DECEPTION BY JOURNAL,
CHARGES'JOSEPH BROWN
ORIce 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
"because It ‘permlta* Vermont marble
to Invade the sacred soil of Georgia!”
It Is true that this unholy Yankee
product only touches our coast cities
and 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 bordersI" 1
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 does that
oft-preached panacea for all of Gear-
Special to The Georgian.
McRae, Ga., June 14.—At the called
meeting of the directors of the Cltlsens'
Bank held here yeaterday peculiar cir
cumstances were developed In the re
cent conduct of Cashier Oltn Pharr.
After carefully going over the books,
accounts and cash on hand, all were
found In an excellent condition, and all
thought of his guilt of appropriating
the funds has been dispelled, and the
bank officials and cltlsens still ex
press their great confidence In hie In
nocence.
The 14,000 ehortage mentioned In yes
terday's Georgian resulted from hli
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
$1,100, which he had failed to charge to
the loss of the bank.
This shortage v*k. promptly filled by
the directors and there will be no pros
ecutions to follow; In tact, several of
the bank officers and cltlsens express
themselves as not only willing, but
anxious for his return to his family,
and are willing to employ him again.
So thoroughly convinced of his In
nocence are several of the cltlsens that
they are willing to make up the short
age, and It has been offered from sev
eral sources, could he be Induced to
return.
His leaving everything In such shape
and a vault full of money shows con
clusively that he had no criminal In
tent.
A very fine assortment of
Gold and Bronzo Clocks,
and what Is nicer for a
wedding present thin' h
beautiful little timekeeper?
We Nave them from
pounds higher than"would have been'gla's woes hpw, like the hoar-frost,
this commission's rales if such a qiiar-
*jr were there.
Not content, however, with saying
that the railroad coritmlsslon fixed cer
tain high rates from a fictitious quarry.
The Atlanta Journal 'also- published
some fictitious ratea on marble from
i he real quarries at Tate, Ga., and
styled them- "ratea fixed by the railroad
commission of Georgia." I give below
The Atlanta Journal’s rates and the
railroad commission’s rates:

<>n the strength of the rates It pub
lished, ns shown In the first column.
The Atlanta Journal charged that Ver
mont marble waa being shipped to each
of the points at less rates than the
railroad commission of Georgia per
mitted the railroads In Georgia to
charge from the quarries In Georgia to
the same points. But the publication
m the true ratea shows that the rates
hom even Burlington, Vt„ are higher
to every Georgia point The Journal
named save to the two coast cities
•nd to Waycrosa, which has a short
local rate from Brunswick.
Brought st Bsllsat.
Now, Burlington Is on Lake Cham-
Waln, and a schooner, coming from
that point to Brunswick, Ga, for cross-
hc« for the Rutland railway, can be
loaded with marble for ballast at the
*harf In Burlington and can unload It
at the Wharf In Brunswick. The At
lanta Journal, therefore, opens fire
upon the railroad commission of Geor
gia because It "permlte" the rates over
tniies of railroad to be as high as
the all-water ballast rate fixed by a
schooner from a Vermont lake port to
Brunswick. The excuse, of course, Is
•hat the rate being fixed by the all
water route from Burlington, the rail
*t>d water lines compete for the busl-
J'** ,)f the Burlington group, the
farthest point of which Is*II miles from
•ns port.
.."“own with the railroad commission
pi Georgia," cries The Atlanta Journal,
halls?
Let
facta. For a year
and The Atlanta Journal have relent
lessly condemned the railroad commla-
elon of Georgia because of Its denial
of their “port rate" petition. Original
ly professedly filed for Atlanta's bene
fit, they now admit that If granted,
relative figures must have bean extend
ed to other Georgia cities. It was In
tended to cover every Item (about $,-
300) In fourteen classee 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 ratee.”
Among these products was Vermont
arble, less than car-load shipments
of which take two-thlrda of sixth class
rate. The sixth class rato they de
manded from "the ports” to Atlanta
was 15 cents per 100 pounds. Hence
the rate they excoHate the railroad
commission for not naming from, say.
Savannah to Atlanta on Vermont mar
ble In lees than car loads waa 10 cents
per 100 pounds. And, It we had have
yielded to their demand and named
this rate to Atlanta, we mutt have
named the same rate (It cents)
from Savannah to Athens, Albany,
Americas, Columbus, Mllledgsvllle and
Hawklnsvllle. And we must have
named 13 cents to Rome, and, posel
bly, even lower than 9 rents to Macon,
and 8 cents to Augusta.
"Port Rates."
. These "port rates" would have ruin'
ed the Georgia marble shippers If we
had not co-ordinately have reduced
their rates from Tate, etc., by ae 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
13 cents. Therefore, If we had not
forced the railroads to'haul Georgia
marble free from Tate to Atlanta, wa
would have struck Its shippers a dis
astrous blow by acceding to the de
mand for "port ratea" made by Hon.
Hoke Bmlth and The Atlanta Journal.
Let me say here that two-thlrda of
sixth class rate from Brunswick to
FLOUR MADE FROM FRUIT

By Private Leased Wire. “
City of Mexico, June 14.—The Mex
ican government Is seeking to develop
the cultivation of bananas In this
country. For some years past ex
periments have been made with a view
of converting the fruit Into a flour for
food purposes. These experiments are
■aid to have been successful, and It Is
Intended to start two establishments on
the gulf coast In Mexico for the pur
pose of converting the banana Into a

ThomasvUle Is 30 cents. The Atlanta
Journal some weeks ago said that we
ought to reduce that by taking off the
>ercentage allowed tie Atlantic Coast
,lne railroad. Let u» .luppoae that the
courts, which have enjoined the lesaer
reduction ordered by the commission,
would let us meet The Journal's de
mand and take off 30 per cent, then
the Brunswlck-Thomaevllle local would
become 16 cents. Suppose we could
ut In the "port rate” of 10 cents which
he Journal demanded from Bruns
wick and Savannah to Atlanta for tha
movement of this Vermont marble,
with corresponding rates from the
ports to other Georgia cities from
Americas and Columbus to Athens and
Rome. What, In such events, If the
courte 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-
developed such marked solicitude?
'Under which king, Besonlan?" 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 baa 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; or
■hall 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 Oeorgla? Or shall It, to
give Vermont and Oeorgla marbla op.
portunity for a free fight ell over
Georgia force the railroads to haul Var
mont marble at "port rates" and
Oeorgla marble free? Which horn will
you choose? Instruct us, please.
I will show later that tha rates on
marble fixed by the railroad commis
sion of Georgia are lower than the In
tra-state ram of any adjoining stare
lower than those In Vermont, and I
will show that Mr. J. B. Roberts' con
tention was that If the rates on marble
from Vermont were proved to be lower
than the rates from Tate, Ge., 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 Georgia. e
