LEO FRESH, Auctioneer. DECEPTION BY JOURNAL, CHARGES JOSEPH BROWN Office of Railroad Commission of Georgia.—To the People of Georgia; I have shown that The Atlanta Journal, In Its attempts to weaken the railroad commission of Georgia, created a mar ble quarry at Blue Ridge, Ga., forty- one miles north of the real quarries, and published from It to Savannah, Brunswick and several points on the Atlantic Coast Line railroad rates which It Is said were "fixed by the Georgia railroad commission,” but which were from 4 to 6 cents per 100 pounds higher than would have been this commission's rates If such ai quar ry were there. Not content, however, with saying that the railroad commission fixed cer tain high rates from a fictitious quarry, The Atlanta Journal also published fame fictitious rates on marble from the real quarries at Tate. Ga., and styled them "rates fixed by the railroad commission of Georgia.” I give below The Atlanta Journal's rates and the railroad commission's rates; Atlanta Journal's R. R. C.'s Rates. Rates.

The Atlanta Journal charged that Ver mont marble was being shipped to each of the points at less rates than the railroad commission of Oeorgla per mitted the railroads In qeorgla to charge from the quarries In Georgia to the same points. But the publication of the true rates shows that the rates from even Burlington, Vt„ are higher m every Georgia point The Journal named save to the two coast cities end in Waycross, which haa a short l'»»l rate from Brunswick. Brought as Ballast. Now, Burlington Is on Lake cham- l’lain, and a schooner, coming from Hint point to Brunswick, Ga., lor cross- ’ic' for the Rutland railway, can be loaded with marble for ballast at the "harr in Burlington and ran unload It ei the wharf In Brunswick. The At lanta Journal, therefore, ‘opens Are U|iin the railroad commission of Geor gia because It "permits" the rates over 33'i miles of railroad to be a» high as ihe all-water ballast rata fixed by a schooner from a Vermont lake port to Brunswick. The excuse, of course, Is 'hut the rate being fixed by the all- "ater route from Burlington, the rail 1 ■ml water lines compete for the busl- gM of the Burlington group, the "because It 'permits' Vermont marble to Invade the sacred aoll of Georgia!" It Is true that this unholy Yankee product only touches our coast cities nnd slips out to one ascertained local point near Brunswick, but “Georgians, cast out your recreant sons who 'per mit' this lodgment of the foe on even our borders!" But, let us look through the other end of the telescope. What is that which looms up like a black cloud, threatening calamity to Georgia? It Is the "port rate!" But, why docs that oft-preached panacea for all of Geor gia's woes now. like the hoar-frost, blight every flower In Georgia's marble halls? Let us dismiss levity and look at the facta. For a year Hon. Hoke Smith and The Atlanta. Journal have relent lessly condemned the railroad commis sion of Georgia because of Its denial of their "port rate" petition. Original ly professedly Died for Atlanta's bene fit, they now admit that If granted, relative figures must have been extend ed to other Georgia cltlos. It was In tended to cover every Item (about 3,- 300) In fourteen classes of freight. The people (first) of Atlanta and (after wards) of Georgia, were to be allowed to receive almost all the products of outside fields and factories on cheap "port rates.” Among these products was Vermont Special to The Georgian. McRae, Ga., June 14.—M the called meeting of the directors of the Cltlsens' Bank held here yesterday peculiar dr cumstances were developed In the re. cent conduct of Cashier Olln Pharr. After carefully going over the books, accounts and cash on hsnd, all were found In an excellent condition, and all thought of hta guilt of appropriating the funds has been dispelled, and the bank officials and cltlsens still ex press their great confidence In his In nocence. The 34,000 shortage mentioned In yes terday's Georgian resulted from his having cashed several worthless checks and drafts, several of them dating back some time ago, and among which was one drawn on some Eastern firm for 31,800, which he had failed to charge to the loss of the bank. This shortage was promptly filled by the directors and there will be no pros ecutions to follow; In fact, several of the bank officers nnd cltlsens express themselves as not only willing, but anxious for his return to hla family, and are willing to employ him again. So thoroughly convinced of hie In nocence are several of the citizens that they are willing to make up the short nge, and Jt has been offered from aev eral sources, could he be Induced to return. His leaving everything In such shape and a vault full of money shows con ctuslvely that he had no criminal In tent. THE JUNE BRIDES It s a well-known fact that people will get married in June.

The sixth class rate they de manded from "the ports" to Atlanta waa 15 cents per 100 pounds. Hence the rate they excoriate the railroad commission for not naming from, say. Savannah to Atlanta on Vermont mar ble In less than car loada was 10.cents per 100 pounds. And, If we had havA yielded to their demand and named this rate to Atlanta, wp must have named the same rate (10 cents) from Savannah to Athens, Albany, Americus, Columbus, Mllledgevtlle ami Hawklnsvllle. And wa, must have named 12 cents "to Rome, and, possi bly, even lower than 3 cents to Macon, and 8 cents to Augusta. "Port Rates." These "port rates" would have ruin ed the Oeorgla marble shippers If we had not co-ordinately have reduced their rates from Tate, etc., by as many cents as we reduced the Savannah rates on the Vermont marble. But to do this we would have had to take 12 cents per 100 pounds off of the rate from Tate to Atlanta, for Instance. But the rate from Tate to Atlanta la only 12 cents. Therefore, If we had not forced the rallroade to haul Georgia marble free from Tate to Atlanta, we would have struck Its shippers a dis astrous blow by acceding to the de mand for "port rates" made by Hon. Hoke Smith and The Atlanta Journal. Let me say here that two-thirds of sixth class rate from Brunswick to FLOUR MADE FROM FRUIT IS WANTED IN MEXICO, By Private Leased Wire.

O. BOX 266. The Atlanta Journal some ought to reduce that by taking off the S Brcentage allowed the Atlantic Coast Ine railroad. Let ua .utppose that the courts, which have enjoined the lesser reduction ordered by tue commission, would let us meet The Journal's de mand and take off 20 per cent, then the Brunswlck-Thomasville local would become 15 cents. Suppose we could put In the "port rate” of 10 cents w4ilcl The Journal demanded from Bruns, wick and Savannah to Atlanta for the movement of this Vermont marble, with corresponding rates from the ports to other Georgia cities from Americus and Columbus to Athens and Rome. What, tn such events. If the courts had have let them stand, would have become of the shippers of Georgia marble for whom Hon. Hoke Smith and The Atlanta Journal have sudden ly developed such marked solicitude? "Under which king, Bexonlan?” Shall the railroad commission of Georgia "permit" the present rates to stand, knowing that they give the shippers of Georgia marble less rates than Ver mont has to all Georgia points except the coastal rim to which they are practically equal; or shall It meet The Atlanta Journal's demand and reduce the local ratea on that rim, and thus "permit” Vermont marble to encroach still farther Into Interior Georgia shall It override (If possible) the Uni ted States supreme court and put In the "port rate" demanded by Hon. Hoke Smith and The Atlanta Journal and thereby "permit” Vermont marble to meet Georgia marble even handed In all Interior Georgia? Or shall It. to give Vermont and Georgia marble op portunity for a free fight all over Georgia force the railroads to haul Ver mont marble at "port rates" and Georgia marble free? Which horn will you choose? Instruct us, please. 1 will show later that the rates on marble fixed by the railroad commls slon of Georgia are lower than the In tra-state rates of any adjoining atate, lower than those In Vermont, and I will show that Mr. J. B. Roberts' con, tentlon was that If the rates on marble from Vermont were proved to be lower than the rates from Tate, Ga., to eight points on the lower rim of Georgia the railroad commission ought to re duce the rates on marble from Tate to every point In Oeorgla.
