COAST LINE’S MOVE WILL HURT JOBBERS Other Roads Must Follow and Change Rates. “When the action of the Atlantic Coast Line In 'blanketing* Its terri tory Is followed by other lines In the southeast—and they will havs to do It sooner or later—It will mean that the Jobber will have to go Into tome other kind of business. Seaboard, which also operates In south Georgia lines almost parallel with those of the Coast Line. It naturally fol lows that the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic, the Central, the Southern and the Georgia Bouthern and Florida will be forced to protect their Interests. As an illustration, a merchant at a station on the Seaboard five miles from u station on the Coast Line, under the readjustment, can afford to have his freight billed over the Coast Line to the neighboring town ami then haul K to | hi* store In wagons. The readjustment Is expected to be In effect on south eastern road* within six months.

'■ --- SOME PUNGENT COMMENT ON GRADY HOSPITAL AFFAIR To the Editor of The Georgian: To the shades of the departed Grady these periodical blplay* of the “outs” to get In. and the ’Ins” to keep the “outs” out of the Grady hospital, must afford Infinite amusement. Outside of the political “pull** In the business, these “college fellows” seem to have the monopoly. Their arrogatH Infallibility relegates us of the common herd to the alternative of Irregular ad vertisement, or to eke out a precarious professional existence on merit alone. Why can not the council coniine th* "college fellows" to their own medium of advertisement, and let some of tho other tax-paying and struggling doc tors have a whack at advertising through hospital preferments? We all subsist on the same alenlents, we grad uate In the same system of medkwl principles, and are supposed to be con trolled by the same ethical considera tions. If there Is a Caesar or Napo leon yet developed In AtlantA medi cine or surgery, no one has yst found It out! And In the absence of this one real crucial test of eminence, let us. for Grady's sake, have rotation un til either every one has a trial or a board of unquestioned efficiency has demonstrated Itself. These gold bespectacled pets and “special operators” are a menace to not only scientific progress, but even v» professional Integrity, and political preferment Is no sure and certain meusure of medical or surgical capaci ty.
