FILES CLAIM AGAINST GOVERNMENT The Transportation Act, 1920, guaranteed to the railroads com¬ plying with certain provisions of the act, protection against deficits in their operating revenues for the period of six months, March to Au¬ gust, 1920, inclusive, which was con¬ sidered a period of readjustment due to the return of the railroads to their owners after operation by the United States Railroad Administra¬ tion. The Atlanta, Birmingham and At¬ lantic Railway Company accepted the guaranty provisions of the Trans¬ portation Act, 1920, and has filed with the Interstate Commerce Com igion a c j 8im amounting to $627, 402 .r,7, which amount is due that line by the Government to make good its guaranty. MARSHALLVILLE PLAYERS DELIGHT FORT VALLEYANS The play, “All a Mistake, M pre¬ sented here at hte Austin Theatre Monday night by Marshallville home talent for the benefit of the Marshall¬ ville school library, elicited very fa¬ vorable comment. The plot was inter¬ esting, the situations gripping, and the acting would have done credit to many professionals. A fair sized au¬ dience was on hand despite the very inclement weather, and we are glad to know that our friends from the neighbor city realized some profit from the play after paying expenses. Had the weather been mor propitious their library fund would no doubt have been very substantially increas¬ ed. The music by the Marshallville home band was also a pleasing fea¬ ture of the show. Come again, friends, and Jupiter Pluvius permitting, we will treat you PAGE I better. ■o Mrs. Henry E. Valentine of Ma¬ con is visiting Mrs. Thos. N. Jarrell at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. S.
