RAILROADS PROSPERING.
Show a Healthy Increase In Earnings
In Geergla at Well aa la North

Despite the panic, -ailroads made
Money in Georgia as well aa in North
Carolina' The net earnings of the
fouf largest railroads in Georgia
how a healthy increase during the
period of depression. U. S. Judge
Speer has sent on order enjoining
the railroads from increasing their
freight rates in Georgia.
The four largest railroads ia
Georgia have become richer by put
tine down wa?es of their emnlores.
using the financial depression of last
fall and winter as an excuse. It de
velops that the n?t earnings of the
Southern Railwaj, the Central of
Georgia Kailroau, the Ueorgia Kail
road and Banking Company and the
Western and Atlant'c, show substan
tial increases over the net earnings
for the corresponding periods of the
previous year.
And the net increases are shown,
despite the alleged drastic anti-railroad
legislation and passenger rate
reductions. The additional wealth
has been accumulited during the
yery time the railroads themselves
have been howling calamity, and
telling the people that good govern,
meut ami fair play were about to
visit wreck and rui'i upon all their
properties.
The additional wealth has been ac
cumulated by the railroads while
they have been crying "hard times"
to cut the salaries of their salaried
men and to triug poverty to the
door of their employes by reducing
wages.
i'ause Little Surprise.
The people of Georgia are gratifi
ed because the true facts should have
an important bearing upon the pres
ent move of railroads to increase the
inter-state rates on b:ead stuffs, etc.
The net earnings of the railroads, it
is argued, furnish substantial reas
ons why the proposed increases are
not justified, aud it is believed they
will have much to do with prevent
ing the extortion.
(alniu Xet l.arulus.
The net earuingsof the Southern
railway f?r the month of April 1908
show an increase of $339,000 over
the net earnings for the correspond
ing month of 1907.
The net earnings of the Southern
for the mouth of May, this year, as
compared with the same month of
the previous year, show an inscrease
of $90,000.
The Georgia railroad, the old re
Hable Georgia railroad, whose passeng
er rates were reduced to 2 1-3 cents
per mile, netted a substantial in
crease for the months of January,
Februury, March and April of 1908,
as compared with the same four
months of 1907. To be more exact,
the Did Reliable Georgia, during
this period, earned $7,750 more.
Aud the Western and Atlantic
railroad, the state property, operated
by the Nashville, Chattanooga aud
St. Louis railroad, a Milton Smith
property, earned for the period ex
tending" from July, 1907, to May
1908, inclusive, $41,432.45 more
than for the same period of the pre.
yious year. The Western and At
lantic is a 3-cent road- in the two
cent passeug.T class.
Little wonder that Western and
Atlantic abandoned a proposed cut
in its employes' salaries rather than
make a detailed showing of its earn
ings to the railroad commission.
The Central railroad, onepf the
leaders of the calamity chorus, net
ted $55,180.15 more for the year
eoverel by the panic than for the
previous year.
Have a Care tor the Heast of Burden.
Nothing ii more important to
farmers aud wagoners during this
season of hot weather than the prop
er care or their team. It is an easy
matter to over-drive or over-work a
horse now. Teams should hare
plenty of water and should not be
left to stand in the sun. They are
better moving along at work than
standing still in the blisteribg sun.
All horses and mules that work
hard through days like these,
whether to plow, wagon or buggy,
should have water after supper.
One who has not tried it will be
surprised to see how, much water a
horse will drink at night after
he has finished his supper. The
ideal plan is to let horses and mules
have access to water all through the
night, but where that is not practi
cable they ouh" ti te led to water
about 9 o'clock. It takes only a
short while to do it, and the time is
well paid for in the comfort of the
animals. Scotland Neck Common
