larged. If it paid sufficiently to en-
 able an executive to perform the du- l ties in a dignified and honorable way in addition to giving a decent
 livelihod, there might be some argu- ment against Governor-elect Robin
 sons decision to go to the senate.
 In Arkansas it has been a custom
 for years which made it impossible for q congressman, no matter how
 brilliant and capable, to go to the United States senate unless he first Realizing this, and with a desire that the one ambition of his life might be realized. Joe T. Robinson, who could have remained in Congress for the asking, cast aside salary of $7,500 a year to accept the governOrship, a position that carries with it the sum of only 5000 year. In addition he was forced to make an expensive campaignf-a political fight in which his opponent spent thousands in an effort to defeat him. But fortunately the people won and not the dollars.
 For ten years ill Congress, Joe Robinson is beyond all question the best equipped man for the senatorial toga. The fellow who would criticise Governor elect Robinson for having ambition worthy of the man is with out patriotism and is 1nsincere. Put yourself in GoveInor-elect Robinson's shoes. What would you do? It is not necessary to answer. You would go to the senate and that is what Joe Robinson is going to do.
 We are only human. Governor-elect Robinson i5 a young 'man-ambtious ed of delivery that few men in the senate can boast of. Why not let Arkansas go to the front and enjoy some of the nations greatness? Shali we listen to the petty jea1ousies of men who have a method in their madness. or shall we display loyalty for our state and give it the best ma terial possible in the national legis lative halls.
 The large majority of supporters of Governor Robinson over the state urged him to take the step he has taken. The few that criticise him for it were never his friends and they are only seeking to further the poli- tical interests of men who seek to capture the honor that rightfully be- longs to Governor-elect Robinson, be- cause he has made great personal sacrifices in an effort to reach the goal.

we must go out of the State to get
most Of our foodstuffs," Mr. Eve said.
We must depend on the West and
North for our wheat. corn, oats and
meats and their products and by
products. 1t is only natural that
these things should cost less in the
States where they are grown than in
States to which they are shipped.
The grOcers and butchers have not
willingly raised the prices of their
goods. Their profit is determined
largely by the volume of sales. and
they can sell more when food is cheap
than when it is dear.
Dealers Make Low Profits.
"GrOcers and butchers in Atlanta
are doing business now on a smaller
margin of profit than ever before in
the history of trade and are making
less money. Twelve years ago, when
the high cost of living first made its
appearance, goods were sold at a
profit of from 80 to so per cent. Now
they are sold at from 20 to 25 per
cent
The groceryman's expenses are
about II IL to 20 per cent, leaving
him a net profit of about per cent
on his business or sales; but not on
his investment.
1T is emphatically up to the people
of Georgia to reduce the high cost of
living by raising the things we now
have to ship in from other States.
and for which the soil and climate of
Georgia are admirably fitted"

events of his last run. Hundreds of
comrades, men with whom he has
worked for years, have congratulated
him on his nerve and foresight in
stopping his train in time to avoid a
terrible catastrophe.
Congratulated by His "Pal."
Among them was his old Chum,
H. II. Conner, engineer on the New
York and New Orleans Limited of
the West Point Railroad, who has
worked and lived with Ragsdale for
many years. The two men have their
homes at Macon and Montgomery,
respectively, but when in Atlanta they
room together at 10l IL Whitehall
street They are inseparable, and
Conner is even more happy than
Ragsdale over the successful frus-
trating Of the plans to wreck the
train.
Ragsdale is inclined to scott at his
own feat and to minimize the danger
that confronted the passengers on his
train. Pleas Of newspaper phOtgra-
piers that he pose for a picture We're
met by a smile and the emphatic
statement that he was not looking
for nOtoriety.
Il had rather have the love of my
wife and family" said Ragsdale,
than all the fame and glory in the
world"
Minimizes Great Feat.
1t was only after almost continuous
pleading that Ragsdale and Conner
consented to pose for their pictures.
Nobody wants to see my picture"
smiled the engineer. Il didn't do
anything out of the ordinary. l just
happened to see the open switch and
stopped my train before we reached
it. Any engineer would have done it
just as well as | did"
Other engineers say that Ragsdale's
feat of stopping a train running at
60 miles an hour in six car lengths
with nothing but the air brakes is one
of the most remarkable on record.

Bloodhounds Said to Have Picked Up Trail at
Scene Of Crime.

With an army OF railroad detectives
and deputy sheriffs spreading their
dragnet over the hills and valleys of
Spalding County in the search for
evidence against the men who at.
tempted to wreck the Dixie Flyer at
Hampton, Ga, late Tuesday night,
suspicion has been directed against
three young white men, residents of
the county, who are being trailed by
the officers.
Sheriff L. D. Huston, Of Spalding
County, who has charge of the in
vestigatiOn. and two railroad detec-
tives, have been working up evidence
against the three men since Engi-
neer Thomas b. Ragsdale saved the
lives Of hundreds of passengers by
stopping his train on the brink Of al
most certain disaster 1t is declared
that they have secured evidence
which establishes almost to a GER
tainty the guilt of the men, and an
arrest is expected within eighteen
hours.
Think Hounds Got Trail.
Neither the members of the Sher-
ifs force nor the railroad authori-
ties will divulge the names of the
suspected men or the nature Of the
evidence they have obtained against
them 1t is rumored, however, that
all three are well known citizens of
that section of the State, and sensa-

follow their arrest. 1t is understood
that their trail was picked up by the
