ROAD CHANGES.

The relocation of the road at Charleston when the Charleston dam is completed means that the county will salvage the present Charleston bridge and that the highway will then cross oh top of the dam.
 That will probably change the road from Charleston to the mountains en- tirely by causing the road to run straight from Charleston south to the nearest connection on the present road mp around Buena. or if an avail able wash crossing is obtainabie it might readily reach the present roa l al a closer point.
 Whatever the change may be it will make a beautiful drive along the rim of the north end of the lake for a short distance.

EDITORIAL

THE travelling statesmen of the
country are up in arms. They
have called upon the hotel men of
the country for reductions in rates.
The hotel men have replied that they
cannot reduce rates, because prohi-
bition has come along since pre-war
days and knocked out a big source of
their revenue, which must now be
made up otherwise. The travelling
men come back with figures to show
that there have been reductions from
Is to 70 per cent in the cost of many
of the principal items of hotel ex-
pense. And so the war continues.
An Americas travelling man is
authority for the statement that
statesmen everywhere are hard hit by
the failure of hotel rates to follow
the trend of downward prices. In
his own case. he stated that he had
not made a dollar in many months,
because he works wholly on com
mission and his expenses on the road
wipe out his earnings from a fairly
large volume of business for one of
the nations largest factories in
staple line.

THE many friends of Mr.. Neil A,

accident yesterday which resulted in
the loss of a part of his right hand.
He was working about a cotton gin,
when a heavy weight connected with
the machinery fell on his right hand,
crushing it severely.
At the close of the week Miss Sa-
rah Ammen, superintendent of the
City Hospital, will leave for vaca-
ton trip that will include New York
and several other northern cities.
Miss Ammen will be accompanied by
Miss Elizabeth Lemieux, one Of the
graduate nurses of the hospital staff.
Americas will be the Mecca today
for score and dozens of pupils, repre-
senting a half dozen states and half
the counties of southwestern Georgia,
viii will come to attend the fall ses-

Yesterday was a notable day in
the history of Americas, for it mark

6THE Sample Case" professional

6THE Sample Case" a professional
magazine representing the trav-
cling statesmen. says on the subject:
The reported action of the Hotel
Association of New York City that
hotel rates cannot be reduced made
decidedly adverse impression on the
commercial travellers of the country.
The reasons advanced by the associa-
ton are that the profits of the sales
of wines and liquors are no more;
that the 1921 hotel man is paying as
much as he did at the 1920 peak;
that the hotel man is paying more
than ever for taxes, gas, coal music,
insurance and telephone service.
There is not a house or business
institution that is not precisely in
the same boat, and yet the price of
manufactured goods and raw prod
ucts in wide list of items has been
reduced. Substantial percentages
and further reductions are being an
nounced every day.
"Take this list from a reliable
trade source for example:
Flour, so per cent; Potatoes, Is
per cent; Butter so per cent; Table
Linens, 30 per cent; Carpets, per
cent; Labor, 20 per cent; Sugar, 70
per cent; Glassware, Is per cent;
Furniture, 40 per cent; Coffee, so
per cent; Beef, 33 per cent; Fruits.
so per cent; Soap, 25 per cent; Tow
els, 40 per cent; Stationery, 50 per
cent Sheets, so per cent.
"All Of the above items are used
extensively by hotels and yet these
reductions are not reflected in reduo-
ed hotel rates except in comparatively
few instances. Some hotel men are
human enough to play fair with their
patrons and are adjusting their prices
from time to time; but the action of
the Hotel Association of New York
City will go a long way toward stop
ping this and inspiring the greedy
to continue to charge all the traffic
will bear.
at is to be seriously hoped that
the members of the Hotel Association
of New York City will speedily real
ize the wrong that has been done in
retarding the return to normal condi-
tions and will take steps to set them
selves right before their patrons and
show themselves willing to give and
take in the program of readju5t-
ment."
