DECEPTION BY JOURNAL,
CHARGES JOSEPH BROWN
Office of Railroad Commission
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
Die 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 ('out Line railroad rates
which It la said were "fixed by the
Georgia railroad commission," but
which were, from 4 to 8 cents per 100
pounds higher , than would have been
(h!» commission's rates If such a 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
come fictitious rates on marble from
the real quarries at Tate, Ga., and
styled them "rates fixed by the railroad
(ominlsslon of Georgia.” I give below
The Atlanta Journal's ratea and the
railroad commission's rates:
Atlanta Journal's R. R. C.'a
Rates. Rates.
To Ralnbrldge 48 44
To Brunswick 3* II
To Quitman 48 43
To Savannah 39 3.
To Tlfton 42 37
To Thomasvllls 4ti 41
To Valdosta 45.5 4 IT
To Waycross 43 41
On the strength of the rates It pub
lished, as shown In the first column.
The Atlanta Journal charged that Ver
mont marble vriw being shipped to each
of the points at leu 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
ef the true rates shows that the rates
from even Burlington, Vt., are higher
to every Georgia point The Journal
Hunted uve to the two cout cities
and to Waycross, which hu a short
local rate from Brunawlck.
Brought as Ballast
Now, Burlington Is on Lake ,Cham-
I'laln. and a schooner, coming from
that point to Brunswick, Ga., for cross-
<lea (or the Rutland railway, can be
loaded with marble for ballast at the
wharf In Burlington and can unload It
»t the wharf In Brunswick. The At
lanta Journal, therefore, opens lire
upon the railroad commission of Geor
gia hecausa It "permits" the rates over
338 miles 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
that the rate being fixed by the all-
water route from Burlington, the rail
»nd water lines compete for the bust-
ness Of the Burlington group, the
farthest point of which Is II miles from
th* port.
Down with the railroad commission
of Georgia," cries The Atlanta Journal,
"because It 'permits' Vermont marble
to Invade the sacred soil of Georgia!”
It Is true that this gunholy Tankee
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 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 does that
oft-preached panacea for all of Geor
gia's woes now, like (he hoar-tre.Ht,
blight every flower In Georgia's marble
halls? . .
Let us dismiss levity and look at the
foots. For a year Hon. Hoke Smith
and The Atlanta Journal have relent,
lessly condemned the railroad commls
slon 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 been extend
ed to other Georgia cities. It was In
tended to cover every Item (about 3,.
300) In fourteen classes of freight. The
people (Hrat) 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 rated.”
Among these products was Vermont
marble, less than car-load shipments
of which take two-thirds of sixth class
rate. The sixth class rate they de
manded from "the ports" to Atlanta
was 13 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 loads was 10 cents
per 100 pounds. And. If we had have
yielded to their demand and named
this rate to Atlanta, we must have
named the same rate (10 cents)
from Savannah to Athens, Albany,
Amerlcus, Columbus, Mllledgevllle and
Hawklnsvllle. And we must have
bly, even lower than 9 cents
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 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 Is only
13 cents. Therefore, If we had not
forced the railroads to haul Georgia
mkrble free from Tate to Atlanta, we
would have struck Its shippers a dls
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

McRae, Ga., June 14.—At the called
meeting of the directors of the Citizens'
Bank held here yesterday peculiar cir
cumstances were developed In th, re
cent conduct of Cashier Olln 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
ths funds hss been dispelled, and the
bank officials and” cltltens still
press their great confidence In his In
nocence.
The 34,000 shortage mentioned In yes
terday's Georgian resulted from hi.
having cashed several worthless checks
and drafts, several of them dating bark
some time ago, and among which
one drawn on some Eastern Arm for
$1,300, which he had failed to charge to
the loss of ths bank.
This shortage was promptly tilled by
the directors end there will be no pros
ecutions to follow; In fact, several of
the bank officers and cltlsena express
themselves as not only willing, but
ixlous for his return to his famllj
id are willing to employ him again.
80 thoroughly convinced of his In
nocence are several of the citizens that
they are willing to make up the short
age, and It haa beemoffered 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.

Thomasvllle Is 30 cents. The Atlanta
Journal some weeks ago said that we
ought to reduce that by taking off the
lercentage allowed tbs Atlantic Coast
.Ine railroad. Let us .tuppose that the
courts, which have enjoined the leaser
reduction ordered by the commission,
would let us meet The Journal's de
mand and take off 30 per cent, then
the Brunswick-Thomaavllle local would
become It cents. Suppose we could
iut In ths “port rate" of 10 cents which
'he Journal demanded from Bruns
wick and Savannah to Atlanta for ths
movement of this Vermont marble,
with corresponding rates from the
ports to other Georgia dtlea from
Amerlcus and Columbus to Athens and
Rome. What, In such events, If the
courts had have let them stand, would
have become of the shlppera 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 ratea to'stand,
knowing that they give the shippers of
Georgia marble less rate, than Ver
mont has to all Georgia points except
the coastal rim to which they a re
practically equal; or shall It meet The
Atlanta Journal’s demand and reduce
the local rates on that rim, and thus
"permit" Vermont marble to encroach
still farther Into Interior Oeorgla; or
shall it override (If possible) the Uni
ted States supreme court end put In
the "port rate” demanded by Hon. Hoke
Smith end 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 light 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.
I will show later that ths rates on
msrble fixed by the railroad commis
sion of Georgia are lower than the In
tra-stats rates of any adjoining state,
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 ratea from Tate, Os* to eight
polnte on the lower rim of Oeorgla
ths railroad commission ought to re
duce the ratea on marble from Tats to
every point In Oeorgla.
Respectfully.
