CHANGED THE
MEETING PLACE
Georgia Teacher’s Association
Will Not Meet at Cum
berland.
INDIAN SPRINGS
Selected Instead—President Pollock
Announced the Change
Today.
The Georgia Teachers’ Association has
changed its place of meeting for this year.
The meeting is scheduled for June 29-
July 2. and was to have been held at Cum
berland Island, but a letter issued today
by President Pollock announces that the •
meeting will be held at the Wigwam. In
dian Spring instead. The date, however,
has not been changed.
President Pollock is endeavoring to give
notice to every member of the association
of the change, and he asks that all the
papers in the state make the tact known
at once.
Arrangements have been made with
Manager Parker, of the Wigwam, to en
l tertain three or four hundred delegates,
and Manager Parker is today arranging
with President Smith, of the Indian Spring
and Flovilla railroad, to haul this ' im
mense crowd at a special rate and with a
special schedule.
President Pollock announces that the
Wigwam has made a rate of $1.50 per day
for delegates, and that the railroads have
made a rate of a fare and one-third for
the round trip, on the certificate plan. He
. further says, in announcing the change to
Indian Spring. “The accommodations are
| excellent, the surroundings are delightful
and the situation is in the ce.ntral part of
the state. The water of the spring is
healthful and invigorating. The place is
an id>al one for a large gathering of
teachers.”

DAVIS’ DAY.
It is a Bank Holiday, but No Special Pro
gram Arranged.
Today is a legal holiday in Georgia, be
ing the birthday of President Jefferson
Davis of the Confederacy. There will be
no special celebration of it here.
The matter has not been mentioned
among the Confederate veterans, with a
view to anything of the kind, which one of
the veterans remarked, is included in the
celebration of Memorial day. All the banks
are closed, as it is a state holiday, and
other public institutions, not national in
character, are probably observing it as
such.
The Daughters of the Confederacy are
celebrating.
It was expected that there would be
some special program arranged for the oc
casion by the Daughters of the Confed
eracy and this would have been the case
had it not been for the fact that the war
has absorbed everything else.

RAILROADS IN
BIBB’S POLITICS
A Call Upon the Voters of the
County to Rally Against
Them.
'Editor Evening News: My Dear Sir—
I take a >feiw moments' from a sick room
to write you thanking you for your edi
torial in. yesterday’s issue. It ought and
no doubt did touch a warm chord in every
'patriotic citizen’s heart. Wfao is the South
ern railway? Who controls it? Are they
Georgians or Wall street bond holders?
Are they more interested in the prosperity
and welfare of the .people of Georgia than
her citizens in Georgia? (Are they more
familiar 'With the wants and necessities of
the people than the other great interests
of the state? Why are they so anxious to
control and manipulate the ‘laws of the
state? Are they interested more than the
merchants and wage earners and produc
ers in having good laws? Do they obey
those on the statute books of Georgia bet
• ter than the masses and producers vK the
state?
M ell, let us see. It is the only interest
in the state that we have to keep a special
railroad commisison at an expense of over
SIO,OOO per year to prpt&ct the people
from their oppresions.
Do they pay their share of the taxes to
support the government? Well, let us see.
All the various and immense railroads
in this ‘county with their immense and
valuable terminal facilities only pay
510,500 taxes in the county.
The Southern, with its 33 miles of rail
way in this county, and valuable terminal
facilities actually pays $2,183.39 taxes,
about or less than one-third what it should
pay. Os course, they ought. This mammoth
interest ought not control the politics and
dictate the policies of the great county of
B'i : bb. Bibb county pays into the tax treas
ury $200,000 taxes. The Southern railway
pays $2,183.39, about one-hundredth part
Os the taxes. Oh, yes, those who pay one
hundredth part of the taxes, airhough they
are aliens and foreigners, ought to con
trol and manipulate the grand old county
of Bibb.
Oh. yes. they want good laws. They
made those now in the constitution. The
wisest one of all says that no road shall
buy or afbsord another to prevent compe
tition, and when brought before the court
they dodge and evade and try to deceive
the courts and say competition still exists.
\nd yet there is not a fruit grower on the
line of the Southern or Central that is not
forced now to accept the routing by the
railroads ci bis fruit, and forced to use the
: ' -e cars. That these roads have dickered
and traded with all other routes being
bound by this giant monopoly. All other
refrigerator lines, although they are here
now begging to come and offering lower
rates. arc bound. This is competition, in
deed! Oh. yes, they want good laws, and
when your .patriotic citizens offer to neg
lect their business and at a great loss and
expense sacrifice their time to go to the
legislature to make such laws as will re
dound to the best interest of the railroads
and wage earners and commercial interest
and producers all alike, and that will re
dound to the upbuilding of our grand old
state, these sharks and railroad wreckers
and bondholders and-aliens come and say:
Oh. you Georgians, you people of Bibb
county, don,t know who to send to the
legislature. You do not know who will be
most anxious to make good laws. You are
not in it, and from their little bank rooms
in Wall street they assume to say who
shall represent us and touch the button
and the (work goes on.
.Patriots of Bibb, will you stand such as
this? Why have they selected your own
county man—the plain, honest, patriotic,
noble, (big-hearted Joe Hall, for the
slaughter? 'Will you stand this, Bibb
freemen? Who knows Joe Dall best—the
people of Bibib, who have known him from
/boyhood, or those shark bondholders in
their little back room in Wall street? Is
Joe Hall competent? Is he honest? Is he
patriotic? Is there one man that doubts
this? If you believe it. rally to him, pm
triots of Bibb and teach this Wall street
gang that they cannot corrupt Bibb county
voers Ib.v reward or the hope thereof.
(Respectfully,
IM'AiRSHA’LL J. HATCHER.
