seems, Mr.. Johnson is willing to
call it "quits" even steven, and

In the house, the complaint
comes from the so-called major

played with the anti-crowd, divid-

vote. Whereupon, some of the an

records. Moreover, most of the
youngsters are likely looking leg
isIators, giving promise of high
grade leadership in the house for
many years. Speaker Knapp and
ex-speaker Danskin, each 81 years
old, are typical of the young men,
and, it must be admitted, both
Mr.. Knapp and Mr.. Danskin have
been splendid legislators. So many
young members, especially the
number of native sons, should be
pleasing to state pride.

FAST FREIGHTS is
BIG MONEY SAVER

Railroad records, now being COM
piled by various railroads touching
Atlanta and the Southeast, give new
light on the "hand to mouth buying"
which has become so common.
Merchants, it is shown, are simply
taking advantage of the remarkable
improvement in railroad efficiency
and availing themselves of prompt,
dependable deliveries to keep down
their inventories and thus reduce
their carrying charges. Lumber deal
ers have taken advantage of the saw
ing in transit and have reduced their
stocks to meet immediate needs.
Instead of enormous inventories
being required, as was the case few
years ago, the railroads are making
it possible for raw materials and
products to flow in and out of fac
tories with clock-like regularity and
are kept odwn to a point
that five years ago would have been
thought impossible.
The practical effect of speeding up
freight movement on the railroads is
to enable the market to get along
with less stock and less investment
all along the line, thereby reducing
interest and storage expense. This
means a saving of large sums to in
dustry and commerce.
Everybody benefits from the more
rapid turnoved, including the con-
said H. S. Keallhofer, gener-
al freight agent of the A. B. & A.
railway. at is new surprising
proof of the economic benefits result
ing from improved transportation"

nine MONTHS RECORD
OF GRAHAM BROTHERS

Sales Of Graham Brothers trucks
and motor coaches during the first
nine months of 1925 were 78.4 per
cent greater than the record for the
first nine months of 1926 remark
able record that tells convincing
story of public preference. Total
sales for the first nine months were
20, 1886 units.
From the very beginning, sales Of
Graham Brothers trucks and motor
coaches have shown steady increases,
always far greater than those of the
industry. A total of 1886 units in
1921 marked their initial sale. Sales
in 1922 of 3401 units was an increase
of 213 per cent over the first year,
while a total of 6971 units in 1928
was an increase Of los per cent over
the previous year. Sales in 1924 of
1871 showed another gain of SIS
per cent over the year before while
in 1925 this record was again shat
tered with total sale of "a, 056 units,
an increase of 1913 percent over 1924.

BUILDING PERMITS HALF
MILLION IN WAYCROSS

Waycross, Ga.-During 1926 Way
cross spent more than a half million
dollars in new construction, the exact
amount being $549, 10000.
This was apportioned during the
months as follows: January, $751;
IT'S; February, s2s,s2o; March 1885,
265; April, $5O,7O5; May s5S,110;
August $11, 1O5; September, $28,220;
October $780, $40; November, $4,000;
December, $18,625.
March proved the best construction
month in the year and October the
second best. August was the poorest
with total of 81, Jos.
Past Records
The total amount for construction
during 1925 was s351,637. The con-
struction total for 1926 exceeded that
for 1925 by $197,543, or more than
half the 1925 total.
The comparison in new buildings
is equally favorable. In 1925 Way
cross constructed sixty-four new
buildings. In 1926 Waycross con-
structed two hundred sixty new build
ings. This means that in 1926 Way
cross more than quadrupled its 1925
record.
This increase in the the number Of
new buildings and in the money in
vested in new construction represents
very largely an increase in home ow-
nership, those renting being the
builders of their own homes.

COME time ago I wrote an article
" about book in which a, man who
had lost his hearing told of the
strange, silent world which the deaf
inhabit.
Among the letters received relative
to it was one from a woman in Brook
Ign, New York, part of which is quot
ed below:
"Due to an operation my ear
drums were broken. To lose ones
hearing in adult life requires a great
inward adjustment. In fact the
struggle is so hard at times that one
loses faith in everything.
"Yet to shout from the house tops
is of no avail. Self pity makes it
even more discouraging, as to con-
centrate upon self is just walking fur
Their into the channel of stiffness.
Therefore, there seems but one way
to choose-to try to get away from
self, if that is humanity possible"
There are thousands of brave, he
roic people like this woman who are
carrying on, trying to make the best
of a life twisted askew by misfor-
tune. They raise the sum total of
human heroism in the world.
For when sickness, affection or
sudden handicaps tumble the dreams
of lifetime about a persons prime,
lust to make the best of life is in it
self to be heroic.

HUGE REPTILE REPORTED IN
CREEK SWAMP

Moultrie, Ga. A small snake
which escaped from travelling cir
Gus about twenty years ago and which
has grown into reptile about twenty
feet long and as large around as the
average stove pipe, is making its home
in the swamps of Warrior creek,
about seventeen miles northeast of
Moultrie, if story told by "Buck"
Bishop can be accepted as fact.
Bishop was fishing on warm day
recently when the enormous reptile
crawled rapidly by him, he says. He
was so frightened that it was several
minutes before he could regain his
composure sufficiently to call to his
companion, Steve Thompson, who was
fishing some distance down the
stream and tell him what he had
seen.
The two men with their hair fig
uratively standing on end, their knees
quaking for fear that they would
actually be able to track the huge
reptile to it's hiding place, began a
search for it, but without success,
although they found where it had
torn it's way through the thick I'M
derbrush. The trail was finally lost
near lagoon and the fishermen said
they made no heroic effort to pick it
up again.
While lot of the hardy fishermen
and hunters around Moultrie frank
ly doubt the story, an "old timer"
recalled that young boa constructor
escaped from circus in this section
about twenty years ago and admitted
that it was remotely possible that the
immense reptile Bishop claims came
SO terrifyingly near him might have
been the came snake, now fully
grown.

A Religious Nation
A recent religious census of the
nation has been taken with the help
of the newspapers. It shows that in
1900 the Protestant church members
numbered seven per cent of the pop
ulation; in 1850, fifteen percent; in
1870, seventeen per cent; in 1880,
twenty percent; in 1900 twenty four
percent; in 1910 twenty four perez
cent; in 1925, approximately twenty
six percent. Statistics for the Roman
Catholic, Greek Catholic and Jewish
churches are not so definite, but they
indicate that the total church men,
bership in the United States numbers
about forty three percent of the en-
tire population. Counting out the
children who are below the age of
church membership the churches ac-
tually contain about fifty one per-
cent of the available population in
their membership.

COTTON MILL TO RESUME

Announcement has been made this
week by Mr.. f. B. Watson, manager
of the local cotton mill that the mill
will resume operation on January
3rd, and will run on full time. The
mill was closed down few months
ago due to an over supply of manu-
featured goods on hand. Mr.. Watson
states that he is hopeful that the mill
will continue operation indefinitely
now.
The mill, when in full operation,
carries large force of employees and
the pay roll is of considerable size all
of which adds to the business inter-
est of the local community. Citizens
AZ n whole should give this enterprise
their loyal support and cooperation

DrFrank Crane Says( ~
You Can't Get Away From Yourself
way From Yourself

There are times to such people
when getting away from themselves
is a necessary part of life.
How to do it in the right way is the
problem.
The other day I called upon a
young man who had been sick in bed
for two years. Lying on his back,
unable to hold a book, he got away
from himself by having map hung
on a string over the bed.
He memorized the names of the
states and the countries and their
position in relation to each other, and
made trips in his Imagination.
He also had lists hung on the string
and had learned all of the American
presidents in order, and said he soon
would be the only man in the world
who could name all of the vice-presi-
dents.
He had discovered one of the best
ways of answering the problem of
how to get away from yourself.
Methods which enrich your mental
and spiritual resources, and those
in which the activity benefits others,
are most effective.
For in losing yourself in self-bet-
terment or in social service and kin
dred activities you not only occupy
your mind, but also reap the feeling
of doing something worth while with
your life.
