NEURALGIA HEADACHE
Taxes and Telephone Service
cost of all forms of
government has grown
greater during the past
few years and necessarily
these costs are reflected in the
increased taxes every one
pays.
The cost of rendering tele
phone service has also in
creased, but the rates charged
for telephone service have not
increased in anything like the
same proportion as taxes,
wages and other expenses.
The Southern Bell Com
pany’s tax bill for the year
1923 in the five states of Ala
bama, Florida, Georgia and
the Carolinas amounted to
§1,410,267, or an increase of
more than 235 per cent over
the tax bill of §419,997 paid
in the same States during
1916. During the same pe
riod the investment in prop
erty increased 82 per cent.

The Unknown Soldier, the World Finds Him
a Hero Honored and Now Belongs
to the Ages.
(Adelaide Stedman, in the N. Y.,
Times.)
Armistice Day suggests a ques
tion. What enduring memorials |
has Armageddon inspired? Ten
years after the war and six yea's
after the peace it is possible to gain
a slight perspective. In spite of tur*
moil produced by the World War
and the clamor to forget, there ha •
persisted the universal demand for
commemoration.
What lias emerged to live and In
terpret this decade and its cata
clysm?
The story of mankind is written
in monuments and tombs. Since
the day when Jacob turned his pil
low of stone into an altar to com
memorate his communion with God,
down through the Pyramids with
their high assertion of the greatness
of kings; through Greek art with its
deification of physical beauty;
through the triumphal arches of
Home and her great forums of law;
through Stonehenge, Westminster
Abbey and the Tomb of Napoleon to
the Statue of Liberty in New York
harbor, the records of the nations
can be read In the things they de
lighted to honor.
Six years ago on November 11,
the allied world went mad with re
lief. For a few brief hours a uni
versal brotherhood appeared. Stran
gers met ns friends, men and wo
men forgot their jealousies and
prejudices and blossomed into o
common humanity—all this to cele
brate peace.
And hardly had the bells stopped
ringing before the nations began
translating their emotion into mar
ble, bronze and granite. First came
the great crop of pathetic wooden
crosses that appeared like some
strange war plant whose seed had
been scattered across the world by
men in uniform who sang nonsense
songs as they sowed. But they
were fragile things, grim reminders
only.
Bronze and marble tablets were
more enduring. Public and private
enterprise cemented rolls of honor
into their corridors; imaginative
war groups were scattered over
the battlefeilds. There were monu
ments to generals, monuments to
martyred battalions, statesmen had
streets named after them. And still
the people were not satisfied.
Then at last came a world idea.
It appeared in England and
France almost simultaneously. An
unknown soldier should be buried.
A body hurt beyond recognition
should be selected and entombed
with pageantry and pomp, and the
unknown soldier should he made
the symbol of national glory and of
national mourning. The Idea caught
the Imagination of the world. Deep,
fervent discussion possessed the
people.
On Armistice Day, 1920, the first
two great ceremonies took place in
France and in England. In Paris,
the funeral procession took its way
to the Arc de Triomphe, in England
to Westminstr Abbey.
There have been great funerals.
Caesar, Napoleon and Washington.
Washington and Lincoln were bur
led while nations mourned, but nev
er have any human beings gone to
their graves followed by such per
sonal grief, such personal pride.
In Italy, when her Unknown Sol
dier was laid beneath the Victor
Emanuel monument, one woman
in the crowd fell on her knees,
moaning, "My son, my son,” while
another placed on the coffin a
wreath bearing the words; "Here is
your mother’s kiss. Unknown Sol
dier. You are our son.”
That was the great secret.
In October, 1920, General Per
shing pinned our Congressional
The increase in taxes has
been a continuing process, the
taxes last year having been at
the rate of §5.15 for each tele
phone in service and an in
crease of 168 per cent over the
tax bill of §525,334 in 1917.
In Georgia alone last year’s
tax bill was §485,345, an in
crease of more than 191 per
cent since 1916.
Although taxes form such a
large part of telephone operat
ing expenses, the Telephone
Company has no objection to
paying its just share of taxes,
and pays cheerfully.

so that telephone users may
know the details of some of
the major expenses which are

You might be surprised to know
that the best thing you can use for
a severe cough, is a remedy which
is easily prepared at home sh just
a few moments. It's cheap, but for
prompt results it beats anything else
you ever tried. Usually stops the
ordinary cough or chest cold in 24
hours. Tastes pleasant, too—children
like it—and it is pure and good.
Pour 2*/i ounces of Pinex in a

instead of sugar syrup, if desired.
Thus you make a full pint—a family
supply—but costing no more than a

And as a cough medicine, there is
really nothing better to be had at

English graves. Other nations were
honored in turn. And so It went.
A year later, Armtslice Day of
1921, the people of the United States
held their ceremonial.
Thqre Is no historical parallel in
this country for the meaning and
the dignity of each step. From each
of the four permanent cemeteries in
France a body was selected. From
these four Sergeant Edward S.
Younger, appointed for the service
record, chose one for the great sym
bolism. Officer or private, waster
or minister, no one would ever
know. He was an American fight
ing man, that was all.
Transported across the ocean In
state, with guards of honor and low
ered flags, viewed by 90.000 people
while the coffin lay in the rotunda
of the capitol, November 11,
brought the final procession to Ar
lington. After the coffin, almost
literally, walked the American poo- .
pie. !
President Harding was there,'
spokesmanof the day: ex-President ,
l'aft and Vice-President Coolhlge.
Ex-President Wilson drove as far i
as his strength would permit.
The headline of the New York
Times for Noverflber 12 was “Our
Unknown Warrior Burled, the
World Honoring Him.” And so it
was. The list of names in the pro
cession Is enough.
There was Lord Balfour, bearing
a wreath from Lloyd George; there
was Foch, marshal of France; there
were the premier, Aristide Brland,
and Rene Vlvinni, ex-premier; Lord
lloatty, hero of the British navy;
Diaz, leader of the Italian armies;
Baron Jasques of Belgium, the Earl
of Cavan, representing the British
king, and bringing with him the
Victoria cross, that medal. In the
words of King George, “which for
years has denoted recognition of
, most self-sacrificing patriotic scr-
I vice.”
I in the list were Tokugawa, Prince
of Japan; Prince Blbesco from Ru
mania; Dr. Derich Stephency from
Czechoslovakia, one of the coun
tries for which soldiers such ns this
had died in giving birth. There was
Prince Submirskt of Poland, anoth
er war-created state; there was
Mrs. McCudden, an English gold
star mother, who had lost three
sons, a son-in-law and two neph
ews. The American Indian Chief
Plenty Coups was there, and Ser
geant Woodfill, accounted the brav
est man In the United States army,
and there were senators and labor
leaders, shop keepers and servants.
All over the country services were
held while the coffin was lowered at
Arlington, on tho green slope nbove
the Potomac, where It was to rest.
And what then? Was it just an
other wave of national emotion, and
how far and how fast would it re
code? Only time could tell, and time
has told, here and in Europe.
The Unknown Soldier has become
one of the great characters of his
tory. He Is still growing In stature,
accumulating prestige. Among Hie
outlying nations Rumania hurled
her Unknown in Bucharest. Portu
gal entombed two in tlie Church of
Bethlehem in Lisbon, little Jamaica
demanded the return of one of her
sons within the last week; Turkey
has so symbolized her dead.
When a monarch or other digna
tary goes visiting he first calls on
the head of the state, next he places
a wreath on the grave of tlip Un
known Soldier. And, more impor
tant, the ordinary folk, the trippers
at excursion rates, makes them
shrines their goals.
The grave in Paris Is typical?
With the true French genius for ef
fect, the tomb is almost* in the cen
tre of newer Paris, under the Arch
of the Etoile, from which radiate
twelve great avenues. There Is only<
a plain slab of marble, at the head
and foot of which burn perpetual
lights. On the slab is written; “Icl
repose un soldat Francals, mort pour
la patrie" (Here lies a French sol
dler who died for his country). That
Is all. And it is enough.
Around this shrine there are al
ways flowers and wreaths. To the
offerings are attached ribbons hear
ing names, and these names are as
various as the roster of the league
of nations. The Boy Kcouts meet
and send a wreath. The foreign le
gion goes Into session. Its first ac
tivity is to send a token. Humble
fraternal orders, great International
meetings, a Scotch womun, an army
nurse—all are represented, tho do
nors changing dally but never les
sening.
Where did the idea of entombing
an unknown soldier come from?
Few know. Most great concep
tions seem to spring spontaneously
into life. How many can name tho
artists who pictured the United
States as Uncle Sam or the one who
first drew Liberty as a woman with
a torch?
The Idea of selecting and bury
ing an unknown soldier as a sym
bol of the war dead came from Pro
fessor Antonio Sciortlno, a sculptor,
tho head of the British Academy of
Arts in Rome. He is a Maltese,
therefore a British subject, but la
Italian and Spanish by blood.
Professor Sciortlno, well known
in the art world of Europe, has spe
cialized In monuments, and during
the agony of the war he conceived
and worwed out thte Idea of a great
temple of glory to enshrine a na
tion's achievement, and In the crypt
wfas to be entombed an unknown
soldier as symbol of the warrior
dacd. Professor Sciortlno had many
friends among the officers of the al
lied armies. He showed his plans
and talked freely of his idea. Pres
ently It belonged to the world.
As long as this generation lasts
the tombs of the Unknown Soldier
will be places of pilgrimage, be
cause they enshrine human affec
tion. in these graves lie every
mother’s son, every husband, father,
brother, comrade. In the nameless
ness of the dead each mourner his
own and honors the sacrifice of all
who died.
Instinctively the nations recog
nize thaht these memorials are tho
world's tribute to democracy. While
Armageddon brought forth great
names, the people are dally showing
more clearly that the common sol
dier—the doughboy. Tommy Atkins,
the pollu —Is for them the hero of
the war. Around him they are
twining legends. In enshrining him,
have we done more wisely than we
know?

CENTRAL OF GEORGIA SUGGESTS PLAN
TO SECURE SETTLERS
The Central of Railway en dcavors to assist in every movement that
means the development of its territory, because it realizes that as the pople pros
per the railroad prospers. It recognizes the fact that new settlers -to develop
farm lands in Georgia and Alabama would mean much to the railroad. The
management, therefore, is ready to do its part in bringing to the attention of
home-seekers the opoprtunities in this section. '
Experience has taught us that there are many farmers residing in other sec
tions who are interested in tho South’s u ndeniablo advantages of long growing
seasons, ample rain fall, mild winters, great variety of crops and low priced
lands. But these agricultural opportuni ties must be so prepared and offered for
sale as to compete with the offerings of other sections which also want settlers.
It is our belief that the home-seeker will go to that community which offers him
a farm
1. Capable of profitable crop production. .
2. At a price he knows is reasonable.
3. Of a workable size that he dan afford to purchase.
4. Upon terms that will permit him to work out a portion of the purchase
price.
5. With moderate improvements.
The Central of Georgia considers th ese five requirements essential to the
success of any campaign to attract desir able home-seekers. To land owners,
real estate agents, commercial organizations and othe>s, the Company makes
the following proposition :
If there are actually for sale within a radius of 8 miles of any and all sta
tions on the Central of Georgia system a total of at least 200 farms meeting the
above requirements, the Central of Geo rgla is willing to advertise these farms In
publications which are read by the class of home-seekers desired. It will pre
pare and mail pamphlets which will set forth the advantages of this section for
home-seekers and explain how and why these farms were assembled and offer
ed for sale.
The farms must range in size from 4 0 to 200 acres, except that tracts espe
cially adapted for truck growing may b e as small as 20 acres, and those particu
larly suited for stock raising may be as large as 250 acres.
The farms must be under definite option, running until April 30, 1925, so
that there can be no question as to the stability of the price named and this
price must be considered reasonable after inspection by representatives of the
Central of Georgia Railway.
The terms of sale must require not more than one-fifth cash, as an initial
payment, with the balance in 15 or more equal annual payments, at a fair rate
of interest.
There shall be not loss than 10 such farms within a distance of 8 miles from
a Central of Georgia station.
The farms must either have suitabl e improvements or there must be some
definite arrangement to finance the construction of such buildings as may reas
onably be required, the actual cost of sa me to he added to the price of the land
on payment terms of not more than two-fifths cash and the balance in equal an
nual payments covering a period of perhaps 10 or more years.
At least one-third to one-half of th e land, depending upon the size of the
farm, must be cleared and ready for cultivation.
Large tracts of land requiring sub-division cannot be accepted unless they
have been actually surveyed and the lin es staked out, so that separate farms of
the required size may be offered ready for inspection.
Th* Central of Georgia Believe*, In tho light of pant experience, that the foregoing requirements
nro not unreasonable. We know that thin section possesses productive land which can bo bought for
prims which are relatively low when compared with those In other sections which are successful in
attracting home-seekers. We believe that, the problem which must he solved Is to offer these lands In
such a way us will give desirable settlers a real opportunity to buy.
Holding these beliefs, the Central of Georgia Railway Company desires to make a start toward
attracting home-seekers to Its territory. Those lnt>|'osted aro requested bNwrle for further details
