Planning years ahead is a prime requisite of adequate railroad service. d when she learned A b It kills the germs. The heavy freight movement throughout the South has naturally increased our total revenues. We have been able to effect many economies in operation which have correspondingly increased our net income and permitted us to pay dividends to our stockholders. But traffic in the South will continue to grow. We must continue to expand our facilities in order that our service may keep pace with the demands upon it. Good earnings will make it possible to attract additional capital as needed to make necessary improvements. The business interests of the South have a definite interest in the prosperity of their largest railway system. Con- tinued good earnings by the Southern will insure the continuation of adequate transportation service to the South. Sovurt RAILWAY)| .
