JOHN P. CHENEY WRITES ON THE
ADVANTAGES OF FARM DRAINAGE


diaries ditched out and planted in
corn, and it is going to make them
one of the most independent peoples
in the whole country. They will not
have to buy bushel of corn from
the Western States.
We could not find words sufficient
to thank Judge Williams, and others
at Monroe, for the many courtesies
they showed us on this trip, for as
soon as they found out that we were
there and came to see the bitches,
they came to us Immediately and ten
dered their services and showed US
every thing they were doing.
Judge Williams took us in his au-
tomobile and took us all over the
North half of the County.
We saw the land before the ditch
es were cut, and then went upon the
boat and for an hour watched the
wonderful work of the machine, and
then went up to the head of the creek
and saw the farmers planting their
corn.
| only wish that every farmer who
owns two acres of bottom land in
Cobb County could have been with US
on this trip, for am quite sure he
would have returned home enthusi-
astic and resolved to give to any
drainage proposition that we might
get here in Cobb his unqualified sup
port.
/ am certainly glad Judge N. A.
Morris, Joe Abbott, and others are
pushing the work on the drainage dis
trict near Acworth because | am
quite sure that it is one of the best
business moves they have ever made,
and for the further reason that it
will furnish an example which our
people here can see for themselves
without having to go over in Walton
County. | predict that when the
dredge boat gets started up near Ac-
worth every farmer in Cobb County
who owns bottom land will go to see
its work, and after they see it you
are going to see one of the greatest
farm drainage movements in Cobb
County you ever dreamed of.
When we drain our bottom lands
you are going to see Cobb become
one of the richest counties in the
South.
We were so much impressed with
Monroe and its citizens, and Walton
County and its farmers, that we are
going back in August, and take
large delegation of Cobb County far
mers Co see the great work these
dredge boats are doing, and see the
great fields of corn growing. On this
trip we want to take all of those who
own Cobb County bottom land.
| desire to mention especially the
great work that Hon. B. S. Walker
ASoIuSIIC VI 4 lie DdIlh O1 monroe,
and Hon. Josiah Blasingame, Presi-
dent of the Bank of Jersey, are do
ing.
The farmers of Walton county are
planting velvet beans, (Mr Blasin-
game, who by the way,will serve
with me in the next Legislature) told
me that he knew that there would be
over One Thousand bushels of Velvet
Beans planted in Walton County this
year.
/ must close this article for fear
that you will not allow me space.
| wish that could have more space
to tell you what the Farm Drainage
Act is doing for the people of Wal
ton County, and what it will do for
our people if we will take advantage
of it.
Respectfully,
JOHN P. CHENEY.

Under a plan that became effec- tive Wednesday, the operation of cars on the Putnam division of the Shore Line Electric Railway company, West Thompson to Central Village, is now under a. system much after the style used on steam roads.
 Each car or "train~ has it's number on the time cards that have been is- sued and the crews are required to check in and out at certain points on the line. just the same as steam trains do. Danielson and Elmville, which are terminal stations are checking in points, and registers have been placed at stations there for the use of the car crews. The crews found the rules added somewhat to their duties. on Wednesday, but the regulations were observed with care by the experienced men who operate the cars through this city.
