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.

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.

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.
