THE AMtKICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER. FRIDAY. AUGUST 9, 1907,
OFFICE REMAINS IN
AMESICOSIS ANSWER
Siren By Pres. Carrel! to
OUESriON IS FULLY DISPOSED OF
Sommitlee oF Savannahians Met
President Garrett Yesterday to
File Protest, But it Was
Ineffective.
The office of the Superintendent of
this division of the Seaboard Air Line
• ill remain at Americus.
Tills was the answer given by Pres
ident Garrett, of the Seaboard, to a
committee of Savannahians who wait
ed on him in that city yesterday to
request that Supt. Grimshaw's of
fice be returned to Savannah and kept
vhere.
President Garrett recleved the
committee with all courtesy and
heard the arguments that were put
forth as to the necessity, from a local
Business standpoint, of having the
Superintendent convenient to the bust
ness men of Savannah, and ns to
tlie great freight business that Sav
annah gave to the Seaboard.
While acknowledging the import
ance of Savannah to the Seaboard,
President Garrett informed the com
mittee that the change in the location
of the Superintendent's office to Am-
aricus bad only been made after a
most careful consideration of the
question, that it was done to promote
efficiency in handling the transporta
tion afTairs of the division and to ex
pedite the handling of business.
On that account the original decis
ion would be adhered to and the sup
erintendent's office would be main
tained at Americus.
This closes the matter. The force
ti working along nicely here, every
thing is rapidly getting in smooth
shape, and before the active business
of the season opens up the superin
tendent will be in better position to
handle things to advantage than ever
Before.

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 31.—It
has been assumed that Uncle Sam’s
soldiers were by far the best-paid in
the world, and that belief has in large
part been the cause of the failure of
attempts made in the past to secure
increases in pay for our own sol
diers.
Hut now, in connection with the
systematic preparations that are be
ing made with the subject of "some
thing wrong with the army" before
Congress at the next session, it has
been discovered that belief is founded
in error and that several nations are
much more liberal in-their treatment
of their soldiery than is the United
States.
Tills fact will be brought to the
attention of Congress in connection
with the subject of a general increase
of salaries of both army and navy.
Copies of recruiting pamphlets cir
culated freely in Canada, make a
strong showing on this point.
funiidu More Generous.
Bishop W. A. Candler, in a letter
written last week from Texarkana,
where he was then upon a yisit,
ATLANTA, August 3.—After a brief
session lasting but an hour and a
sounds a word of warning to the peo- half, the House this morning took
pie of Georgia at the attitude of do- 1 a recess until Monday. Nothing of
signing politicians whom, he says, interest in the way of legislation,
will demand office as the price of 1 new or old, was considered today,
tlielr votes for prohibition. , The general tax act has bee* as-
The Tiines-Recorder herewith signed as the special order for Mon-
SAVANNAH, July 30.—President
,W. A. Garrett of the Seaboard has
written that he will be here to
morrow and that he will be glad to
meet the represenatlves of the city
who have protested against the re
moval of the office of Superinten
dent Grimshaw from this city to
Americus.
Mr. Garrett assures the represen
tatives of the various organizations
that there is no desire on the part
of the Seaboard management to
■light the city, but that a new divis
ion. has been created, that of the
Savannah terminals.
TUIs new superintendent has the
name powers, as has Mr. Grimshaw,
and that he will report direct to the
general superintendent Just as does
Supt. Grimshaw. The terminal super-
tendent will look after the handling
at traffic on the Savannah terminals
■lone, and the traffic will in this way,
Be handled with greater dispatch.
Mr. J. G. Glazier has been named
as the new superintendent. Mr.
Glazier is formerly of the M. J. &
K. C. road, and has been here some
time as terminal trainmaster.
While Mr. Garrett has the power
to make the change and enforce his
argument, yet it is quite certain that
Be will not convince the hardheaded
Business men of the wisdom of the
order changing the status of the di
vision.
The Savannahians will point out
ID hint that he not only ought to
huve kept Mr. Grimshaw here, but
thnt the appointment of a terminal
superintendent in addition thereto
would have tendered to Increase the
popularity of his lino, as well as to
improve the handling of the cars of
the line destined for this port.
Notwithstanding all this and many
other additional arguments that the
Beads of the Beveral trades organiza
tions. Including the mayor of the city,
will present, it Is quite sure that Mr.
Garrett will turn down tlielr request.
A Canadian sergeant, for instance,
enters upon ills service with a wage
of $1 per day, which Increases ac
cording to the provisions of the lon
gevity law to $1.25. The American
sergeant gets $1S a month at first, and
his expenses are larger than the Can
adian noncommissioned officer be
cause of the considerable differences
in the scale of living and the lower
tariff upon the necessities of life in
Canada. The same difference of wage
runs through all of the grades of the
two armies.
Even Cuba pays her soldiers three
times as much as the American priv
ate. The Cuba rural guard gets
the pay of a New York policeman.
Why Men Desert.
i
Other countries than those two
exceed America in the pay allowed
their soldiers, and the data is being
gotten together to make up a strong
case to demonstrate to CongreSs that
the real reason for the numerous des
ertions from the American army is
not dissatisfaction with the hard work
or dislike for some particular offi
cer, nor even the lack of a simple
and well-regulated canteen, but the
small wage paid to the soldier, com
pared with the compensation In civil
life.
And In this connection It will be
shown In the presentation of the sub
ject to Congress that the present
scale was fixed by law more than
fifty years ago (there has been only
one Increase and that of only $1 per
month In that time) Vvhen the wages
of civilian workmen were probably
not much more than a third of the
present scale.
gives the Bishop's letter in full:
"I have a word for my fellow pro
hibitionists of Georgia in closing this
letter. Comrades in our churches we
have built up this cause. In our
church papers we have defended it,
in our pulpits we have preached
against the buloon, and in our pray
ers we have made supplication for
the overthrow of the monster liquor
traffic. We are in sight of victory.
By ’ the time these lines are read
by you, the Georgia Legislature will
have adopted a State prohibition
law. Now will come a time of peril.
Politicians will claim the victory,
and seek office as a reward for ser
vices rendered by them. Give no
heed to such pleas. No true soldier
in this war will seek office as a
pension for the fighting he has
done.
Only men who have cultivated a
marketable type of prohibition zeal
day and will be disposed of.
As already announced, the inves
tigation into the real ownership of
the Central of Georgia Railway will
be made on Monday unless plans as
now arranged miscarry.
Some interesting developments are
expected as the result of the rail
road investigation.
Governor Smith, as already an
nounced will sign the Hardman pro
hibition bill Monday morning. Not
until this measure is finally in the
sidetrack is it expected that other
matters will be taken up.
The General Assembly has but
twelve days more, and a great deal
must be done in that time.
