4. B. & A. AGAIN
MAKING MONEY
Once Threatened With Junking
SysteEa Is New Operating On
Sound Financial Basis

ATLANTA, Dec. 1.-THE Allan
ia, birmingham and Atlantic rail-
road, 900 miles long, running
through Georgia's richest agricul-
tural regions and touching the iron
and coal fields Of Alabama, has ac-
tually earned more money in the
past few months than it took to op-
crate it.
Official statements to this effect,
made public today, will be received
with unusual interest not only in
railroad circles Of Georgia and the
South but throughout the rest of the
country which has kept its eyes upon
it during its many trying ordeals.
10 will be recalled that reports
were circulated from one end of
the state to the other that A, B. &
A. was headed for the Junk" pile
An effort was made on the part of
several Georgians, either its enemies
or its misguided friends, as was
charged, to form an organization
TO save the road from the trash heap.
1t was asserted in some. quarters
that the movement had its inception
in a plan to discredit the system
following the defeat of strike ac-
tivities.
Railroad men in Atlanta and in
other sections of the South, who
have discussed the future of the A.,
B. and A. point to the fact that
the people of the entire state will
be highly gratified to learn chat it
is on the road toward financial re-
covery. The belief is expressed that
it will make its own way in future,
for it is building business, it is
claimed, that will mean a steady in
come-and doubt created when it
had to cope with its stfikes is prac-
tically done away. Much of its
business volume, during its trials and
tribulations, was knocked out. This,
reports now show, is coming back
and viii mean, railroad officials say,
safety and business security.
1t is recognized, Atlanta men point
out, the A., B. & A. not only serves
an important agricultural and indus
trial section on two states, but is a
vital "feeder" to other railroad
lines: The statement is made that
when other lines of business become
more profitable this short line rail-
road will become money maker.

C0RDELE CREAMERY
SHIPPING BUTTER

CORDELE, Dec. 1.-The Cordele
Creamery is turning out five thous-
and pounds of butter this week-the
largest output since the creamery
began business five weeks ago. The
yield from cream shipments last
week was 4,5OO pounds. The sup
ply for the Cordele Creamery comes
very largely from dairy operators
within Crisp county and near to Cor
dele. The Arab Dairy association,
which is Crisp county organiza--
ton, still sends cream to Ashburn
and no effort is being made 10
change it. The Cordele Creamery
officials are striving to place more
cattle within fifteen to twenty miles
of Cordele, thus stocking their
own creamery in territory close
within reach.

at home Thursday

the former law professors bride for
day, had been forgotten.
But today the home was to be
broken up. The Tiernan family eff
fects are to be sold, and the Dia-
mond avenue home disposed of.

somewhere in the East, taking with
them their three children, including

paternity suit was fought.
To prove the happiness of recon-
ciliation to all the world, Professor
and Mrs. Tiernan invited newspaper
men to public peace concert in
their home Wednesday.
Professor Tiernan stood at the
head of the receiving line wearing
a freshly pressed blue serge suit,
white collar and tie and gener-
Gus smile. He came into his own
again few minutes after being re-
duced to an abbreviated. wardrobe
of undershirt, old breeches and
a pair of bed room slippers,
precautions to prevent possible
elopement, it was said.
Mrs, Tiernan was radiant in the
thought that she had conquered.
Baby Billy was the only other Off
cial host.

else articulation, tinge of asper-
ity in his voice.
If she wants to fight it our I'll
meet her in any court in the coun-
try. My case is absolutely clear.
Tiernan had a conference with
George Sande, his attorney. The
hearing resulted in plans for the
formal dismissal of the cross COM
plant for divorce, thereby clearing
the docket of the last legal obsta-
Gle to permanent peace in the Tier
nan menage. The Superior court
has adjourned until December q, SO
