The Georgia State Sanitarium for
the insane is the greatest charitable
institution in the state. _
On December 26, 1837, an act of
the Legislature authorised the erec
tion of a building for the insane. It
was not until Dec. 1, 1841 that the
appropriation of f10,000 was made
and the Governor apponted a board
of three trustees, who were author
ised to appoint officers and prescribe
rules and regulations.
The center building, the first
erected, stands today and is the home
of the superintendent, Dr. R. C.
Swint.

the cornerstone of which was laid in

in 1834. This was one of the oldest

WHY PATRONIZE THE RAILROADS
Railway service offers to shippers and travelers depend
ability, combined with promptness, safety, comfort and mod
erate prices. The railroads ask for the patronage of the pub
lic upon this basis, and with the assurance of a satisfactory
standard of service.
There are other reasons for public support for the rail
roads. They are large taxpayers, and help bead the expense
of schools and government. They are large employers of
labor, and their payrolls put money into circulation in every
community that has railway service. They are large purchas
ers of equipment, material and supplies. They co-operate in
the upbuilding and development of industry and agriculture.
In every emergency the railroads are called upon for ex
traordinary action. As an example, unusual service and a 50
per cent reduction of rates on livestock and feed is the con
tribution of the railroads to save the drouth-strickr n territory
from disaster.
No other means of transportation can equal the railroads
in all-around usefulness. The railroads are an asset to the
country and the people—an asset which should be guarded
and built up by patronage and a sympathetic public interest
in their welfare. ’ Jf
Constrictive criticism and suggestions are invited.

President, Central of Georgia Railway Company.
