PAGE FOUR Hffl ‘CUTOFF’ OIK TO GH UNUSUAL NAME Correspondent Recites History of Section That Is Now Part of Macon County CONTRIBUTED So many inquiries have been made as to how our community Cut Off received its nabe below: are a few words of explanation, con cerning her rnme Macon and Sumter counties were originally Lee County, the line, somewhere about the “old camp ground,” north of Oglethorpe— North of the old camp groud was Muscogee county, and Macon county was a county as far back as 1853, when the first railroad came to Oglethorpe.. We were cut off from Sumter county about the year 1870 It came about something like this: Two of our pioneer settlers, Jim M Wicker and Woodson Tolen were juror in Americus and their best means of conveyance was on foot (walking) it being a 14 mile walk to Ameri cus for these jurors, so through them the Legislature gave the “Cut Off” formerly Sumter county land, to Macon county, the division to be two creeks, “Camp” and Sweet wa ter” creeks. Camp creek was the line between Sumter and Macon counties After Sumter county gave us to Macon county, sweet water creek became the dividing line. , There is a myth concerning “Sweet Water” creek. During the war of 1851 and 1865 an old pio neer settler was expecting Sherman to march through this section of Georgia and make his terrible raids as he had m other places, so this old settler was fixing to store his provisions when his oxen run away ard spilled his syrup in the creek, hence “Sweet Water” Creek’”— Rev. George G Smith, a Methodist minister wrote one of the most com plete histories of Georgia and Diseases traced io constipation are many —get permanent relief with Kellogg’s Bran Why does constipation breed other diseases? Because it floods your sys tem with dangerous poisons. And the longer you suffer, the more poisons accumulate. That is why constipation ‘should be relieved at once.

It was further stated that every case so far carried to the Supreme Court, as to the constitu tionality of the act, has been up held. This section of the act provides that if the net earnings of any in dividual railroad, under a general level of rates established by the In terstate Commerce Commission to yield “as near as may be” a fail return on railroad property in the aggregate—the definite percentage of return being determined by the commission in advat >ce —amounting to more than 6 per cent on its prop erty valuation, one half of the ex cess over 6 per cent, should be paid back to the government to establish a fund to be used ir. the interest of transportation as a whole. The “recapture” provisions were the corollary to the rate making provisions of the act, for rates ad justed to enable the lines in light traffic territories to survive would necessarily produce excessive earn ings to the smaller number of car riers in heavy traffic districts. To meet this problem of carriers differently situated operating un der the same general level of rates, Congress in the act provided for the division of of the excess earnings of individual roads resulting from a rate level fixed to adequately sustain th country’s transportation system as a whole. The general railroad contingent fund under the decision is not to be used for the benefit of the weaker carriers, it is stated. On the con trary, it is shown that the fund it to be employed for the .aid ot all roads alike—--both th 3 strong and th- weak. The longest jump on record is re ported in Chicago.

ITCHING ECZEMA DRIED RIGHT UP BY THIS SULPHUR Any breaking out of the skin, even fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly overcome by applying a little Mentho- Sulphur, says a noted skin specialist. Because of its gernt destroying proper ties, this sulphur preparation instantly brings cas.e from skin irritation, soothes and heals the eczema right up and leaves the skin clear and smooth. It seldom fails to relieve the torment and disfigurement. Sufferers from skin trouble should get a little jar of Rowles Mentho-Sulphur from any good drug gist and use it like a cold cream.

SIX I COLON POISONING BRINGS OLD AGE Destroys Health and Causes Pre- ; mature Degeneration of all Vital Organs You are a wise man or woman if you understand your colon and keep it in perfect working order. Health, happiness, vigor and long life are the gifts which an active colon gives you—and a lazy colon takes away. Your colon is the last five feet of your digestive canal. It is your sew erage system; your garbage can, so to speak. Keep it clean and you are well and happy; let it stagnate and it will distill the poisons of decay, fermentation (gas) and putrefac tion into your blood, noisoning your brain and nerves so that you are restless, irritable and blue; poison ing your heart so that you are weak, listless and lazy; poisoning your lungs so that your breath is heavy or foul; poisoning your stom ach and digestive organs so that you are bloated, belching and un comfortable with gas pains; poison ing your blood so that your skin looks yellow, sallow and unhealthy; poisoning every part and organ of your body, through your blood, making you look and feel old and ugly long before your time; making your joints and your back stiff and rheumatic; your eyes dull and your brain sluggish. By the perfect law of Nature, .your colon should empty itself three times a day—within ,-n hour after eating. Does your colon work that well? If not, it has lost its tone. What do we mean by tone? Your colon is a hollow muscle. Its walls are made up of long muscle fibres CHEAP MONEY TO LEND We always have money to lend on farm lands at lowest rates and best terms, and you will always save money by seeing us. 1 We give the borrower th e privilege of making payments on the principal at any interest period, stopping interest on such payment.
