MANY GEORGIA TRAINS
HAVE BEEN LATE LATELY.
Report to Commission Shows That
Most of the Trains in the State
Have Run Behind Schedule.
Numerous trains are still running
late ail over Georgia, according to re
ports received yesterday by the rail
road commission for the week ending
Saturday, February 26, at midnight.
These reports are now made upon
specially prepared blanks sent out by
the railroad commission, and are in
little different form than heretofore.
The present form of report show*
how many trains were late each day
of the week at al! terminal and junc
tion points.
The reports of the Central of Geor
gia Railway for the week stated,
shows a total of 319 delays at termin
al and junction points, but in man;
instances these are delays of the
same train.
For instance, the night train from
Atlanta to Savannah may reach Ma
con 30 minutes late, and continue late
into Savannah. In such case a re
port Is made for the delay at each
junction point, such as Tennille, Wad-
ley, Millcn, Dover and others. Thus
one delayed train 'might appear on
the reports from one to half a dozen
times.
The Georgia Railroad, for the same
week, similarly, reports 127 delays
terminal and junction points. Oth
er reports made for the week are as
follows: Gainesville Midland,( 12;
Louisville and Wadley, 1: Georgia
and Florida, 20; Savannah and States
boro, 8; Tallulah Falls, 2; Georgia,
Florida and Alabama. 33. Other re
ports for last week are expected in
the office of the commissioner today
and tomorrow.
The commission has just received a
report from the Southern Railway for
the week ending February 12, show
ing a total of 140 late trains for the
week. This report was not made up
on the foregoing blanks, and is the
actual number of delayed trains.

Foley’s GMOlAXATO
I Tqouble and CCSSTIPATION
In the very middle of winter, with
streams swollen one day and receding
the next, three Oglethorpe young peo
ple made the trip from the line of
Oconee and Oglethorpe to the sea in
twenty-one days—that time being the
period required for the river travel,
though they stopped for a day at a
time along the route. The Oconee
Enterprise of yesterday tells of their
return;
On December 10th, l’earl Aycock,
Press and Courtney Elder, three
prominent young men who reside just
over the line in Oglethorpe, left the
Wire Bridge in a boat 21 feet long
and three and a half feet wide for a
Journey to the ocean. They were well
stocked with provisions, bedding,
guns, stove, etc. In fact, the w*eight
of their supplies was about 900
pounds.
"They hunted ami fished along the
route down the Oconee and the Alta-
niaha. bagging any number of duck,
wild geese, squirrels and birds. They
arrived at Darien Feb. 23rd. over two
months after their start from the
Wire Bridge, but Mr. Aycock tells us
that this time was consumed in their
stops along the way and that they
were only on the water 21 days actual
time from the beginning of their jour
ney until they reached the ocean.
"At Darien the young men left their
canoe and went to Brunswick for a
short stay. Mr. Ayxtock tells us that
white at St. Simon he and a New Jer
sey friend went out fishing one night
and in three or four hours’ time with
the aid of nets, had landed 209 shad
weighing from 3 to 8 pounds each.
“Mr. Aycbck is very enthusiastic in
the recital of Ills novel trip, so much
so that he Intends to build a stronger
boat and again make a similar trip
this summer.”
They also stopped over for a day or
two on the homeward trip in "Madi
son. and the Madisonian of yesterday
had the following;
“Marshal Elder had as his guests a
day or two this week Messrs. Press
and Courtney Elder, his brothers, of
Yesterday there was an assemblage
ot the colored farmers of the coun
ties of Clarke, Madison, Walton,
Jackson. Greene, Oconee and Elbert,
and the meeting was held at the Jeru
el Academy on Baxter street.
Chancellor Barrow of the Univer
sity of Georgia made an address to
the colored farmers, on "Thrift on
the Farm.” and made a speech which
ought to-be exceedingly beneficial to
the negroes who are engaged in agri
cultural pursuits.

condition of the negro in agricultural
work in the south. He said that the

poor methods, unreliable labor, and
lack of thrift in the management of
their farms, and he then proceeded to

reformation of this condition. This is

methods, more raising of home sup

Oglethorpe county. They were en
route home from a notable trip. The
lOtli of December last year they set
sail on the Oconee at their home in a
small boat of their own make and
went to the sea at Darien, via Oconee
and Altamaha. They fished and hunt
ed along the route, it taking them
twenty-one days to make the trip.
They took a vessel at Darien for
Brunswick, spending time there and
in different parts of South Georgia un
til a few days ago. They saved more
than enough furs to pay Hie expenses
of the trip, which Was a very pleasant
one. They spent the nights in a tent
on the river bank. They encountered
much high water for a frail craft.”
