RAILROADS STILL HOPE !
FOR MORE PAY FOR MAIL
COST OF CARRYING U. S. MAIL
NOW IN HANDS OF
CONGRESS.

Atlanta, March 23.-Leading rail
road officials of this section are still
looking without entire loss of hope
toward some acton by congress
will put the much discussed railway
mail pay situation on more endura-
bic basis.
The entire ubject of readiusting
the compensation of the roads for
carrying the mails is now IN the hands
of congress, and the railroad men ex-
press the earnest hope that ur.il some
adequate steps are taken by the legs-
lative branch of the government to in
sure that hereafter the payments shall
be upon fair basis for service rem
dered, the executive departments of the
government will at least refrain from
imposing additional burdens on the
railroads.
The railroad men are counting much
on the expression of Mr. Wilson in his
letter to Secretary McAdoo on the
opening of the federal reserve banks
when he said, mo doubt in the light
of the new day, with it's new under
standings, the problems of the rail-
roads will be met and dealt with in a
spirit of candor and justice"

WOULD PLANT FLOWERS
ALONG THE DIXIE HIGHWAY

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Both
wings of the Dixie Highway between
Chattanooga and Atlanta will be
Desutified by the cultivation of spring
summed and autumn flowers along
both sides OF the roadway. The idea
of thus adding to the beauty of the
highway originated with Congress-
man Gordon Lee, of the seventh dis
trict, who will supply the flower seed
and gene. ally direct the work along
the route Mr.. Lee has secured esti-
mates as to the number of seed that
will be required, and has made ar
rangements to supply $4,000 packages.
2is sf'g idea t2 have flowers
1T is my idea to have the flowers
planted and cultivated under the i'm
mediate direction of ladies' organiza-
tons in the various cities and towns
along the highway" said Mr.. Lee. II
am taking the matter up with la
d'e2 living at N Ama"aa Rome,
i,ia, eeRinggoid, Car. rs,;.rc,.i arDeul.
Dalton, Kingston, Marietta and other
places. l am encouraged to believe
the plan will prove success The
ladies are taking an earnest interest
in the project"
Mr.. Lee recently visited California,
and there conceived the idea of plant
ing flowers along both routes of the
Dixie Highway. Many of the roads
in southern California are beautifisd
by flower beds distributed at inter
walls on either side The Georgian
made inquiry and was convinced that
the soil and climatic conditions in
Georgia was such as to make a SINH
lar innovation possible along the Dix
lie highway.

Washington D. c. March 22.-Dem-

Committee agreed today to include in
the coming general revenue revision
measure the administration tariff
commission bill. They also deter
mined to call caucus Friday night
to plan for speeding up legislation
particularly the appropriation and
revenue bills which are to follow the
preparedness measures.
Sentiment at today's conference
was strongly in favor of steps to in
sure better progress on legislation, in
accord with the wishes of the leaders
of Congress and the desire of Presi-
dent Wilson that Congress adjourn be-
fore the national conventions.
A proposal recently urged by Rep
resentative Kent, Republican of Cal
iforniR, to>eliminate the emergency in
ternal revenue tax of 55c gallon on
grape brandy for terrifying wines, was
accepted by the Democrats for incor-
uoration in the revenue bill. Mr..
Kent has said that the production of
wine had been cut to oRe-quarter of
the normal before the tax was M
posed.

of the tour of the Dixie Highway Of
ficials and directors ate soup and fish
here tonight while the front end of
the tour was drinking coffee and
smoking cigars.
The tourists struggled in allthe way
from $3.50 to midnight, due to a bad tie
up at Woodbine ferry.
When the tourists arrived at Wood
bine ferry over the Satilla river, forty
miles from Brunswick, there was a
strong tide. running out and high
west wind which made crossing the
river by me ferry rather ticklish
proposition, especially as the cable
which had been down several days
had not been fixed p.
Only One Ferry Boat.
The only launch at the ferry to take
the lighter across was a little 3-horse
power boat which the ferryman was
afraid to risk and the tourists had to
wait on the south side of the river
until two higher powered launches
came down from Refuge, several miles
up the river.
When the first launch arrived a
travelling salesman who had been
waiting for some time was the first
to tackle the hazard decreasing the
river, with the result that the lighter
launch and automobile and all drifted
a quarter of mile down the river
and fetched to ora sand bar.
By the time. a 25-horsepower boat
had come from ten miles away the
launch had succeeded in bringing the
Tighter to a landing and was ready to
take the tourists across the river
Four hours had 1aspsed and it was
now O'Clock and cars were getting

twenty-five minutes.

with genuine marine courtesy in
case of emergency the program was

srossed the cars with the officials and

A number of the cars left Woodbine

down the river to Owens ferry,
where ]. A. Dyal, wealthy land own
or, pulled off his coat and got out his
mill hands to put the cars across.
Trip From Jacksonville.
The tour left Jacksonville this
morning with fine weather and with
an escort from Jacksonville, Bruins
wick and Savannah. From Savannah
all the way to Brunswick the directors
encountered nothing but good roads
over which they made splendid time
and with but very little dust. From
twenty-five miles out of Jacksonville
the tour ran over fine shell road and
after that the road was graded and top
soiled practically all the way, a good
