Freight Movements
Show High Record

Atlanta, Ca Four m h S
freight movement of the railroads of
the country has set a great record,
according to executives of railroads
here.
The volume of freight transported
by class 1 railroads of the United
States during the first four months
of this year, figures on which have
been received here, was the greatest
for any corresponding period on
record, it is claimed.
This freight traffic amounted to
148,O65, $4,000 net ton miles, ex-
ceeding by 188,246,000 net ton miles
or one-tenth of one per cent the best
previous record established during
the first four months of 1923. Com
pared with the corresponding period
last year the volume of freight han
died this year was an increase of 81
per cent. a&
In the Southern district, freight
traffic, measures in net ton miles,
showed an increase of 11.6 per cent
for the first four months in 1926
compared with the corresponding pc
Rod of last year.

Decorating the Eagle

Several months ago a splendid
specimen of the golden eagle, the en-
blem of American freedom and lib
erty, was caught in steel trap in
one of our Western states and is to-
day kept Gagged, to attract tourists at
a roadside hot-dog counter.
Under sign that reads, "Hear the
Eagle scream and buy Tacoma
Brew" on a great national highway,
thousands of citizens behold the in
sigma of the worlds greatest repub.
lie used, to boom the sandwich trade
and lure nickels from the travelling
public-licensed for this purpose by
state game commission.
The great bird of freedom, with
claws and beak of gold and ebony
with wings spreading seven feet from
tip to tip, is robbed of his freedom
and deprived of Gods sunlight, di
vorced from his mate and his home
in the high Cascades, to be fed or
butchers offal and stared at by diff
ferent Americans.

WAVE OF PROSPERITY
SEEN OVER SOUTH
GOVERNOR OF FEDERAL RE-
SERVE BANK OF ATLANTA
MAKES OPTIMISTIC STATE
MENT-GEORGIA CROPS WILL
BE ABUNDANT.

Atlanta, Ga.-Conservative bust
ness men in Atlanta and throughout
the South see great prosperity at
hand, if one may judge by reports
received here from various sources.
Hon. NJ B. Wellborn, governor OF
the Federal Reserve Bank of At
lanta, who probably is as we'll in
formed as any man in the South, GER
tainly better informed than many,
says everything points to very
prosperous year in the South this
year.
Mr.. Wellborn is not easily misled
by appearances about business condl-
tions. He is conservative and seldom
makes predictions for the future.
When he does make one he is very
sure of his ground. His statement
therefore may be accepted as that of
man who knows.
Mr.. Wellborn's optimistic state
ment is similar to statements made
by Southern business men generally
during the present month. The con-
census of opinion among leaders of
finance, business and industry, not
only in the South, but over the coun-
try generally, is that the Southern
states are enjoying now an era of
bus ness expansion, industrial
growth and financial stability such as
they never have known before, and
that all signs point to extraordinary
prosperity throughout the South dur
ing the remainder of this year and
| in the year to come.
Reports from all sections of Geor-
gia tell of promising crop conditions
and of substantial business growth.
| This state seems to be leading the
South in its development and, accord
ing to business men here, should lead
the South in it's prosperity. Industry
is more active in Georgia and neigh
boring states than is usually the case
at this time of the year and the
promise is for unusual activity in in
dustry during the next six months.
Farming conditions in Georgia, ac-
cording to reports received by the
Georgia Department of Agriculture,
are far better than usual at this time
of year, and the promise in this state
is for good yields for all crops. Bust
ness conditions are also good, not
only in Atlanta, but in all the towns
of the state.
All told, as Mr.. Wellborn points
out, there is every reason for conf
dence, every reason for optimism and
no reason at all for doubt or pessi
mism.

CAPT. CHAS. G. PAYNE
BACK AT RIVERSIDE
PROMINENT MILITARY INSTRUC-
TOR ACCEPTS SECRETARY
SHIP OF RIVERSIDE ACADEMY
AT GAINESVILLE, CA.

Atlanta, Ga.-Captain Charles G.
Payne, formerly dean of the Georgia
Military Academy of College Park,
Ca, has accepted the position of Sec
rotary and registrar of Riverside Mil
itary Academy at Gainesville, Ca,
according to announcement made
here today by Colonel Sandy Beaver,
president of Riverside Academy.
Captain Payne IS widely known as
an educator and reserve officer. He
was connected with Riverside Acade-
my four years ago when that institu-
ton first won the Honor School desig-
nation of the U. S. War Department.
The school recently was designated
as an Honor School for the fourth
consecutive year by the war depart
ment, this record being unequalled by
any other military school in the
country. Captain Payne is grad
uate of Mercer University at Macon,
Ca, a University of Georgia post
graduate student of Columbia Uni
versity in New York, and of the
university de Lyon and the Sor-
bonnie, Paris, France. He is spend
ing few days in Atlanta before 60
ing to Cuba in the interest of River
side Academy.
The Gainesville school, according
to President Beaver, broke all records
for attendance during the past sea-
son, there being nearly five hundred
cadets on hand, representing thirty.
eight states and seven foreign coun-
tries. Applications already received
for the fall session indicate larger
enrolment than last session, he said

BETTER HOME LIFE
CURE FOR MAYNARD
YOUTHFUL DELINQUENCY MAY
BE LARGELY PREVENTED BY
PARENTAL CONTROL, SAYS
CHILD WELFARE WORKER.

Atlanta, Ga.-Parental control
better home life-is the crying need
of the hour, in the opinion of Rev.
Crawford Jackson, secretary of the
Juvenile Protective Association,
whose organization seeks to protect
hayward boys and girls.
Mr.. Jackson does not hesitate to
say that too much laxity in homes of
the modern day is responsible for
much of the waywardness of the
youth of the South, as well as the
rest of the country.
In cases where girls and boys are
denied proper influences and en-
vironments of home life, through the
death of their parents or otherwise,
Mr.. jackson shows that child welfare
organizations and others interested
in the upbuilding of youth should
step in and take the part of parents
or good brothers and sisters. The
Juvenile association, of which Mr..
Jackson is secretary, has been largely
instrumental in establishing juvenile
courts and probation systems in the
South, and these agencies, it is stated
have done much towards putting way
ward youth on the right track. The
association has always opposed the
incarceration of delinquents and first
offenders with criminals in the gen.
eral run of jails and other prisons
, He believes that the average youth.
full offender should be "given an
other chance" The probation sys-
TENS, he says, have well demonstrated
their usefulness, in that many first
offenders have become respected citi-
zens after their probation.

Modest Author Fails
To Give His Name

of the Leader of June Bird caused the
story, "Jim's Chance" to be run with
