Has Four Different Times.


Atlanta, Ga.-The town Of Augusta,
this state. Is probably the only city
in the country having four different
times and all of them in use. It is
on the ninetieth meridian and the
railroads in Georgia use central time,
while the Carolina roads entering the
city use seventy-fifth meridian, or
eastern time. To try to avoid confu-
sion. the city has local time of its
own, which is half way between the
two. But what really adds to the COM
plicated situation is the fact that farm.
ers in the surrounding country nearly
all use sun" time, which is different
from all others. This last-named time
is controlled by the almanac that is
in every southern farmers home, es-
pecially that of the colored farmer.
A stranger has some amusing and
sometimes exasperating experiences
II he stops the average Augusta person
on the street and asks the hour. He
is probably told: Its 10 by Georgia
railroad time, 20 minutes to 10 by city

These settlers of the Pennsylvania
woods were believers in the creed of
Memo Simon. the founder of the Men

by step from Europe by the religious
intolerance of the time. Under the

they sailed for America and became
the pioneer settlers of Pennsylvania.
Since the first breaking of the soil
the county has felt the influence OF

Scotch-Irish in the south and the
Quakers, who pushed over from Ches-

northeast, among their iron furnaces;

religious aspect, is as cosmopolitan
