RFDTCED EXPRESS RATES OR
PARCELS POST!

The fact that the Railroad Com
mission of Georgia has expressed its
intention in a recently adopted order
10 Investigate the affairs of the South
ern Express Company and its bust
ness within the state of Georgia, gives
an indication of the remissness Of
that corporation in performing its
obligations to the public.
The Railroad Commission IS a
conservative body. Its actions are
reached after careful and deliberate
consideration Of the principles in
yoIved. Though the Commissions
resolution and order are declared to
Be general in their character and 70
have no special relation TO any case
before the Commission, it is manifest
that the action OF the Commission is
the result OF many and varied COM
plants against the corporation.
In pursuance of its well-establish-
ed policy, the Commission has invesCi-
gated the conduct of the express bust
ness in other states and in Georgia,
whereupon it now calls upon the
Southern Express Company to sub
nit sworn statements concerning its
affairs, allowing the company ninety
days in which to furnish these state
ments to the commission. 1t has been
shown in other states that the per-
centage of the earnings Of express
companies has been enormous.
Commissioners Gambler and Gray
were selected by the Commission 10
collect information concerning the
manner in which express transporta-
ton is conducted within the state and
elsewhere, so that there is no doubt
but that the work has been done
thoroughly and completely. After such
information has been secured and
considered, it is certain that the ac-
ton of the Commission in asking for
sworn statements Of the express COM
pany's affairs and in declaring its
intention to make an investigation
later, means that the people Of Geor-
gia have been paying express rates
that are too high.
There seem to be two available so.
buttons Of the question: Either re-
duce express rates or bring about the
operation of a parcels post blythe gov

The Times-Recorder and the people
Of this section indorse the action o
the Commission in bringing about al
investigation of the affairs of thu
Southern Express Company. The in
vestigation should be thorough ant
fearless to produce the helpful re
suits that are needed Some relic
from excessive express rates and tn
crmpany's negligent service are i'm
Iperative.

short in the concourse with:
"Wil, I'll have to leave you here"
Cannot you accompany me to the
train?" Mr.. Taft asked.

would not permit Of my going through
the gates.

A magazine editor at the Authors
Club in New York, was talking about
H. G. Wells, says the Philadelphia

Wells is now the foremost English

know, he found fault with everything.
"One day at lunch, getting tired of
his attacks on the tyranny of our

petition has been signed by citizens

There have been more new build

FLETCHERISM.-

The habit of chewing ones food I'M

certain food at certain times of the
day is called "Fletcherism, after Y
man named Fletcher, who advocates

question as to what extent this prin-
ciple of living can be applied to the

There is one thing sure. however,
much less distress and much more
assimilation of the Bodybuilding ele-
ments contained in every day food
would be experienced by people with
poor or impaired digestion if they
would only believe what We tell them
about Vinol
There is no mystery about it, or
Misrepresentation Vinol simply con-
tains the necessary elements needed
to re-establish a normal condition Of
the digestive system. There is no
need of going into the scientific rea-
sons why-it simply does it. that IS
all
Thousands of genuine testimonials
from reliable people prove this claim
and to further support the fact and
prove our faith in what we say, We
unhesitatingly declare that any one
who will buy a bottle of Vinol for
stomach disorder and malassimilation,
will have their money returned with

that it has done them good. Dodson' S

creditable number of manufacturing
enterprises. Looking over the list we
find them all operated by home capital
and managed by home men. By the
way, a good method by which to build
up a town from a manufacturing stand
point is to quit waiting for factories
to move in from other cities and sec

within. Moultrie has the capital to
