to run from Winston-Salem to Gull
ford college and to Greensboro, then
through High point, Thomasvllie,
Wallburg, Lexington, Spencer and
Salisbury. At the latter city it is
proposed to hare the northern link

' THE OOTTQJi SITL'ATJOX.
The wlseoess, if not the actual
necessity, .pf the farmers of the
south marketing their cotton over
a period pf 12 months Instead of n
brief season of three or four month
in order to hold up prices and to
prevent the credit curtailment plan
of the federal reserve board from
serving to lower tb price of the
staple, Is stressed in a lecent issue
of the, Manufacturers' Record. Says
tbis periodical:
"English cotton experts at the

"Betrayed In the housn of Its
euppoeed friends, its credits cur
tailed by the action of tho board,
the south must face a tremendous
fight to protect Its cotton against all
enemies, open and secret. The
planters should, after paying their
debts, hold their cotton and store It:
knowing full well that if they as
sert their power they can Control
the marketing of. their staple.
"The age-old custom of rushing
cotton to the market In the fall only
played Into the hands of the buyers,
who, having forced prices to the
lowest point,' stocked up heavily,
and then prices advanced, to their
profit but to the loss of the growers
"Let the south hold its cotton and
market it slowly, during 12 months.
Instead of in four, and the producer
will then soon hold tin whip handle
and no longer be driven by the lat:h
of the buyers. At the same time
the south should give its attention
more largely to diversified agricul
ture, raising a full supply of food
stuffs, for its own nse and to add to
the nation's fold stores, making
cotton a surplus crop. For a quar
ter of a century the ManuaftcruerV
Record has sought to drive home tho
idea that every southern farmer
should raise his own foodstuffs and
then plant In cotton his surplus land
only. In that wiy lie prosperity
and safety, and In that way only."

RAILWAY WAGE AMI RATE IN
CREASES. "Since the recent order of the In
terstate Commerce commission au
thorising the railways of the coun

passenger fares, came only a few
days after the award of the railway
labor bjard, giving increased wages
to certain classes of railway labor,
there has been a tendency in some
quarters to confuse the two," say?
a statement Issued by the .Southern
railway system. "A few days ago,''
the statement continues "a south
ern editor was asked: 'If the rail
way employes receive an increase in
wages amounting to S625.000.000
and rates are advanced so as to yield

Q. Could you give me some infor
mation on why a person's heart would
beat so fast and thump so hard at
the least little exertion, or .after a
meal or at night when a person first
lies down. It thumps real hard for
short time and then Isn't notice
able. What for a diet should a per
son eat?
A. It is not possible to say merely
from, your letter why your heart
should beat so fast and thump so
hard after exertion. It la quite cer
tain, however, that you should at
once go to a good physician and have
him give you a thorough examina
tion; especially an examination of
your heart.- Rapid heart action and
the thumping which you describe us
ually Indicate that the, heart is be
ing pushed beyond its limit. If this
occurs only after slight exertion it
almost always mean? that there is
something wrong with the heart. So
much can be dene by properly regu
lating .he mode of life that a person
suffring from symptoms .you de
scribed should not ddur a minute to
place himself nnder prbper medical
care.
