AUGUST 10, 1922. THE STANDARD, CEPARTOWN, GA. PAGE NINE* Central of Georgia Railway Meets an Emergency The public has h right to know the manner in which a railway measures up to its duty of furnishing uninterrupted transportation for the protection of business. The Cen tral of Georgia Railway, with pride in its organization, presents the facts concerning its a- bility to serve its patrons faithfully durng the emergency due to the strike of the Federated Shopcrafts, which has been in progress since J uly first. The month of July, 1922, was one of the heaviest from a traffic standpoint in the his tory of the railway, yet in spite of increased business and decreased forces, no passenger train was annulled, all freight offered was handled; several special movements were oper ated and a big holiday travel was moved. Thus the usual good record for efficiency and prompt handling of passengers and freight w is maintained. We handled during July 70,578 revenue loads as against 65,856 during the same month last year; an increase of 4,722 loads, or 72%. In June, the mon£h before the strike, we handled 68,147 loads, our July showing an increase of 2,431 loads, or 3.6%. The prompt movement of the perishable fruit crop, to the satisfaction of the grow ers, was accomplished during July. We handled 6,533 cars of peaches, melons and canta loupes, an average of 261 cars for each of the 25 working days in the month. Owing to a 40% reduction in the peach crop, the fruit movement was decreased 867 cars from last year. With the nation depending upon the south for its coal supply, all previous records of the Central of Georgia were eclipsed. We loaded on our own lines 1,741 cars as against 915 in July of last year, a gain of 826, or 90.3%. In June of 1922 we loaded 1,529 cars of coal. When the shopmen left their work on July the first our equipment was in splendid condition and it has been kept up to the standard during the month just past. On August 1st, 1922, we had 8,075 serviceable system freight cars, or 87.8% of the total number we own; a better showing than on August 1st, 1912, when we had in service 7,974, or 87.1%. of the number we then owned. On the first of this month we had 276 locomotives in good serviceable condition and 38 in the shops for repairs. A year ago, this date, we had 264 locomotives ip service and 62 in the shops for repairs, the percentage of good locomotives now being 87.9% as a- gainst 83.5% in August, 1921. i During the “strike-month” we ran 2,934 passenger trains, of which 2,888, or 98.4% were on time or maintained schedule. We ran 426 fast freight trains, of which 342, or 80.3%) were on time. Our seashore business to and from Tybee Island continued without interruption. During the month we handled 138,251 Tybee passengers, as against 124,211 in June. The credit for this fine record of achievement goes to the officers and men in the various departments who have put forth unusual endeavors to meet the situation. Our Master Mechanics and other supervisory officers have worked continuously to keep our plant in operation. Their loyal service and the fine condition of our engines and cars would enable us to operate for at least sixty days longer, with the same degree of efficien cy attained during July. However, we are now recruiting our forces and are daily adding experienced men to our ranks. Within the next two months we expect to have a full com- pletement of workers, and we shall continue our efforts to serve the public. We are soliciting business and we are ready to handle it, day or night, as occasion demands. We make grateful acknowledgment of friendly support and helpful co-operation from the public generally. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. W. A. WINBURN, • President, Central of Georgia Railway Company. Savannah, Ga., August 7, 1922.

Hcj AUTO CASTE H. .should have rendered an account to bis son, paid him a just compensa tion, and given him an honest and equitable share in the pronts or trie farm. The farmer has not always made the farm attractive to his son. You can’t keep a boy at home if you give him a pine knot fire by which to read when the world offers him electric lights, a library, and a read ing lamp. The farmer must bring the pleasures, amusements, books, magazines, and attractive things into bis home and upon his own farm if he expects to keep his boy and make a great agriculturist out of h in. / ’] '■<* parcel post, the rural mail de livery, the automobile, the paved highway, and other conveniences, arc for the purpose of enabling the fanner to bring the attractions of the world into his own little country home, into his own desolated farm house, and to his own fireside. If he will seize the opportunity, fill his table with magazines, papers, and good books, bring in the music box, and the wireless radio and thus make his home attractive, bright, cheerful magnetic, and fascinating, he will keep his boys and girls around him. This is, the day of the farm if ths farmer wm only realize it. This is the hour when the farm ought to be the most attractive spot in the coun try; this is the moment when the farmhouse ought to ring with music, an d the barnyard ought to be the convention hall of agricultural and political activity. The farmer should make his son the leader in that con vention and teach him how to mould public opinion and direct legisla tion. Let the farmer learn how to be generous and kind to his children and to keep them in the atmos phere of agricultural purity, peace and prosperity. HOMEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922 1 Fun* !• » wonderful thing. Think of the bird that first con* cored the notion of starting a fire to keep warm before there wa« any fire. You know his name, of course. Then there was the boy who really owns all the gold in the world, the fellow who looked at a mountain, saw there was some stone in it, dug up the stone, saw there was metal in the stone and figured out how to get the metal out of the stone. You remember who he was, too. And the other boy, what’s his name—the chap that fixed out words that carried meaning, and spoke them at the rest of the gang so they could all converse? Everybody knows who he was. There’s no use talkin’. It’s very ipiportftnt to get your name in the paper an’ get a reputation, s' “THE UNEMPLOYED” Each day abounds in mystery to tax the thoughtful mind, and add its bit of history in lore of human kind. ., . .
