SCRAPPING OF A. B. &
A. RAILROAD LIKELY
ON ACCOUNT OF HIGH WAGES
70 EMPLOYES IS LOSING
MILLION DOLLARS YEAR.
ATLANTA, Ga—Wages of A. B.
& A. employes must be reduced or the
road probably will have to be scrapp
ed, declared Colonel B. L. Bugg, pres
ident of the A. B. & A, in a statement
issued after a conterence with repre
sentatives of employes at which it was
agreeed to let the wage dispute go be
fore the United States railroad labor
board February 10 without any furth
er attempts at a settlement.
“In round figures,” declared Colonel
Bugg in his statement, “the road now
is losing one million dollars a year and
this loss is only on our operation ex
penses and taxation. It is out of the |
question for us to ask for nl_(‘n-:}sul;‘
ireight or passenger rates. i they |
were granted people would travel n\'vr:
other lines. They would ship their
freight over the lines of our compvti—{
tors. 4 _ ,
“If we offered the road for sale we |
couldn’t even find a prospective pur-l
chaser. No one wants to buy a prop
erty that is losing $1,000,000 annun]]_\'.!
Qur only hope is to cut our operat- |
ing expenses. Our pay roll has increas
ed almost three-fold for each employe
since the war began. If the reduction
we ask for is granted we can con- |
tinue operation. If it is r(jfuscd. right
at this time, I see nothing for the
owners of the property to do but get
what they can out of it by scrapping
the whole thing.
“So you see the controversy be
tween the A. B. & A. on the one hand
and its employes and the International
Brotherhoods, members of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, on the oth
er, concerns the people of Georgia to
a far greater degree than merely their
interests in the wage troubles involv-|
ing public {acility, however import:mtl
that may be.” [

Millions
ons for a
New Stomach
One of the greatest American million
aires saig to his physician, ‘‘A million
dollars, Doctor, spot cash and no grum
bling, for a new stomach,”’” and then
the sick man groaned and turned away.
All his wealth could not make him
happy or contented, for happiness large
ly depends upon digestion. ‘Without
health where does happiness come in?
After all the stomach plays a great
part in everyday life. Without a
healthy stomach and good digestion our
blood is thin, watery and poor, our
heart action is weak, our liver does not
do its duty, and man is misemable and
unhappy. Prevent disease by putting
the house in order and strengthening
'_:hp system against the germs of disease.
.~ Dr. Pierce, of the Tnvalids’ Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, M. Y.
years ago understood diseases and their
prevention, and he discovered certain
roots and herbs which were nature’s
remedies, and succeeded in putting them
ap in a form that could be easily pro
cured at the drug store (liquid or
tablets). This he called Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery. This Dis
covery gives no false stimulation be
cause it econtains no aleohol or any nar
cotic. It helps digestion and the as
gimilation of such elements in the food
as are required for the blood. Tt gives
to the blood tl: food elements the tis
sues require. For over fifty years it
has enjoved the confidence of the
Ameriean public. Try it now!

“DON’T

| FIGHT IN CALHOUN
'VOTERS MUST DECIDE BE
| TWEEN MORGAN AND EDI
| SON. WOMEN REGISTER.
1’ The neighboring county of Calhoun
is in the midst of a capital removal
fight, and the issue will be decided at
an election which has been called for
March 10th.
Morgan, the present county site,
and Edison are contesting for the court
house, and the campaign will be urged
with vigor by both sides from now
until the day of the election.
Women are registering in large
numbers, and this alone will add in
terest to the campaign, and will in all
probability result in having the courts
pass upon the status of women as
voters before the general assembly en
acts legislation giving them the fran
chise in Georgia.
The court house at Morgan was
burned some months ago, and the
necessity for the erection of a new
one precipitated the capital removal
fight.
B. Y. P. U. Institute
At Dawson Baptist Church
Plans Completed for Meeting at That
Church Week of March 13th.
Plans are now complete for a Sun
day school and B. Y. P. U. institute
at the Dawson Baptist church to be
held the week of March 13th. There
will be offered three courses, as fol
lows: The B, Y..P. U. Manual, the
Sunday School Manual and “Winning
to Christ,” one of the books in the
Sunday school course.
The Baptist people count themselves
peculiarly fortunate in having three
very fine and capable men to lead
these courses. Rev. Henry Melton,
one of Dawson’s best, will lead the
class in the study of the B. Y. P. U.
manual. Mr. J. W. Merritt, that spirit
ed and spiritual work with the Sun
day school board, will lead the course
in Sunday school manual. Rev. W. T.
Smith, pastor of the Waynesboro
church, and one of the best in the Bap
tist denomination, will lead the study
in “Winning to Christ.”
The plan for each day’s study will
be as follows: At 6 o'clock the first
lesson will be taught; at 6:45 light
lunch will be served; at 7:15 the sec
ond lesson will be taught.-In the event
there are those who cannot possibly
take the lessons at the hours suggest
ed the teachers will arrange to have
special lessons at some time in the
afternoon.
~ Pastor Lowe announced yesterday
that he is expecting at least seventy
five to be enrolled in the institute.
Anyone interested in this institute and
would like to take one of the. courses
offered will be welcomed. They may
communicate with Mr. Loyd Hatcher
or with Pastor Lowe. It is thought
‘that there will be several in this in
stitute from some of the Baptist
churches near Dawson.
