Rev. Jm. M. Teresi bw accepted
tbe pastorate of the MiltedievUle
Baptist church, and will come to
the city the first of February from
Vienna, Ga-, to commence his du
ties. Col. Jos H. Jenkins was Sup
erintendent of the Vienna schools
before he came to Milledgeville in
June oi the past year to become
President of G. M. C. This is, to say
the least, an unusual occurrence, as
it certainly is beyond the ord'nary
for one community in a short while
to take from another its superinten
dent of schols, and one of its lead-
ins preachers. Vienna has been
made poorer and Milledgeville en
riched, as both of these men are
outstanding in tbcir professions, and
any community in which they may
cast their lot is indeed fortunate.
Mr. L» H. Andrews a.i good work
in making out a new map in which
is marked a record of the interments
and locations of graves in the city
cemetery. Milledgeville has one of
the oldest and most historic ceme
teries and the work done by Mr.
Andrews required much care, study
and effort.
The new bridge which will span
the Oconee river is nearly complet
ed. The first bridge remembered by
the writer was the one erected to re
place the one burned by Sherman
in his march to the sea. It was a
covered wooden structure, and was
in charge of a keeper, who collect
ed toll. Mr. Fhyette Echols had this
in charge, and lived in a house
which stood just south of the east
entrance of the bridge. This bridge
was, if the writer remembers cor
rectly blown away.
Mr. Morgan Thompson
first of January entered his thirty-
second year as an employee of the
Milledgeville State Hospital. He has
a record of faithfulness and effici
ency in the performance of his du
ties in the positions of responsibili
ties he has filled. Mr. Thompson
has during the years he has been
connected with this institution held
the highest confidence and esteem
both of the officials and his fellow
employees. He has made Baldwin
county a loyal citizen, and has met
the responsibilities of citizenship as
he took an interest in the affairs of
the county. He is a member of the
Hardwick Lodge of the Junior Or
der of American Mechanics and an
official in the Christian church. He
is not yet an old man, and the writer
hope* there are a number of years
Judge E. R. Hines is the Tester
of the Milledgeville bar, having
commenced the practice ol law in
the city in 1898. He is learned in
juristprudence. and an able practi
tioner, and has enjoyed a large clien
tele during the years. He is held in
the highest respect by his fellow
members of the bar who have the
fullest confidence in his interpreta
tion of law. He is now serving as
County Judge, City Attorney and
Attorney for the County Commis
sioners.
The writer has a few pecan trees
in the yard at his home. Nearly every
day these trees are visited by two
squirrels which spend some time,
hunting pecans and sporting in the
branches of the trees. It is interest
ing to watch them as they gather
the nuts in their paws and eat them.
There is no place in the trees for
them to conceal themselves, but they
finally run down to the ground pass
through the fence, and disappear in
tall trees acros<, a narrow street.
Where these little animals came
from the writer does not know anr
was surprised when he first saw
them.

THE RAILROADS IN 1935
In the period between 1929 and 1934 the railroads of the
United States suffered the loss of half of their traffic. It is re
markable that the railroads have been able to survive this loss,
much more remarkable that their standard of service to the public
has not been impaired, but indeed has been improved. Further
more both freight rates and passenger fares have been substantial
ly decreased during those five years.
The business of the country as a whole has, of course, not
decreased by anything like 50 per cent. The railway situation is
due in part to the depression and in part to virtually unrestricted,
unregulated—and in many instances—irresponsible competitfiom:
Such competition is not only disastrous to the railroads but is
against the interests of the general public. Lack of regulation
permits discrimination between persons and places, encourages ser
vice that is not dependable and sets up rates that are unfair, dis
criminatory and unstable. Such conditions years ago caused the
regulation of the railroads for the projection of business as a
whole. The grow h of unregulated motor and waterway trans
portion is bringing back the chaotic situation that formerly result
ed in the disorganization of business.
With the coming of the New Year there is good reason to
expect public and official sentiment to express itself in favor of
a national transportation policy that will place all forms of
competitive transportation on a parity.
If this is done the railroads, which have given a good account
of themselves for the past five years, will do even better in 1935.
As their condition improves, so will that of their employes and
of the many other industries so largely dependent upon the rail
roads. V 1 tjfil
Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.
