Hines has giv en an interesting opinion in regard to the compiaints made by the trav. ehog public as to the exchange of mileage book coupons for straight tickets at railway agencies. Attor ney Hines holds that the railroads’ regulation for the presentation an‘i exchange of coupons for mileage is entirely reasonable, Attorney Hines was asked by the Commission to furnish an opiion ‘upon the right of a common carrier !to expel a passenger, who had failed ito comply with its regulation, re. quiring the exchange of mileage cou ‘pons for a tickets. ~ Attorney Hines says that carriers of passengers may eject from their conveyances all persons refusing to comply with reasonable regulations, He says that the present mileage book arrangement is reasonable, be cause the purchaser enters into contract with the riilway cowspany selling the mileage book. One of the terms of the contract 1s that coupons from these mileage books will not be honored on trains except at non-agency points or at station agencies not open for the sale of the tickets, The purchaser, says Attorney Hines, gets a reduced rate and he is bound by the terms of the special contract, He says in conclusion that the arrangement has already been submitted to and approved by the State Railload Commission.— }Atlanta Jourual, May 8t«, 1909, Thomas-Rogers.

An Ideal place For A , Home, What s the matter with South East Georgia? Nothing at all. The trouble is with the eyesight of the northern people, who cannot see any thing so near home. If they would turn their glasses around they would find that distance lends enchantment to the view, It i 3 a positive fact that thousand of home seeker, when they make up their minds to make a change, are not satisfied, unless they travel a few thousand miles to fina ’what they want. They want the worth of their money in travel, South East Georgia is too near homs, and so all thess years when ‘the American tarmer from the crowded north and east has been looking for a new homestead where they coald established a new home, have gone )to far away British Columbua, Alaska, Old Mexico or Cuba to find what they wanted, while Southern Georgia, with as rich lands as you can find in the world, has been overlooked, Oue of the first thirg a farmer wvants to consider in establishing a home and a factory is the market for his prodece. It makes agreat dif ference whether he is three dags from warket, or a few hours. Jackson ville is only 42 miles away azd one of the best markets in America. The neXt consideration is climate, for in looking for a home a man wants a location where the mild and agreeable sea son gives assurance of good health and long life of economical feediag conditions, maturing of crops and exemotion from severe frost. With such conditions the farmer and has a fair prospect for a life of comfort and prospenty, If he finds along with the above conditions, g rich and practically virgin 80il and a abun dance of pure water, he surely can have nothing more to ask, All these conditions ean be found right here in Charlton County, iwhere our colony is located. Charlton County can accomodate fifty ‘thousand more farmers on 10, 20 and 40 acre tracts and then have land to spare. As to soil-1t may be said briefly and most emphatically than there is no more productive soil so be found anywhere than right here 1t Charlton County. I say, came and see for yourself and then you will be convinced. Peaches, [éars, grapes strasbetries, blackberries, and dewe berries, alldo well here. The wild grapes, ‘‘muscadine” blackberries and dewberries are found in abundance growing wild all over the country, Melons and vegetables of all kinds do well. Measured by products, by beulthfulness, and by the satisfaction which one gets out of life, we peo ple of Charlton County think our lives are cast in pleasant places and we have no desire to change with any other people in the union. It is e good fime to visit Southern Georgia night now. [t is not necessary to want for favorable visiting seasons. Come and see for yourself the riche ness of the land, and the great need the country has for your presence; partake of the hospitality of the Georgia peop'e and make note of the ad vantages in the watter of health and climate that a residence in Georgia, the banner state of the south, will give you.
