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.

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.- W. A.
