Your Home, And Ours.

No matter how much of a chest
tut a story may be, it is always
new to the person who hears it for
the first time.
1t is even 50 when we advocate
faith in, loyalty to, and the build.
ing up of the home community.
We have written aud preached until
the subject has almost become a
chestnut, vet in every new effort of
our pen there is a sentence some.
where that strikes sympathetic
chord in the heart of some person.
No effort for local betterment is
entirely in vain.
We live in Starkville because we
believe in it. We believe in it be-
cause it is Il good town, regardless
of it's few defects, and its people
are the peers of those to be found
anywhere.
Starkville may not have the
wealth of some more favored com~
munities, but it has character. and
character is q possession which eau
not be purchased with gold.
fl you believe in your home town
you will like it, and if you like it no
1tfect toward its Improvement will
be too great for you.
Again we ask YOU who have faith
IN your own powers to also have
faith in Your own town.
When YOU feel like crlticsing it i,
check the thought before 1t is
spoken. You can always find
something good to say instead, and
even then the half OF the truth will
never be told,
1t Is u good town now, but faith,
loyalty aud united action will make
it better ore.

PRESIDENT MARKHAM
OF ILLINOIS CENTRAL
Asks for a Suspension of
Judgement as to
Rates.


From the Birmingham Daily News.
President e. Il. Markham, OF
the Illinois Central, has written a
very interesting and enlighteninP
letter to the public on the subject
of existing freight rates. He deals
with all phases of the subject, and
makes the point against those who
argue that the present rates are too
high, that, even it the rates were
reduced to the pre- war level on
cDtton, for instance, not a bale
more would have moved than has
actually moved, because of low
price and stagnation in the market
He argues that the same condition
exists with commerce and trade the
lcountrl over aad rail rates have
nothing whatever to do with the
period Of business depression which
is just now beginning to pass.
| Nor, from his argument, has any
la ivocate of a reduction of rail rstes
las stimulant to traffic plank to
stand upon after reading the pre-
stntation by this practical railroad
man.
| lie goes on to show tnat the
pre-war freight rates were really
800 low; under those rates there
was not sufficient earning by the
Railroads to make their securities
an attractive return, with the
re, nit those securities were not
taken sufficiently to enable the
roads to maintain their properties
as they should, and to make i'm.
psovements or bsttermen s, with
further result that the various
properties now need great amour,
OF money spent upon them. This
money can only be had ii the roads
are allowed tu earn sufficient to in.
luce investors to take their stocks
and bonds.
| Even as it is, freight rates have
not kept pace with the cost Of
operation and material. Since 1917
| freight rates have been increase
on the whole about 68 per cent ana
passengers rates about 40 per cent ;
juC during the same period rail-
way wages have been Increased
n re than 100 ! er cent while ma
Cerials and supplies naYe increased
trom LOO to 200 per cent-ane
.ven more.
