One of our young mothers and
baby who happened to be on a
train attracted the attention of an
elderly gentleman. “A . fine
yoyng man, that, Madame. I hope
you will bring him up to be an
upright, conscientious man.”
“That will be a bit difficult,
said the smiling mother. “Not a
bit of it,”” he replied, “remember,
as the twig is bent the tree's in
clined.” “Yes,” she agreed, “but
this twig is bent on being a girl.”
Mr. Alva Ewing and family at

The habit of reading aloud is a
good one. It means the unity of
‘a family circle; it prightens the
wits, promotes freshness of
thought and power of expression.
If care is taken to modulate the
voice and to read cistinctly and
pleasantly, the everyday speech
of the reader is iaproved, and
that is a gain for the whole life.
Nothing makes a quicker impres
sion of agreeability, or the re
verse, 'than one’s manner of
speech. Then when an interest
ing book is under way the whole
family looks forward to the eve
ning when they can go on with it,
and mutual criticism and fault
finding are apt to be forgotten or
indefnitely postponed in favor of
the common 'subject of interest.
TO THE VOTERS OF THE
THIRD CONGRESSION
AL DISTRICT
I hereby respectfully announce
my candidacy for re-election as
your Representative in the Sixty-
Fifth (65) Congress, subject to
the Primary to be held Septem
ber 12.
During the short time 1 have
been your congressman, I have
sincerely endeavored to serve you
faithfully, and if my efforts and
record meet with your approval, 1
will feel greatly honored and pro
foundly grateful if you will give
me your support in the coming
election. Congress has been in
almost continuous session since
you elected me, and duty required
me to stay here, which prevent
ed me from visiting you as often’
as I wished. The Ways and
Means Committee is now daily
working on a Revenue measure;
being on that committee, I must
remain here until the new tax law
is pasesd. As soon as Congress
adjourns, or before then, if public‘
business will permit me to leave,
I expect to canvass the District,
meet the people personally, and
talk to them face to face, both in
dividaully and on the stump.
If re-elected, I promise to dis
charge the duties of the great of
fice with fidelity, and to the best
of my ability. ;
From the depths of my heart T
thank you for your past kindness
to me. |
Cordially yours,
Dd-Sep-19. Charles R. Crisp.

Have Manufacturin
B o
Costs Advanced 1916 Freight Service
At 1880 Rates
Si 1880? MR st e e
Ince :
Every business man, whether manufacturer or merchant, knows that the cost of
every manufactured article has advanced itemendously since 1880. The manufacturer
has, therefore, been forced to advance his price to the merchant, and the merchant to
advance his price to the consumer—in proportion to the increased cost of manufactur
ing—or else go into bankruptcy and close up shop.
The Railroads of Georgia are engaged exclusively in the manufacture and sale
of freight and passenger transportation. The transportation is manufactured out of
steel, and iron, and coal, and lumber, and crossties,” and brick, and stone, and con
+ crete, and human brawn and brain.
The selling price of this manufactured article transportation was arbitrarily
fixed and promulgated in the year 1380 by the then newly organized Railroad Com
mission of the State df Georgia. The Rdilroads of Georgia are today operating under
rates ACTUALLY MUCH LOWER than the rates fixed by the Commission in 1880.
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A REVISION OF RATES UPWARD SINCE 18800.
Has there been an advance in the cost of raw materials which enter into the
manufacture of transportation—steel, iron, lumber, crossties, brick, stone, concrete,
LABOR? ,
There has! Below we present a table of 25 necessary articles in daily use by
every railroad in Georgia, showing prices actually paid_during the months of August,
1914, January, 1916, and March, 1916, and a fourth column showing the percentage
of increase in prices actually paid by the Railroads of Georgia. The average incrgase.i
cost of the 23 articles of daily use-is 77.71 per cent, and much of it is paid to Georgia
producers of the articles.

AVERAGE PERCENT OF INCREASE IN PRICE OF 25 ARTICLES, 77.71 Pe.
IMPORTANT NOTE:—In compiling the above figures, the percent increase in March
1918, over August, 1914, the percent of increase to each railroad was totaled and the amount
divided by the number of railroads affected. The figures in the last column above are, there
fore, not based on the figures shown in the first and third columns above, owing to outstand
ing contracts by many of the railroads.
There has not been amy decrease in the price of any article, consequently the
above increases~has not been offset, but are NET.
Previous to the establishment of the 1880 freight tariff the Railroads of Georgia
paid state taxes ONLY, the Constitutional Tax of five mills. The Railroads of Georgia
mow pay city, county AND state taxes, which is a tremendous increase in taxes, But
we shall have more to say concerning taxes at a later date. : (
The above table does not take into comsideration the greatest advance in the cost
of manufacturing transportation—and the most important one—LABOR. We shall pre
sent indisputable facts and figures concerning this important matter at a later date.
The people of Georgia expect and are entitled to transportation. It is a FUN
DAMENTAL BUSINESS NECESSITY. The service MUST be supplied. FAIR com
pensation should be paid for that service. Such payment is good business morals and
will enable the railroads to render GOOD service, to which the people are entitled, :
A DECLARATION OF POLICY.
It is not and will not be the policy of the Railroads of Geor
gia to propose any system of rates which would unjustly discrim
inate against the Georgia producer in faver of producers located
without the state. Should this principle appear to be violated by
any technical construction of our petition we give assurance that
we will not propose, nor will we attempt\ to adopt, in actual
practice, any rates at variance with the same.
Intrastate rates should and must be made to conform to interstate rates. The re
vision of Georgia freight rates now proposed simply conforms to the principles fol
lowed by the Interstate Commerce Commission in ifs long and short. haul order, issued
in compliance with Federal Law. No unjust discrimination of any character whatso
ever is contemplated, nor would such disc rimindtion be toterated.
