PAST YEAR ROMPER
FDR JUF GEORGIA
A recent statement issued by the
Central of Georgia railway accounting
department goes to show that the past
year has been a prosperous one with
the railroad company. The statement
made is a comparison of the business
for the month of May, 1918, with that
of the month of May, 1915. Good busi
ness,' however, for the other eleven
months is indicated in this report,
which is as follows:
For the month of May, 1916, the op
erating revenues amounted to $978.-
564.82, an increase of 14.03 per cent
over the same month of 1916; operat
ing expenses amounted to $736,197.39,
an, jac’fbase of over 10 per cent, over
May of 1915; net operating revenues
increased 27 per cent, the amount
being $190,228.28 for May of 1915.
Likewise in the comparison of the
eleven months ending with May 31,
1916, an increase is found over the
eleven i. .>tns preceding. For the
period ending in 1916 operating reve
nues amounted to $11,608,078.95, a
small increase; for the same period a
small decrease is' shown in favor cf
the latter one in the operating ex
ponses; ops rating income for the latter
period ’’ncreased about $400,000 over
that of re former period.
Os the total operating expenses,
$436,655.01 (59.33 per cent of the total)
were distributed on payrolls to ap
proximately 9,539 persons, substan
tially all of whom reside on the com
pany’s lines. This is an average of
approximately $14,085.64 per day.
The sum of $215,418. 34 (29.26 per
cent of the total) were expended for
materials and supplies, the cost of

FRUIT EXCHANGE IS
GBATIFIEMERY MUCH
ATLANTA, Ga., July I.—The Geor
gia Fruit exchange, which is the co
operative organization of the peach
growers of the state, is particularly
gratified, according to reports today,
over the prompt sale for cash on the
cars of so great a proportion of this
year’s crop.
It seldom happens, as is the case
this year, that considerably more than
fifty per cent, of the peaches so far
have been sold f. o. b. on the tracks at
the points where grown. This means
the cash money is in the hands of
the grower before the peaches begin’
to move. Out of 295 carloads of
peaches handled by the exchange up
to Tuesday, 181 cars were sold for
cash on the tracks.
The total movement from Georgia
up to that time was 375 cars and the
returns for the entire week will show
a total shipment of 700 cars up to to
day. The fruit is now chiefly going to
the smaller markets. The markets
generally are calling for peaches.
Trices are reported satisfactory. It is
anticipated that the July movement
this year will be about one thousand
cars less than last year.
or operation.
The great bulk of the operating ex
pense represents money distributed in
the local territory which the company
serves.
The company spent during the month
for improvements to its property $91,-
169.23, as against $34,145.63, for the
same month of the previous year, an
increase of $57,023.60, or 167.00 per
cent.
The above facts are undoubted proof
of the general prosperity felt by the
people of Georgia.
HELP FDR ASYLUM IS
WANTED FDR GEORGIA
ATLANTA, Ga., July I.—Powerful
effort will be made by state officials
and friends of the state insane asylum
at Milledgeville to secure from the leg
islature this session the imperatively
needed appropriations for a new build
ing for white females, and a new
building for negroes at that institu
tion.
Notwithstanding the condition of the
state’s finances, Governor Harris put
the state’c duty to its insane first'
and foremost in his annual message to 1
the general assembly, declaring it til
be “Georgia’s greatest charity,” and
asserting that the state “is bound to
care for the helpless insane.”
As a resqlt of the fact that the state
insane asylum has not had a new
building of any character in the last
twelve years, the white femals and the
negro departments are not only crowd
ed beyond reasonable limits, but are
compelled to take care of double the
number of patients for which they
were built. These unfortunates are
herded together almost like cattle, two
living and sleeping in an apartment
made for one.
The report of the trustees, submit
ted to the legislature, shows among
ether things, that while insanity does
not ordinarily shorten life, the death
rate at the asylum is four times as
great among the whites as among the
general population, and more than ten
times as great among the negroes.
No Convicts In
The Ranks With
Fifth Regiment
ATLANTA, July I. Members of
the Fifth regiment of the National
Guard of Atlanta, which left yester
day for mobilization camp at Macon,
gave the people distinctly to under
stand that there are no pardoned con
victs in their ranks.
In granting a pardon a few days ago,
Governor Harris casually remarked
that the man receiving the pardon
could show his patriotic spirit and his
determination to become a good citizen
in no better way than by enlisting for
service in Mexico.
By some misconstruction the gover
nor's remark was understood to mean
that convicts who would agree to en
list in the National Guard would be
pardoned by the governor, provided the
offense for which they -were sentenced
did not involve moral turpitude. Im
mediately there was a flood of letters
to the governor’s office from convicts
in various camps over the state, one
man writing that he committed mur
der, but the jury only found him guil
ty of manslaughter.
The governor has been at cnosider
able pains to correct the misunder
standing for which he was in no way
responsible, and all convict’s applica
tions for pardons on such terms will
te turned down, because no pardons
will be issued, except in the regular
way.
Children Can
Stay at Home
Just the Same
ATLANTA, Ga„ July I.—Atlanta
mothers have given up the idea that
their children must be taken to the
mountains at the seashore in the sum
mer to escape the heat and find a
proper place to play. They have dis
covered that the most enjoyable and
most beneficial play in which their lit
tle folks ever engaged is the scientific
ally conducted play on the city play
grounds supervised by experts in
child study and wholesome games.
Hundreds of children in Atlanta
throng the play-grounds every day,
and ministers, teachers, physicians,
mothers and others who have studied
the subject are unanimous in their
opinion that the city has never made a
greater investment than the compar
atively small amount of money appro
priated for play-grounds.
THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
ANOTHER ARMY WILL
GD TB THE BORDER
ATLANTA, Ga., July I.—There’s an
other army going to Mexico, but it’s
not the army of the United States. It
will pitch its tents along with Uncle
Sam's soldiers, but its ammunition will
be reading matter, home comforts anl
ministrations instead of gunpowder.
The Salvation Army will send as
many officers as it can spare to the
front. Brigadier A. W. Crawford,
commander of this division, with At
lanta as his headquarters, has offered
the services of the army to Governor
I Harris and he telegraphed the army
officers in the four southeastern states
to do the same, and they have done so.
The girl members of the Salvation
Army are as anxious to go to Mexico
as the first recruits that joined the
Fifth regiment. Three of them in At
lanta, Lieutenant Saphronia Curts, Ca
det Reba Crawford and Cadet Edith
Ayers, said they would like nothing
better, but in all probability the army
will send only its male officers to the
front.
The Salvation Army will work in
Mexico as the Salvation Army works
in Europe. Four thousand of the
Salvationists are in active services in
the trenches, but there are many oth
ers in field tents in France, Germany.
Russia and the other warring coun
tries.
Field tents like these will be estab
lished in Mexico. There the boys in
khaki will find a place to write home,
a place to read, spiritual advice, if
they want it; a kind word and a
friendly hand always.
Atlanta Puts
In a Claim In
Another way
ATLANTA, Ga., July 1. —The old
man embroidery expert in the world is
the greatest distinction claimed by
Roy Lee Craycraft, of this city, a
bachelor sixty years old, who lives in
two worlds every day—one the world
of ordinary, humdrum events; and
the other a world of dreams in which
he conceives and executes beautiful
embroidery designs with a needle that
is surpassingly clever, and in which
he devotes himself with loving care to
a hot house filled with flowers.
From the beginning of the day to
the close of the day. Craycraft is en*
gaged in the unromantic business of
selling canned goods, meat, lard and
other staple and fancy groceries.
But from the beginning of the even
ing until its close, the old man wan
ders through his paradise of dreams,
turning out exquisite center-pieces at
the rate of six a week, raising the
most lovely flowers and feasting his
imagination in works of romantic lit
erature.

Tllf ARMY AND IHf
PROGRAM AS FORMED
The army and navy program just at
this time is most interesting and es
pecially are the expenditure side. The
features of special interest are the
large expenditures, relatively speak
ing, for the army and navy. These
total over $96,000,000, or 35 per cent cf
the total expenditure.
The army program is given under
the heading of “Military equipment
completion.’’ The amount appropri
ated for the present fiscal year is
$3,366,480. Each succeeding year
there is a gradual increase until a
maximum of $4,382,480 is reached in
the fiscal year 1920-21. The army ex
tension program is projected to the
end of the fiscal year 1924-25, the total
amount appropriated being $35,741,-
025.
The navy expansion program, under
the heading of “replenishing of arma
ments,” provides for an expenditure of
$25,029,715 during the present fiscal
year, and a total of over $67,000,000 by
the end of the year 1919-20.
BROTHER IS NOW BITTEN
81 MAO DOG ATTACK
Master W. J. Walker, young son of
Mr. and Mrs. Jones Walker, residing
near New Point, was bitten by his pet
dog late Friday, and because of prev
ious incidents in connection with the
regrettable attack upon the young boy,
it is feared serious results may attend
his wound. The little fellow had just
approached the dog when the animal
became suddenly angry and before it
could be pulled off, sank its teeth
deep into the lad’s cheek, just below
the eye.
Several weeks ago this same dog at
tacked Griffin Walker, an older brother
of the little fellow bitten on Friday,
and at the time it was feared the ani
mal might be afflicted with rabies, but
after confining the brute during sev
eral days, its owners decided it would
be safe to again release the dog. Fol
lowing the attack on the younger lad
Friday, the dog was killed, and the
head packed in ice and sent to At
