Through withdrawal of funds, from in¬ vestments and a further inflow of gold, member banks have been able to meet demands of their customers for in¬ creased credit and currency independ¬ ently of the reserve banks. Consequently, the total volume of Federal Reserve bank credit, measured by total earning assets has remained relatively constant during the past month, and in fact since the seasonal liquidation at the turn of the year. The volume of Federal Reserve notes in circulation has also changed but little as the larger demand for hand-to-hand money has been met chiefly by an in¬ crease in other forms of money in cir¬ culation. my MOTHER—A PRAYER By Tom Dillon.

Ten years ago Mitchell was the fifth largest cotton producing county in the state, and Pelham then shipped more cotton than any other point in the county. When the boll weevil appeared in Southwest Georgia, the merchants and bankers began an intensive campaign inducing the farmer to plant other crops. As the years have gone by, farm¬ ing throughout this county has become more and more diversified. New crops har e been introduced one by one, the farmers aiding in growing them, and the problems of marketing worked out fo them. The peanut has been popu¬ lar. the potato has also proved satis¬ factory in a small way, and poultry raising has been steadily growing in favor. Hogs have become one of the principal money crops and dairy pro¬ ducts are fast growing in importance. Today the average Mitchell county far¬ mer has some form of produce to sell every month in the year. Mitchell county has changed from one of the leading cotton producing counties in Georgia to the largest hog raising county in the state; one of the greatest peanut growing counties of Georgia; and it still produces from 12,000 to 15,000 bales of cotton each year. For some twenty years the coun¬ ty has grown watermelons and canta¬ loupes extensively, and today Pelham ships more cantaloupes than any other point east of the Mississippi river. Carload Shipments Made The following list of solid carload shipments since January 1, 1923, from Pelham alone gives some idea of the diversity ol' interests and does not in¬ clude shipments from Camilla, the county seat, and other shipping points in the county: two carloads of peanuts, fifteen carloads of hogs, one carload of corn, thirteen carloads of hay, eleven carloads of syrup, three carloads of cotton seed oil, one carload of cattle, sixty-one carloads of lumber, eleven arloads of logs, four carloads of rosin, and one carload of shucks. Experience has shown that Mitchell acted wisely in not trying to cultivate the same old extensive cotton acreage after the boll weevil appeared. She has not had to take the heavy losses | other counties suffered by the weevil. * shape and today financially Mitchell county is in possibly better j than it could , have been under the old one-crop plan, j and it has the brightest prospects for | the future. ■a CATARRH j OF THE STOMACH n fgyifpii ! i 'i !

Goodrich Silvertown CordTiiu Bring us your job printing. Central of Georgia Tells What Railroads Are Doing For The Public And What The Public Can Do For The Railroads. American railways are passing through a period of reconstruction. Their situation is due in part to the devastating influence ot the W orlu War, and in part to the restrictive policy toward improvements and addi¬ tions adopted by the government during the twenty-six months of Feder¬ al control. The railways frankly admit that there have been short-comings i». their service. They contend, however, that they have made good progress in overcoming these, as evidenced by the fact that during the thirty-seven weeks between July 1,1922 and March 17, 1923, they handled the greatest volume of traffic ever transported in the history of the country, during any corresponding period of thirty-seven weeks. This achievement was ac¬ complished in the face of obstacles arising from national strikes of coal¬ miners and of railway shoperafts. But the railways are not content with what has been done, and through their organizations they have pledged themselves during the remainder of the current year, to place their locomotives and cars in good repair, to load their equipment to maximum capacity, and to mave their cars faster and further. In brief they pledge more efficient operation, of all the facili¬ ties at their disposal, to prevent so far as possible, any delay or interrup¬ tion to business. In addition to this, the railways recognize the urgent need of vast ex¬ penditures to rehabilitate their properties and to make adequate provision for the constantly extanding needs of public service. To this end, they expended in 1922 for cars, locomotives, trackage and other facilities, $440,000,000. They have appropriated for equipment and other facilities for the year 1923, the huge sum of $1,100,000,000. Having taken these definite steps, and having proved their purpose to make good, the railways now come to the public with an appeal for co¬ operation by the exercise of certain simple and practicable means such as: (1) Loading equipment as near to its capacity as is practicable with the various classes of commodities, thereby reducing the number of cars required and likewise reducing empty mileage in the return of equipment to producing districts. IF ALL THE CARS THAT WERE LOADED DURING SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER, 1922, HAD BEEN LOADED TO AVERAGE OF 30 TONS PER CAR (t* figure heretofore attained) INSTEAD OF THE ACTUAL AVERAGE OF 27.7 TONS PER CAR, IT WOULD IN EF FECT HAVE ADDED 188,357 CARS TO THE SUPPLY". (2) Restricting so far as practicable the number of cars shippec under “to order bills-of-lading,” which invariably causes de¬ lays to the equipment at destination. (3) Limiting the reconsignment of traffic to the greatest possibb or practicable extent. (4) Unloading cars as promptly as possible. (5) Increasing storage facilities where necessary and practicable and providing adequate siding capacity to facilitate loading and unloading, thereby increasing the number of available cars (6) Not ordering care beyond ability to load daily. (7) Proceeding early in the season with programs for road and building construction, advance coal storage by industries and public utilities during the summer months, the successful car¬ ry out of which plans should reduce the peak movement to considerable extent in the months of September, October and November. Over and above these helpful measures, railway management seeks and needs the good will of the people. The men who are trying to keep the railways in step with America’s march of progress and to make them useful in enhancing the nation’s material prosperity will be aided in their task by public faith in their honesty and capability. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. W. A. WINBURN, President, Central of Georgia Railway Company. Savannah, Ga., May 8, 1923. CHEVROLET/ P. J.
