LEO FRESH, Auctioneer. 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 DO YOUKNOW Why we request you to use this label on your printing?

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.

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 Hour for food purposes. These experiments are said to have been successful, and It ts Intended to start two establishments on the gulf coast In Mexico for the pur pose of converting the banana Into a lour, and of shipping th, product to the United States.

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.
