LEO FRESH, Auctioneer. 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: Atlanta Journal's R. R. C.’t Rates. Rates. To Ralnbrldge 48 44 To Brunswick 39 33 To Quitman 48 43 To Savannah 39 35 To Tlfton ..42 • 31 To ThomasvUle 46 41 To Valdosta ,.45.3 40 To Waycroas .......45 41 <>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 IS WANTED IN MEXICO. 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 flour, and of shipping the product to the United States. DO YOUKNOW Why we request you to use this label on your printing? If not, send for our little pamphlet “To Our Friends, The Merchants.” ATLANTA TYPOfiRAPHICAL P. O. BOX 266. 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 Respectfully, JOSEPH M.
