The Atlantic Coast Line got all

Railroad officials will agree that
‘"wrecks come In trinities and they
always ‘ feel that after the third

and people were killed In each one
of them.

THE VALDOSTA NORMAL COL
LEGE OWES MUCH TO THE
LOYALTY AND ENTHUSIASM
OF THE OLD HOARD.
The board of councllmen whlclf
took charge of the city’s atfalrs at
the meeting on Monday are going to
have hard work to Improve upon
what waa done by tbelr predecessors
and especially by those members
who stepped down and oiit at the
meeting Monday.
Chairman Jones, of the finance
committee, made his report to the
council and severed hla connection
with the city, after having served
as long or longer than any other
man who has been on the board of
conncllmen. Mr. Jonea has looked
afLer the finances and he has had a
job on hla hands. It Is to his credit
very large measure that the
city showa up aa well In financial
matters as it does. Mr. Jones Is a
very accurate man, and, though pro
gressive, Is a stickler for economy,
Mr. Jones was not a candidate for
re-election, . his retirement being
voluntary.
Chairman Peeples, who was chair
man of the fire and light committee,
has alto served the city several times
as councilman and he has always
been for progfioa*. Councilman
Peeples was also a stickler for look
ing after the city’s Interest in the
expenditure of money and he al-
days demanded the very ibeit for
the money spent. Mr. Peeples la ths
father of Valdosta”! up-to-date fire

ably made critics and enemies

and he retired from a place on the
boerd to look after hla own privets
affairs. He waa always an advocate
of progressive steps and he was
among the first to advocate any
movement that would pat Valdosta
.further In the lead.
Chairman Dekle, of the water
woiks committee, did a great deal
to improve that eervloe and to "ex
tend the system to more remote
parts of tl%.clty. He did a great
eld* to ays terns nee the work St the
plant and to give Superintendent
Ciunrterman a great deal of valu

tired voluntarily from the city’s ser

following Valdosta's lead In this
matter and that all of them will
have these new trucks In a short
while. Chairman Peeples merely
wanted Valdosta to set the pace.
The pace makers are usually the
ones that have to face the winds of
opposition.
Chairman Jenkins, of the sani
tary committee, was one of the most
can be done upon them without trou

way for more permanent work.
The first act of th e old council
waa to assist the Valdosta, Moultrie
and Western road In coming Into
Valdosta. That council helped
the Georgia and Florida road to get
into the city. That council also got
behind the new college project fo*

it gave to our representatives in the
legislature, made that college possi
