Tumlln. 311st Let* Montgomery leaves Thursday for a short stay at Menlo. .Miss Mary To the Editor of The Georgian: I notice In The Georgian of the 24th that In noting Mr. Brown's withdrawal from the railroad commissioner’s race you use this language: "If the lines as to railroad man or one possessing practical railroad expedi ence are drawn in "selecting Mr. Brown’s successor,’’ that the writer would be eliminated from the race. I have had eight years of actual work and experience as a tailroad man. not as a boy, but since I have been a man. An experience that enabled me to become familiar with freight rates, passenger rates, tariffs and dtner de tailed work that would be of advantage to a man on the commission. I believe 1 have had as much experience as an>' mar. that has served on the Georgia commission. I hope you will give this prominence in your excellent paper. The sugges tion that I have not necessary tailroad experience came from Brown In a capl- tol Interview some days ago. Sincerely, J. E. MERCER. FUsgerald, Ga., Aug. 26. 75 PEACHTREE ST.
