Free Government!
Only a week people needs a dictator-Democracy is the ideal of the
strong.
April 19th, 1775. our forefathers began a fight to give us a govern
ment free from dictatorship. They fought that the government of the
United States might be fer the people and by the people, yet as
Josephus Daniels said recently it is not for the people and by the peo
ple but rather it is for the big interest by the big interest.
The American people as a whole are a strong people yet they are
ruled by dictators. Big interest has swallowed up the little interest
Only now we read every day about the lobbyists who stay in our cen
tral government and have bills passed that will benefit the big interest
at the expense of the individual. This is of course not supposed to be,
but it is and our government is supposed to be trying to break it up.
Not only is this true of our central government, but it is true of our
State government. Only last year lobbyist virtually over ran our
State capitol at Raleigh. As a result of their efforts and money,
many things were done and many were not done that would help the
capitalists at the expense of the poor.
FRIDAY. MARCH 7. 1930
Who is to blame for these tilings occuring? No one but the masses
who send weak men to represent them in their government. Every
man or woman who contemplates casting a vote in the future should
give his vote far more thought than he has in the past. Only about
15 per cent of the people who vote are consciencious in their vote.
They don't know why they are voting as they are except that some
one has talked them into voting that way or used some means of get
ting their vote. This is not only true of the people but it is true of
our legislators and senators. They will exchange a vote with each
other. One will agree to support anothers bill if he will support his
bill.
These conditions have existed since the beginning of our nation, and
instead of getting better they are getting worse. It is time for the
American people to wake up to their duty to themselves They are
asleep and while they are sleeping a few who are awake are getting
rich at their expense, America offers free and equal rights to all and
special priviledges to none. It is high time that our people take ad
vantage of these rights.

Mr. C. F. Redlieh, the successful
expert says:
The “Perfect Retention Shields”
hold the rupture perfectly, no mat
er what position the body assumes
or how heavy a weight you lift. They
give instant relief, contract the open
ing in a remarkably short time and
strengthen the weak tissues (the real
cause of rupture) so that they fre
quently recover tneir previous
natural retaining power, needing no
further outside support. Stomach
trouble, backache and constipation
often caused by Rupture promptly
disappear.
Truly remarkable and prompt re
sults have been obtained not only
with recent and not fully developed
ruptures but also with old, long ne
glected ones.
Ingenious, recently perfected de
vices are now holding ruptures fir
mly which heretofore never had
been retained.
No elastic belts nor filthy leg
straps are used.
1 guarantee the durability of my
absolutely sweat a n d moisture
proof, sanitary appliances.
75% of ruptured children recover
completely through expert mechani
cal treatment according to statistics

THE Petersburg Railroad, organized 100 years
ago, was conceived by the people of Peters
burg, Virginia, as a means of increasing their
trade. It was built with funds subscribed by the
citizens and the city of Petersburg, and by the
State of Virginia. Its officers and employees were
men who lived in Petersburg or the sections
along the railroad.
Much the same is true of the other railroads
that were later brought together in the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad Company.
By far the larger number were built by local
initiative, mostly with local capital, to supply
local transportation needs. Their officers were
men prominent in local affairs and their em
ployees were drawn from the pick of the sub
stantial people living along their rails.
Practically everybody in the sections they
served had a direct personal interest in these
railroads because they were owned and run by
people whom they knew.
Railroad officers not only knew every em
ployee by his first name but knew something
about each man’s family. Every employee knew
all the officers.
Common interest in their work, a common
pride in overcoming obstacles and making a
good showing for the Company, bound officers
and other employees together.
With the growth of the Atlantic Coast Line,
men who demonstrated their ability advanced to
more responsible jobs, until in turn many
them became officers. Each brought with him
that intimate knowledge of the work so csstn.ial
to successful railroad operation. Each was imbued
with that loyalty to the common cause that has
made the "Coast Line Family” a reality.
The ever lengthening rails of the Atlantic
Coast Line now make impossible the constant
contact between all officers and all employees,
but the "family” tradition persists as strongly
as it ever did and is the Coast Line’s most
valuable asset.
Scores of Coast Line employees have never
worked for any other employer. Some families
have given three generations of valued workers
to the Coast Line organization.
Thirty-four Coast Line employees have
worked for the Company or its predecessors
for 50 years, 1384 have served it 25 years
or longer.
Officers and employees—the men who run the
Coast Line today—are for the most part from the
sections served by Coast Line rails. They know
the country and the people; they know the trans
portation needs of every industry. Many of them
own farms or are partners in various enterprises.
All have a personal interest in the advancement
and growth of the Southeast.
They and the Atlantic Coast Line are part and
parcel of the Southeast; of one blood with the
people that they serve.
And as long as the Atlantic Coast Line can
attract to its ranks the same type of workers
it has been fortunate in having in the past it is
confident of its ability to render an increasingly
valuable service to the people and the industries
of the Southeast.
