ROADS CUT RATES
10 Per Cent on Freight
on Farm Products.
The Association of Rnilway Execu
tives, representing 201 railroads, last
week decided to put into effect u ten :
per cent freight rote reduction on all
farm p-oducts as soon ns possible. |
The reduction would apply to rates '
except in the New England atatos and
freight entering and lenving those
stated,
President Cuylw, of the Railway
Executives, said the reduction will be
inaugurated without waiting for re-'
duce.l wages, and will apply through- 1
out the country except on traffic
wholly within New England.
This reduction will prove of greet
advantage to the farmer, ami should
resu’t in increased business for the
railroads.
Er'imsting that this cut of 10 per
cent in freight rates on farm prod
ucts in carloads will mean about IB
per cent reduction to the public with
the repeal of the transportation taxes
on Jan. 1st in the tax revision bill,
Sens lor Wm. J. Harris expresses the
hope that further reductions in all
lines of urticles would soon be made.;
"I ast December I took up the mat-1
tor of reduction of freight rates with ;
the Interstate Commerce Commission, j
nnd recently I again visited Ihc com-1
mission to urge the importance of ear
ly action. The fight for a reduction
is sh iwlng definite results now, and I
• "*boric that further cuts will be agreed
vtffini immediately by the railway
cxecu^vcs; and if not, then the In
terstate Commerce Commission should
act,” commented Senator Harris.
“In my judgment, a reduction in
freight rates will prove a stimulus to
business and at the same time help
the railroads by providing more rev
enue with an increase in the volume
of business,” said Sentor Harris.

Pessimism Has No Place
in the Real Spirit of
Time of Thanksgiving
After buying devoted ho miieli of
our time to bemoaning tlio misfortune*

on this Thanksgiving day to stop and
look at tin* other side of the ledger
and •'ast up tin* account of the good
things that have come to us.
Our situation admittedly has not
been aw favorable In many respects as
we could desire. We have bad prole
toms ami • litfieultles which natural 1 )'
aroused d I sunt Infliction nnd discontent.
We have been feeling mighty sorry
for ourselves.
Perhaps Thanksgiving occasion could
bring no greater blessing to us ns a
peopje than to readjust our perspec
tive and displace pessimism with n
new spirit of optimism.
Before we enter Into the true spirit
of the day It Is necessary to put awn.
our hatreds, our grouches ami dlscou
tents and center our thoughts upoi
the blessings that have come. If one
would give thanks be must realise the
fact of having been blessed, nnd In
doing so he minimize*' Ihc misfortune**
he lias experienced. The pessimist Is
In no position to give thanks. The
spirit of optimism will posses us to
the extent that we are able to give
thanks In spirit and in truth to the
Giver of All Good Gift* today.
For the fact- remains that, In spite
of our difficulties, we are the most
prosperous and the moat favorably sit
tinted nation on the earth' nnd that
we have more reasons for contentment
and gratitude than any other people.
This Thanksgiving day, If observed
In the spirit of those, who Inaugurated
It, Is capable of lifting the spirit and
thought of the American people to new
heights und of ushering In a new era
of contentment and happiness.
Thanksgiving day comes to mrnn
ftxlny not only an occasion when we
may express our gratitude to the Most

BUILDING & LOAN
Association Endorsed by the
Kiwanis Club.
Nothing would ho of morn ma-
tcrlnl benefit to Cedartown nt the
present stage of our development
than a successful Building & Loan
Association.
Realizing this fiiet, the Kiwnnis
lub invited Mr. J. W. Vaughn, the
successful hend of the B. & L. Asso
ciation at Cartersville, to meet with
them at their weekly luncheon Friday
at the Wayside Inn.
Mr. Vaughn hns been at the hend
of the organization there for many
yenrs, nnd told of the great benefit
It hnd been to his town, botli as a
profitable investment for sharehnld-
ra and in building new homos and
business houses. He told, too, how
the Association hnd made property-
owners and good citizens out of young
men whose (mbits hud been unpromis
ing. He stntqd one very significant
truth when he said that such an or
ganization could not pay high salaries.
The success of such an enterprise
leponde on the ability of some man
in whom the people have confidence
who is willing to do n great deal of
ork for very little pay with the
Idea of benefiting Ills community, as
Mr. Vaughn has done in Cartersville.
We liollovo Cedartown has several
such men, and wo shall hope that
such un Association will soon bo
