The public expects service and they should have it. The Central is endeavoring to in still service to the public in the minds of each of its 9,500 em ployees,” said Mr. Robinson. ‘The day of ‘The public be damned’ has passed. Each of us—.public and road—is serving the other. Os the Floridan and the Dixie Limited, Mr. Robinson said there were no finer trains than these in all of America. “We put them on to attract people from the North, the Central West and the Far West—yes, as far as California— and they are coming South by the thousands, passing thorugh Geor gia. “These people have money and many of them come looking for in vestments, and they are investigat ing,” said the speaker. “Florida is getting most of it right now. We people in Georgia must get busy and demand our share of this money. “Recently I was in Miami, a city that has increased its population 441 per cent in a few years. They are new perfecting plans to build a $5,000,000 hotel in Miami this summer. They already have two hoteds that cost two millions or more each, and others costing in the hundreds of thousands. It is the people from the Wet and North that are putting this money into Miami. ‘I was told that each visitor spends on an average $lO per day, and Miami has 100,000 That’s 100, 000 ten dollars bills turned loose in that city each day of the tourist season,” “We people in Georgia you here in Americus—may secure a part of that if we go after it.” Mr. Robinson said Georgia’s need was industries that will convert her natural resouces into the finished products and that the Central has an industrial department devoted to securing industries of this nature for Georgia. “You people, cur industrial de partment tells me, are about ready for a cotton mill,” said Mr. Robin son, “and you’ll have one I feel sure in the near future. The real hard work is the getting of the first industrial plant. After that, the second and third and so on, come easy.” Mr. Robinson said the Central was now preparing to spend s’,- 000,000 on its tracks between Co , lumbus and Birmingham, lowering grades ang straightening cures, §< that the heaviest and finest trains may come into the state over this route. He said the Central has estab lished another department, devote J to the reclamation of so-called worn-out Georgia lands. A fund of SIO,OOO has been appropriated and other aid will enlarge this fund “We must help the farmer to help himself,” he said. “We must, show him that his lands are not wo'-n out, that all they need is scientific tillage.’ He spoke of the slump in Geor gia’s cotton crop and said that railroads, bankers and merchants must aid the farmer in his fight with the weevil. “You know, the boll weevil has gotten all our freight (cotton) and the Fords are getting our passengers,” he said 1 with a smile. He paid a tribute to the memox y of the late President Winburn and spoke in highest terms of the per sonnel of the local Central employ es “each of whom is here for serv ice to you and Americus, from Chan White down to the humblest employe,” said Mr. Robinson. Luncheon was served in the First Methodist church fcy the ladies, where the Rotarians will dine for the next four or five weeks.

Richardson, of Americus, and Dr. Tom Harrold, Jr. Mrs. Chan White on the violin, Miss Helen Argo, at the piano and Miss Grace Collins soloist, aided in the program. real punch in “SINGER JIM M KEE” A motion picture is no strongei than its story. This truth has al ways been adhered to in the case 'of William S. Hart productions, since Mr. Hart’s dramatic training convinced him of the necessity of a powerful story for any stage or screen production. “Singer Jim McKee,” Lis latest Paramount picture, opening Friday at the Rylander theater, is one of the strongest stories of any picture in which he has appeared. The story was written by Mr. Hart him self, and adapted to the screen by J. G. Hawks, one of the best known scenario writers. The story is a western, both modem and period, but it is a western of a distinctive kind. Rather than a thrilling rid ing and shooting melodrama it de pends upon a story of peculiarly in triguing quality, both from the standpoint of freshness of treat ment and or.ginality of twist. There are thrills in the picture too, but the real pinch of the th eg is in the story, the strangely beau tiful theme woven througn the play. The story can only be compared to those gems of O. Henry, that dett master at portraying the little poig ipant quirks of life fishing in tie THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER ’ chanhel of everyday existence, which form the true drama of life. “Singer Jim McKee” is one of those rare stories that makes one want to laugh and cry at the same time.

They become sluggish and weaken; then you may suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizzi ness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather ts bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the chan nels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. To help neutralize these irritating acids, to help cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body’s urinous waste, get four ounces of Jad Salts from any phar macy here; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a lew days, and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer irritate, thus often relieving bladder weakness.
