Hpn-lst to The Georgian. Charlotte, N. C, July 1.—That regularly organised band of pirates should exist with twenty-seven of their number In North Carolina, and that they should carry on their bloody craft from the east coast of Maine to the southern coast of Florida, sounds like a fairy story In the twentieth century, but unfortunately the federal authori ties at the port ot Wilmington, where the Harry A. llerwlnd was brought In some months ago and three negroes on board were condemned to death for mutiny, seems lo bear out moat point edly this well nigh unimaginable story. Recently one ot the three men, Scott, received a letter at Wilmington, and, according lo custom, the Jailer pro ceeded to ascertain the nature ot the contents. When he opened the letter he found evidence that such a band aa' Is men tioned above, really existed, and that the terrible fate of the Harry A. Her- wlnd waa a part of the work of this band of pirates. It le believed. The letter waa turned over to the federal authorities, and they have re fused 10 give out one Jot of Information regarding the same, until they have gone to the bottom of the affair.

The action of Atlanta le viewed as an attempted effort to out in on one of the foremost Industries of Savannah and Brunswick and without* Just reason. The Atlanta freight bureau has en tered before the state railroad commis sion a protest against discrimination In freight rates on. raw fertiliser ma terials lit favor ot Nashville and Birmingham from the ports of Savan nah and Brunewlck. The commission has railed upon (ha railroads to answer the charges of discrimination and the matter will be decided In a short time. According to the schedules of freight rates published by the railroads the rate on raw fertiliser material, Spanish pyrites, brimstone and other minerals used as a basis for fertilisers. Is higher from the ports of Savannah and Bruns- wick to Atlanta than from thb same ports to Birmingham, Ala,, and Nash ville, Tenn., where large fertiliser plsnts are located.

The rate from Savannah and Brunswick to At lanta, a great deal shorter distance, la ((.57.- In spite of the tact that the greater part of these shipments pass directly through Atlanta, a lower rate Is given to the points beyond, nearly twice the distance. Following the filing of a protest by the freight bureau a short time ago the railroad commission called upon the of ficials of the various railroads to make answer, showing why such an apparent discrimination exists. These answers have been filed by several of the rail roads between the two point# and sev eral answers are to be yet received. Th railroads, In their answers to the commission, take the ground that the rates to Nashville and Birmingham are fixed by other railroads leading Into thoae cities and that the roads In Geor gia have no control over the rates. The fertiliser plants In Atlanta who are Interested In the reduction of rates are the Armour, Swift, Furman Farm and Improvement Company, Old Do minion, Marietta and the Atlanta Oil and Fertiliser Companies. In Blrmlng- hnm and Nashville are several large competing companies, the largest of which is said to be controlled by the same stockholders who control the large railroad systems and which would thus ho In a position to dictate rates.
