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!

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.
