CARGILL SUCCEEDS IN
GETTING LOWER RATES
Central of Georgia Files Pro-
posal to Establish Waterfall
Rates for Columbus

COLUMBUS, Aug. IA water
and rail rate between this city, Mo
bile and New Orleans in connection
with the federal barge line on the
Warrior is assured, according to
advices received recently by A.
Illges, chairman Of the Transporta-
ton Committee of the Chamber Of
Commerce, from Traffic Manager j.
Ralston Cargill.
The Traffic Manager, III his COM
munication to Mr.. Illges, asserts that
the Central of Georgia Railway is
filing formal proposal with the
Southern Freight Association to
establish water and rail rates, and
further that this will approximate q
reduction of about twenty per cent
as compared with all rail rates from
New Orleans and Mobile.
The success is obtaining the joint
water and rail rates, it is pointed
out by the Traffic Manager, will
make possible the extension of the
territory from which Columbus can
economically draw food and other
products including cotton, and to or
through which the finished products
of our mills and factories may go
for final distribution and consunip-
ton"
The report of Mr.. Cargill gives
table Of the present rates to the
Electric City, as we'll as those under
the new schedule.
Columbus will be in a position, :"
the report states, "to enjoy the bene-
fits of water and rail rates made
possible by the government opera
ton of self-propelled barges, which
now make the regular schedules
from New Orleans via the Intra-
coastal canal to Mobile, Ala, then
via the Mobile, Tombigbee and War
rior rivers to rail connections az

1905 GA. TEACHERS
At SUMMER SCHOOLS.

ATLANTA, Ca, August IA
Approximately 1905 teachers Of
Georgia schools attended thirteen
summer Institutes throughout the
state for a months period, which
ended recently, which schools were
organized primarily for the pur-
pose of giving practical training to
such teachers as may be employed
in the schools for the coming year,
according to figures given out by
the Department of Education.
It was pointed out that these
institutes, although not compulsory
for the teachers to attend, would
nevertheless provide those who he'd
not had normal training or other
experience a greater preparation
for the state examination. 1t pro
vided an opportunity to any teach
er expecting to teach during the
coming year helpful knowledge, es-
towards making a higher
grade of license.
These schools were organized to
meet an emergency it was further
pointed out, and did not conflict
with any of the operation of the
regular summer schools held in diff
ferent parts of the state.
The faculty of these schools were
as far as was possible, master teach
ers, it was explained, and in each of
the grades there was at least che
primary teacher, teacher of arith-
metic, a teacher of English, and a
teacher of Geography. The state
adopted books were the text books
used. The student bodies were or
ganized into classes and taught by
the master teacher" the same sub
jects that they in turn were to la
ter on present to their classes.
Another feature of the summer
institutes were the talks and lee
lures heard by the teachers during
the course, these being somewhat
along the Chatauqua line, being
given three evenings in a week.
Aside from being instructive, these
talks were also entertaining, it was
stated.

More than $4,000 building permits
were issued in 1928, which was

keynotes of the new construction.

back from Spanish colonial times,
which have kept much of the resi-
dental part of the city from rising
