In forming your words in Jenkin-
son Bros Co.'S prize word contest, 1t
is permissible to use every letter
that occurs in each phrase as many
timesas it appears in the phrase.
For example, IN May Manton', the
word mama" will be counted be-
cause m" and "a"sboth occur twice
in the phrase. In "Walk-over', no
letter is repeated, hence each Of the
eight letters may be used only once.

MUCH PROSPERITY
RECORDED STATE
INDUSTRIAL INDEX SEE GREAT
PRO PECTS FOR GEORGIA
DURING COMING SPRING.

Columbus, Ca, Jan. 25-The Geor-
3la ard Alabama Index says in it's
regular weekly issue:
Now that the winter is wearing on
coward its close and the opening of
the spring season is only a few weeks
in the future, plans for road building
in many Georgia and Alabama coun-
ties are being formed and the coming
of milder weather will see more real
work in progress on the highways of
the two states than ever before in
their history. The enthusiasm that
was engendered by the somewhat re-
markable good roads agitation of last
year has not dissipated and the fruits
Cf tnat campaign will soon be in con-
crete evidence. The progressive spirit
Of the times was well illustrated at
AleNander City, Ala where an indus
trial association was organized VITA
good roads as it's principal slogan.
The woolen stockings of France
are to come to the assistance Of a
business enterprise in Georgia, for it
loan has Deen negotiated for and Sc
cured, to help build a railroad from
Albany to the Gulf of Mexico. A
weave mill at Huntsville, Ala, is to
be substantially enlarged, plant for
the manufacture of paper from pine
pulp is to be established at Piedmont,
Ala.
Several thousand acres of land in
Chatham and Liberty counties, Geor-
gia, changed hands at a consideration
of $220,000 and the sale will be fol-
lowed by big timber development.

of interest that many of the new

during the week with capital stock

To INVESTIGATE
DELAYED TRAINS
STATE RAILROAD COMMISSION
WILL TAKE MATTER UP AT
MEETING THIS WEEK.

Delayed trains in Georgia will be
subject of Investigation and possible
action by the railroad commission at
its meeting this week.
The trouble is due chiefly to inter
state trains, which are late in max
ing their connections outside the
state; hence are always or nearly al
ways behind schedule time in running
through Georgia.
That some remedy is needed is evil
Dent from the frequent complaints
now coming from south Georgia cities
and towns, which are getting a serv-
ice anywhere from one to twelve hours
late.
An Atlanta paper recently publish
ed the actual leaving time Of the Sou
tAern's Cincinnati train and the Cen
tral Of Georgia's Dixie Flyer-the leav-
ing time from Atlanta-fCr each day
of the present year. The least delay
of any one Of these trains since the
beginning OF the year was thirty five
minutes, and they were frequently
from five to eight hours late and oc-
casiOnally as much as twelve.
These trains, of course, miss all
their east and west connections at
south Georgia points; b,th The mail
and passenger service is consequently
upset.
When Governor Brown was mem
ber of tae railroad commission ten
years ago lie made an estimate, up
in the hundred thousands, of the an
nual loss TO Georgia OF suspended en-
cry and effort On the part of persons
who spent time at depots waiting for
late trains. Hhe then urgently rec
! commended that authority be given the
commission to remedy such conditions
by requiring the railroads to run spe-
cial trains for local service, whenever
the through train that usually per
forms such service is more than half
an hour or an hour late.
The authority was not then givc'i
! but it is considered that the con-
mission now unquestionably has it
under the terms of the Gambler tct
J assed in 1907.

No NEW DEPARTURE
PRESIDENT TAFT TELLS OF THE
CRUSADE AGAINST COR
PORATIoNS.

Washington, Jan. 25.-President
Taft today made public the following
statement upon his reported crusade
against corporations.
No statement was issued from the
attorney generals office or the white
house indicating that the purpose of
the administration with reference to
prosecutions under the antitrust law
is other than as set forth in the mes
sage of the president on January Z
last.
Sensational statements as if there
were to be new departure and ia
discriminate prosecution of important
industries have no foundation. The
purpose of the administration is ex-
actly as already stated in the presi-
dents message"
This statement was. made after the
president talked with James J. Hill
a railway magnate, and received in
formation that prices were crumbling
in New York under the various re-
ports printed yesterday and this morn
ing.

Hopes to Land the 1911 Session for
His State.
His State.

Atlanta, Jan. 25.-While it is almost
certain that the next conference. of
governors will be held at Springfield,
ILL.,, Governor Brown believes the con-
ference, if prcperly urged, will come
to Atlanta in 1911, and it is hiSpur-
pose to place the matter before the
mayor and chamber of commerce at
the proper time in order that invita-
tons may be sent in due season and
the necessary work done to land the
conference
81 was very much pleased with the
suggestion which the conference
adopted" said Governor Brown upon
returning to his Office at the caDi-
tol, "of holding its meetings at the
various state caritals, the idea helms
to disassociate ii from the national
government.
while the national government
may be all right. we don't want to be
tail to its kite The conference &C
governors is an important institu-
ton, and it will become more SO. The
selection of the next place Of meet
ing was left to a committee. and it
is The general opinion that the next
meeting will be held in December OF
the present year at Springfield. ILL.,,
though Des Moines Is working hard
for it.
II believe we should take hold of
the matter in due time, and II we do
that we can land the conference OF
1911 for Atlanta.
"Uniformity in state laws was the
most extensive topic of discussion, and
while it will be difficult matter to
bring about uniformity in many laws
we may ultimately accomplish much
in that direction, But possibly even
! greater benefits will arise from an
exchange of ideas regarding various
laws. through which the governor OF
one state may discover something IN
the code Of another that will exactly
suit the people.
This conference is unquestionably
an important institution, and there is
no longer any doubt that it will be
perpetuated."
At one of the sessions of the confer
ence Governor Brown made a brief
address, in which he suggested that
the body should give more attention
to the conservation idea, and particu-
larly the conservation of the soil and
improved methods of cultivation. The
idea was generally approved, and it is
practically assured that several pa
pers along this line will be read at
the next session.
