Holder, its editor, on the Gainesville Midland Railway, which has been quoted by the other papers on the line of the jaiiway. and. no doubt has been read with interest. Mr. Hol der, as lie always do >. is looking ahead in the interest of our section, noting conditions, and realizes that the road cannot go on indefinitely losing money. This editorial is a timely naming, and should he heeded if the people an interested in the operation of the railroad in this section. Mr. Holder is correct in his state ment that the road is not making oper ating expenses, and it is simply for tin want of sufficient traffic. ,\o interest has been paid in years. Every effort is now being made to pay operating 'expenses so as to keep the road going. If tin* people did not have this road al ready, they Would, no doubt, be willing to contribute their land and money to get it. Mince they already have it, why not try to patronize it in such way as will make it self-supporting, and be in position to furnish necessary trans portation to take care of the patrons along its line? They certainly do want the road. The trouble is they Mve it, and do not feel that there is any possibility of its being taken from them. Most people think a railroad is a fixture. There is no way, however, to keep it in operation unless it can earn sufficient money, to keep it In op eration unless it can earn sufficient mon ey to pay expenses. Several Georgia Hues have already been dismantled and scrapped, and there are others now in the process. If interested in maintaining the road every effort should lie made, all things being equal, to see that it receives a haul on all traffic controlled in its im diate section, having only a small ter ritory from which to draw business. We have all our employees interested in the solicitation of traffic, and a great many of them are doing so as they go about their regulor duties. We have a representative who devotes his entire time to calling on patrons of the road, and in my daily rounds, I am al ways on the alert ii< an effort to assist in securing every pound of traffic pos sible, and in adjusting all irregulari ties, as i find them. Notwithstanding all this, some of our people are more or less indifferent. They forget to route their freight as they purchase it. and some feel tlmt it must necessarily he divided between our competitors, there fore, the small amount of traffic dur ing this depression is not sufficient to take care of the road. There is the automobile which lias forced us to discontinue the double daily passenger service, and instead op erate a single daily passenger service, with a reduction in our passenger earn ings .of at least fifty per cent. The auto trucks are also getting very busy, hauling some commodities which are easily handled, and it is claimed they make some money competing with the railroad, which 1 am sure they will find is not true when tried out fully. The high cost of a truck (the life of winch is about two years) and the heavy repairs, etc., all taken into con sideration. will not only show no money is being made, but that they are being operated at a loss, and they are going a long way toward assisting the discon tinuance of railroad operation. All automobiles or trucks used for the trunsiHirtation of passengers or freight, should be required to pay for the privilege and maintain a schedule. It is very unfair that they should he turned loose to compete with railroads without any regulations, and on roads .that the railroads are required to help keep up. It is known that the (Jainesville Mid land Kailway is now in the hands of Receivers, and everything is being done that can be done to make it go. I re peat, its.expenses have not been made, although they have been cut to the very bottom. Every employe Is co-operating fully, and every effort is being made to overcome the present situation. There is only one remedy, and that a very reasonable one, which is that the bus iness men along the line should see to it that the road is patronised, and has ithe full co-operation of all its patrons. There is ample traffic in the territory to make the road a paying proposition, if the people will only become interest ed and patronize it is they should. Another point is necessary: steps should be taken to tax automobiles and auto trucks handling passengers and freight, and see that they are put un der such regulations as should be in handling passenger and freight traffic in competition with the railroads. If proper interest along these lines is taken, the road will soon he solf aupiiorting, and will Ih> in position to secure an up-to-date transportation sys tem. \V. 11. VEAZEY.

Yours for Service, Winder National Bank SWEEPING PRICE REDUCTION International 8-16 Tractor S9OO Lowest Ever Quoted THIS is the lowest price ever quoted oil this sturdy two-plow tractor and it includes all necessary equipment—platform, fenders, governors, belt, pulley—which cost extra on many tractors. The International 8-16 is unquestionably the best buy in the two-plow tractor class. As the price has been made regardless of manufacturing costs, the Harvester Company does not agree to maintain it. Don’t goad the sweltering fly-pestered horses through hot weather plowing and seeding when 8-16 will do the work better at a big saving of time and labor. It will also do your fall and winter belt work. The Titan 10-’-’O has also been cut to 1H)0 and the International 15-30 to $1,750. These prices are lower than ever before, and certainly justify the immediate purchase of a tractor. All prices f. o. b. Chicago. We can arrange suitable terms.
