President Markham Spoke.
He expresed for himself and the par
ty their delight at being in Augusta

very business-like talk on the rail

ed that the railroads are not what

measure the railroads’ own fault, be

STOP
Coffee Drinkers,
And think a minute!
Some persons seem able, for a time at least, to get along with coffee, but
it contains a subtle, habit-forming drug, caffeine, which sooner or later is
pretty sure to rob one of health and comfort.
If you know coffer don’t harm you—if you feel prime and fit under its
continued use, well and good—stick to it.
But—if von arc sometimes a bit “off color,’’ and irritable nerves, dis
tubed heart action, biliousness, headache, or symptoms of liver or kidney trouble
make you wonder what’s the matter —
Better find out what coffee has to do with it.
Evidently some people are learning the truth about coffee—listen—
During 1913 the sales of coffee in this country
decreased over one hundred million pounds.
*
A mightv armv of former coffee drinkers now use
POSTUM
and enjoy freedom from their old coffee aches and pains.
* Postuin, made of whole wheat and a bit of molasses, is a delicious table
beverage* absolutely free from the coffee drugs, caffeine and tannin.
If vou are interested in bettering yourself—think it over!
Postum now comes in two forms.
Regular Postum —must be well boiled. 15c and 25c packages.
Instant Postum —a soluble powder, requires no boiling. 30c and 50c tins.
The cost per cup of both kinds is about the same.
“ There's a Reason ’ for Postum
—sold by Grocers everywhere.
of certain oportonltles to inform the
public of the situation as regards the
railroads and the people
"Business Is Increasing 10 per cent
a year.'' said President Markham, "and
naturaly there must lie new lines
built to accommodate tills Increasing
business. There is very little mileage
going to be constructed In the future
unless the railroads receive better
support than heretofore,
"Stop Knocking Railroads.”
“The people have got to stop knock
ing the railroads; they must boos!
them." lie added. ,
The speaker stated that rs the coal
of living has Increased to the Indi
vidual so has the cost of living In
creased to the railroads.
He said also that there was a wroiig
impression In the minds of some of
the people that most of the railroads
are owned by Wall Street. This is
not so, he said.
Following President Markham. Mr.
Winburn. who was named the ke.ul
of t.ie Central of Georgia yesterday,
was introduced. Mr. Winburn is an
old Georgia boy, as Cupt. Rice re
marked in introducing him. Ills talk
was brief and along the line of Presi
dent Markham’s.
What Central Is Doing.
President Winburn stilted in regard
to tlie Central of Georgia that it was
doing till it could to develop the coun
try through which it runs in a pay
ing agricultural way—so that the peo
ple will have enough for themselves
at home, and also some for others. He
spoke of the road's policy along In
dustrial lines as well ns agricultural,
lie said the Central looked forward
to seeing this territory even hotter de
veloped than it i«.
Col. A. \V. Lawton, the newly elect
ed vice president of the Central, spoke
next. He said that he did not fsel
n stranger In Augusta. In Ills re
marks he mentioned the old South
Carolina Railroad, tile first railroad
100 miles lorig In the world, which had
such a long, hard time in getting the
privilege from the city of Augusta to
cross the Savannah river and enter
this city. Hut tilings have changed
now, lie said.
J. Rice Smith Spoks.
Mr. J. Rice Smith, who was for a
number of years Identified with one
of the largest fertiliser businesses In
the country, spoke for the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association, and
White Woman Was Beaten and
Left For Dead on River Bank
In Drunken Frolic Yesterday, Some Miles Below the City,
White Woman’s Hair Torn From Roots By Men Who At
tacked Her.
A hack loaded down with men and
women, evidently headed for a drunk
en frolic, drove down the new Savan
nah road yesterday to a point eight
miles below the city and then turned
off Into a road which leads to the
mouth of Hutler's creek. Arriving at
the mouth they unloaded and began
drinking. During the drink festival,
it seems that several of the party at
tacked one of the two women who
were along and beat her into insensi
bility. A large portion of the woman's
hair was torn from her head by the
roots and she was treated in the most
brutal manner, according to all ac
counts, and was left for dead near the
bank of the river. Workmen on the
jetty construction saw a part of the
gruesome affair and they seized two
of the parties to the crime and locked
them up and kept them until fi o'clock.
The woman who was left for dead
finally regained consciousness. The
others, excepting the two that were
locked up, made their way to the city,
while the two that were locked up in
the Improvised jail on the river bank
