Official Organ of Rabun County.
One Dollar a year in advance.

Entered at the Post Office of
Clayton, Ga., as second
class mail matter
F, D. Singleton Editor,
$25,000,000 will be appropriated
a year for federal aid to road
construction in the various states.
Through the efforts of our able
Senators, Smith and Bacon, Geor
gia will get $771,250 00 a year.
What will Rabun get?
Instead ot Rabun’s part being
put in the jack pot, or used as a
campaign fund as usual, to cause
hard feelings and misrepresent
some one rJ we should get the
business,, men of our county
together and ask for it to be placed
on our public roads where it will
benefit every body, ^Uncle Sam
does not help the people unless
they ask for it, and also help
themselves. We need help and
we should ask for it.
The government is now taking
up more than 30,000 acres of land
in our county, and manyj of our
public roads are leading through
these lands, up one hill and down
another, thereby causing them to
wash and filL.up the Savannah
river with .sand, mud, rocks etc.,
the very thing, they don’tjwant.
We_only have three free* rural
delivery mail routes in the county.
We should have A at least nine,
and if ,we had good roads, we
would be apt to get them.
There are smaller counties than
Rabun in Georgia, which have
more than thirty rural routes.
There is something for u» if wt
will get together and ask for it.
A woman has been sentenced down in
Alabama to work 200 days on the pub
lic roads for selling liquor. Much severer
An women down there than in Georgia.
Why, up in Rabun county a woman 4 wa.s
sent off out of the state by the.court to
keep from hurting her. And not long
aftewards she returned and was allow

her except alio is called sister now
while selling liquor.

Mr. Nugget; vVe think taut you Im. o

she paid a line of $200.00 and all cos'
for selling liquor, and is now trying t
live a christain life; though it is a verj
hard matter foi ary one to live rignt,

It red railway service in NW OFWrds in- 1373- During

sition, in the truffle departments of .-n-VoTaT ritllrouda
<ind in charge of tratti-' associations, i:i tin 1 west umf
soulhwrst. In 1895, soon after the organization of
Southern Railway Company, tie began, as Third 'fiCr-
Frc-sidenf in charge of traffic, Ms servreri for this Com
pany in which, with am interval of a few months i»
1896, lie continned rtntil Ms death eigt-.-'etf years brier.
He became President of this Coinpaot Vvi' fMeeirtliex,
1906, at u moment wlien the work of gi.(ta-ring isi and
welding together its lines into u eonta»thMtvd system
hud been done. The map had been rwaile* There are
no more miles of railroad included in the system today
than there were when tie became i're .id -n(. His task
was, therefore, complementary to tire wo 'h already done
ami the history of the development off the pnrjrerty
during the past seven years is the history of how he
conceived and accomplished that task -*f conservation
and progressive deveiopmenf. During hi* administra
tion the revenues of tlie Company increased -0.95 per
cent, (comparing 1918 with *907), hu* what is even
more his achievement, the balance ot income available
for dividend (but farg'pv pirt buck mto tlie property)
increased 209.07 , ef cent.
This record of materiar success is in no small tneier-
ore the result of Mr. Finley’s policy and practice of
building and strengthening a Working organisation of
the Company so far as concerns persorftiel. Me inaug
urated and steadfastly enforced a rule of promotion
to fill vacancies within the organisation, by recognition
of demonstrated merit, with td* result that he secured
and conserved that loyal identification with tlie inter
est of the South and of the Company, and that sense
of personal resjHinsihility in all ranks of the service,
which is one of tlie most valuable assets tin- Company
has today.
On the public side of his responsibility Mr. Finley
developed largely during the past sevrn «ears. Con
vinced of the duty of accepting the changed conditions
in respect of the administration of industry incident
to the governmental policy of regulation of the rail
ways by public authority, he was nevertheless keenly im
pressed with the apparent lack of understanding on
the part of the public of the problems of railway man
agement. He. therefore, devoted much of Ms time to
the discussion of such questions before representative
audiences in all parts of the country, but chiefly in
the South, and the^Tect upon public. opinion «f his
frank, straightforward and manly u-lterem-e-
tie-litly Iterated doctrine lias been long recog,- ,1
was rem irkably demonstrated by the exp-rv •* *..»•-•
Mrvr bfro received since Ids death from public *
throughout tlie South. He did- much in tin- w;.v to

of understanding o' th* economic necessity, to every

the South, but perhaps bis greatest service of this na
ture was Ids successful Mmpoiglf five tlie promotion of

Gently born and geritfy bred, H was Mr. Findey's
fortune t<V he thrown upon Ids own resources nt an
early age and without the advantages of » nnivCTSity
training and experience usually enjoyed by bis asso
ciates: it was, therefore, a peculiar .-iotisfaction to him
and to Ms friends that in 1910 he received, with tine
assurance that if was m> mere decoration, a degree of
Doctor of Law* from Tolane University irt New 'tr
ie,-ins. the principal sent of learning iff the cuininu nty
where he had spent his youth.
On the personal sate, Mr. Finley was rssenthVly a
gentleman: he denuinstr.rted onr many occasions the
combination in his character of those qualities which
may be expressed by the Wotafe modesty and courage.
