STATE ROAD EARNING
~ NEARLY FIVE PER CENT
Atlanta, Aug. B.—'That the Western
& Atlantic railroad, which is owned
by the state of Georgia and leased
to the Nashville, Chattanooga & St.
Leuis railrodd, is now earning nearly
5 per cent net on a valuation of $20,-
000,000, is shown by returns which
the Nashville, Chattanooga & St.
Louis has madc to the comptroller
general of the state.
These retuirns show that for the year
ending May 1, 1916, the net earnings
of the Western & Atlantic, over and
above the rental paid to the state,
was $522,436.00.
The annual rental paid to the state
is $420,000. -
This rental added to the net earn
ings over and above rental make the
total net earnings of the road, for
the year ending May 1, 1916, 5953,448.-
BC.
Comptroller-General William A.
Wright has estimated the Western &
Atlantic ‘railroad to be worth $20,000,-
000 and has stated that he deems this
to bhe conservative estimate.
Some pcople who are advacating the
sale of the Western & Atlantic rail
road have declared Gen. Wright's es
timate to be too liberal and have claim
ed that the road is only worth be
tween $12,000,000 and $15,000,000.
That the estimate of the comptroller
general is not a liberal estimate, but
in reality is a conservative estimale,
is now conclusively demonstrated by
the actual net earnings of the road,
as disclosed by the lessee.
Gen. Wright's estimate is rendered all
the more conservative by the fact that
5 per cent net, which is approximately
the actual earnings of the Western and
Atlantic on the valuation of $20,000,-
000, is an exceedingly good return up
on any investment. ’
In additional o the annual rental
of $420,012 which is paid for the Wes
tern and Atlantic railroad by the
Nashville, ()attanooga and St. Louis
railroad the latter pays the state of
eGorgia one-half of 1 per cent per an
num on the net éarnings of the road,
over, and above the rental.
Once a year the Nashville, Chatta
nooga and St. Louis railroad files with
the comptroller-general a sworn return
of what the Western and Atlantic has
earned during the preceeding twelve
months, over and above rental. On this
return it pays the tax of one-half of
1 per cent.
This tax for the year ending May
1, 1914, amounts.to $2,667.18.

RHEUMAT!SM AND KIDNEY AF
FECTION OF EIGHT YEARSYS
STANDING HAVE ENTIRELY DIS
APPEARED, HE SAYS.
“Yes, sir, it's a fact, this time last
month I was one of the sickest men
you ever saw, said Frank Jinks, who
ives on the Martin Mill pike, South
Knoxville, Tenn., “And today I feel as
well and strong as T ever felt in my
life.
“l have been suffering {rom kidney
troubles for the past eight years, and
the pains in my back at time would
almost kill me. When I had these
spells T would have to quit work. T
‘have lost as high as three weeks at
a time. I also suffered a great deal
with rheumatism. About six wyek:;
ago T had it so bad T couldn’'t walk
without crutches. My feet were so
swollen T couldn’'t even put on my
shoes. My suffering was terrible and
cnce or twice it 2ot so bad T cried.
“The dector seemed unable to give
me ary reiic! and his medicine seem
ed to term my stomach to pieces. You
do lot have to take my word for what
[ am teiling you—there are 20 people
who knew of my c¢ondition who wiil
tell you the same thing. My case has
heen the ialk of the neighborhood, and
cveryboedy is praising the medicine.
“pPanize has done me so much good
I hardly kncw how to praise it. Only
two weeks after I began taking it I
‘ was able to lay my crutches aside and
T can now walk as good as anybody
\Ox.ly a few days ago I walked from
‘the race track to the South Knoxville
‘Macadam company, a distance of about
feur miles. T am now back at work
again and can go about as good as any
body. It lias not only cured my back
and Iheumatism, but I feel absolutely
well in every way. I simply can't get
enough (o eat and everything seems
to agree with me. My strength has
returned also, and I have gained ten
pounds in weight. When I go to bed
at night 1 sleep like a child—some
thing I haven’t done for months.
“If anybody doubts what you tell
them about my case, just tell them to
call new phone 1923-B and I will be

COTTON CONSUMPTION
WORLD TAKES 14,171,000 AMERI
CAN BALES IN 1915—SURPASSES
LAST YEAR.
New Orleans, Aug. 9.—The world's
taking of American cotton during the
vear ended July 31, was placed at 14,-
171,000 bales by Secretary Hester of
the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, in
his annual report issued today. These
figures compare with takings of 13,
591,000 the previous season, and 14,
512,00 bales two years ago.
Southern mill takings pilaced a 4-
407,000 bales broke all former recoras,
according to the report, as did tak
ings of 550,000 bales by Japan, China
and East Indian mills.
Secretary Hester placed the total
value of the commercial crop for the
year at $765,700,560, compared with
$562.422,978 the preceding year, and
$577,844,114 the year before.
“These values,” the report explains,
“are for cotton only, and do not in
clude the value of the cotton seed,
which this year more than any past
year constitutes a speciaily important
item. The value of the 1915 crop with
sced added would total $958,260,000;
the previous year $749,384,987, and the
vear before $1,134,444,114.”
The colintry’s commercial crop for
the year was 12,938,265 bales, a de
crease under the previous year of 2,-
169,755 bales and 1,944,237 bales un
der two seasons ago.
l 5,000 CATTLE DiPPED.
Thomasville, Aug. B.—Grady county
reports that in twenty-three dipping
vats a total of 5,500 cattle have been
dipped. There are sixteen other vats
{ just completed, but not yet in use.
Thomas county farmers who have
had their vats dynamited are rebuild
ing them and expect to continue to
dip their cattle as they have realized
the great benefit derived from ri(h_ling
the cattle of ticks. The commission
ers state that wherever help is desir
ed in rebuilding these vats they are
willing to supply it.
Texas is the seventh state in point
of wealth, first in size and fifth in pop
ulation,
