A MISAPPREHENSION.
It lias boon given out and hand
<•(1 around the Eleventh emigres
isioual district, apparently einaiiat
jug from Way cross and St. Marys
1 hat Congressman Lankford is op
posed to the St. Marys St. Marks
canal project.
This is a misapprehension and
just what the dealers in this gossip,
expect to get out of retailing it
does not yet appear.
Congressman Lankford is as
frank about this matter as one
could possibly be, when he says he
favors the St. Marys-St. Marks
eanal provided congress will make
a sufficient appropriation to guar
antee a sea level canal.
The interest which ninety per
cent, of liis constituents have in
the canal is for drainage purposes,
which only a sea level canal would
afford.
He is frank enough to say t hat
lie is opposed to the construction
of a lock canal on the St. Marys-
St. Marks route, because it would
lie an ever present menace to the
farmers living contiguous to it, by
flooding their farms and forcing
them to abandon their homes.
The Oenuilgeo canal project is
secondary and will be supported
by Mr. Lankford only in the event
a sea-level canal cannot be had on
the St. Marys-St. Marks route.
The Tribune is not the official
spokesman of Congressman Lank
ford, but for the sake of fairness
to all concerned the editor takes
the liberty to publish these im
pressions gathered from him in a
conversation on the subject.
The statement in the papers that
“Road work begins soon” may be
considered and is sterotyped and
stale. The Tribune man had rath
er see than to hear of its begin
ning.
The teachers of Chatham county
have just received a boost in their
salaries. The Tribune congratu
lates them. It takes a lot of
money to keep them in the front
ranks of society.
Cairo, in Crady county, claims
to be the largest cane syrup market
in the world, and it now aspires to
be the largest pecan market in
Georgia. But she is going to find
Albany a strong competitor.
If W. J. Bryan is heeded the
peace treat y and league of nations,

“The presidential year is the

the Savannah News. Mariah had
you thought about it! But, some

ADAMS’ OLD STAND, PEARSON. GEORGIA
TO SAVE G. & F.
It gives the Tribune genuine
pleasure to state that plans and
means arc being devised to save
the Georgia and Florida railroad
from the junk pile. The news may
lie very assuring to the many peo
ple and industries depending on it
for transportation to and from
market.
There seems to be $700,000
worth of Receiver's Certificates
outstanding. The plan, as pre
sented to the Augusta Chamber
of Commerce, is that certain inter
ests, not divulged, will care for
SIOO,OOO of these certificates pro
vided Hie peoblewill liquidate the
remaining $300,000.
The Chamber of Commerce
after considering the proposition,
decided to undertake the raising
of the $300,000.* It seems to be
confident that two thirds of the
amount can lie had in Augusta
and is quite sure the remaining
one third will be provided by the
cities aud towns along the line.
The plan is to purchase the Re
ceiver's Certificates, bearing inter
eat at the rate of 8 per cent, with
the road as first security, then re
organize the road and take it out
of the hands of the receivers. '1 he
directors are to be chosen from
among the purchaser of the certi
ficates, who will place skilled and
progressive railroad men in charge
of its operation.
The plan seems to be not only
feasible but a fine investment, and
the Tribune believes the Chamber
of Commerce will experience no
difficulty in raising the required
amount. The people of Ray City,
Nashville, Denton, I’valda, and
other live towns which have
sprung up along the line and de
pending on it for an outlet to the
business world, will doubtless
meet the proposition enthusi
astically.
If this plan succeeds, and the
Tribune thinks it will, the Geor
gia and Florida would become a
paying institution, and would
avert a disaster to the business
interests of South and South
eastern Georgia, the extent of
which cannot now be measured or
understood.
