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."

We are the SOU AGENTS in 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.
