i SAVES DAUGHTER
Advice of Mother do Doubt Pro
Tents Daughter’s Untimely End.
Ready, Ky.—" I was not able to do
anything tor nearly six months,” writes
Mrs. Laura Bratcher, of this place, ‘‘and
was down in bed for three months.
I cannot tell you how I suffered with
my head, and with nervousness and
womanly troubles.
Our family doctor told my husband he
could not do me any good, and he had
to give it up. We tried another doctor,
out he did not help me.
At last, my mother advised me to take
Cardui, the woman’s tonic. I thought
it was no use for 1 was nearly dead and
nothing seemed to do me any good. But
" took eleven bottles, and now I atn able
to do all of my work and my own
washing.
I think Cardui is the best medicine in
the world. My weight has increased,
and 1 look the picture of health. ”
If you suffer from any of the ailments
peculiar to women, get a bottle of Cardui
today. Delay is dangerous. We know
it will help you, for it has helped so
many thousands of other weak women
in the past 50 years.
At all druggists.

VICTORY
The effort to remove the court
house was not successful. It was
proposed to move the place of hold
ing court and elections to oneside
of the district. A petition protest
ing agains the chauge was signed
by about one hundred citizens of
the district. The present location
is near the center and more conve
nient to litigants and votes, and the
mills, gin, blacksmith shop and
store are here.
Rev. .1. R. Anderson, pastor of
the Methodist church, will proba
bly locate at Victory until the par
sonage is completed. Work will be
resumed on the parsonage as soon
as crops are out of the way.
Mrs. Jessie Hamrick and Miss Mit-
tic McDaniel attended the Teachers’
Institute at Carrollton last week.
Mr. Paul Hearn, who was once
connected with the Free Press, is
now editor and publisher of the
Advertiser, at Chesterfield, S. C.
11 is paper is the only one at the
county seat, and as there are 50
candidates announced in last week’s
issue, we presume Paul has located
in a political and patriotic county.
In our last Victory letter the type
had two names mixed. It was not
Fred Causey at Mt. Zion Academy,
hut that fine young man. Lewis
Causey, who graduated with high
est honors, and whose valedictory
was complimented as unusuallv good
in matter and delivery. Fred Cau-
sev. son of Mr. Eugene Causey,
will, we predict, also graduate some
day with honor, but as he is only
four years old, is not quite ready.

Have Manufacturing
Costs Advanced
Since 1880?
1916 Freight Service
At 1880 Rates
Every business man, whether manufacturer or merchant, knows that the cost of
every manufactured article has advanced liemendously since lSSo. The manufacturer
has, therefore, been forced to advance his price to the merchant, and the merchant to
advance his price to the consumer—in proportion to the increased cost of manufactur
ing—or else go into bankruptcy and close up shop.
The Railroads of Georgia are engaged exclusively in the manufacture and sale
of freight and passenger transportation. The transportation is manufactured out of
steel, and iron, and coal, and lumber, and crossties, and brick, and stone, and con
crete, and human brawn and brain.
The selling price of this manufactured article — transportation — was arbitrarily
fixed and promulgated in the year 1880 by the then newly organized Railroad Com
mission of the State of Georgia. The Railroads of Georgia are today operating under
rates ACTUALLY MUCH LOWER than the rates, fixed by the Commission in 1880.
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A REVISION OF RATES UPWARD SINCE 1880.
Has there been an advance in the cost of raw materials which enter into the
manufacture of transportation—steel, iron, •lumber, crossties, brick, stone, concrete,
LABOR?
There has! Below we present a table of 25 necessary articles in daily use by
every railroad in Georgia, showing prices actually paid during the months of August,
1914, January, 1916, and March, 1916, and a fourth column showing the percentage
of increase in prices actually paid by the Railroads of Georgia. The average increased
cost of the 25 articles .of daily use is 77.71 per cent, and much of it is paid to Georgia
producers of the articles.

IMPORTANT NOTE:—In compiIIuk tile above figures, tJie percent increase in March
over August, 1914, the percent of increase to each railroad was totaled and the amount
divided by the number of railroads affected. The figures in the last, column above are, there
fore, not based oil the figures shown in tile first and third columns above, owing to outstand
ing contracts by many of tile railroads.
There has not been any decrease in the price of any article, consequently the
above increases has not been offset, but are NET.
Previous to the establishment of the 1 880 freight tariff the Railroads of Georgia
paid state taxes ONLY, the Constitutional Tax of live mills. The Railroads of Georgia
now pay city, county AND state taxes, which is a tremendous increase in taxes. But
we shall have more to say concerning taxes at a later date.
The above table does not take into consideration the greatest advance in the cost
of manufacturing transportation—and the most important one—LABOR. We shall pre
sent indisputable facts and figures concerning this important matter at a later date.
The people of Georgia expect and are entitled to transportation. It is a FUN
DAMENTAL BUSINESS NECESSITY. The service MUST be supplied. FAIR com
pensation should be paid for that service. Such payment is good business morals and
will enable the railroads to render GOOD service, to which the people are entitled.
A DECLARATION OF POLICY.
It is not and will not be the policy of the Railroads of Geor
gia to propose any system of rates which would unjustly discrim
inate against the Georgia producer in favor of producers located
without the state. Should this principle appear to be violated by
any technical construction of our petition we give assurance that
we will not propose, nor will we attempt to adopt, in actual
practice, any rates at variance with the same.
Intrastate rates should and must be made to conform to interstate rates. The re
vision of Georgia freight rates now proposed simply conforms to the principles fol
lowed by the Interstate Commerce Commission in its long and short haul order, issued
in compliance with Federal Law. No unjust discrimination of any character whatso
ever is contemplated, nor would such discrimination be tolerated.
