SOMETIIWe OF mrOIIK
£!ditori News:
Is not this the time for yon to
hear again from Oak Grove, the
nnion Sunday school and the good
people of that sarronnding conn-
try? Yes^ this spot called Oak
Grove church has the oldest build*
ing standing for worship in all this
oonnty, it being ereot>d in the
year 1852.' Some of these good
folks 24 years ago (40 in nnmber)
came together and called the
writer to take charge of a nnion
Sanday school at this chnrch, and
this call was agreed to and work
began at once with an earnestness
of heart in the Master’s name.
One year ago there were 130
names on the Sanday school roll,
and 135 were to prepare presents
for the Christmas tree. This year
each memt>er of the school agreed
and did pay one penny into the
birthday box for every year of age
they were at their bi»*thday. As
these days came around the snm of
$35 00 was the resnlt of tnis olan to
defray the expenses of a Christmas
tree for the children and parents and
ko for those that needed help in
onrcommnnity. And my! Eye hath
not seen nor ear heard the things
this tree was burdened with. After
it was well decorated *ables. boxes
and benches bad to be nsed to ac
commodate room for the presents
fnrnish^^y the committee for 187
folks. deceived two and three
present^^ch, making over 260 by
the committee, and 60 by the teach
ers, superintendent and scholars,
making in all 320.
Now, dear editor. I do wish I
had or conld bo allowed space to
tell you about onr program of
songs, recitations and speechmak-
ing and the names of speakers and
subjects; how they held the con
gregation and bow they cheered.
North Brevard and Oak Grove
folks have much to be prond of in
the way of talent that is beginning
to show np from these children in
mnsic, recitations and speechmak-
ing.
With best wishes for you and a
happy New Year, I am yours for
the Master,

CALOMEL SAUVATES
AND MAKES YOU SICK
Acts Like Dynamite on a Slug*
gish Liver and You Lose
a Day’s Work.
There’s no reason why a person should
take sickening, salivating calomel when
50 cents buys a large bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone—a perfect substitute for calo
mel.
It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid which
will start your liver just as surely as
calomel, hut it doesn't make you sick and
can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson’s Liver Tone, because it is per*
fectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is
mercury and attacks your bones. Take a
dose of nasty calomel today and yon will
feel weak, sick and nauseated tomorrow.
Don't lose a day's work. Take a spoonful
of Dodson't Liver Tone iattead and you
will wake np feeling great. No more

Washington,The Congres
sional Joint Committee on Interstate
Commerce, which has been conducting
the Inquiry into government regulation
and control of transportation, last
week decided to suspend its hearings
on the subject and adjourned, subject
to the call of the chairman, because of
the pressure of other work before Con
gress. According to the resolution cre
ating the committee, it is required to
submit a report by January 8th next.
It is understood that before that time
the committee Will ask for an exten
sion of time and that the hearings will
be resumed at a later date, when some
of those who already have appeared
before the committee will be question
ed further and a great many others
will be heard. It is prolmble, howev
er, that the hearings will not be resum
ed until after adjournment of Congress
on Maroh 4th. In addition to regular
routine business the commerce com
mittees of the two houses are charged
with the important duty of preparing
ami presenting the legislation asked
for by President WIlsou to make im
possible a railroad strike without pre
vious Investigation. ThLs will leave
little or no time for the consideration
of the general questions of railway
regulation.
Country Wants Something Dona.
Members of Congress and others
who are interested in the inquiry un
dertaken by the Newlands Committee
insist that there is no intention of
abandoning it.
It seems doubtful, indeed. If the
country would permit the matter to
be dropped If there were evidence of a
desire on the part of Congress to do
so. The nation-wide evidences of In
terest evoked by the initiation of the
Newlands Inquiry show that the peo
ple of tlje country—shippers, consum
ers and investors, as well as railway
men th'Semselves—are alive to_the fact
/dghly un
satisfactory and that steps must be I
taken without unnecessary delay to |
make it iK>ssible for the railroads to I
meet the growing needs of the nation.
From reports received here it seeing
as though almost every commercial or-'
ganization and business interest in the
country were engaged in studying the
railroad question. The Chamber of
Commerce of the United States has
been conducting an elaborate inquiry
into various phases of the subject for
many months past. Many local and
state commercial bodies in every part
of the country have committees en
gaged in study of the problem and
have indicated a desire to come here
and present their views. National or
ganizations of manufacturers, lumber
men, coal operators, wholesale and re
tail dealers, have expressed through
resolutions their desire for the unifica
tion of the system at railway regula
tion. The National Industrial Traffic
League, speaking from the viewpoint
of shippers using the railways, has
indorsed exclusive federal regulation
providing it is accomplished in such a
way as to give full protection and
prompt adjustment in matters relating
to transportation within the states.
Many Intaraata Studying Protifam.
All these organizations represent pri
marily the shippers of the country, but
they are not the only ones who are
taking a hand in the discussion. The
investors of the nation, through their
own associations and through commit
tees representing the savings banks and
other financial organizations, are pre
paring to show the necessity of improv
ing railroad credit and protecting the
rights of those whose money Is invest
ed in railway securities. Finally the
railroads themselves, being vitally con
cerned in the improvement of existing
conditions, are planning to submit their
views through their executives, q>er-
ating officials and traffic experts and
to assert their willingness to accept ter-
reaching federal regulation along lines
that will enable them to attract cairftal
and to provide the facilities needed for
the promi;>t and efficient handling of
the countr;r 'a transportation business.
Main Trouble Is Too Many Masters.
Not all of ttiese interests are In ac
cord as to the remedies that Should be
adopted. There seems to be a general
agreement, however, that many of ttie
difficulties whicb confront the ndhroads
and which make It Impossible for them
to meet the requirements of the
tion's commerce promptly and satisfac
torily arise from the haphasard iuid
often conflicting measures of regUlatton
that have been adopted from time to
tUne by the federal government and thie
for^-d^t states and that what is
needed is a well ordered, systematic
scheme of federal regulation that akall
cover the wh^e country and make it'
possiHa for tha railroads to provlda tha
