New Records of
Efficiency for Central
~ of Georgia
New records for the efficient
handling of business were estab
lished last month by the Central
of Georgia Railway according to
a statement by President ‘W. A.
Winburn. He points out that
these figures indicate a gratifying
situation of returned prospenity,
improved conditions and increas
ed business throughout the south
east.
The Central during September
handled the greatest number of
tons of freight in its history, It
moved its freig'}Lt cars faster than
ever before, maintaining an av
erage of 34 car miles pef .day
which is excelled by but few
vailroads in the country and it
also broke existing records for:
car loading.
Mr. Winburn says the strike of
shoperafts is a closed incident,
that the shop forces now number
34 per cent of the number em
ployed prior to the walkout and
that the amount of work turned
out by the car department is 23
per cent greater than the output
prior to the-strike. Wi
There exists a certain car short
age due to cause beyond the con-‘
trol of the Central of Georgia,
the president declares, and at-'
tributes it to the fact that cars
owned by the road are held by
other roads, but he asserts that
every effort is being made to get
the cars returned and thus relieve
the situation. In the meantime
he ask the further helpful co
operation of the public in speed
ing up business through the
prompt loading and unloading of
cars and by the proper packing
and marking of packages. - :
THE GOLDEN RULE,
: ¢ ’
Coupled With Thrift
“The moving fing(:r writes: and, having writ
Moves on: nor all your piety nor wit ~ ,
Shall lure back to cancel half a line ;
Nor all your tears wash out a word of It.”’ .
(Rubaiyat of Omar Khyyam)
Let us all do unto cur fellow man as we would have him
do unto us. A harsh word spoken or an evil deed done today
cannot be effaced, while ‘‘kind words never, never die.”
It behoves all of us to make the very best possible use
of our time, and while helping our fellow-man we are accu
mulating dividends that will pay after we are gone. At the
same time we can practice thrift and frugality.
Earn while you may, and save while you can. Nothing
in the world will bring back the dollars you have spent
fcolishiy. (
