rhe claytonTribune Published Every Friday By THE CLAYTON TRIBUNE COMPANY Official Organ of Rabun County. One Dollar a year in advance. One D'olfar and twenty five cents on time. 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 ed to join the c mrch with no> change n her except alio is called sister now while selling liquor. — Gahlonega Nu aii oi. Mr. Nugget; vVe think taut you Im. o juat over done the thing a iittie. Rabun county is in the same circuit and has the same Solicitor General and Judge that your county, Ltimpkin has, . we believe that both of.these court cials are gentlemen of high lionoi . character and above practicing partiam. and fraud. The woman, whom you re fer to, in our county, if we know her, 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, with suen accusations as this brougii against them.

There are other people hi this won. wno should oe talked to and prayed for, instead of being taUe J about and cursed. Inconc.usion, we do not know whetnei you t .eri i e lurch or not, but if you a a.,: ,h me to Rabun county a hoar our proacners preach and get a - quainted with our people; we believe that you will be more considerate in what you write about us in thw future; wid i. would be no dishonor to you for tne.n to call you brother.

Wir.I.E-m WlIJSON FINLET wUsborn *1 rim® Christhm, .Mississippi, an September 2s 16.53. and ctv* It red railway service in NW OFWrds in- 1373- During I lie stimnliny (wcnty-tv*o years he had * varied expe- rirr^re, earning sieailv promoliim end a growing n-po 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.

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.
