COMMISSION TO
HEAR THE CASE
Question as to Right of the
Express and Telegraph
Companies
AS TO REVENUE STAMP,
Case Will Probably be Heard on
Monday Week —lt Is Thought
the Companies Will Lose.
Speaking of the disputed right of the
express and telegraph companiese to make
the public pay for the internal revenue
stamps, the Constitution today says:
Georgia’s railroad commissioners have
decided to call on these companies to ap
pear before them and show cause, if any
they have, why they should not be sued
for collecting more money on messages and
freight than the law allows.
There has been no expression from the
commission, but there is something in the
air which gives the impression that the
members of the board think that the com
panies aought to pay the tax instead of
collecting it from the peolpe. The action
of the railroad companies in promptly
agreeing to furnish the stamps makes the
position of the other companies look a lit
tle worse. It may turn out that the ex
press and the telegraph companies have a
right to make their patrons pay the war
tax, and if this is true, then the railroads
would also be justified in charging the
stamps to the public.
A test case was made in Texas on one of
the express companies, and the railroad
Commission there decided that it had no
jurisdiction. That may be the decision of
the Georgia commission after hearing the
lawyers, but the commissioners are going
to look into the question before decid
ing. Georgia’s commission has a rule
which forbids railroads, express companies
and tiegraph companies from charging any
more for their services than certain pre
scribed rates. If a citizen tenders a mes
sage of words to a telegraph company to
be transmitted from Atlanta to Savannah,
for instance, the company has no right,
under the commission’s tariff to charge
more than 25 cents. But it declines to ac
cept the emssage unless there is a stamp
on it.
The question is, has it the right to re
fuse the message?
That is the question which the commis
sioners will study and Which the lawyers
for the corporations will argue. The decis
ion is going to hinge right on that propo
sition.
Os course the commission could reduce
the maximum rates bv the amount ofl cent,
but the board is not likely to take that ac
tion. If the rates are reasonable and just
they will stand. If they are considered
too high the commission would treat that
question by itself. The stamp issue will
be considered and decided on its own mer
its and the law.
This conclusion was reached yesterday
at a conference atended by all the commis
sioners, Chairman Trammell, Judge Spen
cer Atkinson and Colonel T. C. Crenshaw
being present.
Monday, July 18th, was the date set for
the hearing. Judge Atkinson will prepare
the rule nisi requiring the companies
named above to appear on the day men
tioned.
CA.STOTt.XA.
Bears the The Kind You Have Always Bought
BIG CARNIVAL
MUST BE HELD.
Mr. George Smith Says He is
Willing to Change Front
and Go to Work.
To the Editor of The Evening News: I
notice from your issue of yesterday that
notwithstanding your wise editorial, and
my endorsement of the same, the gentle
men of the executive committee have de
cided to hold the carnival this fall. While
I am still of the opinion that the commit
tee has made a mistake, and my opinion
is shared by many of the most substantial
and liberal men in Macon, who all their
lives long, have done many things for the
permanent benefit, of not a few. but for
nil the people, if you can afford to change
front, and support the carnival, the writer
can certainly afford to follow your lead. I
desire now, to commend the spirit that
prompts y.ou to support an/ enterprise
that promises good for Macon, you could
hardly do otherwise. But the next time,
Mr. Editor, that I endorse you. I hone you
will give me sufficient notice, so that I
may change when you do. I don’t suppose
that you ever intended to fight the carni
val association, I am sure I did not but
meant merely to give the gentlemen of
the executive committee some gqdd advice.
Some of the gentlemen of the comm ttec
have had experience with the Dixie Fair,
and with the Carn val last year, and I am
sure that they w.’ll profit by these experi
ences. The finance committee can best
tell about the magnitude of the under
taking by circulating the subscription ’ist.
I trust that we now understand each other.
Yours for Macon. Geo. A. Smith.
The Best Remedy tor Flux.
Mr* John Mathais, a well-known stock
dealer of Pulaski, Ky., says: “After suf
fering for over a week with flux, and nay
physician having failed to relieve me, I
was advised to try Chamberlain’s Colic.
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and have
the pleasure of stating that the half of
one bottle cured me.” For sale by H. J.

WALKS 135 MILES.

regiment, and a private in Company ‘IM,

135 miles to Macon to enlist in the army
He first went to Atlanta to enlist, but
was rejected on account of his eyes. He
walked on to Macon where he enlisted and

The officers say that *he is a model sol
dier and one of the best men in camp.
DRAY TICKETS.
Ruling Made on Subject by the Collector in
Chicago,
The collector of internal revenue at Chi
cago has made a ruling in regard to the
dray ticket or shipping, which concerns all
persons who do an export business. With
regard to the dray ticket the collector rul
ed that it is nothing more than a memo
randum and need not be stamped, but must
be surrendered by the shiper to the rail
road company for an original bill of lad
ing.
The Central Freight Association has,
therefore, notified its members that st will
not be necessary to stamp these shipping
tickets, but the following notations must
be placed on each one of said such uek-
macon news Saturday evening, july 9 1898.

ets by the railroad company receiving the
sbipmen for forwarding:
"This is a memorandum only, and is not
negotiable, and must be exchanged at the
office of this company for a through export
bill of lading, to which the agent of this
company will attach a revenue stamp, as
required by law.” ,
This means that the railroiad companies
will not be required to put a 10 cent stamp
on the shipping ticket sent to the depot
with an import shipment, but can instead
treat the shipping ticket as a mem
orandum and take it up and issue
a regular export bill of lading in its place
and attach a 10 cent stamp as required by
law to each of such bills of lading issued.
The railroads, however, will only pay for
the stamp on the original bill of lading,
the shipper being required to provide the
stamp for each copy of the original be
may want.
Some of the roads thought that a 1 cent
stamp would be all that would be requir
ed on a bill of lading issued on shipments
destined for Canada, British Columbia and
Mexico, but have been informed that ship
ments to these countries come under the
head of export shipments, and each bill
of lading or copy thereof will require a 10
cent stamp.
