GEORGIA WOMAN IS
PRESIDENT OF RAILROAD
The Georgia Florida and Alabama
railroad, running from Richland, Ga.,
to Carabelle, Fla., on the Gulf of Mexi¬
co, has the distinction of having for
its president one of the few women to
hold sueh a position in the United
States, Mrs. Cora B. Williams, of 478
Peachtree street, Atlanta, Ga.
Information given to the road’s peti¬
tion for the increase brought out un¬
usual features in connection with its
financial affairs. It was shown the
road had an outstanding bonded in¬
debtedness of $2,113,000 and unpaid in¬
terest charge on that indebtedness of
$1,124,556.91, and also carried on its
books for premium stock of $122,000.
All the bonds were owned by Mrs.
Williams, according to the application,
and that all of the interest due on the
bonds was due to her. She also owned
the $122,000 premium on stock. These
were secured by a mortgage held by
New York trust companies.
This, the application said, “Mrs. Wil¬
liams is willing to cancel said bonds
and lose all of the interest due thereon
and surrender and cancel her claim to
$122,000 premium on stock in return
for the applicant’s (the railroad) issu¬
ing to Mrs. Williams common stock of
the railroad company in the amount
of the proposed increase—the sum of
$2,235,000.”

FAILURE
By Edgar A. Guest
I will not fail today,
will not cry my burden is unfair,
Cast it aside and leave it lying there.
I will not say
Soft words of pity to myself, and
whine
That others have an easier task than
mine.
I will not fail today.
I will not mar this record white and
new
By failing to do all that I can do.
Let come what may,
I’ll do my best with what my hands
shall find,
And passing, leave no vain regrets be¬
hind.
I will not fail today.
I will not play the shirk or play the
cheat;
I will not stain my duty with deceit.
Though rough the way
And heavy seem the burden I must bear,
I’ll not begrudge to life these hours of
care.
I will not fail today.
I may not come to dusk by gloi >
crowned,
But I shall fight my battle, round by
round.
And hope shall stay,
And night shall find me, as the day be
gan,
| Though not a victor, still no less a man

GIRL REARED IN PIGSTY FOR
TEN YEARS IS FOUND
El Paso, Texas—Reared in a pigsty
for ten years, through the alleged mal¬
ice of a stepmother, a 13-year-old girl
was found asleep in the pen, located
near her home here by detectives Ira
Fendley and Ira Cline.
The child, scarcely the size of a three
year old, could answer only simple
questions. She said she had lived in
the little pen as far back as she can re¬
member and that her food was always
given to her through the bars.
Neighbors told the officers that her
food consisted principally of scraps.
Some of them have been taking milk
to her pen. The stepmother said the
child was put in the pen only to play.
County Probation Officer Mrs. Emma
Wenster took charge of the child.
HELPS YOUR CREDIT
Atlanta, Ga.—There is one way by
which a business men’s credit is im¬
proved, and that is by a policy of con¬
sistent advertising, according to At¬
lanta bankers.
Bank men, it is pointed out here be¬
lieve in advertising, for they know it
pays. Their feeling, therefore, as one
Atlanta banker indicated today, is that
when a merchant who is a good adver¬
tiser applies for a loan, that a reason¬
able amount of goods, bought by him
on credit, is likely to be turned over
quickly and promptly paid for, on ac¬
count of his methods of keeping his
goods constantly before the public.
Discriminating buyers of every class
know they can get fresh goods from
the store that advertises, one Atlanta
banker said. The merchant who adver¬
tises seldom has shop-worn goods. And
in that way advertising helps the mer
chan’ts credit not only with the banks
but with his customers. And one is
just as important as the other it is as¬
serted.
WHY HE DECIDED
“Why have I never married?” the
confirmed bachelor repeated a leading
question, “Well, once upon a time in
a crowd I trod upon a lady’s gown.
She turned furiously, beginning ‘You
clumsy brute!’ Then she smiled sweet¬
ly and said: ‘Oh, I beg your pardon, I
thought you were my husband.’ No it
really doesn’t matter in the least.’
And when I came to think it over, I
decided that I’d better let marriage
alone.”
GOOD NEWS FOR CREDITORS
The doctor coughed gravely. “I am
sorry to tell you” he said, looking
down at the man in the bed, “that
there is no doubt you are suffering
from small pox.”
The patient turned on his pillow
and looked up at his wife.
“Julia,” he said in a faint voice,—
“If any of my creditors call, tell them
that at last I am In a position to give
them something.”

MY LOYE COMES BACK TO ME
TODAY
I tread the dandelions’ gold;
My heart is full as it can hold;
A robin sings o'eihead, and I
Sing back my own song in reply.
Upon their nest, in flowering bush
His mate stays in the brooding hush,
The purple plumes of lilac play,
And with their blossoms strew my way
Far off, beyond the hemlock lane,
A brown road winds across the plain.
I watch that road, as waits the bird
To feel the thrill of new life stirred.
I hear, from one who haps along;
“That lassie sings a foolish song!”
But what care I for what they say?
My love comes back to me today!
—Cora A. Matson Dolson.
