AUGUSTA, GA. The Typewriter Man

of sinew and brawn that la so evident
today was visible then. He looked
like good football material, and he
tried hard to make good. For a year
he played with the scrubs. Then for
two years he played varsity sub. He
was big, but as he aays himself, a
“littie slow for the varsity, and too
green, maybe” His senior year the
student bdoy decided that nobody of
such imposing appearance and gener
al popularity as John R. Quinn should
languish on the ‘sub' eleven.
He was drafted to bs a cheer leadei,
and graduates of California to this
day tell his ability in stimulating
the student body and in stimulating
the teams they cheered. He was
graduated in T9l2—one of the most
popular men in his class.
Back went Quinn to ride herd on the
family ranch. He remained ther un
til in the spring of 1917, when on 9 day
he was “carrying” a herd of cattle up
to spring pasture in the dry meadow
hills, and received word that the
United States had entered tne war.
He sent his application for the First
Officers' Traniing Camp in just as
soon as he could, but he was one day
too late and did not get into uniform
until the second camp opened at the
Presidio in San Francisco in August.
A ranchman he naturally was put in
the artillery. He didn’t know a very
light from a Lewis Machine Gun. or a
French 76 from its caisson, but he did
know horses, and for that knowledge
and for his evident leadership, he drew
a commission as captain with three
months. He commanded Battery F. of
the 348 Field Artillery overseas. He
went through the Meuse-Argonne, and
was commanding his outfit when the
Armistice was signed and he was
sent to Treves with the Army of Oc
upation in Germany. Shortly after
that his company went to Brest, where
it put in several months building
macadam roads so other outfits could
go heme. Captain and battery did not
get back to the United States to be
mustered out until March, 1919. The
men were mostly Montana rancheers
and they liked their commander, but
say Quinn “They got back too late for
the plowing and too early for the
harvesting.” Aside from that, they
were pretty much satisfied.
The captain returned to his home
ranch, now at Delano, Cal., to find
there a new Quinn, now five. The
in-rancher had been married just
before he went away to war. Anoth
er Miss, Carlotte Ann aged two and
a half is also a member of the family.

There is a stepson, Bobby June Quinn
—twelve, left-handed and red headed.
The new commander early became
indentified with Frank S. Reynolds
Post of the Legion, which was organiz
ed in Bakerfleld in July, 1919. A lit
tle later he organized Merle Reed
post of Delano. The California De
partment of the Legion looked on as
both posts grew, and in 1921 elected
him department commander. The
next year he was elceted National
Executive Committeeman for the Le
gion.
Hs first became prominent in nat
ional Legion circles as department
commander. At gatherings of the Le
gion he was invariably singled out be
cause of his size (he’s six feet two
and built proportionately). And his
size was not belied by his methods. He
calls a spade a spade—no more, no
less. “I never call a man a polecat,”
he says “unless I know’s he’s a pole
cat. Then I know he isn’t going to re
sent it very hard.”
He has frequently ridden roughshod
over the pet ideas of friends—but his
friends always find out their ideas
needed riding down. He is not a sty
list. He is not a finished speaker. He
is first of all an American, then a Cal
ifornian, then a California rancher,
then the educated gentleman. “The
cowboy with a college education” he
has been dubbed. The phrase fits.
Central of Georgia
Handles Record
Business in 1923
The Central of Georgia handled in
1923 the largest traffic in its history.
Its gross receipts were greater than
in any previous year. Its net earnings
in 1923 were not as great as in cer
tain other years because of expendi
tures made for the improvement of
service to the public and with the
purpose of making this service to the
public and with the purpose of mka
iug this service as safe, as adequate,
and as dependable as possible. The
ground lost during the strike of the
shopmen has been fully regained,
both equipment and power now being
in the best of condition.
It is a source of satisfaction to the
management that this record volume
of business was handled without in
terruption, delay, or car shortage.
This achievemnet was made possible
by extensive purchase of engines and
cars, by improvements to tracks and
yards, by hte instalation of block sig
nals to expedite and safeguad trhe
movement of trains, and by strnegth
ening the railroad in the essentials
of good transportation.
It goes without saying that the hu
man equation enters into any record
of successful operation. Without man
power, all the factors listed above
would be like electrical equipment
without j|.he current. A wonderful
spirit animates the entire organiza
tion of the Central of Georgia—a spirit
of co-operation and a desire to be of
service.
The results are manifest in every
department. The railroad has handled
a greater tonnage, its cars have been
moved faster and have had heavier
loadings. Its motive power is in bet
ter shape than ever before. Its rails
are heavier. Its tracks are in better
condition. Freight has been trans
ported with less loss and damage.
This annoyance and expense to ship
pers has been reduced to a miuimum;
so has loss, damage, and delay to bag
gage. Where claims have arisen they
hare been adjusted promptly.
Precautions for safety have been
such that more than 3,800,000 passen
gers were carried last year without
the loss of a single life. Here again
nn |ai)hient personnel and modern
equipment combined to produce irnpy
py results. Vestibuled coaches and
all-steel under-frame cars provide
safety and comfort? Already well sup
plied with steel equipment, the Cen
tral of Georgia has purchased 15 all
steel passenger coaches which will be
put into service in 1924.
This review of the situation is not
to be taken as an assumption on the
part of the management that the maxi
mum has been reached or that perfec
tion has been attained. The Central
of Georgia can handle with its pres
ent facilities, a business 20 per cent
greater than it moved in 1923. It 3
employes, as they gain in experience
and In efficiency, are entirely capable
of producing even better results.
The traveling public will find that
Central of Georgia trains are operat
ed on time and with modern equip
ment that insures a safe and comfor
table journey. The shipping public
may entrust its business to the care
of the Central of Georgia with the full
assurance that Its facilities are ade
quate for prompt and dependable
handling. Illustrating this is the un
usual record of through freight trains
handling high-class merchandise—9l.l
per cent with on-time arrival in 1923
The general public may be assured
that the offices and employes of the
Central of Georgia have the firm pur
pose to provide a transportation ser
vice in keeping with the growth and
development of business in the rail
road’s territory.
General conditions are good; busi
ness is on a sound basis; agriculture
is following an intelligent program of
diversification and organization for
co-cperative marketing. The outlook
is promising. 1924 should be a good
year. The Central of Georgia desires
to have a part in making it such In
so doing it bespeaks the continued con
fidence, co-operation, and good will
of the public that has contributed so
largely to its past achievements.

Georgia & Florida
Buys Forty Miles
of Railroad Track
As the result of an order signed by
Judge A. L. Franklin in superior
court granting to the Georgia & Flori
da Railway the right to bid on tilt
purchase of some 40 miles of rail
road track between Portal, a small
town twelve miles from Statesboro
and Stevens Crossing, the steel rails
crmerly belnoging to the Savannah
i nd Northwestern Railroad hare been
j nrchased by the G. & F.
It was pointed out that when the b.
& N was sold at Macon on December
4, 1923, the rails were purchased by
one party and the real estate and right
of way by another. The Georgia &
Florida, offitials have announced that
they will take over and operate the
i read provided the people living along
, the line secure the right of way. Rep
; resentatives of the company are now
In Savannah for the purpose of nego
tiating a settlement which would en
j able the G. & F. to connect Statesboro
and Augusta by rail.
It is pointed out that such a line
would prove of great benefit to not on
ly the territory between this city and
Statesboro, but to Augusta as well, in
asmuch, as the only way that the busi
ness houses of this city can now get
into Statesboro is via the Central to
Millen, thence to Dover cn the main
line of the Central between Millen and
Savannah and then via a branch line
over the Statesboro, a distance of
about ten miles.
In purchasing the steel rails, it was
stated the G. & F. took advantage of
low prices, being able to buy in forty
miles of track at a little more than
one-half the market price . In the
event that satisfactory arrangements
can not be made and the right of way
cannot be obtained, it was announced
that the track will b torn up and
used elsewhere along the Georgia &
Florida line—Augusta Chronicle, Feb.
