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 The speaker recounted enthusiasti-j MEASURE WOULD CREATE HIGHWAY FUND OF $3,500,000 HOUSE VOTED 94 TO 89 TO CON SIDER NEW HIGHWAY j FUND (By Associated Press,) j Atlanta, July 24.—The house voted I today, 04 to 89, to consider the new Carmichael highway bill, as a com- j S^than £ y lJ° le a ” d report " ot The measure would creat a high-1 way fund of three and a half million | dollars annually through the present automobile license fee and the two cents gasoline tax.

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 -------- r --------, -------- - , ing so industrially urged as among \ communities and individuals.

Among- those at the meeting now in session are Messrs. George H. Smith, Millard Reese, Rev. D. Watson Winn and Mrs. A. G. P. Dodge., of St. Si mon, and Fred G.

At this meeting, a very earnest effort is bein §' made to devise ways and means that may yet be brought into action to prevent the abandon ment of the splendid organization. President 3. B. Abrams, of St. John’s Haven, is away on his summer 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 homeless boys and in this age of ad vanced progress it seems like a shame to see such a movement placed in the discard.

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 from his home to At nta, paid by the commission, “and w ,<n things were made hot for him, r Rinded the mon ey.” corlinded V Brunswick has j since the report made by the i«*t cofrimissic j ers last year in whicPSavafmah wa. f designated as the site for the stat /e port terminals, before this city coiudd be heard, or was given the CK .ghtest chance to present its claims, that the commission was composed o f politi cians, a majority of whom wt re rank partisans and in no manner < jualified j to serve in that capae^.-- wi th fair¬ ness and impartiality t<| ny 1 Georgia port other than Savannfn**, It will be recalled thm of State Guyt McLendon, the commission, framed -j 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.
