Liberty Drive In Ga. Began At

By GUS BFRND, Historical Re¬
search Assistant, Georgia
Department of State.
Indignation was high in the
streets of Savannah in the sum¬
mer of 1774 over the news that
the British Parliament had passed
a bill closing the Port of Boston.
This was only a few months after
the memorable “Boston Tea
Party” of the previous December • j
Revolutionary sentiment had been
developing for some time. Par-;
Lament s new act passed early in
1/74 made the sentiment formid
able, and the friends o liberty
were on the move. In July, in
The Georgia Gazette, the Colony s
first newspaper, which had be-;
gun publication in April, 1763, j
there appeared a significant j
notice regarding “alarming Wei and
arbitrary impositions of the

Railroads Requited
To Prove No Sat.
Service Needed
"I do no. believe the people
of Georgia should be deprived
of Saturday h-eight-shipping ser
vice where any real need for it
exists, said Walter R. McDonald,
Chairman o* the Georgia Public
| Service Commission, in a state
i ment released to the public this
week. Mr. McDonald’s state
ment in full follows:
“For the benefit of the shipping
public who have expressed great
concern over the application of
the railroads to close virtually all
freight shipment* stations in
Georgia on Saturday, I
wish to reaffirm the state
ment made at the beginnnig of
the hearing, +hat where there is a
protest if will be assigned for
public hearing and the railroads
will be required lo prove that no
need exists for Saturday service
before they will be allowed to
close fhat station on Saturdays,
On September 1 railroad freight
rates will be increased by an ad
dit j ona i 300 mil i ion dollars. The
In , terstate Commerce Commission
stated in its order released
Thursday that the increases were
being permitted to offset the add
ed cost of the 40-hour week which
also becomes effective September
1st.
Here in Georgia we have grant
ed, subject tc complaint, a peti
tion of the railroads to close sta
tions on Saturdays so as not to
incur additional expense from the
shorter work week. We granted
this petition with the belief that
closing freight stations on Satur
days would make further rate iin
creases unnecessary,
This has not been the result as
f ar as interstate rates are con
cerned, and unquestionably we
i “ be CaUed “ P ° n t0 “TT/
similar increase on interstate
traffic in Georgia. If the Georgia
Commission should not approve
the higher rates the Interstate
Commerce Commission would
unquestionably issue a Thirteenth

e d rates effective anyway. There
fore> under these circumstances
1 do not believe that the people
of Georgia should be deprived of
Saturday service where any real
nee d for it exists, and it will be
my purpose to require the rail
ro ads to prove that there is no
need for service at every point
where they propose to discontinue
it on Soaurday.”

Suggests Weevil
Control Measure
Seed beans, corn, popcorn,
field peas and other similar seed
now being harvested should be
fumigated to protect them from
weevil damage, Elmo Ragsdale,
Extension Service horticulturist,
said this week. Weevil-infested
beans and peas are unfit for food
and if weevil-infested seed are
planted, poor stands will result
and fields will be reinfested.
The most common material used
for fumigating seed is Carbon
Disulphide, Mr. Ragsdale said. It
is probably the cheapest and usu
ally can be ootained at any drug
store. Its main objection is that
it is inflamable and has a dis
agreeable odor.
To use the Carbon Disulphide,
place the desired quantity of seed
in suitable sized containers such
as glass jars, tin cans, buckets or
fiber cartons. Then place these
containers in large tight contain
. ers such as a barrel or oil drum or,
for smaller quantities, a tin lard
j can or wooden keg.
Leave the tops off the contain
ers holding the seed when they
are placed in the large container.
Put a plate or other shallow con
tainer above the seed and pour the
liquid Carbon Disulphide into it.
Use about one teaspoon of the
fumigant for each two gallons of
seed or about a tablespoon for
five gallons.
Cover the container tightly with
paper and heavy sacks or canvas.
The material has a decided sul
phur odor and should not be in¬
haled more than possible.
After 24 hours remove the cover

SO PLEASANT!
That’s what thousands say about Capudine, the
LIQUID headasht relief. Yes, pleasant to take—so
easy on the stomach, and gives such delightful re¬
lief; and so Quickly. Being liquid, Capudine’* four
carefully selected pain-relieving ingredients go to
work at once to relieve headache and neuralgia.
Next time get LIQUID Capudine and see the dif¬
ference. Use as directed on label.
and leave the container open to
air. It will be safe from fire
when all noticeable odors have
disappeared. When the seed have
been thoroughly aired, cover them
anc j s tore in suitable places,
Mf. Ragdale pointed out that
Corbon Disulphide on beans and
peas j s no t harmful to them for
, table use. However, he warned
aga i n , it is inflammable and
should not be handled around j
cigarettes, an open fire or in a j
| very close room where there is I
danger of explosion.
