ION
MAKES
He Accuses Hoke §mith and
Fuller Callaway of Feather-
ing Their own Nests.
Atlanta, Oa., Jan. 24.—Charging
tbat Hoke Smith, ae governor, and
Fuller E. Callaway, as a railroad
commissioner, both of whom be
states were large stockholders In
the mills at Manchester, msde
secret contract with President At
kinson, of the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic Railroad Company, In
which the road agreed to give the
same rate to a local atatlon (Man-
cheaterla a Atlanta enjoyed, form,
er Chairman of the Railroad Com
missioner S. Guyt McLendon, who
was dlcharged form that Ibody by
- Hoke Smith, has Issued a lengthy
statement regarding the matter.
Mr. Smith was asked for a state
ment In reply, but he merely said
ho did not consider the matter
worth of attention.
Mr. Mclxmdon has filej a petit
ion wlh the railroad for his clients'
asking that Eastman, Ga„ be giv
en as low rate! as other Georgia
towns which have no better ship
ping facilities, yet enjoy the lower
rate on shipments from both East
and West.
In hts statement, Mr. McLendon
says In par:
"Fuller E. Callaway was the or
ganiser and large promoer and he
and Hoke Smith were among the
largest stockholders to the capital
stock of the then paper enterprise'
of the town of Manchester, and Its
cotton mills. Callaway, representing
himself, Hoke Smith end one nr
more legislators and other stock
holders, made with Mr. Atkinson,
of the A. B. ft A. railroad, a secret
contract tn which the A., B. ft A.
railroad agreed to give, contrary to
law then, and contrary to law now
to a local' station on Its line, the
same rates from the Bast as wore
given to Atlanta. This hold-up made
Manchester a basing point and was
a simple disgrace, because It made
Manchester the only point east of
the Mississippi andr south of the
Potomac which had but one road
tiie equal In tranaportatln facilities
with Atlanta, which bad ten rail
roads. Manchester Is no more a
Junction point or competitive,
basing point, and Is no more entit
led to competitive rates than
Mtllen. Gordon or Fort Talley, and
Smith vllle, Parnesvttle or Orlflln
on the Central. Manchester la elm.
ply a local station where the A., B
ft A. forks; one fork running ti
Chattanooga and the other to At'
lanta.
"Manchester, a local station
miles from Atlanta, gets Atlanta
rates, while Grlffln, 44 miles from
Atlanta, la compelled under the
bss'ng point system to pay the At
lanta rate plus the rate hack
Gridin. In other words, aMncheatcr
pays'11.05 where Gridin pays $1.14.
Grlffln has worked for a full gem
erst Ion and spent a large fortune
to get what Manchester got without
cost and secretly. When considered
In connection with what la actually
done for Grinin, which Is In fact,
Junclon point, having two railroads,
the favoritism shown to Manchester
la not only unlawful, but morally
outrageous”
An Atlanta Woman Teaches
Bridge Whist to Help the
Foreign Missions.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. $4.—Hers Is a
queer case In which a well-known
Atlanta society woman 'and a well-
known Episcopal church, of which
she Isa member, seem llteraly to
be robibng the devil of his own fa-
vorlte weapons and using them tc
accomplish good.
The church Is In need of funds
for missions and other purposes,
and this lady has announced that
she Is going to teach the science of
bridge whist, giving lessons for pay
and devoting the money to the
church. The Idea of teaching card
playing for the glory of the church
Is arousing wide-spread—well,
wide-spread "Interest.” The lady
has announced 1 la stated, / that she
will charge 5\) cents to women and
$ 1 to men, basing her rates on the
alleged fact that It Is harder for
men to learn bridge than for wom
en. It Is said that she has already
had many applications to member
ship In her classes, arid that If the
scheme Is pursued she will make a
lot of money by It, for the church.
Atlanta Is always bridge crazy,
particularly the “social set." and
the pupils of this most Christian
teacher will come, It I* bellev'ed,
from practically all denominations
Comment from those Atlanta
ministers wl/o are perennially de
claring against the evils of card
playing Is being awaled with 1n-
tenso Interest. It has not been six
months since sos of the Methodist
brethren have denounced cards as
a "device of satan.”
