NEARLY $13,OOO,OO0
IN NEW EQUIPMENT
THE CENTRAL RAILROAD HAS
SPENT VAST SUM FOR I'M
PROVEMENTS IN S YEARS.

The extent and variety of the inn
provements which must continually
be made in transportation facilities to
provide satisfactory service to the
public are outlined in an interesting
manner in a statement from L. A
Downs, president of the Central OF
Georgia Railway Company. Mr.
Downs says that during the past five
years the Central of Georgia has in
vested nearly thirteen million dollars
in road and equipment and that the
expenditures for this purpose amount
ed to four and quarter million dol
lars in 1924
Among the important IMPROVE
ments to the transportation plant OF
the Central during the past year he
lists the re-laying of ,l47 miles OF
track with heavier rail, ballasting of
81 miles of track and the renewal of
ballast on SO miles of track
The industrial prosperity of Central
of Georgia territory is indicated by
the construction of "a new industrial
tracks and in addition to this the rail-
road installed "a passing tracks and
built s miles of new line.
During the past year the Central re-
newed more than half million cross
ties, replaced many pile and timber
trest1es wit h permanent concrete
work, installed IA miles of telephone
line, put in signal bells at highway
grade crossings, strengthened eight
bridges constructed three new steel
and concrete bridges and started work
on concrete viaduct and two steel
bridges 1t also built new coach and
paint shop at Savannah and new
store and oil house at Columbus.
The year also witnessed the COM
mencement of the largest single prof.
ect of its kind ever undertaken by the
Central of Georgia-the revision of
line and grades, elimination. of grade
crossings and curves on the Birming-
ham=Golumbus line. This work will
be completed in 1925.
Mr.. Downs points out that these
increased. facilities require capital
which must be in the main borrowed,
and says that the public realizes as
never before the good results OF pol
icy that will permit the railroads to
establish sound credit so that adequate
transportation for the future may be
provided.

OLD STRUCTURE FALLS
BEFORE PROGRESS
CHEATHAM BARN IS DISMAN-
TIED TO MAKE ROOM FOR
FAMILY GARAGE.

In the march of progress one OF
Dawson's oldest structures, although
never of any great importance, is be-
ing destroyed. An humble barn, the
loss of which will not be missed by
single person and which has been
useless many years, is falling under
the blows of tools welded by work
men, who will replace the building
with another structure in the form of
a garage.
The old barn is on the C. A. Cheat
ham lot on west Sixth avenue, and if
barns could talk it no doubt could tell
many interesting stories of happen
ings in Dawson when the residence
section, numbering some dozen or
more homes, was grouped around the
Cheatham property-of social gather
ings at the Cheatham home, where the
first Christmas tree ever had in Daw-
son was made a public affair; of the
fine animals which made their home in
the tiny log structure, later enlarged
by stockade built completely around
the original building; of how tired
horses Wearled from an all-day trip OF
some twenty miles were carefully
groomed and fed before the driver re-
tired to the house to make his own
toilet and partake of refreshments. But
then barns cannot talk, and incidents
that would make valuable pages in
history will be left untold.
Progress must continue its march.
As the horses which formerly lived in
the ground floor Of the little log barn,
with a storehouse in the cellar be-
meath and a loft OF feed above
them, have long ago been discarded
for the faster method OF tract so must
the barn now go down before the on
slaught of that same progress which
will build a garage for modern ma
chimes of conveyance.
The original log structure was
found to be strong and sound as when
first built
