l73 Special Peach
Trains Operated
By Southern R. R.

ATLANTA, Aug. SOTO put Geor-
eta peaches on the distant markets of
the east and west in the fast time nee
eSsary to insure their arrival in good
condition, the Southern Railway sys-
tenn operated l73 special peach trains
during the season that has lust come
TO close. All were run from Atlanta,
100 going to Potomac Yards, Va, and
81 to Cincinnati, the Southern having
handled $500 cars of this highly per-
ishable fruit with practically 100 per
cent efficiency.
OF this total, 5,3l2 cars were re-iced
at lnman Yards the Southern's At
lanta terminal. at which peaches from
South Georgia are consecratedE $3.50
were moved East through Potomac
Yards; l,7o2 north through Chatta
nooga, Cincinnati and Louisville; "A
west through Birmingham. 20 south

IMPROVED
ROADS
Scientific Adjustment
of HIGHWAYS Is Needed

Often 1t Is thought that heavy vehi-
cles, carrying heavy loads, are respon-
sible for the deplorabe condition of
some of our highways. We have seen
Photographic and other proof of the
wrecking Of roads, indicating that
these roads had been blown up from
beneath the surface. We have seen the
calamitous condition of pavements
smashed by pressure Of some kind.
What Is the answer?
In the fall we fnd some roads ap-
pearing to be models Of durability. In
the spring they are wrecks. Mean
while heavy trucks had been driven
over them. Could there be a superb
fially palmer case of cause and. eff
feet?
On some stretches Of the very road
where the collapse of the pavements
Is most discouraglng nothing goes
wrong. There the trucks do not crush
the concrete or buckle the brick pave
merts, The loads are precisely the
same that are hauled over tie other
stretches of the road The same
wheels Of the same vehicles roll over
sections that stand up under the test
that roll over the strips that give
away.
What, then, is responsible?
Is II the weight of the loads or Is
1t the manner in which the road was
constructed? Is 1t the way the build
ers failed to adapt their work to the
conditions they had to deal with?
Matters of soil and drainage, ma
terials and construction methods were
not given proper attention.
When one road along a sandy ridge,
with good natural drainage, comes
through a hard winter scarcely the
worse for wear at any point, and an
other road In the same district and
the same climate, carrying the same
traffic, with the same truckloads, but
with spots where the subsoil is wet
and there Is no natural drainage, Is
found In state of collapse after the
frost comes out of the ground, what
Is the logical conclusion? Is 1t lighter
roads or closer attention to drainage
and other important features entering
into the construction of our highways?
| Isn't the remedy to be sought in the
more scientific adjustment of the
highways to the natural changes In
the direction of larger vehicle units
and more economical transportation
on the public roads?
The question is vital to the solution
of the whole problem of county high.
ways, their construction and mainte
nance. 1t is Of immense importance
to all producers and consumers. 1t Is
basic transportation problem fol
Americas millions Of people who want
to do the sensible thing and the right
thing by all interested.
One of the gratifying evidences OF
appreciation of the value OF truck
transportation throughout the country
is the determination Of responsible au
thorities to have real highways, moi
merely makeshifts. They have profit
ed by experience and realize that tC
meet the transportation conditions the
highways must be constructed accord
inRly.

and President Harding. This feeling
of opposition TO the choosing of the
personnel of the suprehe court by
member of the court developed further
intensity when it was reported in the
press that President Harding would
nominate Judge Sanford Of Tennessee
to fill. the vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton of Justice Pitney.
For one thing Judge Sanford was
appointed to the bench with the en-
dorsement of Taft in 1905 and sena-
tors say he was recommended TO Mr..
Harding By Mr.. Taft for the highest
court in the land. The capitol credits
Mr.. Taft with having picked Judge San.
ford. Every indication pointed TO his
nomination. At first IL was reported
that Senator Shields of Tennessee would
oppose confirmation, but he has denied
that and has said that if Judge San
ford were nominated he would be con-
firmed.
Fear of Conservatism.
The question has therefore turned on
the wisdom of sending Judge Sanford's
name to the senate at all. The Progress
siye bloc in the senate has been get
ting FESTIVE. They originally opposed
Mr.. Taft when he was president, and
conducted their insurgency chiefly
against what they termed his conserva'
tism. They regard him as a conserva-
tive on the bench and fear that Presi-
dent Harding will fill the bench up with
too many conservatives. If Mr.. Harding
consults the conservative element on the
supreme bench he will have conserva-
tives recommended to him just as the
Liberals or progressive members like
Justice Brandeis and Justice Oliver
Wendell! Holmes would. if asked, natur-
ally select men of their way os think
ing.
It's the principle Of the thing, there
fore which is causing the controversy.

full, but quite apart from that are the
circumstances which have influenced
Mr.. Harding to Observation-Disclosures
that are unique if not unprecedented
in American history. ...
It's the old story Of the separation
of powers-the drawing of sharp lines
Of cleavage between the executive, legis-
lative and judicial branches of the gov
eminent. For there is good deal Of
criticism of Chief Justice Taft because
of the part he has been playing in the
selection of judges for the supreme
bench. Some Republicans and several
Democrats are known to have expressed
themselves quite frankly on the subject
and Mr.. Harding knows their view.
point. They have the highest regard
for Mr.. Taft and sympathize with his
desire to haze efficient colleagues but
they question the propriety of his tax
ing an active part in the process of Sc
lection which they hold is purely ar
executive action with the consent of the
upper house of the National legislative
body.

The feeling Of many senator's is that
the judiciary should not be consulted.
but should be kept free from influencing
either the executive or the legislative
branches of the government. President
Harding is believed TO have felt that
there was no improprietv in asking the
chief Justices advice, not only because
Mr.. Taft knows the needs Of the bench.
but because as president of the United
States the latter developed an acquaint-
ance with some of the outstanding fig.
ures in the American bar. Never be-
fore had there been chief justice who
had Mr.. Taft's experience as President
of the United States. In fact, Mr..
Taft has the unique record of sitting
alongside members of the supreme court
whom he appointed to office when he
was Chief Executive. Unless the SEN
ate movement against his participation
in the selection of associate judges is
arrested he will have exercised more
individual influence on the makeup of
the supreme court than any man in
American history.

DOLLINGS CREDITORS HELD
MEETING IN MILFORD FRIDAY

A large number of creditors of the
Dollings Company who reside in Mil
ford and vicinity met in the Armory
Hall last Friday evening, at which
time full discussion of the steps to
be taken in an effort to regain some
of the money invested with that con-
Germ was held. The meeting was ad-
dressed by Mr.. Woolford, of Cam
bridge, Md, who represents a large
number of trust companies in that
State.
He told of what steps that had been
taken, and what it was purposed to
do. He said that there were some of
the companies which it appeared were
solvent, and that some of the others
were so situated that all the money
invested would not be lost. Other COM
panies, he said, were no good. The
was very much on the order
of the one recently held at Dover, at
which time plans were made toward
forming an organization to sue for
the money invested.
