BUSINESS In SOUTH

RIOUS RAILWAYS is INDEX
TO PROSPERITY.

Atlanta, Ga.-Here's a safe index
to prosperity:
Increased commercial statistics and
increased receipts of the various rail-
roads traversing the southern states
is a safe index on which to base an
estimate of sound and stable condi-
tions. Of the seven important rail-
road systems of the South, each line
showed a wonderful increase of bust
ness for the first four months of this
year over that of the same period
last year. This growth is an abso-
Lutte certainty of the increase in all
lines of commerce and industry, it
was pointed out here today by bust
ness men and manufacturers.
The entire Southeastern section of
this section has shown a wonderful
development during the present year,
business experts. here show. In
creases of remarkable character
have taken place and the country is
on a sounder and firmer basis than
it has ever been, it was claimed.
There is no room for doubt about i'm
proved conditions, they assert. 1t is
not an inflated boom of temporary
character, it was pointed out, but a
substantial growth brought on by the
development of the resources OF this
section which are unlimited.
Such an outlook should bring en-.
couragement to the section and en-
thuse all lines of business, Atlanta
business men say. The banker mer'
chant and farmer has never faced q
more favorable outlook for this fall
than they have before them at this
time, in the opinion of business OBJ
servers.
Agriculturists point to the fact
that crops are out of danger. They
show that the boil weevil, the cotton
hopper and the army worm can be
controlled successfully, provided the
proper care and attention is given tc
the cotton and the corn crops. 1t is
now, they state, only question Of
carrying on the work of maturity ane

High Court Decides
Slaughter House Case

Atlanta, Ga.-The Atlanta city Or
dinance requiring every licensed
slaughter house to slaughter for the
public without discrimination, was
upheld by the Georgia Supreme
Court here in affirmation of a de-
cision by the Georgia court OF ap-
peals, reversing the Atlanta city
court. The case was that of Schoen
Brothers, Incorporated, against }, T.
Plyant.
The opinion of the supreme court,
written by Justice Marcus W. Beck,
declared that the opinion of the
Court of Appeals, written by Judge
Alex W. Stephens, sis correct and
stated sound and established doc
trines, giving strong reasons and nu-
merous decisions to uphold it." The
opinion by Judge Stephens was
adopted as the ruling of the Supreme
Court without elaboration.

Says Hardeman Favors Bonds

(F'rOm the TOccOa Rec0rdJ
In an address which he delivered
in Gainesville this week, DR.. L. G.
Hardman, candidate for governor,
stated that he advocated a bond issue
that will take care of rural roads
leading to rural schools, churches and
courthouses and build centralized
school buildings and state highways
in every county in the state. He
thought that the issue should be a
more reasonable amount than $70,-
100000.

The State of Georgia is due John

defeating the proposed bond issue at
the last session of the legislature.
Mr.. Holder went into the defeat of
this measure wit hall the energy he
possesses, not because it was a per-
sonal matter, nor because he would
be affected any more than the other
taxpayers of the state, but because
he had studied the matter and sifted
it from every angle, and he knew
that, it would be a great burden
heaped upon the taxpayers OF the

Fear He will Make Good

(From the Moultrie Observer)
While few political agitators are
calling on John Holder to resign as
chairman of the highway board he is
going about over the state letting new
contracts for paving, for bridges and
for general road Improvement. Hol-
der is running for governor with one
hand and proving to the calamity
howlers of the state with the other
that we have sufficient income now
to enable us to build roads and pay
for them as we go. Maybe those who
are shouting requests to him to re-
sign fear that he is going to make out
too good a case for the pay-as-you-
go crowd.

So, buIying his staunch friend in

with defeat, for his hope of aiding the

already deserted. On blazed birch

her with her arms.
