Improved Transportation Condi
diticns Prove Big Saving to
Shippers
ATLANTA, February 15.—At
lanta zusiness men, bakers ana
manufacturers have expressed their
appreciation of the successful ef
forts of the railroads to meet the
increasing demand for prompt
movement of commodities in the
past year, and just as it was im
possible to measure the losses suf
fered during the period of inade
quate and interrupted railroad
transportation, so it is impossible
to measure the savings which have
been made possible by these im
proved transportation conditions.
For example, figures just com
piled by one traffic line outside of
the South show that the average
movement of its freight cars a day
In 1923' increased 8.9 per cent
more than the daily movement in
1922, and the increase in ton miles
a car was 36.3 per cent.
Speeding up freight costs the
railroads increasingly large sums.

.faster requires bigger locomotives,

The railroads, Atlanta railway
executives stated today, spent sl,-
in 1923 for improve
ments of this kind. They alsp built
new lines and extensions to open
new trade territories so as to co
operate more closely with business.
Railroads as Atlanta executives
point out, have been able to make
additions and betterments to im
prove the service only as income
would warrant. It income were de
creased through lowering the rates,
improvements would have to be
curtailed, it was stated here.
Merchandise is invested capital
and the longer it is intransit the
longer the capital is tied up. If the
prices fall en route, some body
loses, and the loss is ultimately
passed to the consumer.
Better railroad service has re
duced losses of this kind, in the
opinion of Atlanta railroad men.
Lower rates, it is claimed, would
tend to make it impossible for the
railroads to provide the service
which makes these savings possible.

KIILTBE BANK TO
FRECT BUILDING
Modern Structure Will Be Placed
i On Site of Present Banking
House There
MOULTRIE, February 15.—The
Moultrie Banking Company will
erect a modern bank building on
the site of its present building,
it is announced. Decision to go
forward with the (building
was reached at a meeting of the
board of directors of the institu
tion Tuesday afternoon. While
the new home of the bank is in
the process of construction, the
Moultrie Banking Company will
establish temporary quarters. Just
what building will be used had not
been decided on at the time this
was written. Two or three loca
tions, however, were under consi
deration.
At the meeting of the directors
Tuesday afternoon, a building com
mittee was appointed. This com
mittee was instructed to carry for
ward the building program as
rapidly as possible. Two tentative
plans have been submitted. One of
these calls for a three-story struc
ture and the other for a two-story
building. The building committee
will first complete negotiations with
architects, and after the plans are
approved the contract for the con
struction work will be lot.

U.S. TO KILL CAVUSES
Yakima Indian Reservation
About to Be Overrun By
‘Wild Horses’ is Claim
SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 15.
The King County Humane Society
has started a campaign to persuade
the United States government to
slay 15,000 cayuses on the Yakima
Indian Reservation, the other side
of the Cascade Mountains from
iiere and nothward from the Colum
bia River.
“From a few culls turned out by
the Indians these horses have grad
ually multiplied,” said Charles M.
Farrer, executive secretary of the
society. “The range is fenced with
wire for the most part, and bunches
of the ponies have got into the the
lanes between the fences and been
run down by automobiles. Because
they raid ranches, angry ranchers
shoot them. The wounded struggle
off to die, but often before they
do so crows, magipes and coyotes
pounce upon them.”
Mr. Farrer explained that if the
ponies were done away with the
government could rent the range
for grazing stock, thus producing
an income of several thousand dol
lars annually for the Indian wards
of the government on the reserva
tion.
An arrangement several years
ago to kill the eayuses and make
chicken feed and fertilizer gs ‘them
fell through because the Indians
demanded $8 a head instead of $5.

! “Ruth of the Range”
By Paul Forrest •
Adapted from the Patheserial
Copyright, 1923, by Bathe Exchange, Inc.
Peter Van Dyke knelt before th<
unconscious girl, stricken with re
morse at the unexpected result ol
his hastily fired shot. The desire
for vengeance that had consumed
him for years died within him. He
tried frantic and ineffectual methods
to revive the innocent victim of his
lolly.
Upstairs Bruce Burton was
looking for Ruth Remington. He
found her father, chuckling as at
some pleasant joke.
I just escaped from the secret
laboratory,” he told Bruce. “Van
Dyke surprised me there and
threatened to shoot me if I didn”.
give him the formula.”
“Good God!” cried Bruce. Ruth!
bhe went in by the outer secret
passage.
With few words Bruce told Rem-.'
mgton about their wild goose
to the Jenkins’ cabin and how, on
their return, Ruth sensed some
tmng unusual about to happen and
chose the secret entrance to the
house.
hey rushed into the laboratory.
, For heaven's sake, 'do some
t-img!’ Van Dyke implored them.
Ina y he badly injured—and
die!
Quickly, deftly, Remington ex
amined his daughter’s head, and
the tenseness was gone from his
voice when he said, “It is but a
slight scalp wound. The bullet just
grazed her head-—she will recover”
A moment later Ruth stirred and
opened her eyes. She» smiled
faintly, but her expression changed
to fear when she saw Van Dyke.
‘‘lt is all right, Miss Ruth,” he
said. - “For many years I have
hgted your father and waited for
an opportunity to satisfy that
hatred. But that is past! Neither
you nor your father need ever fear
me again. To prove my sincerity,
I’ll give you some information that
will aid you to defeat the con
spirators who seek to crush him!”
He then told them of the plot of
the Olympus Coal Company to de
stroy the lava pit—the only source
of supply of the coalava from
which Remington made his Fuelite.
“Place a strong guard there at,
once!” he advised. “No time can'
be lost, for they are shipping the
dynamite now.”
With this final advice, Peter Van
Dyke left them, never again to be;
a menace to the House of Reming
ton. j
Van Dyke was right! Ever/i
other means having failed them, the*
Olympus Coal Company had sent
Stephen Winthrop, their most re
sourceful man, to Painted Post.'.
He, having failed to secure the!
papers, was playing his reserve
card. He personally supervised the
loading of the dynamite, which
slipped out of town, headed for the
open country.
However, so that no blame could
be attached to Winthrop for what
would happen 'later, it was ar
ranged that the dynamite wagon
was to be held up in the moun- 1
tains. Black Harper, newly em
ployed by the coal company, was
in charge of the hold-up gang,
which would also do the dynamit
ing.
At the Remington Ranch the
cowboys gathered together with all
possible haste. Ruth, pausing be
fore the mirror in the hall to
straighten her hat on her auburn
curls, saw an aviator’s hood and
gloves on the table. She showed

j “These must belong to Judith,
■ who forgot them in her haste. I
wonder if she is the driver of that
mysterious plane that hovers
around here so often 1”
Bruce begged Ruth not to ac
company. the men, as she needed
rest and time to recover from the
! shock of Van Dyke’s shot. But
Ruth could not be idle while othera
worked, and she was all for going,
"I don't think it's wise,’ said
Bruce, “but suppose we put it to a
vote with the boys.”
Ruth unwillingly assented, but
when they voted that she should
leave the job to them, she kissed
Bruce and waved to then? as they
dashed down tbe drive.
However, man proposes and
woman does as she pleases. A few
minutes later she was on her pony
and off for the lava pit.
Captain X, for a reason Ruth
had never been able to fathom, was
ever on the alert in the protection
of the Remington interests. Hid
den behind bushes, lie witnessed
the strange hold-up—he watched
the men carry the dynamite by
hand over the hill and off in the
direction of the lava pit. There
could only be one interpretation.
He spurred his horse. Fie must
warn, the Remingtons. Fortun
j ately, he met Bruce and the men
! on the road.
! “There’s not a minute to lose,”
f he said. “They're placing dynamite
t at all the entrances and enough in
I the pool to blow the bottom out
and let the coalava drain off under
ground. If we don’t stop them the
damage will be irreparable!”
They were about to dash on
when Ruth appeared over the hill
Bruce grinned.
“Since yo« v?e soon to be my
wife,” he tola her, “I might as
well get used .to letting you have
your own way. There is nothing
like knowing in advance." ,
It was decided that they should
break up into groups. Bruce and
Ruth went in one direction. Har
per saw the cowboys coming and
gave orders to head them off and
use any means necessary to keep
them from the cavern. Everything
■ was set and the dynamite was to be

i pl-.sion from the air and then re

Ruth grubbed Bruce’s arms ex
' citedly. "Bruce, you pilot the plane
and I’ll drop ever the cavern with
the parachute. It’s our only
j chance!”
I No sooner sugge:‘cd than acted
I upon. Bruce thrilled to be flying
■ again—the first time s ince those
' stirring days in the aviati m service
in France! Ruth stood on the
I wings, the parachute strapped on
her back. The wind whipped her
■ hair against her face; the noise was
deafening; she thrilled as she never
■ had before.
Bruce, signalled her to let go.
he unfastened the parachute—the
wind caught and tossed it and filled
it—she was yanked into space,
swinging, swaying dizzily—glid
ing ever nearer to the earth, which
seemed to be coming up to meet
her.
Now, w’hlle the Olympus Coal
Company was bent on utterly ruin

they wished no harm to conic to
I either Remington or his daughter.
' Accordingly, when Black Harpe*
' saw Ruth floating over the lava pit
he tried to avert J catastrophe.
' “She’ll land right over the charge.

he ordered. “We must save her!'
But he was too late.
Innocent of her Immediate dan
ger, Ruth was delighted that the
parachute dropped in such an ad
vantageous spot. It came down
about ten feet from the foot of a
steep slope, down which she slipped
and rolled, scratched and dirty, but
whole. She started to run, but her
foot, caught in a wire—the wire
that would set off -the explosion,
Frantically she tried to break it.-

MAD’ CAT TERRORIZES
CHISM’S RESTAURANT
VALDOSTA, February 15. —
A mad cat —if not a cat suffering
with rabies—caused excitement at
Chism’s place Wednesday. The ani
mal seemed to be in a fighting mood
and when an effort was made to
dispose of it, it fought savagely.
Many dishes were broken, show
cases damaged and other things
torn up before the cat was finally
dispatched.
