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.

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.

LITTLE—STALLING ANOTHER CARROLL BOY JOINS THE MARINES Miss Nannie,Mae Little i J/. Stallings were joined bonds oif matrimony Bunds 3gg Viva Anderson. 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.

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. Senior B. Y. P. U. Will Ijave Charge of Services MASONIC NOTICE The Senior B. Y. P. U. of the Taber nacle-will have charge of the services at the preaching hour next Sunday night at 7:45. Come and worship with us. The subject under discussion will be: “Does Paul and James Agree About Salvation? Is it By Faith or Works?” Let’s get this straight Sunday night. Come! MRS. JAMES HARMAN, Secretary. 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 and we all shall succeed.
