CA., MAY 16. 1926 IMPORTANT EVENTS Monday April 13, 1929. yj v |, ut thi.~ old ...onth of May has . ri-ad herself” us the little boy Baid 1 . tl having important cvenis '■ 'l l:\ over each other trying to hap- ’ Ea»-h one has fairly stcp- J'; u , llin the heels of the one going —and they are still passing. ’ Th r , was the Red Letter Day— ,, gaJ.iwin county kiddies came •o the Sing—to spend the day, .iiink lemonade, cat ice cream and . , v the movie. (By the way—did f you know that several of the •u men's organizations fuYnished • v ainonade and ice cream?—Well iM did—“we women” didn’t have ■ thir.g to do with it—and they came u;. tn the Court House and served it ;n0 FINE!)—And to see how Supt. Pi\in> and Dr. Beeson beamed—was v to behold.—You should have intr. at the Sing—JUST to see that. Then came Music Week—and didn't we HAVE a week? Of course _thi music faculty was nearly dead when i: was over—but who minds a httle thing like that when they feel •j. a t jt wa.. a success and that all |hioi| folks enjoyed it? \ U tomorrow—Tuesday—comes i « f. W. Field Day—and I think thousand girls have been practic- :„r it—I know it will be a great . UCT ,..<—and an out-standing event. Then—will come something to cap :: climax—on Saturday, my grand- wiil be here. Didn’t you know 1 ;i .l „ grandson? WHERE HAVE •mi keen all these years? So—if vou meet me on the street and you heir me say under my breath— What was it—what was it?’’—with .mile a yard wide and warrented NOT TO FADE—you may know I trying to remember what it was I was going to get for him that rorning. Y< - Sir. important things ure surc- •'appening. The zinnia bed at Green about recovered from “the pip"— but Verbina has the rash. My, my, poor thing—she is all broken out, and I am trying an old time remedy they used to give children in the .pring to clear the blood—so they said—sulphur stirred up in molasses, only—I’m not using the molasses. Of course I am trying to be very cheer ful about it—any ir.oher knows she can’t afford to sit down and cry when the children have chickenpox and whoopii^rcoujtfh—she hto stir around and be busy. Goodness knows—I hope Petunia won’t catch either the pip or the rash. She is just the Iswedtest thing—always smells sweetest just about dusk— Oh, by the way—did I tell you my grandson was coming Saturday? He And speaking of important events I am now driving my car MY OWN’ SELF.* Yes Sir. Of course—1 go all the v»ay around to avoid all the “stop” signs I can—for goodness knows it takes me long enough to get started—why should l have to STOP at every cross road? When I want to park—I come to town VERY early, before any of you folks get; there to take up all the spaces. Of cour.-e, I can’t be bothered by hav ing just ONE space to park in—not YET. One afternoon when I came in to town I drove all around hunting for two places—I just kept going and going turned until I was dizzy—and finally turned and came up on the side of the Court House where there wasn’t anybody at all—and I had the nicest time, and plenty of room. 1 didn’t violate but two of the ordin ances on that drive—but as none of the officers were around for me to report to—I take this opportunity to tell them. Of course they can’t ac res me—for I haven’t raid which two they were, and I understand you can’t arrest a fellow for one thing and try him for another. So far—I am safe. Anyway—I live next door to the Recorder—and lie i keeps chickens and two dogs. Before I leave the subject—just a word of warning—if you see me coming, get out of the way—I urn slow—but I P. S. If I don’t stop to pick you up—don’t get mad—I haven’t time right now and those twenty-four things I have to do to stop and start again take up lots of time. So don’t get mad! p. S. No. 2. Oh, I forgot to tell you— my grandson will he here Saturday! CENTRAL PRESIDENT CITES R. R. CROSSING DANGERS Citing the fact that 2.5G8 men, women and children were killed in grade crossing accidents in the Unit ed States last year, while an addi tional 5,000 trespassers were killed on railroad property. President A. E. Clift of the Central of Georgia calls attention to the danger of venturin'* upon ratlroad tracks before making :ure no train is near. Mr. Clift also mentions the fact that grade cross ing accidents represent less than 10 per cent of the total fatalities from accidents involving automobiles, as in addition 25,000 persons are kill ed yearly in other automobile acei dent, on streets and roads. W* In contrast to the high fatality totals, from automobile accidents. Mr. Clift quotes the 1928 safety record of the railroads, when ou tof 800 million passengers transported only 1G were killed in train accidents. grade crossing problem is •me of the most important facing this country today” says Mr. Clift, “yet there is no other offering so easy a solution. There were 137 grade crossing accidents on the Central of Georgia in 1928, in which 19 per sons were killed and 81 injured. Every one of these accidents could have been prevented by the exercise of the same caution which the aver age pedestrian exercises before cross ing a street, that is, looking to make pure his way is clear before leaving the sidewalk. Illustrating the care lessness of automobile drivers, one of every four grade crossing acci dents on our ralirond last year was clue to automobiles running into our locomotives or cars, sometimes after the train had come to a complete stop.” Discussing the proposal that all grade crossings be abolished, Mr. Clift declares that this could be ac- co-upFshcd only at a cost of approxi mately twenty billion dollars. He also says that the cost of this would have to he passed on to the public, either in the form of increased rates for the railroads or increased taxes, as neither the railroads nor the muni cipalities have any reserve fund that could be used for this work. He al so calls attention to the Supreme Court’s decision that the responsi bility rests upon he driver of a ve hicle to make sure that no train is approaching before he ventures upon railroad tracks. The exercise of this precaution would entirely eliminate the grade crossing problem. TAD IS DEAD. THE DEBENTURE PLAN. WANTED, ANOTHER EDISON. A “WANT AD.” the whole country. Prize fight enthusiasts, with half nn inch of forehead, or Charles Dana G.bson, with a brow like the dono i f SL Peter s will tell you “Tad was “Tad” Doragnn is dead. Millions knew him. He analyzed human na ture in pictures, as well as Dickens did in words. Stricken by heart disease knowing that he might die at any moment, he continued working c’jeerftflly and died in his sleep. The Senate may put through the “furm relief" debenture plan in spite of the President's protest. That is good news fop middleman. They would Buy farm products, export them and get a bonus on exported products. The farmer would get the bonus IF he could ship wheat or cotton direct to Liverpool. But he cannot do that. It is “hoped that giving a bonut to exporting middlemen will “auto matically" increuse prices paid the former. Silly hope.

To develop Edison, one among hundred- of millions, many ingredi ents, .including poverty and necessity were necessary. The next Edison is somewhere, on a farm, or in the city. There is no way to identify him He worked as u boy, in a mill, support his mother and younger chil dren. When his right hand mutilated, in an accident, he drew pictures with his left hand. A Hearst editor asked him to come from Snn Francisco to New York for double the fulary he was paid. Tad replied, “I haw my mother and six kid brothers and sisters. I wouldn’t leave them.” Invited to bring them all East at Mr. Hcarst’s expense, he came and established a reputation throughout Hov e debenture bonus would put money in circulation, even if it did the farmer no direct good. Also it would add to the rich man's taxes and make that resourceful gentleman say to himself, “I must think up a way to solve that farm problem." Expensive labor compels produc tion of new machinery. Expensive farm cure-alls will make financial intelligence interest itself in the farmer. It pays to get a good job and at tend to it And it pays to advertise. Twenty-two years ago, D. A. Craw ford very young, answered a "want ad.” and got a job as stenographer with Mr. Carry, late president of the Pullman Company. Yesterday, the Pullman Company directors, intelligently promoting one of their own men, chose Mr. Craw ford to succeed Mr. Carry, as presi dent. Don't stay in the wrong place. But don’t he in a hurry to decide that you arc right and the job is wrong. DEAR MR.
