“THERE'S A REASON."
RAILROADS MUST
RETURN OVERCHARI
ON LUMBER RATES
Decision in U. S. Court
Means Much to Geor
gia Shippers. '
After a struggle In the United States
courts for over four yearn, the Georgia
saw-mill men. through H. H. Tift et aL,
have won a sweeping victory over the
Southern and other railroads In the
Southeastern Freight Association, and
as a result these railroads will bs com
pelled to disgorge an amount between i
half million and a million dollars col
[ci ted In excessive freight talon.
The decision gaining thl* victory was
handed down by the United; States
prams court on Monday ahd ended liti
gation which commenced before Judge
Speer in Macon in the spring of 1442.
The decision uphold* thn interstate
commerce commission. In declaring
additional freight rate of 2 cents a ht
trad pounds on lumber to points north
of the Ohio river unreasonable end un
lust, and It Is ordered dlecontlnued.
As soon as the mandats of the United
Slates supreme court Is made the Judg
ment' of Judge Speer's court, the d*
-Islon will go Into effect, and after tha.
Ime the old rate, with the additional
I centa removed, will go into effect.
Long, Hard Fight.
This Halit for Tift et at. was-made by
'. A. Wlmbtsh, of Ellis, Wlmblsh
mils, and <lt Is now up to this firm to
•ollect the amount Involved In tha
iver-charge since the litigation ha*
tegn gdlng on. This requires another
iroceedlng, but those Arms who were
itrtles to suit are fully secured by the
tend of 2604.004 which Judge Speer
ompelled the railroads to furnish when
hey appealed the case from his de-
lalon to the circuit court of appeals at
view Orleans. Later this court sua-
uined Judge Speer and the bond was
nrreased *10.004. Then, on Monday,
Ilia 1"-' nil-mini In the Wind upheld
he previous decisions.
’'he- the railroads. In fhe spring of
1403. gave notice' of tho ndvance In
rates on lumber to Ohio river points,
the Georgia Saw-61111 Men's Associa
tion, through H. H. Tift et al.. secured a
temporary restraining order from Judge
Speer. When the cose was heard and
the demurrers of the railroads were
overruled, Judge Speer suggested that
the complainants apply to the Inter-
.aie commerce commission to report
n'the case. The temporary restrain-
ng order was dissolved so that the
hreatened rate would go Into effect,
ind the cose wes taken to the Inter-
late commerce commission after the
ate did go Into effect.
This commission heard evidence and
Inally reported that the rate was un-
ust and unreasonable and that the
Southeastern Freight Association,
hrough which the advanco was made,
vas rtn Illegal combination In restraint
t trade.
' Judge Speer’s Decision.
Judge Speer, upon application,' than
stifled the findings of the commission
nd sustained the contentions of the
umbermsn. Then tho appeals were
ommenced by the railroad and contln
led until they were turned down by the
;nlted States supreme court.
The decision means that other turn
termen who were not a party to the
■ult will receive the benefit of the de-
-Islon and will have ground for tnstl-
utlng proceedings to recover any
imount they have flsld In excess of tbs
-ale which was In effect before the ad
vance.
Attorney Wlmblsh now has In hand
claims from lumbermen for collection
and this amount of money Is believed
to be even larger than tho bond Judge
required the railroads to give,
ible, however, is anticipated In
collecting this amount.
THEATERS

The Casino at Pones' DeLeon.
Little. Chip anf! Mary Marble are
here again.
They are Juat the same. If anything,
Little Chip is a little llttler and a chip
or so chipper. Mary Marble la the
salne winsome comedienne of former
days, and there Is more of her now.
Old friendships were renewed and
new onsa gained when the clever co-
stars made their bow In the farce
comedy, "Nancy Hanks,” at the Casino
Monday night. The popular theater
was taxed to Its seating capacity.
The Casino, as everybody knows. Is
summer theater. Nobody could have
foretold the chilly siege by wintry
weather Monday night, and nobody but
the weather man Is to blame that
bodies shivered, knees shook and the
merry rattling of teeth mingled with
the strains of tho orchestra.
The fact that the large audience eat
through this to the end of the per.
formance. and applauded freely, Is, in
Itself, a high tribute to the attraction.
The cast Is an unusually good one.
