could live but a short time, and no operation was performed. Miss Threatt. splendid nurse that she is, began to treat him and a change for the better was notie able in a few hours. From that time he has steadily improved, and now he is well on the way to recover. Mis. J. W. F.lkins brought a Mango to this oflice Monday morning. No. it is nut an animal nor tin insect nor a fish, but a fruit. Her son, Mr. Will F.lkins who lives iu Florida, sent a basket full of till? tropical fruit to his parents he re. The mango is ob long in shape; yellow or yellowish green in color; has a thick rind and a hard central stone. A taste for the fruit must be cultivated. Mrs. It. L. Smith is spending this week with Mrs. 0. M. Smith in Mon roe, the latter having just returned from a Charlotte hospital whore she underwent an operation on her foot. Demonstration Agent W. J. Tiller has received a quantity of seed from the National government for distri bution among the people who were left practically destitute by the reu out raius and Moods. Those who are en titled to share in this must be in very needy circumstance's. If there are any such in this section they may meet Mr. Tiller at Pagelanel next Fri day and confer with him. There may bo those who are practically without crops or means to purohsse seed. If so they should see Mr. Tiller at once. Mr. Koy MeColl left Monday for Newport News, Va. From there ho expects to sail for Europe. It will be' remembered that he started once be fore, but turned buck be'catise of the activity of the Oermnn submarines. Health Minis.

A mild case may spread tho Infec tion all over the country without it self even be'ing suspected. There are three kinds of foods protelds, starches and fats, which must be wisely mixed In a wcll-hal-iiueed daily ration to sustain and strengthen tho human body. Too much deprived of any one of those, we become diseased. If wo daily lake any one of tnose In excess for a time, disease will result. Vegetable proteids are bi tter for one's body than animal proteids. Proteids increase blood pressure and all of Its associated evils whe'ii taken in excels. This is especially true of meat proteids. Parents indulge their children too much. They let them stuff thrice a dav until they are ns stupid as an ostrich or an idiot. They expect them to learn rapidly at school and yet they become angry ir their children are not allowed to run home at noon and tank up on lndige:tlbles. They want to give the animal propensities a noonday chance to assert themselves. The teachers can tell you how stupid they are after taking. The development of adenoid growths In the throats of children is due to overeating. Imprudent eating, bad ventilation, bad sanitation, bad hygiene and to kicking off the cover and becoming chilled in the cooler after hours of the night. The first and the last causes are the most po tent, and especially over eating. Gluttonous eating causes hypostat ic or passive congestion of every small vein and every capillary of the body. Is it any wonder that these very vascular mucous surfaces reach a condition of chronic congestion. Children should not sleep with grown people. Their blood Is one de gree hotter.

A host of old friends gre-eteu hint Sunday at Bethel where he gave three forceful and helpful messages. At the morning hour his topic was making a living and making a life. Among other things, he said: "A man's life consistcth cot in the abund. ance of things which he possesseth." He showed how men and women are rushing pellmell here and ehere in! muu iuiruil Ul mull, j uuu i'ith.-u,.. These are not the things that abide, he said. There Is no secular and sa- cre'd work in life aud living has bee n all wrong. There is no separate standard for preacher and pe w. We must place all the duties of lite in the same category and perforin all our tasks as unto God if we would make our lives glorious and sublime. Mul titudes of people are making a living, but they have not found the life. "I am the way, the truth, and the life," said Jesus, and all strong and victo rious life must come through a con scious knowledge of him. Christ came that we might have an abundant life and he offers the only solution for the many complex problems of the age. At three in the afternoon a well filled house greeted him again, when he spoke on the temperance question. For over an hour he de nounced "booze" and the boozing in terests. Almost every phase of the question was discussed, and the argu inetns of the antis repudiated. The evening topic was "life's realities." Much of modern life is sham and hy pocrisy, the preacher declared. Jesus said very real and practical things. We see Him often in the book In a scathing denunciation of the false and the shams of society. "Scribes, Pharisees, hypocrits" were the words of Jesus and I say reverently he was the most sensational preacher of all time. Prayer, the divinest preacher of the soul, must be one of the most real things in the life of the christian. H you cannot pray it is because your life is out of harmony with God. The prayers of a ilghte'ous man iivaihth much: but righteousness is the one' ne'cessary condition to an effective prayer-life. This come's through keep ing' the spirit, and not the letter of the law. Enoch walke-el with God and Good took him. Mary had commun ion w ith her Lord as bhe, listene d at His feet. Peter, James and John had real communion with God on the mountain top, and we hear Peter spe-aking enthusiastically "it Is good to be there." The real lite is a matter of relation to Cod. The little watch in my hand is in perfect harmony with the groat clock in yonder city tower, so with our little lives if in harmony with the great divine life. Faith is the open hand of Ood ex tended from heaven to lift you into the right relation with him.

Berlin alo report further advance's for them on the richt wing where they face the K.Thhins. Aiinarcnt v. however, no action of first importance has yet de veloped. Interest in the attitude' of the Greeks has been heightened by dis patches telling of tho determination of the Greek commander at St ies t i resist the Bulgarians and of volun teers being organized for his assist ance by the Venizelos leaders at Sa loniki. There has been no further develop ment In the Rumanian situation. The last report from Berlin maintains that Rumania has not reached a decision. On the Western front the French are apparently marking time while the British push against Thiepval and Gulllemont. The British report a fresh tightening of the ring around Thiepval In the capture of 200 yards of German trenches south of the town. Bitter fight s is going on In this section. The Germans succeed ed in entering some British trenches but according to London were Inime lately evicted. The fierce struggle around Floury, in the Verdun sector, continues. The French claim "an approaching ad vance" between Floury and Thlau mont and the capture of 200 prison ers. Conflicting claims are made by Berlin and Petrograd on the fighting on the eastern front. Both report the capture of positions near Jablonltca Pass, where a violent struggle has been In progress several days on the crest of the Carpathians.
