TWO RAILROADS
DO NOT CONNECT
Citizens of Fitzgerald and
Other Towns Appeal to
Commission.

Chairman McLendon Of the rail
road commission of Georgia, has
received numerous complaints from
citizens of Fitzgerald, Abbeville,
Rochelle and Ocilla about the fail.
ure of the Southern and Seaboard
to connect at Helena.
1t seems that the Southern,
which carries the mail from Atlanta
and all other points north, east and
west, leaves Atlanta about mid
night and arrives at Helena at 5:45
a. m. The Seaboard train from
Savannah to Americas passes Hell
ena at $40, or just thirty-tive min'
yates before the arrival of the
Southern. The result of this fail.
ure to make connection is to cause
serious inconvenience to all the
people west of Helena served by
the Seaboard and to cause an ex-
tensive delay in the delivery of
mail.
These facts have been reported
to the railroad commission. Chair
man McLendon declares he is un'
able to make a ruling offhand ON
this point, or until full hearing
before the full commission.
He is willing to call this hearing,
if desired.
The railroad commission has
the authority under the law to in
vestigate at all times as to the
management and operation of rail-
roads, especially with respect to
the adequacy of the service afford
ed the public.
Under section of the act approx
ed August %, 1906, it is provided:
cit (the railroad commission)
shall have power and authority to
order and compel the operation Of
sufficient and proper passenger
service when, in its judgement, in,
efficient or insufficient service is
being rendered the public or any
community. 1t shall have power
and authority when in it's Judg.
ment, practicable and to the in
terest Of the public to order and
compel the making and operation
of physical connection between
lines of railroads crossing or in.

1t is under this grant of authori-

The Enterprise is not disposed
to be arbitrary in this matter. We
realize that we could easily do the
railroad great injustice and an
unnecessary injury. But we must
have the change in schedule.

ELECTRIFICATION OF
ALL STEAM RAILROADS

The advisabiHty OF wholesale elec-
trlfcation OF all the railroads in the
country has been formally considered
in abstract before the electrical en-
gineering associations. and the ques-
tion has been found so great that the
meetings were marked more by con-
tentiOn and argument than be defi'
mite results or conclusions.
Figures presented show the esti-
mated expenditure involved should
every mile OF railroad in the United
States be reconstructed for operation
by electricity. and the rolling equip
ment changed 10 correspond. The
total cost OF such a change is given
at about Sl.5OO,OOO,O Electrical

600 kilowatts or 2,S00,00O horse
power would be required. Fifteen
hundred million of dollars Is a sum
so vast that II means nothing 10 the
average person. and yet II represents
an investment so stupendous that
only an extremely small portion Of

much actual aud net saving. This
last sum Is indeed enormous. but Il

A GREAT PHYSIOLOGIST
Once Said the Way to Keep the
stomach Healthy Is TO Exercise IL.
But He Did Not Tell How TO Make
IL Healthy.

The muscles OF the body can be
developed by exercise until their
strength has increased manifold, AMI
a proper amount OF training each day
win accomplish this result, but It is
somewhat doubtful whether you can
increase the digestive powers of the
stomach by eating indigestible food
in order to force Il 10 work.
Nature has furnished us all with
a perfect set or organs, and IL they
are not abused they will attend to
the business required OF them. They
need no abnormal strength.
There is a limit TO the weight
man can lift, and there Is also a
limit TO what tho stomach can do.
The cause of dyspepsia, indigestion
and many affiliated diseases Is that
the stomach has been exercised too
much and II Is tired or worn out.
not exercise but rest is what IL needs.
To take something into the stom-
ache that will relieve II from It's work
for a short time-something to d.
gest the food-wlll give u a rest and
allow Il time 10 regain It's strength.
The proper aid to the digestive or
gans is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
which cure dyspepsia, Indigestion,
gas on the stomach and bowels,
heartburn. plapitatlon OF the heart.
and all stomach diseases.
Rost and invigoration is what the
stomach gets when you use Stnart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. for one grain of
the active principle in thom is sum
clent to digest 1000 grain OF food.
The Tablets Increase the fiow OF
gastric juice, and prevent fermenta-
tion. acidity and sour eructions.
DO not attempt 10 starve out dys-
pepsia. You need all your strength.
The common sense method Is TO
digest the food for the stomach and
glvo II a rest.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not
make the cure. but enables the or
gans 10 throw on unhealthy condi-
tions.
Perfect digestion means perfect
health. for under these conditions
only do the different organs OF the
