BRINGING INDUSTRIES TO MILLEDGEVILLE.
Probably never before was there sich a demand for lo
cally manufactured materials as there is at this particular
period. We could call attention io many staple articles for
which there is a steady demand in the South, all of which
rouid bo made up from raw materials almost right at our
doers.
Milledgeville, as a centralization point, is suitably sit
uated to afford attraction in the matter of considering the
possibilities of opening up almost any kind of manufactur
ing enterprise. Too, we have many other advantages that
should tend to offer inducements in the matter cf develop
ing industries that would certainly have a decided effect in
bringing about a ..muter business to the already establish-
[ ed institutions L

Eatonton. Milledgeville and Hie smaller towns alons the
Central of Georgia Railroad from Gordon to Covington, and
in fact, the whole territory traversed by this division of the
road, needs an afternoon train to Atlanta; one that will
leave Eatonton at some time in the afternoon and make
connection at Covington with a Georgia train so as to get
to Atlanta at night. *
And we also believe that if the preper effort is made
now, the train could be secured.
Heretofore the schedules have been under control of
the companies owning the roads, of course, with the ap
proval of the Railroad Commission, and the Central Rail
road has naturally, we suppose, preferred to miss the
Georgia road connection at Covington so as to force pas
sengers to go around by Macon to Atlanta, thus carrying
.hem all of the way. Instead of half way—of course, the
pro erence cf the passenger mattered little as long us they
had to go.
Macon naturally has been in favor of this schedule, as
it can led many people to Macon to trade, instead of At
lanta, owing to the convenient schedile from this section
to Macon. We are not blaming Macon for this attitude;
but we are just stating what the condition has been here
tofore.
Macon being a kind of central point for the Central
road in Georgia, has evidently had a kind of nominating
vote regarding her schedule (at least indications would
seem to justify such an assertion, though we have no au
thority for making it) and all changes, -r proposed changes
through this section, against Macon's interests, have sene-
how lost out. If the Central company have been Influenced
by Macon, we do not blame them. They are looking out
for the business end of the work, and naturally had to
stand by a city like Macon.
Now, however, conditions are somewhat changed. We
have a regional director in Atlnnta who manages these
things and he is appointed by the government; and makes
sched les and plans looking solely to the welfare of the
g:vernment and the good of the people. Uncle Sam doesn’t
care, ycu know, whether our people trade in Macon or At
lanta, or whether they ride on the Central or the Georgia—
he shows no partiality between his children.
If the regional director is shown that we need an after
noon train to Atlanta, he can and will change a few sche
dules and give it To us. And we believe that if the pe:p!e
of Eatonton and Milledgeville and the other towns want
i he train we could gee it by taking the proper interest and
explaining the true situation to the above mentioned au-
ihority. For that reason wc are bringing the matter be-
fore ypu for consideraten; if you don’t care lor it, ihetv
there is no harm done.
We have only one train from here to Atlanta, or any
where to the North and West cf here—and that one passes
Eatonton at 9 o’clock in the m:rning. Of course we have
the evening train which passes here at about 8 o'clock;
hut it dees not make connection anywhere and anyone go
ing on it must spend the night at Covington. Naturally
that.sehed !e isn't worth considering; so, as we have said,
we have cnly one train a day going that way. After that,
the only outlet is to go by Macon.
Another thing. People from Atlanta, or anywhere north
of Eatonton or Milledgeville cannot come here and go hack
j the same day, but must spend the night somewhere. That

and the Georgia Military College, and so she naturally has
the best claim for srhedu’os to all seciiong of the state, and
at the same time all sections of the state ought to have a
go'd schedule to Milledgeville. People from the other dl-
re-’tkms, south and east, ran go there and get away at night
—why not make a change in schedule and give the other

SYMPTOMS OF GERMAN DISUNITY.
From the Savannah Press.
The most encouraging aspect of the successful offensive
of General Koch is in the final breaking down of fiction in
the German press, which is now acknowledging in dismay
that the German offensive has failed and the attack of Gen
eral Foch is "threatening the success of Hindenburg’s
plans.”
The Kolnische Volks Zietung says naively that "the
facia must no longer be hidden” and charges German de
serters of having made use of their kuowledge of the plans
i f opmutions to betray their country. We get here the first
Indication of the breaking of German unity, which is bound
to result when the Allied victories reveal the deception I
with which the people have been fed and Ted. Even more
emphatic upon this point is the Strasschurger Post, which
asks, in regard to the army of reserves which General Foch
appears to have built up, “front where do ih^se troops
) c me? Have the American transports really brought them
j more o ickly than was expected?"
j The blunder of blunders which the dishonest minds of
j the German rulers have perpetrated has been directed
j against their own people. Even now ihe newspapers of
! Germany are vastly underrating the strength and number
of the American grmies.
One wonders why it is that those who learn the art of
| lying become so quickly blind to the use of truth? Decep-
] lion is only urtrul and efficient when its intertwining with
to help j threads of tru’.h keeps it frrm discovery, but, like the use
| of opiates and alcohol, It takes possession of the human
, mind anil be. onu s u passion. Germany ow'es the resistance
; of civilized muions to her intemperate use of decr # -,ion and
her patent bad faith. The hideousness of her scheme of
world domination might have been hidden mill her plans
had progressed too far for successful interference, except
lor the fact that learning to lie too well, she lost confidence
in the use of truth and trusted too fully in the power or de
ceit. . Wo wonder if It has ever been different, or ever can
he different? There is an insidious fascination which evil
exercises ever the spirit of human kind which rarely ob-
>f flit* Waycross Journal- ! serves the boundary of policy and wisdom. It is an iutoxi-
V’lilr ad Commissioner of I cation, a condition of insanity which drives straight and
uitus I furiously toward destruction.
much The German empire will go down in history as the su
preme illiisiration of this great spiritual principle. Had it
followed the policy <f honesty and fufr play, the German
nation wot Id have remained one of the greatest on earth.
Someone hns recently said that this war is “only one of the
sUiri> ishes" in the great battle between the Almighty God
rad the powers of evil, which has always gone on in the
world.

lavingSiigarSavcslhipping
A MERICAN families would have less sugar than the
people of war torn France, if we depended entirely
on our home-grown sugar stocks.
Approximately 75 per cent, of our sugar is shipped
to our shores. We produce about 1,000,000 tons of sugar
a year. Our imports from abroad amount to over 3,000,-
000 tons a year in normal times.
The United States Food Administration asks each
family to limit its use of sugar to two pounds per month
per person for household use. The military situation de
mands that every available ship be placed at the disposal
of the Army or Navy. When we save sugar, we save
shipping.
