MR. N.J. CROZIER DIES !
AFTER LONG ILLNESS
N. J. Crozier, a former resident of
Blakely and Cuthbert, who moved to
Albany last March to make his home
with his daughter. Mrs. Jim Inman,
at 410 Tift street, died Saturday
afternoon about 2 o’clock, following
a long illness.
Mr. Crozier was engaged in busi
ness at Blakely, but was forced to
retire some time ago on account of
failing health and the fact that his
wife also was an invalid. He was
highly regarded both at Blakely and
at Cuthbert, where he was reared.
An active member of the Methodist
church, was a leader in Sunday
school work and was a man of
recognized piety and godly charac
ter. News of his death will carry
sadness to many hearts in both
Blakely and Cuthbert. On account
of his poor health since coming to
Albany, Mr. Crozier had few oppor
tunities here to make friends, but
impressed all with whom he came
in contact with his Christian life
and resignation to suffering.
He is survived by his invalid wife
and three children. The children are
Mrs. Jim Inman, of Albany; Mrs. C.
C. Haisten, of Macon, and Mr.
Otis Crozier, of Shreveport, La.
Mr. Crozier’s body was buried
Sunday afternoon in Albany. His
former associates and friends will
read with sadness the above notice
of his death, which is clipped from
the Albany Herald.
Quite a party of Blakely friends
attended Mr. Crozier’s funeral. Among
these were six Messrs.
£has.„H. Smith. Jr.. T. K. Weaver,
M. L. Battle, E. B. Hamilton, John
H. Williams and Grady Holman.
Others attending were Rev. W. M.
Blitch, M. T. Chipstead, C. L. Tabb,
W. C. Jordan, J. R. Owen, L. W.
Jernigan, S. D. Jernigan and Henry
Butler.
All of these were from the Metho
dist Baraca Class, of which Mr.
Crozier was president during his
residence here. Mr. Crozier was
also a steward of the church and
several times superintendent of the
Methodist Sunday School.

TRANSPORTATION
PROBLEM REVIEWED
The two outstanding features of
the transportation situation at the
present time are the facts that the
railways are rendering to American
business more efficient service than
at any time in the history of the
country, and are accomplishing this
achievement at costs to the traveling
and shipping public lower than pre
vail anywhere else in the world.
These statements are made in a re
view of the transportation situation
by W. A. Winburn, President, Cen
tral of Georgia Railway Company.
Mr. Winburn points out that this
year the railways are expending for
equipment, additions and improve
ments the enormous sum of $1,500,-
000,000. He declares that freight
rates are now 50 per cent higher
than in 1913 while the average whole
sale price of all commodities is 57
per cent higher than in 1913. More
over, last year while commodity
prices were increasing, freight rates
were reduced 13 pef cent. Mr. Win
burn asks if any other large Ameri
can industry reduced to the con
sumer the cost of its product in 1922.
He declares that the future de
velopment of transportation hinges
i upon the ability of the railways to
secure sufficient capital to keep pace
with the business demands of the
country and asks for a fair trial
of the present Transportation Act
for a reasonable length of time
under normal conditions.
Attention is directed to the fact
that despite widespread public be
lief there is no 6 per cent, “guaran
tee” of railway earnings, but that
the law on the contrary limits the
earnings of transportation companies
without making up deficits.
U. D. C. MEETING.
Mrs. E. L. Fryer, Jr., and Mrs. T.
B. McDowell will be joint hostesses

afternoon, September 28th, at three

This is an important meeting and
all members are urged to be pres
ent. Election of president and other
plans are to be made for the year’s
work.
