Mall Trains Runs Today.
The firemen’s strike on Iho Georgia
railroad which began ten days ago has
resulted in stopping operation of trains
completely. For a week not a whee
has moved and the situation at noon
Thursday was unchanged. Every ef
fort to settlo the strike hai been un
availing and conditions along the line of
the Georgia ar; becoming serious as
several of the small towns are without
supplies. Government relief now seems
to be the only remedy in sight.
It was authoritatively stated yester
day afternoon that mail trains would be
put in operation on the Georgia railroad
today, Friday, one train will be op
erated each way daily until normal con
ditions prevail again, the east bound to
arrive at 6:46 a. m. an west bound at
10 a. m.

which makes the record an admirable
one. The score was 8 to 1.

with umeteur clubs and may enter pro
fessional games next season as he is
