PROBLEM SUBJECT
M’CRANIE’S TALK
SUPERINTEN DENT OF A. C. L.
MAKES IMPRESSIVE ADDRESS
TO LOCAL ROTARIANS
The feature of the meeting of the
Brunswick Rotary Club today was an
address by R. A. McCranie, general
superintendent of the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad, who, by special invita¬
tion, spoke on the “Transportation
j Problem,” be the which the speaker declared
to most momentous question
now facing the American people.
Mr. McCranie recounted the fact
that the American railroads are
spending $1,000.000,000 in improve
j ments and equipment to meet trans
pollution needs of the present and
near future, and that the railroad he
represents is spending $26,000,000 in
double-tracking, signal systems,
equipment and improvements. They
are rebuilding the wharves in Bruns¬
wick, ami have already laid one mil¬
lion feet of lumber at a cost of ap¬
proximately $150,000.
The fact was also brought out that
the Atlantic Coast Line payroll in
Brunswick was $500.00 per day or
over, ami that the force at work here
was larger than it had ever been,
many ears being brought for repairs
to the local shops from other points,
because the work could be done here
more quickly and economically.
The trouble brewing- over the Unit¬
ed States was touched upon, and the
methods of LaFollette and Hylan in
the deception practiced upon the Am¬
erican public was decried. Mr. Mc¬
Cranie urged that the great questions
involved in the issues under consid¬
eration be handled carefully and pray¬
erfully in 20,000,000 American homes
rather than turning the matter over
to the politicians and selfish minority.
The misunderstanding of the Trans
portation Act extends even to United
States senators, and a program of
information should be engaged in be
cause of the fact that the average
American voter does not stop » to -- — in-j
form ownership himself. the Under government paid j
taxpayers ____...... and
their children will cotinue the paying
of a deficit of $2,000,000,-000 accumu- j
lating in only twenty-six months of !
such control. This bare fact should !
be enough, said the speaker to con- \
vince the public that is far better to ;
allow business men skilled in railroad •
managemet to run the railroads rath- !
er than turn them over to the politi- j
cians. Mr. McCranie had the undivid-1
ed attention of the Rotary meeting,
and hi s thoughts given due consider-;
ation, but without formal action as a
body being taken. i

GOV. WELLBORN, OF ATLANTA
FEDERAL BANK, DISCUSSES
CONDITION AGRICULTURE
YVdlbo'rn^goveiw Atlanta, Ga„ July 24,-Hon. M. B. !
serve Bank of Atlanta, covering the
sixth federal reserve district, todav j 1
discussed the economic condition of I
Georgia farmer and the operations.! necessity
0 |- a balanced program of
which jvi r . agriculturists Wellborn takes have the been position, ac-1 j
so
lively advocating, that the growing j
diversified crops is absolutely es
Rentia l, but that group or coopera
tive marketing with a scientific sys
tern of gracing, packing and shipping
ami releasing production as the mar¬
kets may consume is an indispensable j
link in the chain.
Perhaps no man in the state is in
clbscf tUTfrtl vt-lth farm conditions
than Governor Wellborn. This is
day ot co-operation -he points out-,
dgy of enforced reconstruction of,
agricultural programs by reason of
boll weevil, labor and other pressing
conditions.
A ml the Federal Reserve system,
as bankers generally point out. is
but the application of the co-opera
l.ve principle m the banking bus,
ness ot he nation As the head of
that insHtutw" therefore in the
sixth district which » m the heart of
the cotton belt, covering the states of
Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Tennes¬
see, Louisiana and Mississippi, Mr.
Wellborn knows what depression -has
been brought about by the old system
of production and marketing and
xyhat promise, with sound and safe
precautions, the new system offers.
There is no reason for the produc¬
tion of commodities that are not sold,
as leading’ agriculturists show, and all
of the many well known mercantile
commodities so easily produced in j
Georgia can be sold with a reasonable
profit to the producer, provided the
scientific marketing system for the
same has been provided prior to the j
production.
As Governor Wellborn points out
the old method of organizing the
farmer has been changed to the new
method of organizing- the Commodi¬
ty, and tlie latter has proven the only
dependable means of properly mar¬
keting the commodity.
Governor Wellborn argues, and
very correctly so, as farm experts
assert, that the power of the state
must be brought into action—as Lhe
agent of all the people to elaborate
plans and furnish credit, provide
warehousing, refrigeration and dis¬
tributing facilities by which the com¬
modities may be intelligently and or¬
derly released to markets as they are
ready to consume.
This can best be done, Mr. Well¬
born says—and he is eminently cor¬
rect, say leading farmers—by a great
state-owned warehouse and port sys¬
tem somewhere on deep water.
As many agriculturists point out,
this i s one of the crying needs of
Georgia in meeting this new agricul¬
tural condition, and it is a system of
state co-operation, which is now be

As The News goes to press this aft¬

in St. John’s Haven is being held in
the rooms of the Brunswick Board of
Trade with a view at he eleventh
hour of saving this great institution
for the Georgia boys.
Among- those at the meeting now in

Millard Reese, Rev. D. Watson Winn
and Mrs. A. G. P. Dodge., of St. Si

effort is bein §' made to devise ways
and means that may yet be brought
into action to prevent the abandon

President 3. B. Abrams, of St.

vacation, but it is known that he is
in hearty accord with the movement
to save the home.
St. John’s Haven has grown to be
just what its name implies—haven

to see such a movement placed in the
discard.

ported favorably the bill by Senator
Hodges to abolish the state port and.
harbor commission was recc'vetl in
Brunswick with expressions of ap¬
proval and the stntiment prevailed
that the committee’s action would
result in the commission being a non¬
entity before the ehp.se of many days.
In speaking of the committee in ad¬
vocacy of his Measure', Senator
Hodges charged tl*t former Repre
sentative Kittrell, o' Laurens, author
of the port bill, wit having ’ his ex
penses while in At .nta, and going

It will be recalled thm
of State Guyt McLendon,

favoring Savannah as t.he
port, which was supplen
an unwarranted and gn
tack on Brunswick, which,
was subsequently repud iat
Hardwick, Commissioner
ture J. J. Brown and
others, who disclaimed., that they au¬
thorized the embittered secretary of
state to refer to'* this city in such
terms as those / in the re
; port.
j It was also known by a number of
I local leaders/ in the port fight for
I Brunswick that tie author of the port
terminal bill was receiving bribes
from th eeommissioners and from eer
i tain Savannah interests to champion
! that city’s cause as against Bruns
Wick, where he had previously visited
! aS the ffU6St ° f the Y ° Ung Men ‘ s Club *
declaring that this city was the logi
cal place for the port terminals and
pledging his unqualified support to
Brunswick.
Dr. Kittrell, on reaching Atlanta a
short time afterward, changed front
and appeared on the floor of the house
as one of the most ardent Savannah
advocates. His efforts were fruit¬
less, however, as the legislators real¬
ized that Brunswick was entitled to
as much consideration as Savannah
aid paid this city a visit, as its guests,
and inspected the harbor for them¬
selves. This proved fatal to Savan¬
nah’s _______ chances ____________ of having _______ the port and
harbor bill “railroaded” through the
general assembly with that city des
ignated as the terminal site',
Mayor M. B. McKinnon, chairman
of the local port committee, was in

Continually and, especially at every

investigation follows that a report in
