NEVER WAS CUT DON’T WANT TO BE Old Liberty County Votes Two to One Against Division. We cannot express surprise that the voters of Liberty county yesterday declared at the ballot box that they were not in favor of a division of the county and the creation of that of Altamaha. Liberty is one of the old and con servative counties of the state, and the people outside of the thriving little city of Ludowici probably concluded it was well enough to let it alone as it is. Since Ludowici became a railroad junction it is desirous of spread ing out and adding to its import ance, and the promoters of the new county have had in their mind for a long time the making of a county seat of this pleasant little township. It would appear, however, that the Hinesville in fluence in Liberty is still the dominant one. It has always re sented the interference of the other side of the county in its af fairs, and it has protested with some vigor when it has been sug gested that there should be crea ted a county that would make Ludowici independent of its neighbors in the other section of Liberty. The new county movement does not seem to be taking per manent root in South Georgia this year. We learn that the peo ple of Oliver on the Central Rail ‘ way, who thought at one time of asking for the creation of an ad ditional county with Oliver as the seat of government, have abandoned their plans. It is prob ably just as well. We askecflEditor Jim Miller of the Ludowici Times today for the real reason of the failure of the new county movement in Ligerty. He told us in confidence that the trouble really came about from the failure of the finance committee of the move ment to raise $6 a week to send the Times to every registered voter in the county while the fight was on. But this was in the strictest cocfidence and we would not have it known for the world. To tell the truth, we believe Ed itor Jim has an exagerated idea of the convincing powers of the Times in this instance. —Savan- nah Press. Farm Loans. I am in position to close some good farm loans, from SIOOO up, at once. If you need money, see A. B. Hutcheson, 415tf Mt. Vernon, Ga. KNOW THY COUNTRY In discussing the commercial achievements of this great age, we shall approach the subject as the historian chronicling events. This se ries will endeavor to record in writ ing the supremacy of American men and industries in the world's affairs and perptuate an appreciation of our marvelous industrial achievements by presenting simple facts, figures and comparisons that are overpowering in their convictions. America holds her proud place among the nations of the earth today on account of her supremacy in trans portation facilities. The mighty minds of the age are engaged in the prob lems of transportation, and the great est men in the history of the world’s commerce are at the head of the transportation systems of the United States. In the discussion of transportation, let us consider separately our Rail ways, Telegraph and Telephones, Ex press, Public Highways, Steamships, Street Railways, Interurban and other forms of transportation, and this ar ticle will deal with railways. The United States has the largest mileage, the best service, the cheap est rates, pays labor the highest wages, and we have the most efficient ly managed of the railways of the world. They stand as a monument to the native genius of our marvelous builders, and most of the railroads in foreign countries have been built nnder American orders. The railroads represent a larger in vestment of capital than any other branch of human activity. The mile age in the United States exceeds Higgston. * Special Correspondence.

Notice is hereby given that at the next session of the general assembly a bill will be introduced to abolish the office of treasurer of Montgomery County. adv. ll—Railroads the accepted distance from the earth to the moon. We had in 1911, the last year in which figures for all countries are available, on the earth’s surface, 639,981 miles of rail way divided as follows: United States 241,199, Europe 207,432 and other countries 191,360. The United States has 38 per cent of the world’s mileage, seven per cent of the estimated pop ulation and about five per cent of the area. The total capital invested in the railways of the world is $50,000,000,- 000, divided as follows: United States $13,000,000,000 Europe $25,660,000,000 and other countries $11,350,000,000. Reduced to a mileage basis the cap italization is as follows: The world $78,000, United States $64,000, Europe $124,000, and other countries $59,000. A comparison of rates is equally as interesting and the United States takes the lead in economy and serv ice. The average rate per ton per hundred mile haul is as follows: United States 76c, Great Britain $2.63, France $1.44, Germany $1.44, Russia 92c, Austria-Hungary $1.30, Italy $2.30 and Switzerland $2.82. The average yearly pay of all rail road employes In the principal coun tries is as follows: United States $757, Germany $392, Italy $345, Aus tria $322, Great Britain $279, France $260 and Russia $204. About 30 per cent, or 188,000 miles, of the railways of the world are government owned. About half the railway mileage of Europe is govern ment owned. A comparison of the economy, In time and money and the convenience in travel, will be made In a later [ article. _ THK MONTGOMERY MONITOR-THURSDAY, JUNE 17, 1915 Citutiou. Georgia— Montgomery County.

Now that the summer is here and farmeres are taking produce to town, it is well they should pay especial attention to the manner in which their products are put up. See that full meas ure is given, that the quality is the best. 1 heard of two neigh bors last year who had nice, bunch grapes which they decided to sell on the local market. One farmer took his grapes to town in a tub, going from house to house, and sold less than half his product at a very ordinary price. The neighbor arranged his grapes attractively in bas kets, and sold his entire lot much more readily and at better prices than the other man. This illus trates the value of neat packages, not only in selling grapes, but other fruits and vevetables, and is a point well worth paying at tention to. — Southern Farming. Milk Cow For Sale.
