RAIL LINE DECISION
AFFECTS ALL ROADS
General Contingent Fund, IN
der 'Recapture' Clause VIII
Be Employed for Aid of All

ATLANTA, April 3.-Railroad
men, and those who have heir
money invested in railroads, it was
stated in railroad circles here today
point to the recent decision of the
Supreme Court, Of the United
states sustaining the constitutional
ity Of the so-called "recapture"
clause Of the transportation act IS
marking an epoch in the determin-
alton. of the policy of governmental
regulation Of the railroads of the
country 1t was further stated
that every case so far carried to the
Supreme Court, as to the constitu-
tionality Of the act, has been up
held.
This section Of the act provides
that il the net earnings of any in
dividual railroad, under a general
level Of rates established by the III
terstate Commerce Commission to
yield as near as may be" a fair
return on railroad property in the
aggregate-the definite percentage
of return being determined by the
commission in advance amounting
to more than per cent on its prop
erty valuation, one half Of the ex-
cess over 6 per cent, should be paid
back to the government to establish
a fund to be used III the interes;
Of transportation as a whole.
The "recapture" provisions were
the corollary to the rae making
provisions of the act, for rates adj
| justed to enable the lines in light
traffic territories to survive would
necessarily produce excessive earn
ings to the smaller Iumber of car
riers in heavy traffic districts.
To meet this problem of carriers
differently situated operating IN
der the same general level Of rates,
Congress in the act provided for the
division of Of the excess earnings
of II dividual roads resulting from
a rate level fixed to adequately
sustain tn country'a transportation
system as a whole.
The general railroad contingent
fund under the decision is not to be
used for the berefit of the weaker
carriers, it is stated On the con
trary it is shown that the fund is
to be employed for the aid OF all
roads alike-both the strong and

HOW CUTOFF GAME
TO GET UNUSUAL NAME
Correspondents Recites History
of Section That Is Now Part
of Macon County
CONTRIBUTED

So many inquiries have been
made as to how our community
Cut Off received its nabe below;
are a few words of explanation con-
corning her rune
Macon and Sumter counties were
originally Lee County, the line.
somewhere about the "old camp
ground" forth of Oglethorpe-
North of the old camp groud was
Muscogee county, and Macon
county was county as far back
as 1858, when the first railroad
came to 0glethorpe.,
We were cut off from Sumter
county about the year 1870 1t came
about something like this: Two Of
our piolteer settlers, Jim M Wicker
and Woodson Tolen were juror in
Americas and their best means of
conveyance was on foot (walkilg)
it being a IA mile walk to Ameri-
Gus for these jurors, so through
them the Legislature gave the Cut
Off" formerly Sumter county land,
to Macon county, the division to be
two creeks, Camp" and Sweet wa
ter" creeks.
Camp creek was the line between
Sumter and Macon counties After
Sumter county gave us to Macon
county, sweet water creek became
the dividing line.
There is a myth concerning
"Sweet Water" creek. During the
war of 1851 and 1865 an old pic
neer settler was expecting Sherman
to march through this section of
Georgia and make his terrible raids
as he had Al other places, so this
old settler was fixing to store his
provisions when his oxen run away
AID spilled his syrup in the creek,
hence Sweet Water" Creek"-

minister wrote one of the most COM

Diseases traced 10 constipation are MANY
get permanent relief with KeIIOgg's Bran

Why does constipation breed other
diseases9 Because it floods your sys-
tenn with dangerous poisons. And the
longer you suffer, the more poisons
accumulate. That is why constipation
should be relieved at once.
Doctors recommend Kellogg Is Bran,
cooked and krumbled. They know it
brings results because it is ALL bran.
And only ALL bran can be 100 per
cent effective in relieving constipation.
ALL bran = Kellogg S. sweeps.

Destroys Health and Causes Pre-
mature Degeneration of all Vital
Organs

You are a wise man or woman If
you understand your colon and keep
it in perfect working order. Health,
happiness. vigor and long life are
the gifts which an active colon gives
you-and lazy colon takes away.
Your colon is the last five feet of
your digestive canal. 1t is your sew
erage system; your garbage can, so
to speak. Keep it clean and you are
well and happy; let it stagnate and
it will distill the poisons of decay,
fermentation (gas) and putrefac
ton into your blood, poisoning your
brain and nerves so that you are
restless, irritable and blue; poison
/ ing your heart so that you are
weak, listless and lazy; poisoning
your lungs so that your breath is
heavy or foul; poisoning your stom-
ach and digestive organs so that
you are bloated, belching and I'M
comfortable with gas pains; poison
ing your blood SO that your skin
looks yellow, sallow and unhealthy
poisoning every part and organ of
your body, through your blood,
making you look and feel old and
ugly long before your time; making
your joints and your back stiff and
rheumatic; your eyes dull and your
brain sluggish.
By the perfect law of Nature,
your colon should empty itself three
times a day-within cn hour after
eating. Does your colon work that
we'll? If not, it has lost it's tone.
What do we mean by tone? Your
colon is hollow muscle. It's walls
are made up of long muscle fibres

to do so or your grocer returns your
money.
Eat at least two tablespoonfuls
daiiy-in chronic cases, with every
meal. You viii like the wonderful
Kellogg favor-so crisp and nut-like
so different from ordinary brans,
which are most unpalatable.
Eat Kellogg s Bran, cooked and
krumbled, with milk or cream. Sprinkle
it over other cereals. Cook it with
hot cereals. And by all means try it
IN the recipes given on every package.
Kellogg's Bran, cooked and krum,
bled, made in Battle Greek, is served
IN individual packages by the leading
hotels and restaurants. Sold by all
grocers.
