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.

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

fanner to bring the attractions of
the world into his own little country

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

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'
