for clothes we expect him to have
confidence in us and in our state
ments; and we mean to deserve such
confidence.
There are no facts about the
clothes we sell that you’re not wel
come to; one nice thing in handling
Hart Schaffner & Mark goods is thai:
they’re clothes we can tell the truth
about.
We want you to realize that we
think our interest in selling you
clothes is the same as yours in buy
ing them. We couldn’t afford to take
any other position.
in addition to our own assur
ance of quality, however, we offer
you the Hart Schaffner & Marx
label; it is as strong a guarantee of
good quality in clothes as you will
ever see. V

Seaboard’s President Thinks They Should Be Repre
sented in Gabinet.
“I believe the time haa come when
congress should create a new cabinet
position, and that It should be filled by
a competent railroad man who should
be known as secretary of transporta
tion," says W. A. Garrett, president of
the Seaboard.
'The great and Increasing demands
of the public upon the railroads Is the
main reaton»why*I advance this sug
gestion at this time.
"Such official should have great
power over matters of transportation;
should see that the roads give as good
service as the oocaslon requires, and
that they should also have the power of
settling matters of this kind, and point
ing out to the public the real 'situation
as to the ability of roads to perform
service at given rates and In general to
establish a better understanding be
tween the roads and the people.
Such an official should be of a broad
mind and one whom the public, gener
allv, h»s confidence In. He could worn
the railroads when they were exceeding
thoir tights and In addition could,
when (he occasion demanded It, cau
tion the public as to when they were
pushing the roads too hard.
Discussing the proposed reduction in
railroad rates Mr. Garrett said: "What
the south and the entire country needs
at this time is service. If this be true,
then, how Is the the service to be main
tained or even improved. Certainly
not by cutting down the revenues of
the roads, If this Is done I cannot .see
how even the 'present service can be
maintained."

ASKED INCREASE IN SALARY
Grand Jury of Sumter V^ants Judge City Court Paid
' More.
By resolution adopted, wellnigh
unanimously, there being no opposing
votes, the grand jury of Sumter county
has requested the two members from
Sumter In the General Assembly to
introduce and have passed a bill in
creasing the salary of Judge of the City
Court of Americus to $2,500.
This is in recognition If the Increas
ing and arduous duties imposed upon
the Judge of the City Court, the volume
of business having grown vastly since
the court was Instituted.
The salary of tills 'office at present is
only $1.200,wh!ch is far from commens
urate with the duties Imposed. In
Cordele, Albany and other cities small
er than Americus the salary of Judge
of the City Court is fixed at $2,500,
while the volume'of business Is lighter
than here.
Four lengthy sessions of the City
Court are held annually, while aside
from this the court is open at all times
for reeeiving’pleas of guilty and attend
ing to other such business as may be
required. And the compensation for
such services, Is a great deal less than
should be.
The action ol the grand Jury yester
day in requesting an Increase will, be
generally approved and have the hearty
support of Representatives Taylor and
Dykes.
