ABIDE BY RULING
ON A4&A, SYSTEM
So fight will be made by the Atlanta.
Birmingham and Atlantic on the re
cent freight rate reduction on Its lines
by the Georgia railroad commission.
It has been Intimated that the road
might seek an Injunction against the

Birmingham and Atlantic to abide the
rulings of the commission, and then It
the same should be unjust to show It to
the commission by the facts. In other
words fighting by Injunction and long,
tedious court prodess Is not to be
part of Its policy.

ing placed behind the bars of a Tower
cell on the charge of larceny.
Notwithstanding the superstition
and fear of negroes generally in regard
to the dead, Tom la said to have ban
ished all such fear from hla system
when he sighted a handsome ring on
the finger of a corpse that reposed In a
coffin In the undertaking establishment
of David T. Howard. Tom Is an em
ployee In the undertaking establish
ment, and this fact probably accounts
for his lack of auperatltlon. At any
rate, Tom Is charged with coolly
awlping the ring from the clammy fin
ger of the- dead.
According to the evidence, the ring
disappeared twice, being found the first
time. It Is said. In possession of Bai
ley. He (s said to have replaced the
ring and the matter waa dropped.

again vanlehed and since then no
trace of It has been found. Tom de
nies he took the ring the second time.
The recorder decided he would give the
negro a chance to explain matters t
a jury, however. In the meantime th
corpse has been burled minus a ling.

SOUND ADVICE TO
Says Bad Record Is Dis
grace to All American
Negroes.
Baltimore, Md., May 31.—Lincoln
Post, G. A. It., composed entirely of
negroea, was addressed last evening by
Attorney General Bonaparte. The only
other white man In the hall was C. P.
Manning, one of Mr.* Bonaparte’s law
partners.
The attorney general was Introduced
by Adjutant General Wilson, of the
post, as a true friend of the colored
people. After paying a warm tribute
to the colored soldiers, the attorney
general made thla Incidental reference
to the Brownsville Incident, saying;
'Let me say here now, a colored sol
dier who makes a bad record as a
soldier Is a danger as well as a dis
grace to all colored Americans, but It
no less true that a colored voter
who sells his vote and the colored citi
zen guilty of a crime, or sunk In lazi
ness or vice. Is also a danger as well
as a disgrace to his race.
"America has no more room for loaf
ers and lawbreakers than It has for
cowards or mutineers. American cltl-
sens must know how to work hard In
peace and to fight In war; to obey the
awa they help to make and to defend
the country they help to rule, and If
any class of men cannot, or will not,
do these things, they have no rightful
place among American citizens."

GEORGIA MILL BUYS
COTTONJNENGLANO
Like Carrying Coals to New
castle, But It Is
Necessary.
For the first time In cotton mill his
tory In Georgia, « Georgia mill has just
ordered 600 bales of cotton from Liver
pool. and In order to get It has willing
ly paid the transportation and other
charges, which Increase the price of
the staple about 1 8-4 cents a pound.
Never before has such a thing been
known to Atlanta cotton experts and
they declare that this shows better
thsn anything else the scarcity of
splnnable cotton unagld In the United
States.
The order for thla cotton was placed
through Inman, Akers & Inman, and
not a member of this firm knows of
another Instance where a cotton mill
was ever compelled to buy cotton In ,
Liverpool to spin because cotton of
that class could not bo secured In thla
country.
It Is pointed out that In the past cot
ton has been shipped from Liverpool to
New York and New Orleans, when j
there was a corner, but this was cnly -
done for speculative purposes, and w as .
| not a case where a mill was compelled
to go abroad to secure cotton of tho
proper grade to spin.
That such a thing Ir possible and yet ,
profitable Is shown by,tho fact that dry
goods are selling at high prices, uml
even by having to pay a cent and three- I
quarters more per pound thero Is still -
enough margin to moke It profitable.
