REJECTJDFFER
Officials of Gainesville Midland, In Ef
fort to Save Road Ask Employees
to Accept Reduction in Wages.
The Gainesville Midland Railway, a
road in which the people of this sec
tion of the state are interested, has
been losing money during the past 12
months and if something is not done
to reduce its expenses, will be forced
to discontinue operation. This will be
a calamity to every citizen and proper
ty owner along its line. The following
letter was addressed to the employees
of the railroad by Mr. Geo. J. Bald
win, the president on February 13th,
in his efforts to solve the difficult sit
| uation:
To the Employees of the Gainesville
Midland Railway, Gentlemen The
I Gainesville Midland Railway has lost
I in operating expenses over and above
I all income and revenue during the last
twelve months $84,484.87, and this loss
is continuing with no apparent pros
pect of improvement. Under these
conditions, which havei crippled the
road, it is clearly apparent to everyone
that unless immediate relief can be
secured it can no longer continue to op
erate. , We have no credit and no
means of securing additional funds.
The wages of employees have increas
ed from the sum of $83,343.20 paid in
1917 to $180,913.02 in 1920.
The principal owners of the road and
mortgage creditors have indicated a
willingness to defer any interest or in
come on the investment of over a mil
lion dollars in this property for the
next six months in order to relieve the
situation as far as they can.
The proposition is therefore made
to the employees to devote all income
from the operation of the road during
this period to the payment of necessa
ry operating expenses and to the wages
of employees for the above period of
six months, and to readjust the payroll
on this basis.
This is the only possible way the
road can continue to operate and we
therefore urge your serious considera
tion and immediate acceptance of this
plan.
Yours very truly,
GAINESVILLE MIDLAND RY.
Geo. J. Baldwin, President.
Salmon Worth Taking.

of about "one-tenth of this amount in
a properly conducted health campaign.
Another county reports the saving
of about $270,000.00 by a well con
ducted anti - malaria campaign. To
conduct this campaign it cost only
about one-sixteenth of the total
amount saved. In other words, for
every dollar .spent by the health work
ers sixteen dollars were saved to the
citizens of the county.
Health Is really cheap, although it
is a purchastble commodity. Disease
is very, very expensive.
THE HARDER THE TIMES THE
MORE WE MUST PROTECT OUR
HEALTH.
Former Winder Woman
Wins Success As Artist
Mrs. Kathleen Hulme Smith, of
Athens, Ga., made $5400 last year from
her paintings.
She painted both portraits and land
scapes. Among her subjects were old
Georgia dwellings.
One of her patrons, a man who lives
near Athens, has commissioned her to
paint his boyhood home, and will pay
SI,OOO for the picture.
When Mrs. Smith was a little girl,
her teachers and her mother scolded
her for constantly drawing pictures on
her writing tablets and even the walls.
But the scolding did no good; she
kept at her sketching. When she be
gan taking drawing lessons at Lucy
Cobb, her work immediately excited
comment.
During her eight years there she
was grounded in the principles of
painting by Miss Jennie Smith.
The artist’s marriage did not lessen
her interest in paint brushes. On the
other hand, while attending to house
keeping and proving the best of moth
ers to her two little daughters, she
still found time to paint in her new
home in Winder, Ga.
Two years ago her husband died of
influenza and she returned to Athens
to live with her parents,, Mr. and Mrs.
George H. Hulme. She continued her
art work, and what began as a pas
time has brought in within a year a
return of $5,400.
She is just completing the picture
for which she is to receive SI,OOO. The
canvas measures 40 by 72 inches. Mrs.
Smith sketched it during several visits
to the scene. Perhaps she has done
nothing so good, certainly nothing bet
ter —her thorough and painstaking
workmanship and knowledge of draw
ing are excellently exhibited on this
large canvas. It is a typical glimpse
of a colonial home in the country, a

farm yard nearby, a cotton patch, well
and servant’s house in the background
shaded by huge trees. She has grasp
ed the scene with such cleverness oe
thinks a brook runs back of these
trees on through the meadow farther
away. j
The wish of the patron to have the
picture of his father and the old col
ored man servant on the front porch
entailed working from photographs.
Mrs. Smith has breathed into physical
resemblance the spirit and quiet per
sonality of the little group. The
painting of these into the scene shows
the imaginative vein of the artist.
There is a poetic quietness about the
whole scene.
Earlier in the year Mrs. Smith paint
ed one of the oldest homes in Athens —
making two pictures, one for the own
er and the other for the daughter of
the house who lives in Kentucky. Her
sincere handling of her subject and
ease of brushwork brought flattering
financial results.
Mrs. Smiths painted ten portrait
since January, 1920. She has rare sym
pathy with children and expresses it
finely in her paintings of them. The
soft flesh is rendered with such tine
fidelity one expects the picture to
speak. Her portraits of grown-ups
are equally as tine. The eyes of her
subjects and the general color are es
pecially noteworthy.—Sunday's Jour
