a hearing before Acting Recorder

ROBINSON TALKS ON
SERVICE TO ROW
Tells Club Members Georgia t
Can Secure Part of Money
Being Invested In Florida
Declaring that few towns its
size is so blessed with passenger
train service a is Americus, Fred
Robinson, general passenger agent
of the Central of Georgia, spoke to
Rotarians Wednesday on “Service
and the Railroads.
“The Central runs 14 regular
passenger trains through Americus
daily, all the year round,” said Mr.
Robinson, “the Seaboard Air Line,
four, and during the winter month-:
we add two more—the Dixie Limit
ed and the Floridan.
“The railroads depend upon the
towns for their existence and the
towns, in return are dependent on
the railroads. 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.

the Third Congressional District,

“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.

Summer Hints
For Young Mothers
The Child Who
Won’t Play
Healthy children love to romp in
summer from early morn until the
last call, and if a youngster mopes
about the house and looks yellow
ish. you may know it isn’t well.
Think over the little one’s diet.
It should be watched more careful
ly in summer. Too much heavy or
raw food causes biliousness and in
digestion.
Usually a thorough cleansing
with Liv-o-lax and a little better
sense about the food will straight
en out the child quickly. Liv-o-lax
is a vegetable laxative that works
on the liver, too.
Liv-o-lax is easy to take. Chil
dren like it. You can get a good
sized bottle at the drug store for
period of years. For the past 12
years he had been connected wi'h
the municipal water plant, retain
ing the position of engineer until
declining health f6rced his resign
ation. He was well known through
out this section, and had hundreds
of friends and acquaintances who
will learn of hi sdeath with extrema
regret.

Your Doctor
Take Salts to Wath Kidneys if
Back Pains You or Bladder
Bothers
Flush your kidneys by drinking a
quart of water each day, also take salts
occasionally, says a noted authority, who
tells us that too much rich food forms
acids which almost paralyze the kidneys
in their efforts to expel it from the
blood. 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.
Jad Salts is inexpensive: can not in
