FRIDAY, JAN. IB, 1809.
CONCENTRATING
AT WAYCROSS
COAST LINE MOVES FORCES
TO MAKE THAT PLACE HEADQUAR
TERS OF SHOPS.
Rumor That Seems to Have Support in dradual Assembling ol
Help—Local Officials Will Not Talk.
Savannah Morning News Jan 11.
Indications are that there will
soon be an exodus from Savannah
of the larger part of the force em
ployed in the Atlantic Coast Line
shops in this city.
Mr. J. W. Oplinger, superinten
dent of motive power, is to leave
during the week and take up head
quarters at Waycross, and it is said
that Master Mechnnic Sprowl will
soon follow.
In 'spite of the fact that the re
moval of the greater part of the
Savannah establishment to Way-
ert>i« hha he?n a foregone conclu
sion for some time it is difficult to
get definite information on tho
subject from tho local officials.
When approached on tho subject,
Mr. C. 11. Brand, the general su
perintendent said, “What is being
done is being done quietly and I
am not at liberty to say anything
else about it.”
Exodus Will Be Quiet One.
It is evidently thought by the
Coast Line officials to be the better
policy to make the move without
attracting attention. Rather to
fold their tents and silently steal
away. This is no doubt due to the
efforts that have been made in the
past by the Chamber of Commerce
and business mc%,gencrally to pre
vent the removal of tho Savannah
shop forces. N
It is understood that there is
some discontent among the work
ingmen who have homes in Savan
nah at the removal, but the plan
to establish the central shops at
Waycross was determined upon
more than three years ago, and
the immense establishment at that
place ref» Renting an outlay of
two mill! B, is now complete and
portions o_ the plant have been in
operation for a year. Construc
tion has been in progress the last
two years and no larger railroad
shops or a more complete plant is
to be found in tho South.
The ineffectiveness of protest at
this time is under the circum
stances apparent. It is not tho
purpose of the Coast Line, it is
comparison to what it formerly
was.
Centralizing at Waycross.
Some time ago it was reported
that the purpose of the company
was to centralize the entire sys
tem at Waycross, removing the
general offices in time from Wil
mington. This process was to be
worked out gradually, according
to the rumor, and Waycross, which
is the logical center of the system,
with eight lines of the road radi
ating from it as a hub, was to be
the heart of the operating and
traffic organizations.
The shops at Waycross cover
with a reserve storage capacity for
1,500 ears. Twenty buildings are
embraced in the completed estab
lishment, comprising every ma
chine and all equipment necessary
for the construction of rolling
stock as well as for the repair of
cars and locomotives.
The assembling of the forces at
Waycross, from Savannah and
other points where shops have
been maintained, shows clearly
that the Coast Line is to habilitate
the Waycross shops as the main in
stitution of the character in the
system and this means that the
other shops will be either aban
doned altogether or cut down to
round house proportions.
HITT. GEN. HART
Old Registration good Until July
1, as New Registration Will not
b? pnfprced Until After That
Date.
PAPERS—For wrapping pur-
posts in bundle* of 100, 10c per
bundle at the Daily Journal tf
In case it should be found nec
essary to call a special election in
Ware county for any purpose the
old registration would be the one
by which such election would be
held. This is the result of an opin
ion from Attorney General Hart,
in todays’ Georgian, as follows:
In spite of the fact that the
new registration law passed by
the last Legislature and ratified at
the polls in the general election in
November became effective Janu
ary 1, 1909, all apecihl elections
held before July 1, 1909, must be
under the old registration regula
tions, according to the opinion of
Attorney General Ilart.
The law requires that all voters
participating in any election must
have registered at least six months
before the election is held.
In view oftbc fnet that the law
did not become effective until the
firat of the present year, it is man
ifestly impossible for any voter to
participate in any election held
inside of six months unless he be
allowed to vote under the old reg
ulations.
Several special elections have!
already been held sinco the first of
the yenr and several more havo
been ordered for the next few
months. In a number of instances
Judge Hart has been-appealed to
for an opinion as to what should
be done, nnd he has advised that
tho elections be held under the old
regulations until the machinery of
the new lnw can be put into no
tion.
A strict construction of the lnw
would prohibit any voter from
taking part in any election dur
ing the firat six months of this
year, rendering it impossible for
any election to be held in the state
during that time.
Judge Hart, however, thinks no
legal complications will arise if
elections are held under tho old
regulations until time is allowed
to put the new law into force, nnd
he has accordingly advised those
in charge of the registration books
of the state to that effect.
The oath which voters will be
required to take under tho new
law was drawn up at a conference
held by Governor Smith, Attorney-
General Hart and Mr. Stewart
Monday. It embodies all the qual
ifications under which the voter
may register.

HAPPY new year.
A happy new year to every
White Riboner and to every
friend! May ihe new year bring
to each of us more strength and a
greater will to mnkc the world
happier and may it give a clearer
vision of those things worthy of
our thought and labor. No one
has a greater opportunity for
bringing about a glad new year
than the W. C. T. U. who are unit
ed in their efforts to annihilate
those things which destroy so
much happiness in this world, and
few enjoy greater happiness than
those who are bringing joy and
gladness into the lives of their less
fortunate neighbors. With the
dawn of 1909 let ns sing praises
for the accomplishments of the
yenr that is gone nnd dediente our
lives anew to even more willing
service that our victories ttmy be
many in the new year to coine.
That He Who Runs Kay Read!
“Wcro you one of tho run-
nersf”
For the 'paat few months, that
has been a frequent question ad
dressed to the members of clubs
and societies for boys and young
men. Hundreds nnd hundreds of
speedy “young bloods” have par
ticipated in the famous Y. M. C.
A. message runs, cross country,
and fox-nnd-hound runs, to say
nothing of the many shorter con
tents on outdoor and indoor
tracks.
This ncwly.awakrnod interest in
running is one of the encouraging
signs of the times. If hoys nre to
run and run well, they must be in
good condition; and since they are
determined to run and to run well,
they arc anxious that every hind
rance to good condition be swept
away. Good trainers nnd instruc
tors arc therefore necessary, and
the advice of experienced runners
is of high value. Listen to what
Johnny Hayes, the New York boy,
who won the Marathon race (25
miles) at the London Olympic
games, has to say:
“One excellent rule applies to
all athletes,—avoid pastry, intoxi
cants, and eigaretts! I can cure
most boys of cigarctt smoking in
one lesson. I want to say to moth
ers that the best argument to ad
vance to a son who smokes cignr-
etts is to buy him an athlete outfit.
The boy will soon learn why ci
garette arc harmful. The first
time he attempts to run he finds
a difficulty in breathing, a heavi
ness in the lungs that retards
progress. His cigaiytt heart, slug
gish under ordinary conditions,
will thump against his ribs like a
my lungs, more than to any other
agency, I attribute my ability to
win. Diet is important, good heart
and stomach condition necessary,
but possessing nil these qunlificn-
tions, no boy or man can win run
ning races, if he smokes eignr-
etts.’'
Scores and scores of hoys Itav
dropped cigarctt smoking, on Ibis
advice from Hayes. Some nre
heeding it at this very moment
Perhaps you are one. If you don "t
need it. pass it on to some young
lad and tell him to heed it before
it is too late.
Every normal bov wants to he
“one of the runners;” every nor
mal hoy wants to “win out,"
whether it he in a foot race for a
golden cup, or in life's struggle
for the prizes of health, honor,
ami lofty character.
“Do you suppose that a lad who
leans
On a roll of weed, wins out?
All the things he'll win he shades
of sin,
And the thorns of fear and
doubt!
You can't do work with a man's
machines,
If you don't plsy fair with
God's;
And your body, boy, will be past
all joy,
If you feod it filth and frauds!
The world says—‘Give us on
empty wig,
As soon as a lad who smokes a
cigl’ ”
