RAILROAD SITUATION.
It seems to be generally admitted
even by the most extreme that anti
railrond legislation in some southern
states lins gone too far.
Some politicians in their over ween
ing desires to win in a political cam
paign have overstepped the mark and
gone too far in pledging themselves in
favor of anti-rnilroad legislation.
There should be no such tiling as
anti-railroad or anti anything else in
legislation in this country. Nocorpor
ation, set of people ur thing should be
legislated against. When necessary,
corporations should be rpguiated with
in proper bounds. But this idea of
making a political campaign based on
opposition to any business interest is
certainly a dangerous theory.
After a campaign pitched on the idea
of adverse legislation to rnilroads is
over, and the successful candidate re
tains his common sense he is bound to
see the impracticability of carrying
out his campaign pledges and conse
quently finds himself in the middle of
a bad fix. They know it would be
wrong to carry them out, and in the
meantime the people are howling for
something to be done. This is where
the trouble comes in. A good deal of
anti-railroad ngitation is caused by
poor service, and poor service is caused
by lack of proper facilities to handle
the increased traffic. However, the
way to get the increased facilities is
not to so cripple the railroads that
they are unable to make the needed
improvements and additions to their
traffic arrangements.
Among other tilings a good many
southern railroads need to be double
tracked. It is impossible for them to
handle their business properly, and the
increased number of trains necessary
to handle it on one track.
Nearly every trunk line in this sec
tion should be double tracked, and
that as speedily ns the work can be
done. However, on account of drastic
legislation against the railronds al
ready enacted, and the threats of going
a great deni further in the line, the
heads of these corporations can’t see
their way clear to making the neces
sary improvements, nor can they com
mand the funds necessary to do so.
As it is now everything is at a stand
still, the business cannot be handled,
the service is poor, schedules are eon-
tiually subject to delays, and still
comes the cry down with the railroads.
How do people expect the railroad
companies to expand their traffic facil
ities sufficiently to properly conduct
theii business when they are handicap
ped with the threats of legislation that
will take away all their prolits. anil in
some instances practically amount to
Confiscation.
If all this hue and cry against the
railroads was stopped,if the politicians
would get on a more conservative basis
in regard to future legislation, we
firmly believe that the principal lines
in this section would immediately go
to work to put their operating depart
ments on a better basis, get it in such
shape, in fact, that they could easily
handle the increased traffic and that
without the delays and inconveniences
we are now subjected to.
As it is things are in rather unsatis
factory shape all around now in regard
to the railroad situation and need
adjusting.—Rome Tribune.
DON’T NEED MONEY.,
The banks of Washington county
don’t need money and hence have de
cided not to issue certificates, at least
not for the present.
We don’t know exactly how it feels
not to need money, but we are right
glad to know that there are certain
gentlemen who have before them each
day a sufficient quantity of the "coin
of the realm” to feel satisfied and no
at all uneasy about the present or even
the future prospects,
We are right glad that the financial
situation is good in the county and
that the banks made such a good
showing. It shows that business con
ditions in the county are much better
than in some other places and that
business here promises to continue to
be good. # *
THE SYSTEM GOES ON.
The New York financiers have ex
ploited the public ai d each other until
the bottom of the market has dropped
out. Then, when the panic came a
few big operators rushed into the
street and saved the country land
themselves). The metropolitan pnpers
are now singing the praises of these
financial saviours, hilt the "system”
goes on. The big magnates will not
tolerate any legislation which will
protect the public, and as a result the
country is being driven to government
savings banks.—The Commoner.
Infant Dies at RiddlevilleJ
Louis Cohen Jernigan, the thir
teen months old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Stanford Jernigan, died at
their home near Riddleville last
Sunday night after a very brief
illness.
The little fellow was quite a
bright and interesting baby hoy
and bis death brought great sor
row to his parents and many "rela
tives and friends of the family.
The funeral services were con
ducted from the Baptist church
at Riddleville Sunday by Revs. M
R. Little and B. F. West.
The floral tributes wore many
and quite beautiful, typical of
the brightness and innocence and
beauty of the child.
Thk Herald extends sincere
and hearfelt sympathy.
The country is bearing up well in all
lines of business and the southern
farmers see victory in sight.
The Macon Telegraph thinks we hare
had enough of the "panicky” feeling
and calls to the politicians to quit
rocking the boat.
The country is in the right condition
now for "safe and sane” business meth
ods and a pull all together for the
progress of the south.
The farmers of the Union seem to
realize that the fight for higher prices
demands not only organized effort but
intelligent business methods and no
politics whatever.
If you haven’t already taken advan
tage cf the low cash subscription offer,
bring one of those new certificates and
do so now.
The death of Col. J. H. Estill, editor
of the Savannah Morning News,brought
sorrow to thousands of Georgians and
removed one of the south’s best men
and ablest editors. Col. Estill had
many warm friends and admirers
throughout this section of the state.
riy Best Friend.
Alexander Benton, who lives on
Rural Route 1, Fort Edward, N. Y.,
says: "Dr. King’s New Discovery is my
best earthly friend. It cured me of
asthma six years ago. It has also per
formed a wonderful cure of incipient
consumption for my son’s wife. The
first bottle ended the terrible cough,
and this accomplished, the oraer symp
toms left one by one, until she was
perfectly well. Dr. King’s New Dis
covery’s power over coughs and colds
is simply marvelous,” No other rem
edy lias ever equaled it. Fully guar
