A PROGRESSIVE POLICY President Winburn of the Central of Georgia Railway, is publishing a program of extraordinary expenditures for 1923 that shows his faith in the soundness of the railway property under his man agement/ He announces that the company will spend the prodigous' sum of $5,741,393 on additions pud im provements. New equipment absorbs the largest item of this budget, totalling approximately four million dollars. The announcement is as follows: o The annual budget of u railway company’s expenditure may appear to be “dry reading,” but when understood it tells an intensely in teresting story. To keep pace with the devel opment of a growing country such as Georgia and Alabama, the railways must display vision, foresight, courage and faith in their territory ancf in their patrons, A study of the program for additions and im plements that the Central of Georgia Railway has adopted for 1923 gives an insight into the varied phases of transportation, that vital factor in the welfare of industry and commerce. A railroad differs from any other enterprises jn that it is never complete. Continued improve ment is the price of progress. Management, if efficient, will never lose sight of the goal—im proved service. Wtih this in mind the Central of Georgia Rail way plans to spend in 1923 for additions and improvements the sum of $5,741,392. Motive .power and rolling stock are essential factors in proper handling of increased traffic. OUr lines of communication must provide for prompt and efficient movement of coal from the mines; lumber from the forest; raw material to and finished products from the factory; fertil izer for the field; cotton and livestock from the farm; melons and peaches from the orchard. The tonrist to and from the South; the traveler on business missions expects swift and comfortable transportation. The items for new'equipment, hrfe as^follPHte: 20' Mikado freight locomotives,* 5 Mountain type passenger locomotives, 600 ventilator cars, / .... 10,0 stock cars, 3Q0 hopper coal cars, 200 com- » position coal cars, 10 cabooses, 2 straight coach- • ■ es,‘ 2 partition coaches, 2 baggage cars, 1 wreck ing derrick. >Thc total cost of this new equip ment amounts to $3,910,385; In addition to the ' above, 100 flat cars and 10 caboose cars, pur chased In 1922, will early in the year be added to’the equipment. Adequate terminal facilities to prevent conges tion and delay in crowded yiyrds will be required, and in viaducts and under passes, in order to pro vide better/protection at crossings. The day will come when grade crossings wil] be entirely elimi nated and looked upon as criminal, but things can not, all be done at once. There must be some gov- ' eminent assistance given to permit the railways working this miracle. Some 72 miles of light rail will be replaced by heavier rail. This enormous sum must De borrowed, at least in part. A railroad has to borrow money by going into the market and borrowing the same as other enterprises and it has tffofffcr attractive security as well as the current rat.e of ihterest to obtain the loan. The- Central of Geor gia Railway deserves largely the credit for the de velopment of the poach industry in Georgia, which lies to a great extent in the territory it serves. It is* now engaged in efforts to develop the kaolin clay industry in the same way that brought such fine suc cess with peaches. Unde Sam at the end of the war had three billion dollars worth of surplus army and naval supplies on 'hand. Nine-tenths of this has been sold, at 41 per of original cost or at an 'average of 41 cents oh cent < the dollar, reports Maj. James L. Frink, one of the War Department’s sales managers. Considering the depreciation of values, due to price drops, the War Department has. done a reasonably good salvaging job. Better than expected. IMMVe Americans certainly crave authority and being |Blointed out.” Have been spending 10 million dol- ■PTrs a year for society badges, emblems and regalia. That’s the wholesale price, on leaving the factory. Multiply it by two or three, to get the sum paid by members of secret societies, fraternal organizations,, etc. It’s twice as much as we Bpent before the war [ for labels of huthority and standing. That’s ex- r plained by higher prices. Since the bulk. of this . stuff js worn by men, maybe we’d better revise the saving about women “falling lor uniforms.” Men have the same weakness, expressing itself a different way. i I Joseph Liu, Chinese missionary student, dies in ---Lob Angeles. He took two doses of wan-yu-yok, a Chinese mess made out of 60 ingredients, including t- elephant hoofs, sawdust, feathers and pulverized Bger tooth. Our motive in recounting this is to call the 1 attention of ambitious home brewers, that wan-yu- yok is Chinese medicine, not a hooch formula. Bet ter stick to raisins.

This goal has about been attained and somewhat sooner than I expected. By tbo time the next crop ma tures our cotton warehouses will he swept clean, nnd tor the first time since tho War Between the States there will be no surplus to hear down prices. The Southern cotton-grower will have "the world hy the tall and a down-hill pull.” We must not lose the power pres- -,nt conditions give up by growing another bumper cotton crop. Let ‘be slogan of tho Southern farmer he: “Not only ten million bales of retton In 1923.” And a ten mil lion bale crop will bring the South more money than a crop of twelve or fifteen lmillon bales. Expert once has proved that the larger the cotton crop the less cash It brings the grower. , But with the exodus of negroes •tnd tbe boll weevil all over tbe cotton belt I do not think there la much danger of our producing any record-breaking crop of cotton. Keep tho acreage down to five acres to tho. plow and the food crops grown on the land will be a clear gain and pick-up.
