Speaking
... THE ...
Public Mind
MORE ABOUT CROWDED MONTE
SSNO CARS IN THE MORNINGS.
To The Herald.
i read a card in your ’'Speaking the
Public Mind Column" the other ua>,
Signed by "A Hill Resident,” asking
for more cars in the mornings, par
ticularly, I believe, on the Monte Sano
line, because of the increased business
since the opening of the schools. A
or two later I noticed in your
”OWs columns where the street rall
®wy company had put on the extra
na.’vlce asked for and at the same time
another card from “A Hill Resident”
thanking the Augusta-Aiken Railway
and Fleotrle Corporation for their ef
fort to meet the public’s demand as
called to their attention through The
Herald’s ‘Public Mind.”
This morning two gentlemen and
myself waited for the car on Central
avenue at Wingfield street at some
thing like 8:15. When the car came,
approximately on schedule time, I
think, it was then so crowded one of
the gentlemen with me said he would
wait for the next car; that he did not
feci like standing up ail the way from
almost the top of The Hill to the city.
I presume, however, that his duties ir.
the city were not so urgent as mine
and the gentleman’s who boarded the
crowded car with me. The gentlemai
with me remarked that “they were
not running a double-header as they
did one or two mornings last week,
and that he would have to wait a
quarter of an hour till the next regu
lar car came.” I asked the conductor
if they were not still operating the
double schedule at that hour, as I
knew they did at least one morning
last week. He replied, that the com
pany put on the extra car only one
morning and then took it off.
Now, to get at the real facts in the
case, the car I stood up on all the way
lrom the Hill to the city this morning
carried, by actual count at one time,
iwenty-thrce (28) passengers standing
in the aisle and on the rear platform
before It reached Broad street, all the
seats, accommodating forty (40) pas
sengers, being taken before the car
had gotten three blocks from the top
of the Hill. The aisle was jammed and
packed from front to rear and the back
platform was so crowded it was only
with some difficulty passengers could
work their W'ay into the tar.
With these conditions existing be
tween 8 and 9 o’clock. I ask General
Manager Spofford of the railway com
«nany to look further into the condi
\ons on the Monte Sano line between
ne hours mentioned, with a view of
putting on the extra service.
I am absolutely confident that the
additional service will be furnished
when he investigates more closely Into
the matter and knows the real facts
with regard to the unpleasant, con
gested conditions on these cars in the
mornings.
If m arty way he finds, in his opin
ion, the extra service is not warranted,
1 would like very much to read through
this column Mr. Spofford’s explana
tion.
Very respectfully,
ANOTHER HIM, RESIDENT.
HOW MUCH IS A BILLION DOL
LARS.
To The Herald.
I onder how many of your readers
liaj e any conception of how much a
bij ion dollars really Is.
Everybody knows vaguely that it is
a thousand million, some think it is a
million million, —it is ail about the
same. It staggers the imagination.
At least it has no effect on the imag
ination, because few people ever make
any attempt to imagine it.
We say that Rockefelleiv has got a
billion; that he has an Income of a
hundred millions; that he pave slid
millions a year income tax. But we
do not know what that means.
I can give you some idea of how
much a billion dollars is in this way.
After the war of 1870-4871, the Ger
mans levied a war indemnity on
France of one billion dollars ($1,000,-
000.000.00), which the French paid in
side of two years. Now supposing that
the French had been unable to pay the
indemnity at once and had bargained
to pay it off at the rate of one thous
and dollars a day. ($1,000.00 a day is
a goodly sum at that.) It would have
taken them two thousand, seven hun
dred and thirty eight years to pay the
billion. That Is how much a billion
dollars is.
If they bad started on the Ist of
January, 823 B. C.. they would heve
had to pay $1,000.00 every day until
the «th of March next year.

FIX GWINNETT STREET.
To the Herald: \
Now that almost everyone has
something to say about fixing the
streets in various portions of the city,
I wish to call your attention to Gwin
nett street from Twelfth to Railroad
Avenue. This is a street which Is
used a great deal and It Is almost Im
passable except at a snail’s pace. It
does seem that the holes could bo
filled up.
I am sure that Walton Way and
Fifteenth street are in. or rather were
in, as bad a fix as your correspondent
Said they were, but Gwinnett street
is worse than either of them.
r hope that the city street force
will begin work on Gwinnett and oth
er streets in the city where It la very
necessary.
It is true we haven't money to pave
streets, but we can at least patch
them.

To Core Catarrh
Purify the Blood
Reason it Out, Where Does it
Start the Mucus From?
Innumerable catarrh sufferers hare
cured themselves by purifying their blood
with S. S. S. Catarrh often invades the
entire system before it chokes the nasal
passages. It becomes so chronic and ex
tensive that the stomach, liver, kidneys,
bronchial tubes and most of the glands
are involved without such serious condi
tions being realised. Catarrh may be
the result of some serious blood trouble
of former years, and this Is only one of
the many peculiar effects of Impure blood.
Now 8. 8. 8., in its influence npon the
mucous’ surfaces, causes those catarrhal
Becrctions to be changed or converted
into a substance easily, quickly, and nat
urally eipellcd from the body. It so
changes this mucus that it Is not the
ropy, clogging stuff that plugs the nose,
chokes the throat, causes severe bowel
trouble, upsets the stomach and contam
inates the food Just entering the blood.
It Is often difficult to convince catarrh
sufferers that chronic cough, chest pains,
gagging, fetid breath and other symp
toms are only the local evidence of deep
seated trouble. Get a bottle of 8. 8. 8.
today and try It. Ton will get good re
sults, real benefit and scon be sware of
a gradual cleaning up and a check to the
progress and dangers of catarrh. Avoid
substitutes. 8. 8. 8. is prepared only by
The Swift Specific Co., 81 Swift Bldg.,

partment for free advice that is worth
