That the capitalization of the Cen
tral of Georgia Railwny represents only
$22,281 for each mile of track opera
ted, a sum less than the construction
cost of a mile of ordinary hard-finish
ed highway, is the statement of W. A.
Winburn, President of the Central. He
points out that it costs $25,000 per
mile to build such a highway, with
only light grading, and without consid
ering the value of tho land on which
the road is built; while the railway
capitalization represents the right-of-
way, buildings, ballast, ties nnd rails,
heavy' 1 bridges, signals, telephone nnd
telegraph lines, shops, terminals, etc.
Discussing “watered stock’’, Mr.,
Winbtirn nrgues that this contrast
proves the reasonable capitalization cf
the Central of Georgia. He points out
that the railwny must build ftnd main
tain its own tracks, wlioroaB motor
trucks and busses, in competition with
the railways, have tho froe use of hard-
surfaced highways, built and main
tained by public funds, and which
must bo re-built by tax money when
worn out by motor traffico. Ho de
clares further that tho struggle the
railways must mako to oarn- a modest 1
return upon a low .capitalization proves
that there is no “watered stock,” and
that the freight and passongcr rates are
reasonable.
The statement explains the railwny
valuation now under attack by radi
cal agitators who aim at Government
ownership. Mr. Winburn says that the
transportation companies ask only such
treatment us tho Constitution of tho
United States provides, and that to
disregard those provisions would involv"
confiscation of private property and of
investments, made in good faith, such
as has never occurred in American
history.
Below is a schedule of meetings to be

igan have welcomed the offer recently
made by the Henry Ford Hospital and
already more than fifty are undergoing
treatment at the big institution.
AU ;of the veterans are admitted In
tho same maimer as private patients
and Ate treated on exactly tho same '
basis. They nro entitled to and re
ceivable samo quality of servico aud
nre distributed in tho various uuitB in
the hospital according to tho availabil
ity of rooms.
The first thought was to open a spe
cial unit for these men, but the hospi
tal officials on consideration felt tho
men would bo better satisfied if they
were distributed throughout the hospi
tal with tho other patients nnd accord
ingly this plan was carrlod out.
Arrangements for opening, the hospi
tal dftvices free of any charge to nil
disabled vetoraus.of Michigan needing
treatment were made a few weeks ago
at a meeting botween Alvin M. Owploy,
National Communder-of the Amcrlcnn
Legion, Henry Ford, Edsel B. Ford,
President of the Ford Motor Company,
and Hr. Harkucss, State Commander of
tho American Legion.
The. arrangements for the care of the
disabled veterans continue in effect
until’December 31, 1928. If nt that
time Congress has not passod’iiccossnry
legislation to nfford hospitalization of
ex-service men the mattor will como up
for ■ further discussion and tho agree
ment renewed for another definite pe
riod, f
TH$ ex-service men nre admitted fol-
lowiaj recommendations by tho Welfare
Offitt of the American Legion in De-
Tho criminal branch of the city court
of Carrollton wns in session four days
this week. It soemed that fifty per
cent of the cases disposed of were
liquor coses. The most lamentable fact
of this session was that boys In thoir
teens nnd young men were tho defend
ants in thoso cases and several of them
were sentenced to serve terms on tho
chain gang.
Hr. M. W. Hancock Lewis was tried
for assault and battery upon a thir
teen-year old girl. The jury rendered a
verdict of guilty and ho was sentonccd
to servo twelvo months on tho chain

Atlanta, June 7.—There must be some
thing interesting fat the life of a U. 8."
matine. ,aSr«*ldenoed .tty the largpnwa-
ber of Carroll deunty youths who" Sava
entered 'the marines at the local station
in the postoffice building during the
past few wtfSIcs.
The latest to enlist was Howard R.
Garrett, son of Mr. Henry Garrett, of
Carrollton, Ga., who after having been
accepted for a four year enlistment was
transferred to the training camp at
Paris Island, S. C., by Captain George
Bowor, local recruiting officer.
Young Garrett, a strapping youth of
eighteen, was one of the many appli
cants for information recently, as to
the nature of tho service of the ma
rines. He was told by Captain Bower
that among the many features of an
enlistmnt was the opportunity to bet
ter the education by taking up one of
tho many free courses of study being
offered by the Marino Corps Institute,
at Washington, D. C., and that this
could be backed up by a few years of
travel, as tho members of the marine
corps are stationed in various parts of
tho world.
Private Garrett is now in training
at Paris Island, where he will learn the
various drills, and then will stand
ready for service wtih one of the de
tachment of mnrines stationed at home
and abroad. Ho will be urged to take
an active part in healthy out-door exeT-
ciaes, as this is the reason why the sol
diers of the sea are able to keep in the
pink of condition, both mentally and
physically.
No doubt his many friends will bo
receiving letters telling about his expe
rience* in his new position, also about
his travels in foreign lands.

So said our boys in France. And so says one of

Worry, Want and Uncertainty are certainly bit
ter persistent enemies to your happiness. But they
sire never known in the homes of Savings depositors.

introduce you to Security, Happiness and Content-

ment. Meet them today at this Bank. i
If ever an honest attempt was made to subsidize
the farmers it was when the last tariff bill was pass
ed. If you have any doubts, read the Congressional
records.
The Farm Bloc openly determined to place a tariff
on everything the farmer sells and to put everything
he buys on the free list.

Of course this was .not carried out to the letter,
but we came pretty noar to it. A tariff from 1 to 31
per cent was placed on over 20 major products, while
the things the farmer buys, such as agricultural im
plements, wire, breeding animals, fertilizers and
their ingredients, were placed on the free list.
Let the farmer take courage and make a success
