SUNDAY
FREIGHT TRAINS
For the first few years after the (
world war, the war was given the
blame for conditions that were bad.
There is a condition in Georgia
that did not obtain until it became
a war measure that ought to be
remedied now, and that is the op- j
erating of freight trains on the j
Sabbath.
There is absolutely no excuse for '
operating these trains on Sunday
and the legislature ought to get
back to pre-war days and stop this
desecration.
It seems that on Sundays the
railroad companies try to put in
more time than other days and all
day long, long trains of noisy
freight cars rattle along.
If business cannot do a week's
work in six days, let business stop
for Sunday.
Sabbath desecration is getting to
l>o an appalling affair in this coun
try and history tells us that no na
tion that persistently desecrates
the Sabbath continues as a nation.
We hope the Legislature will
take up this matter and stop the
useless practice of operating i
freight trains on Sunday.
And still parents who call them
selves good citizens permit their
boys under 16 to drive that auto,
a clear-cut violation of law’. Surely
they wouldn’t encourage their sons
to be law breakers!

some FACTS 1
About The Biggest Single
Business In The World
THE l . S. POST OFFICE | !
O’ —— o
America’s most cherished quality is
the pioneer spirit of its people. The i
United States Postal system, in the {
spirit of America, has been a pionee-,
in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, i 1
and now, with the opening of the 20th
century, it is abreast of the foremost ,
in progressive ingenuity and invention j
and service.
It was a mail courier who blazed
I the first trail between New York and t
Boston. <
It was the mail coach which brought
| into existence the old Boston-New j
York-Philadelphia-Baltimore turnpike .
—the great American highway. ,
Benjamin Franklin, as deputy post- ,
master general, made this post road ‘
serving the scattered colonial settle
ments show a greater income than
the principal post road between Eti- 1
gland and Scotland.
Richard Fairbanks, who conducted
an office in a Boston tavern in 1639 to ‘
receive letters from ships, was the i
| first colonial postmaster.
Benjamin Franklin in 1775 became i
I the first Postmaster General of the j
i United States. 1
Railroads were patronized by the
postal service from the time the first
few miles of track were laid. Subsidies ,
through the Postal Service made pos- (
e maintenance of many ox cne!
early railroads.
The railway post office was adopt
ed in the United States in 1864.
The Postal Service has always been
on the heels of the pioneer settlers as
i they advanced westward. Service to
day to Point Barrow on the northern
most tip of Alaska, and to the isolated
I miners in the fastnesses of the moun
tains, bears out the motto, “Where
American citizens go, the mails go.';
9000 CARS GEORGIA PEACHES
TO BE HANDLED BY CENTRAL
OF GEORGIA SAYS DOWNS
i A tribute to the Georgia Peach is
paid by L. A. Downs, President of the
Central of Georgia Railway, in a
j statement that sets forth its fine qvali
| ties as an ideal dish—delightful,
nourishing aypl health giving.
Mr. Downs states that apprcxi
rnatcly 2000 cars have been moved by
the Central to date and that about
7,000 additional cars, making a total
of 9,000. will probably be handled
during the season. He says that Geor
gia has not had a crop failure in 26
years—a record not equalled by any
peach growing territory. The peach
industry, he declares, is an illus-.ra
tion of the results of intelligent co
operation between grower and carrier.
The grower has studied scientific cul
! l ture and has developed a fine product;
! the railroads have developed proper
1 refrigeration ample car supply and a I
, j quick schedule to distant markets. The i
| Georgia Peach Growers Exchange is j
i now providing modern methods of dis-,
! tribution. In consequence, the whole
j country is able to enjoy the Georgia
I peach which brings milions of dollars
to the State. The railway President
points out that his road handles
peaches for but a short distance and
j that the interest’of the Central is not
a selfish one but that the road does
> participate in the prosperity that
- comes to the people of this territory.

Mad Dog Panic
Rife In Augusta
As 12 Are Bitten
Mad Dog Scare
In Brunswick
Causes City Law
: I
I The above headings appeared in one
. of our daily newspapers on the same
.; date recently. When will we do away
with our worthless dogs and adopt
{ measures to prevent rabies?
How To Handle
A Mad Dog
We have so many mad dogs, the bite
of one causes bo much anxiety and
the people as a whole become so ex
cited that we have requested the Chief
of Laboratories of our State Board
of Health what was the best and right
thing to do if a dog should bite one.
and here is his answer:
"Animals suspected of rabies are
frequently killed so early in the course
! of the disease that Negri bodies, which
are diagnostic of rabies, have not de
’ veloped in the brain in sufficient size
| or numbers so that they can be readily
detected. Since the microscopic diag
nosis depends upon the identification
of these bodies, it can be readily un
‘ derstood that In certain early cases
’' definite diagnosis is often Impossible.
"Therefore, if you should have s
mad dog scare, do not kill the dog il
| it can be captured and put in confine
’ ment. This is the safest way and the
I best way. for if the dog is mad it will
die within ten days. It will then bf
j soon enough for those who were bit
ten or scratched to take the treat
ment. However, In case of bites ot
the face or head, treatment should b<
I begun immediately without waiting foi
the animal to die or for a laboratorj
report. If later on it is found tha
• the animal is not mad treatment rnaj
II ! be discontinued.
t j »of course, if the suspected anlina
cannot be captured or put in confine
• ment, then it should be killed and th(
i head sent to the State Board of Healtl
I for examination. Do not shoot th
j ftßimal through the head or Injur* thi
