THE VALUE OF A NEWSPAPER
I nevertook a newspaper that did
not pay me more than I paid for it.
One time an old friend of mine
started a paper way down south and
sent a copy to me and I subscribed
for it just to encourage him and af
ter awhile it published an order to
sell a lot at public auction. So l
inquired about the lot and told a
friend to run it up to SSO. He bid
it off at S3B and it sold in less than
a month for SIOO, so 1 made $62
clear by taking that paper. My fath
er told me that when he was a
young man he saw a notice in a
paper that a school teacher was
wanted avy off in a distant county,
and he went and got the position,
and a little girl was sent to him and
after awhile she grew up sweet and
beautiful and he married her. Now
if he had not taken that paper what
do you suppose would have become
of me? I would have been some oth
er fellow, or maybe I wouldn't have
been at all.—Bill Arp.

Butts county has a large number

NEWS NOTES FROM THE
UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA
The February number of the
Georgia Alumni Record has just
come off the press. The attractive

The Georgia Glee and Mandolin
Club is rapidly rounding into shape
in preparation for its two week’s
tour which will begin March 21.
Although the itinerary has not been
definitely decided upon, it will em
brace all the leading towns and
cities in the state. The progi-am of
the club this year is divided into
two acts with the olio coming be
tween. The first act will be the
minstrel setting, “The High Court

contain the specialties of the club
including Mallon Sheffield and his
guitar, Pate Carson, the dravang
wonder, the Mandolin Quintet, the
Sentimental Four, and the Saxa

Cucoo land and it promises to be
a riot of frivolity. The entire cast
of -15 will be in this act and the
costumes will be both unusual and
attractive.

THE RAILROAD SITUATION - "‘
High freight rates are killing bus
iness, and low freight rates, under
present conditions, would kill the
railroads. Nominally, the railroads
have been returned to private con
trol, but, as a matter of fact, they
are not being operated by their
owners, except in name. They are
still under the complete domination
of the railroad unions, installed in
this position by the government.
From beginning to end government
management of the railroads was
rotten to the core. The government
permitted the establishment of a
system by which the employes prac
tically dictate the management of
the roads.
Every fanner, merchant and man
ufacturer who sees the effect of the
high freight rates which now must,
be paid should realize that he is
personally responsible for this crime
against business to the extent that

he permitted the government to turn
the railroads over to the railroad
employes. Officers of railroads have
little or no control over their man
agement. They are not real man
agers. They are merely thepuppets
played upon by railroad employes.
So long as the employes can, under
government direction, absolutely
dominate the management of rail
loads, lower freight and passenger
rates are an impossibility.
Railroads, loaded as they are with
government extravagance and gov
ernment inefficiency and govern
ment permission to railread unions
to run every detail of the railroad
business, are headed down the road
to ruin, unless a change takes place.
The ruination of the railroads
would only intensify the inadequacy
of transportation facilities.
If railroads should be turned back
to government control, conditions
would be ten times worse. We would
simply have the mistakes and the

inefficiency and higher rates inten
sified. Every well-wisher of the
country, every man who ships a
pound of freight, every man whose
business is hampered by railroad
impoverishment and railroad inef
ficiency, may well pray to be deliv
ered from government ownership or
government control, or the control
of railroad brotherhoods.
Without u repeal of the Adamson
Law, and all other unvuise legislation
which takes the control of railroads
out of the hauds of their owners and
puts it into the hands of incompe
tent and radical railroad-union men,
a more and more desperate trans
portation condition is incvitible.
Until the country comes to a foil
realization of this situation and
forces a repeal of the unwise rail
road legislation, put through by a
socialistic administration, dominated
by rank, radical labor unions, we
can have no sofety for business of
any kind.—Manufacturers Record.
