Comparing ™ ilro,d «« ic “ ! ” c F rec ‘
„f 1920 with those of 1927,
L ..dent John J. Pelley of the Cen-
„f Georgia Railway in n atate-
published today declares that
those closest to transportation
.[fairs frequently underestimate the
tcnt of the improvement in rail
ed service during the past eight
years.
Mr. Pelley gives particular promin
ence to the increase in the total
lumber of locomotives and freight
cars available for railroad p-irons.
11,- cite* figures to show that in
jy27 the Central of Georgia had a
4aily average of 61 more locomotives
a nJ 9.7 more freight cars available
for the use of its patrons than it did
, n 11*20. This increase was brought
»bout, not only through the purchase
, { considerable new equipment but
ihrouirh the reduction of the amount
v : rolling stock in “bad order,” that
, 4 unfit for service because of need
for repairs.
Improvement was also made in the
expeditious handling of loaded cars.
In 11*27 each freight car traveled an
average of 30.3 miles per day, 5.2
miles more than the 1920 average. As
Hr. Pelley points out this does not
mean that each car traveled only a
little more than one mile an hour.
This rote of speed is based upon the
total of all railroad cars, including
not only loaded cars in transit but
shose being loaded or unloaded, those
needing or undergoing repairs, as
well as empty cars held in yurds for
which no loads are available.
Mr. Pelley alyo calls attention to
the fact that while the railioads
handled a great deal more freight
in 1927 than they did in 1920, the
year 1927 witnessed no such car
.-hortages or tie-ups as proved cost
ly to both shippers and railroads in
lt*20. lie attributes this elimination
.if disastrous shortages of equipment
to the reduction of “bad orders” and
the more expeditious hundling of
loaded cars. In closing he states:
"The improved service of 1927 was
rendered at no increased cost to the
putdic on the contrary the Central of
Georgia's average .revenue for each
ton of freight carried one mile way
less in 1927 than it was in 1920.
Railroad patrons now enjoy the
double benefits of improved trans
portation service and steadily de-
ereusing rates.”

CHAPLAIN'S REPORT
Milledgeville, Ga., May 1st. 1928.
The Hon. Prison Commission,
Atlantn, Georgia.
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit my monthly re
port for the month ending April
30th, 1928.
W. C. Logan, Hartford, Ky., sent
ua a supply of Sunday School litera
ture. The Salvation Army continue
to send us six copies of The “War
Cry” each week, anu the Macon Tele
graph, (secular) five copies dally, in
cluding their Sunday edition.
The chaplain's work has been inter
fered with this month by storms but
twenty-six religious services have
been held, seven of which were in
the deuth cells with condemned men.
Four persons have accepted Christ.
Sunday April 22nd, Dr. L. J. Bal
lard, of Atlanta, Ca., preached at the
Male carnp in the afternoon. E. L.
Padrick preached at the Tuberculosis
camp Sunday morning April 29th,
and Dr. Thomas, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church a. Milledgeville,
Ga., preached for both the white and
colored women at the Kemidc camp in
the afternon. Choice instrumental
music was rendered by the Misses
Beatrice Horyhrougb and Christine
j Cotner, of Milledgeville.
j Under the efficient direction of
Capt. und Mrs. J. K. Smith, Warden
i and Matron of the Female camp, an
j Easter prograine of unusual merit
was rendered. The twenty-six young
women ami girls who took part in
it were in Oriental costumes, all of
which were designed and made at
the Female comp.
The scenes depicted were those
connected with the trial, crucifixion
und ressurrection our Lord. Many
friends from outside were present
and marveled at the ability of these
women and girls to comprehend
scenes that were enacted nearly two
thousand years ago and re-produce
them so accurately.
It was nut an entertainment but
n religious service of a very high
order; and the program was so
splendidly rendered that a requeM
was made at once that it be taken
to the Male cump and given for the
benefit of the men. This was done
the following Saturday evening to
the delight and profit of those who
witnessed it.
Too much praise cannot be given
Capt. and Mrs. Smith for the splen
did work they are doing all the while
at the Femulc camp, for the intel
lectual, moral and spiritual uplift of
those under their care.
A few years ago the Sunday
School at this camp were conducted
by Social Service workers frem the
Baptist and Methodist churches in
Milledgeville. Today the Sunday
Schools in both the white and col
ored departments are officered and
taught by those in the camp, Mrs.
Smith directing the work each Sun-
Smith in the colored department,
day with the white women and Capt.
All Christmas, Easter and Mother’s
Day programs are now prepared and
rendered by the women and girls in
the departments of this camp.
There have been two death#, one
of whom was electrocuted.
Respectfully submitted,
E. C. ATKINS, Chaplain.

EDGE RESOLUTIONS
At a recent meeting of the officers
of the First Presbytreian Church
it was brought to their attention that
Rev. T. J. Morrow had passed through
a aucceasful operation, and there
were hopes for a rapid recovery. The
pleasure aforded by this information
was embodied in a resolution, and the
pastor was asked to write Brother

The reply to this letter of good
wishes will be of interest to the
many friends of this aged servant of
Jesu.* Christ.

Many thanks for the splendid and
cordial expressions in your letter re

Gratefully yours,
