The annual meeting of Post A, T. P.
A, was held in the Screven House
yesterday afternoon. The officers for
the coming year were elected, but what
was of equal, if not greater interest
to the members of the organization was
the announcement of Mr.. Max Krauss,
chairman of the Committee on Rail-
roads, and member of the Railway
Committee of the national board, that
the Southern Railway has stated it's
willingness to grant an interchangeable
mileage with its own system, the Cen
trail of Georgia and the Georgia, South
ern and Florida, and possibly with
traffic connection.
Mr.. Krauss advised the post to ac-
cept the proposition, which was done.
When the other posts of the state have
been heard from, if their action on
the matter is favorable, and there is
little doubt that it will be, Mr.. Krauss
viii then accept the offered compromise.
President A. w. Morehouse paid
tribute to Mr.. Krauss' work in this
connection and himself recommended
that the offer of the Southern be ac-
cepted.
