FIGHTING MOVE
To RAISE RATES
FARMERS AGAINST THE PROPOS-
ED ACTION OF THE GEORGIA
RAILROADS.

Several of the farmers of Glynn
have signified their intention of plant
ing watermelions and canteloupes,
especially the former. on large scale
this season, as this fruit has always
thrived to a great extent in this
county. The st. Simon watermelon
has a reputation far and wide. but the
Georgia watermelon and the luscious
Georgia cantaloupe. two of the EN-
pire States proudest products of the
farm. will get it in the neck. to use
a well-worn but expressive phrase. if
the railroad commission allows the
railroads to charge the freight rates
which they are asking in their peti-
ton new pending before that body,
and which traffic officials OF the
roads undertook to justify in their
testimony Tuesday. A very substan-
tial increase in watermelon rates is
proposed of 25 per cent. above the
proposed new rates on watermelons is
also sought The Georgia Shippers
Association. which was organized for
the purpose of resisting all unrea-
sonable advances. will vigorously op-
pose this and other proposed new
rates.
Brunswick is lucky though in hav-
ing direct steamer Inc to New York
and the proposed raise in rates would
do less harm to the growers of this
county than those of the interior who
have to depend upon the railroads
solely. This should not keep the farm
ers from planting on a large scale
New York is an excellent market for
melons of both varities and the Nal
lory has weekly trips. sometimes
twice a week.

Thirty-siX thousand persons are
wholly or partly dependent upon the

have been distributed.
The Austrian government has ar
ranged to fed ten thousand people
after the commission's work ceases

sixteen thousand unprovided for.
Outside of those numbers the Aus

shortly before Roumania entered the
war. The capture OF two more towns

in the -Struma region but in all the
territory south and southeast of

been making important progress,
heavy fighting is under way,
1t is probable these operations are
being undertaken partly to relieve
the pressure on the Roumanians, who
are being hard pressed. In Transyl-

HIGH COST OF LIVING

The high cost of the necessities Of
life is, it is said, causing death in New
tragedies worse than death in New
York's East Side. Many babies are
dying of starvation. hundreds OF
school children are going hungry and
the high living cost is driving many
innocent girls into lives of shame.
The query is often put, are con-
ditions in the entire country to be
eventually similar to those in the
late Southern Confederacy during
the latter part of the war? Flohr
sold at several hundred dollars a
barrel then and all other necessaries
of life scared in price proportionate-
~. People have been studying poll
teal economy since the early days of
civilization, and there are still I'M
solved problems staring lawmakers
in the face.
We have all varieties of aestnetical
customs and sanitary laws which
would form a volume as bulky as
William the Conquer's Doomsday
Book. but the problem concerning
the high cost of living is as much
a puzzle as ever. 1t seems strange
that country stretching from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, where virtual
iy everything can be grown, that no
matter how high wages may 90.
prices of actual necessaries climb to
figures which require the expendi-
ture of all our earnings.
We are not political economists
but attention has often been directed
to- tM suncultivated land of the
United States. Were Alexandria sit
uatad dn an European country every
back yard would be cultivated. Hun
dreds of acres surround our city into
which plows have never entered. The
English. French and Germans would
utilize such surroundings, had they
the opportunity.
