AN EXPLANATION
FROM MR. L. E. BLACK
Editor Early County News:
I notice in your last week’s issue
that you carried an account from
the Doerun paper that I had all the
territory this side of Macon. This is
a mistake, as there *is lots of terri
tory that, is covered by special
agents and no one has control over
that territory but the special agent.
For instance, the territory that you
are in Mr. Vinson has exclusive con
trol over. I am only working in
the territory that is not filled by
special agents. I am not charging
you with this mistake, hut I would
appreciate it if you would correct
it that far for me. Thanking you in
advance. I am,
Very truly,
L. E. BLACK JR.
RUNNING SORES.
Gentlemen: Permit me to add my
testimonial to others for what Harris’
1-2-1 Blood Remedy has done for
me. My condition was critical. I
had running sores on my body and
my weight had been reduced to nine
( ty pounds. Had rheumatism in my
back and legs and used crutches to
get around the room. A friend gave
1 me two bottles of your medicine, tell
ing me it would help me. After
taking ten bottles all sores healed
and my limbs were free from pains
and aches. Today I enjoy the best
of health, and now weigh 150 pounds.
I know Harris’ 1-2-1 Bloody Remedy
cured me.
Yours very truly,
JOHN H. BULAR.

EARLY COUNTY NEWS
RAIL AID WATER TRANSPORTATION
In a recent statement the public has been informed of steps taken by the Central of Georgia Rail
way to provide adequate facilities for the shipping and traveling public; of the purchase of freight
and passenger engines, freight and passenger cars, shop tools, new rail and a multitude of other
necessary materials for the proper upkeep of a modern railway.
It is appropriate also to call attention to additional facilities which are being provided to pro
mote prompt and comfortable service between eastern and southern markets via the Central of Geor
gia Railway and its coastwise steamer connections at Savannah.
The Ocean Steamship Company of Savannah began operations in 1848. The advantages of the
service were apparent, providing as it did cheap and expeditious transportation for light and heavy
freight originating at the principal manufacturing and distributing markets along the eastern seaboard
and for products of the South moving in the reverse direction. Modern terminals have been built at
Savannah and the fleet increased until it now consists of eight vessels, operating three times a
week between Savannah and New York and twice a week between Savannah and Boston. Two addi
tional vessels are now being built to enlarge these facilities, at a cost of $1,000,000 each. The CITY
OF CHATTANOOGA will be launched in July and the CITY OF BIRMINGHAM' in August. They will
be placed in regnlar service during October and November, or earlier. These ships are 6,500-ton
capacity—2o per cent larger than the best of those ni service. They are equipped for quick handling
of freight and contain enlarged and superior accommodations for passenger travel.
The delights of an ocean voyage, permitting rest and recreation with safety and comfort, at
moderate cost, make a strong appeal to those who travel either for business or pleasure. More than
20,000 passengers are carried annually on the ships in this line.
The greatest service the coastwise ships perform for the business of the country, however, is to
supply expeditious freight service at reasonable rates. The shipper and receiver of freight may
safely count upon the maintenance of a 63-hour schedule between Savannah and New York, and an
87-hour schedule between Savannah and Boston. This fast service is co-ordinated with facilities for
quick handling of freight at Savannah terminals, and with express trains and through package cars
frbm Savannah. The line enjoys an extensive patronage, not only in the southeastern states, but in
the territory as far west as Colorado and Utah.
The Merchants and Miners Transportation Company, operating two sailings a week between
Savannah and Baltimore, and two between SavanDah and Philadelphia, has recently added two modern
vessels to Its fleet, insuring adequate service in those lines.
These are some of the things which characterize the service which a combination of rail and
water transportation is able to render American business. Its worth justifies the large expenditures
that are being made to insure its permanence and its improvement.
Constructive criticism and suggestions invited.-
