GRAVES OF JOHN ROBINSON
REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIER
AND JURIAH HIS WIFE AN
IN BALDWIN COUNTY
By Mr*. J. L. B«t.on
On Friday Nov. 9, Mrs. H. D.
Allen, Mrs. S. D. Maxwell and Mrs.
J. L. Beeson, with Mrs. Allen’s Wil
liam, as chauffeur went to re-visit
the old Whitaker cemetery in which
it is thought James Cantey, Revo
lutionary soldier's buried and which
cemetery surely contains the remains
of Hudson Whitaker, son of the
American Revolution and of Mary
Whitaker, daughter of the American
Revolution.
The Nancy Hart Chapter will at
once order markers for these two
graves.
After viewing this beautiful old
cemetery in a grove of large pine
trees where the ancient brick ’
ar- now a heap of earth and brick
bats with the periwinkle vine grow
ing every where, the party began
a tour of discovery; the grave
John and Juriah Robinson being their
objectives.
Both John and Juriah Robinson
are mentioned in Lucian Knight’s
Georgia Roster of the Revolution.
The party went to the beautiful
old home of Mrs. Allen’s girlhood,
then on to the home of William Rob
inson, son of the Revolutionary
Solder and grandfather of Mrs. W.
H. Stembridge.
He it was who was the near
neighbor of Mia. Allen’s father, and
in the troublous days of the ’60’s,

The Railroad Scrap Pile
Thv public should be concerned about the condition of the
railrouds, ironi a selfish point of view if for no other reason. Rail
way service cannot b«* taken for granted. When a radioed can no
longer operate without substantial losses, abandonment i s the in
evitable result.
In the past ten years, in the State of Georgia alone, 16 short
lines have been abandoned and dismantled, and the process is still
going on.* This year the Interstate Commerce Commission has
granted permission for the abandonment of parts of two other lines.
The total mileage dscontinued in Georgia since 1921 reaches the
astonishing total of 597 miles.
Sufficient patronage by the public would have saved this mile
age from the scrap pile. Nearly 600 miles of railroad would have
continued to employ labor, pay taxes, require equipment, and use
materials and supplies
This mileage, as well as every other mile of track operated by
the railways, was built upon a purchased right-of-way and maintain
ed at their own expense. Competing forms of transportation buy
no right-of-way, but have free use of highways, and waterways, con
structed, repaired and kept up at the expense of the public—the
railroads paying a large share of the tax money collected for that
purpose.
If the public desires and needs railway servi
port the railroads, at least to th extent of irn
competitors be allowed to compete with them only i
regulation, supervision and taxation.

Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.
