RICHLAND FAIR
To Open Wednesday With Vet
erans’ Day—Big Midway
Promised
, RICHLAND, Oct. I.—The most
promising outlook for the Stewart
• Webster-Fair is now seen. Every
body is getting imbued with just a
little more pep and ginger. They are
talking from Montgomery to Savan
nah and from Columbus and Macon
to the Florida line about the Stewart-
Webster Fair, which will be held in
Richland next week, October sth to
Bth, inclusive.
The fair is under the management
of Mr. Littlejohn, a well known car
nival and 1 fair manager, and who
has been in this work for years. He
has spared no money, time or effort
in widely advertising the fair and in
making plans for the success of the
week. On the midway for entertain
ment will be a dog a*nd pony show;
wild west show with over twenty
horses and several other side shows,
besides the usual amusements, such
merry-go-round, Ferris wheel, etc.
'The fair exhibit buildings and the
amusement tents will cover about
seven acres of land located dose in
town on the Weston road.
Employees of the Littlejohn shows
are arriving daily. One of the best
attractions is the thirty-piece 1 and.
Fair catalogues and entry blanks
for exhibits have been mailed. One
thousand dollars will be given away
in premiums, creating a lively inter
est in the"-sbrrounding communities.
! People ate-Jiluniiing to come here
during the fair week who havve rot
been here in years. Farmers ami
tjieir wives are preparing exhibits
that will even surprise the fair man
agement. Articles grown, made or
owned in Stewart and- Webster coun
ties will be seen that will astound the
oldest citizens, when they learn that j
such things are possible in the e;
counties.
The first day (Wednesday) will
open with the. veterans of the Civil
War, Spiihish-A#iiaerican War and the I
World War in~parade. The carnival
band and the Richland band will be
on the grounds with enough music
to put pejxinto a huge arm”. Speeches
by several veterans will be heard. It
is hoped that Major Janies A. Fort,,
of Americus, state commander of the
Legion, will be one of the speaker..
Af 1 noon the local post of the Ameri
can Leginn will serve a barbecue din
ner to the veterans of the three
wars, to the members of the woman’s ,
auxiliary and to the members of the
U. D. C.
' Other days will be equally inter-;
esting. Thursday will be given over
to the merchants and business men as
their day. Special features have been
arranged for that day, too.
Friday will be Children's day. Just j
how many Lund red children will be ,

SENATE RATIFICATION IN

WASHINGTON,' Oct. I.—Repub
' lican leaders look for senate ratifi
i cation of the peace treaties w ith
Germany, Austria and Hungary
about the middle of this month as
I the result of the agreement to begin
I the limitation of debate on October
14.
Senator Harris, of Georgia, will
vote against the treaty of peace with
Germany. lie made that announce
: ment to newspapermen last night.
Senator Harris said:
‘ There is not one Democrat in the
' j senate who is going to vote for the
treaty but will disapprove of a great.
'many things in the treaty. Some
j Democrats are voting for it, as
' I the lesser of two evils, as they see
' i it- |
In fact, even a number of Repub
licans who are supporting the treaty
: are either apologetic or lacking in en
thusiasm. The Republicans are try-:
■ing to rush through the treaty with
out debate, by high handed measures,
but the Democrats are going to dis-’
I cuss it and show the country exact-
I ly what it is.”

Central of Georgia Holds Railroading Is
as Attoractive Now as Ever
Right now, when optomis min all branches of industry is needed more than ever
before, wc regret to note an unorganized by t none the less effective effort to make rail
way work appear unattractive to our yonug men. Non-railway men have expressed
discoruaging views, and even some railway officers have lent their opinions to this
nuprogressive effort. For the most part, fortunately, these views are merely opinions
without a statistic in support
We, of the Central of Georgia Railway, do not susebribe to these pessimistic opin
ions in any single particular. We eblieve —indeed, we know—that the present-day
cophnexity of railawy organization demand 3 men better trained and more resourceful
than ever before, and that opportunities for advancement, to Ihe right men, are as good
as they ever were.
There is danger, however, tat, although unfavorable oipnions of railway work
are false, constant reiteration may result in t heir acceptance as fact, and some promising
yong urailway men may be side-tracked int r other missions of less benefit to themselves
and to the public. Any business is largely what you make it. Railway men should
point out how attractive their business really is.
What other present-day businesses hav ? greater romance, better compensation and
swifter chances so radvancement than railr ading? these three factors—opportunity,
compensation, adventure——are the lodestone that draw noung'men today as truly as
they did their fathers twenty, thirty or forty years ago. What has railroading lost in
these respects that other businesses have gain ed?
i As construction of new lines, with cons iquent opening of new territory, has almost
ceased, perhaps some of the romance has faded out of railroading. The day of the em
pire builder is past. But have other business es fared better ? What competing indus
try has more adventure, even today ? Only on the frontiers of civilization, which have
crept far outside our immediate problem, wi I] you find the great adventures again—and
out there, the chances are, you will find the r ailroaded, next to the soldier, perhaps, the
envied man.
In place of the old frontiers we have something for more productive of opportuni
ties for service—a large population busy in the further development of our country.
In this development the railroads play a part of tremendous importance, for business ol
every kind is dependent upon adequate tran spoliation. In providing that transporta
tion at minimum cost and at the same time i mproving and enlarging the transportation
plant, to keep it abreast with the country’s growth, the present-day railway man has
prolbem bigger than his grandfather and his father faced in the days of pioneer rail
roading, and he is better paid.
But how about advancement? Hs a you ng man in railway work a chance as good
as those in other lines? Will merit find its olace at the top? We believe no other
business offers better opportunity for advancement to the young man who ihsists upon
advancement. Inertia won t push him to the top any more today than it would forty
years ago, but his boss job is always just in front of him, and the pursuit is still the
same old game.
I lie young men who are now coming along in railway service don’t know much
about the conditions that prevailed a genera tion ago, and we doubt that many of them
care. All that a young man who has the righ t kind of stuff in him is concerned about
is the problem of tackling the task confront ing him today, and he doesn’t care a rap
about how somebody did the job before. H e has his own future to carve—and many
young railway men are carving theirs rapid ly today.
lor example, some of.the official positions of the Central of Georgia Railway are
held by men less than thirty years of age. A greater number are held by men between
thirty and forty. Several of the men holding executive positions attained them before
they weic forty years of age. Almost all of the officers, the executives included, won
tneir way up from the ranks, after starting as station clerks, rodmen, ticket sellers, or
stenographers. 1 his proves that opportunity still exists in the railway business. The
Lest man will seie zit, as he always did and always- will. The tame effort wins in rail
way work as other lines and the final rewards compare favorabU with those in most
competing industries.
Ihe editor of an important newspaper wrote the other day: "There is no more
interesting calling than that of railroading. It l is a man’s game, and next to or own
we esteem it as a vocation of less monotony and more adventure’than any other."
I his is a competent outsider s opinion ol the railway business. While we do not
agree with the exception he made, we believe it is otherwise a correct opinion.
Moreover, we believe it would be conducive to the good of the railroads if similar
opinions were adopted and expressed more frequently. We belie.ve the contrary view
point is erroneous, and its adoption by many of our citizens would be detrimental to
the railroads as well as to the public welfare.
Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.
W. A. WINBURN.
President, Central of Georgia Railway Company.
