WAGES REDUCED ON THE GAINESVILLE MIDLAND RAILWAY Amounts Fixed at Half Way Between Wages Paid Before War and High est Point Reached. Judge Beverly D. Evans, United United States District Court, has de cided the controversy between the Re ceivers of the Gainesville Midland Rail way and their employees, tiling his de cision in court April 16th, as follows: “Both Movants and Respondents sub mitted evidence and briefs at the hear ing of the rule to show cause why the salaries and wages of the employees and officers of the Gainesville Midland Railway should not be reduced. “The Court is of tha opinion that it has jurisdiction of the matter in con troversy, and that the reduction of wages and salaries of both employes and administrative officers proposed by the Receivers is necessary To the end that operating expenses shall not ex- ceed earnings. “It is THEREFORE ORDERED, that beginning April 16th, 1921, the Re ceivers put into effect on Gainesville Midland Railway the schedules of pay including the provisions as to over time recited in the Court’s order of %h 12, 1921.” 'U.e effect of this decision is to fix the wages about middle way between the pre-war wages and the highest point reached during Government con trol and operation. The aggregate amount of wages paid out annually by the Gainesville Mid land previous to 1917 was about SBO,- 000.00, while the wages for 1920 Reach ed $180,000.00. The wages fixed by Judge Evans or der will aggregate about $125,000.00. Tl\e road has been steadily losing about $100,000.00 each year and it is hoped by this adjustment of wages and the reduced cost of coal and other op erating expenses that the road can be saved from being dismantled. The employees submitted their case fully and fairly to the Court and were given a full hearing and it is thought that they will accept the decision of the Court and abide by his ruling. Nearly all the men have l>een with the road for many years, some of them over \a quarter of a century. They have been J loyal and faithful in the past and will / undoubtedly stand steadfastly by tne road now even though its unfortunate condition does not permit it to pay the wages that the employees enjoyed dur ing Government operation.

HUDSON HOLLOWAY INSTANTLY KILLED In An Auto Accident On the Athens Road Car Turns Over Killing One and Injuring Another. While returning from the Christian Chapel Sunday school and rounding a sharp curve on the road from Winder to Athens at the Green Smith place, about two miles from this city, late Sunday afternoon, a Ford ear being driven by Newt Thomas, sou of Mr. Win. Thomas, of near Bethlehem, was overturned. Besides youug Thomas, Hudson Holloway, the 18-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. George Holloway, was in the car and the latter was almost instantly killed. The car turned over twice, having been going at a rapid rate of speed. Newton Thomas was injured but he will recover. Both parties were hurried to Winder and every possible medical attention was given them, but youug Holloway died without having regained conscious ness. The funeral services for young Hol loway occurred at Bethlehem Monday afternoon from the Methodist church of which he was a member. Rev. J. B. Gresham conducting the services. The tragedy has cast a gloom over that entire community, as both young men were well thought of, stood high in their community, and were from the best families in the county. The sympathy of a host of friends are extended to the bereaved ones . Barrow County’s Great Sunday School Day Last Sunday was the greatest day for the Bible schools in Barrow’s his tory. The county Ministerial Associ ation, one of the livest and most help ful in the state, had through the press and every available means stressed the matter of attendance upon the minds and the hearts of the people and a line crowd was the result at the churches.

S. in county 3826. Total Sunday School Attendance for the County is 3698. Some splendid work was done by the Bible school officials and attendants and this shows what effort will do. < tut of a population of over 13000, around 3600 attended Sunday school. This gives one-fourth of the inhabi tants as Sunday school attendants, and we dare say that not a county in the state can make such a tine showing. Sunday was an eye-opener. We opine that other counties will follow Barrow’s lead and that figures will be given that will shock and startle the Christian workers and show why Geor gia leads the states in criminality. If you let the rural churches and Bible schools weaken you unconsciously pre pare for Bolshevism. The Religious Census for 1916 gives the following: Barrow, pop. 12,000, Christians 5163. Gwinnett, pop. 28824, Christians 10716 Walton, pop. 25393, Christians 9162. Jackson, pop. 30169, Christians 0078. Clarke, pop. 23273. Christians 8072. These figures demand the serious consideration of our people. The min isters association, lias set May the Bth.
