THE 1 LIMA BEAN CROP More attention should be given to the growing of ...na beans in this section. This bean crop matures earlier in Georgia than does the crop in California and besides a considerable saving to the consumer n account of the long freight haul. California, .jeans do not come into the market until about the middle of this month while the Georgia crop is gathered in September. This year, in South Geor- - via the yield per acre averaged over 1,100 pounds and brought a price of 11 cents. The California beans sell usually for practically the , same price but with the freight added. The Georgia product is just as good a bean and just as cheap. Besides every dollar spent for home raised beans _ means that much to the pockets of the farmers and to the tills <Sf the merchants. . ... Commencing the new year, every fanner should ir set aside several acres for the specific purpose of »egrowing lima beans. A ready money market at a profitable price awaits everyone who produces beans. If you have not grown lima beans, try out a few acres next year and you will reap a harvest from your efforts. . COMMUNITY FAIRS ARE POPULAR " A representative committee of citizens from civic fraternal organizations appeared before the ; mayor and council Monday evening and requested ’ their co-operation in the holding of a community ' fair—that is a fair made up of several small copi- ■fearrinnit.v fairs all of which it is said will make up a I most creditable exhibit, in speaking of consulidav- inK community fairs the Vidalia Advance has the following to say: .r f ,, “Under the direction of the home demon- li _ rtyntion agent of Toombs county, five splendid ir . community fairs have been held in the county thi- fall. These fairs were very creditable and , the best of the exhibits will be exhibited at the county fair in Lyons next week. We believe community fa'irs. are worth-while undertakings. If wo can get the people of a community work ing together, better schools, better roads, bet ter and happier living conditions are bound to follow. The way the communities of Tootrfbs county are coming together is one of the bright . .signs for,the future.” If Toombs county can make a success of this character of fairs, certainly Clarke county can with its college of agriculture as a nucleus to commence on. The bringing together of the proposed com munity fairs should pave the way for a real agri cultural fair here next year. It will bo a good be ginning and encourage the fanner and the chil dren in the rural districts to take more interest in the canning, corn and pig clubs which has been of so much benefit to the state during the past few years. /■ W <iCT||!W«r If the project is matured, every citizen should lend his or her aid and use every effort to make , she occasion a successful and profitable undertak- HON. L. C.

The peanuts will bev taken from the field and turned Into butter and other products. This will be an* other nice little enterprise for our city. The machinery has been or* dered and the factory will start as soon as it arrives 'and can be' set up. Mr. Brown will keep throe men on tbe road to sell bis pro ducts.

Phono 66 ‘Office Georgian Hotel 66 jki CENTRAL OF GEORGIA TELLS OF IMPROVED CONDITIONS IN ITS TERRITORY Improved conditions in the territory served by the Central of Georgia Railway- - Company are strikingly reflected in the increased traffic handled by the road. > The Central of Georgia Railway Company ahowed an increase in freight business 1 for 1922. Freight traffic (measured by the 'number of tons of freight carried, on* mile) increased only 9K per cent for all of tho class 1 railroads In 1922 aa compared to 1921, but'tho Central of Georgia registered an increase of 13 2-3 por cent. This increase in freight business made possible the Central of Georgia's favorable showing in total operating revenues for 1922 in tho fsce of the fact that on tha avtr- ' age freight rates were lower than in 1921. The revenue in 1923 for hauling a ton of freight one mile U 1 9-100 centa, a reduciton of 17.4 per cent from the revenue re ceived in 1922 which was 1 32-100 cents. Since the firet of this year the traffic of the Central of Georgia Railway Company, both freight and passenger, has Increased substantially over that handled for the corresponding period of last year. The num ber of tons of freight carried one mile by the Central of Georgia Railway Company for the 7 month* ended July 31, 1923, Was greater by 46 1-3 per cent than the freight traffic handled in the firet 7 months in 1922. Passenger traffic (measured by the ' number of passengers carried one mile) on the Central of Georgia Railway in tha 7 months ended July 31, 1923, waa greater by 12 7-8 per cent than the passenger tr handled in the firet 7 months in 1922. Is September, 1922, ere established a - record for volume of business handled, surpassing the previous peak record ‘in OctoL _ 1920. During each month of the past twelve our business has exceeded the high matt of any preceding year. The Central of Georgia Railway Company enters the fait*, and winter better prepared than ever before to discharge Its obligations to the public.^.,, Despite tho growth of passenger and freight traffic in Its territory, the CentrsU. -Qi of Georgia Railway Company has kept abreast of the situation ao well, through addiJii'Tq tions and improvements to it* plant and through thc.fplendid co-operation of its em- 1 pioyes and patrons, that this year’s unprecedented business has been handled with ' 1 ^ marked efficiency. One index of efficiency is the "avenge miles per car per day.” On the Central of Georgia this figure has been more than 30 during the entire past O year, and in September, the moatn just closed, it reached 36 miles—a record not equaled by any other railway in this territory, and by few roads 'n the United Statee. . _ “30 miles per csr per day” was fixed by the American Railway Association as tha ' goal of efficient operation to bo reached by the railroads this year. It is a source of 1 no little satisfaction to us that the Central of Georgia has gone beyond this figure, Tho public should understand that "miles per car per day” does not represent the actual distance traveled by a freight tar In a trains It takes into account the total ' number of care on the line—those being loaded and unloaded,.those standing at ter- mlnals and in sidings, even thoee in the shops for repairs. These latter desses over age more than 67 per cent of the total. As a matter of fact, the average speed of all freight traini, through and local, on the Central of Georgia in September, 1923, was 13 miles per hour. y This exceptional showing speaks for itself.' It Vhnnld be a source at gratitkatioit j to the patrons as well as to the. employes of the Central of Georgia/Railway-Company. It represents joint effort and joint success. No small part of tbe credit goes to ship- - pets and ctasigngep for their prompt loading and unloading of can. U is not alone a -, \ gain for our.reOroad; H is a splendid record for tho territory our railroad servaa. v : Constructive criticism' and suggestions are'invited. W. A.
