last mil call has ben st
and the legislature of 1884-
5 is >e more. They were certain
ty a veiy patient set of fellows—
enduring so many hardship* and
privations, and yet without com
plaint. Like true ami tried sol
diers they stood to the rack, diasf
ing their four dollars per day, ef
hoc genus omme, including free
passes, of course. The summer
session will-go dofirn initiatory; 1

minus "Cromwell,” who, if living,
might have done the people "of
Georgia a real service liy re en
.acting in Atlanta v.arversl weeks
ago . what hf did, i° England
many years ago. However, each
memln r is directly responsible to
his cons: i n -nts for his acts, which
have been faithfully recorded and
<>| en to public inspection.
The most important question,
and the one which occupied di
rectly and indirectly so much of
the time of the legislature was the
Gill known as the railroad com
mission hill. Few can imagine
the magnitude and interest uiani
fested in this bill unless they
could.have been present and beard
■ the discussion and seen tlie tricks
and devices resorted to by both
sides.
The friends of the bill were or
ganized and stood together like a
solid wall. For weeks they had
nightly caucuses almost, with free
cigars and champagne in shun
dance. These caucuses were held
at the Kimball House in a private
parlor of Capt. Gordon, of Savin
nali, one of the members from
Chatham—a director of the Cen
tral railroad, and withal a most
estimable gentleman and able leg
islator. Near.bv was another
caucus, composed mainly of rail
road magnates, lawyers and lob
hyisls, who live on the fat of the
laud, dwell in princely homes, and
drawing salaries ranging frnln
live thousand to twelve thousand
dollars |s-r annum. A few .lays
tie fore a vote was reached on the
final passage of the bill anothci
caucus met. This caucus *j-
.-oiniinsed of members, who in all
sincerity d.sired to' do right
They felt keenly the rrs|ionsihili
ty of their position, the recipro
cal 'Ulcrcst of the |ieople and t lie
railroads, and the oath they had
taken to sup|Mirt the Constitution
of the State and the United Slates.
I am quite sure this caucus acted
without Idas or prejudice. They
earnestly sought how they could
right the wrongs complained of
liy the railroad , and stay within
the pale of the Constitution and
frame a law in keeping with its
letter and spirit, -and one that
would seen re to the people of the
entire State just and reasonable
rates of freight and passenger
tariffs. The most ifltVa railroad
commission man in that caucus
conceded the propriety and right
of tlie railroads to make their own
rates to be submitted to the com
missioners. and revised and •regu
lated by them. Numerous other
members were willing logo a step
farther and give the roads the
right of appeal from tlie rates of
the commissioners—making the
railroads anil the commissioners
the litigants. As the roads clam
ored for the right of appeal, the
legislature (at least a large ma
jority) wciv willing -to confer that
right, notwithstanding the fact
they would have been conferring
legislative functions upon the Ju
diciary, a tliing clearly nnconsti
tutionul, and would bava been so
declared by the courts. But the
roads did not want that kind of a
bill. It would have presented the
s|iectncle of two giants fighting
on uncertain ground, with nothing
to gain; hut with much to lose.—
Nothing would satisfy the roads
but the right of appeal, hence the
Senate bill was formulated and
passed, which made it possible to
create a lawsuit with every mer
chant and farmer in Georgia that
rode cm a railroad, or shipped
goods over them. Imagine filly
thousand of Georgia’s citizens in
their individual capacity in a law
suit with the railroads, every
fell >w, with a lawyer, fighting for
dear life. In hundreds and thou
sands of eases five dollars would
cover the amount in dispute, aud
submission, or a lawsuit, costing
$50.00, would lie the result. Un
der that bill the people would have
risen up en masse to | ut down
county taxes levied ii|Hin
them to pay court expenses grow
ing out of litigation with railroad
cor]Hiralions that don't pay one
cent of county taxes. Indiridu
ais can’t cope with railroads in the
courts, 110 more than a man can
dam up the run of "Punkiu” creek
with his Jhit. Such an unequal
contest liuds a forcible illustra
tion in the story of "Gulliver and
the Lilipolians.” 1 could not vote
to drag the jieople into litigation,
lliereforewas opfioscd to the Senate
bill. Belter far to abolish the
commission.outright than to en
act such a Jaw. .The truth is. the
roads did not want the ap|>eal
clause in the bill, liecause they
knew it would have been declared
unconstitutional—lienee the Jen
kins amendment suited them in
finitely belter, an analysis of
which is about as fallows: The
Coraniiasioncra to fix Ike prouiir-
tion in rates for longer and short
er distances, and to prescribe what
should l.e the limits of longer and
shorter distances, with no power
to say what rates should be charg
ed, except they should be equable
for the distance trwnajiorled.—
The roads to make their own rates
with no power of the commission
era- to net, except upon complaint.
The party complaining being re
quired to distinctly set forth tlie
rate charged by the road, ami also
what rate would be reaaoaableand
just. The party complaining hav
ipg the right to appear ia person,
bv attorney or in writing. The
former mode would be too tedious
and expensive, and could recur
on every shipment and different
classes of freight. A complaint
in writing would be amt by- nu
merous railroad expert* and wft-
and the prepondcrattag
weight ef their toslimoay Ming
«uUie aide of the mads the com
iuiwlmrri d> momity would be
sum pel led to decide in their favor.
Such a law would work great
hardships to the patrons of the
roads, and failing to. get- justice
they would otcouracsubmit to the
wring, ami naturally add the in
crease of freight to cotton purchas
ed, and to guano, flour, bacon and
bagging'and ties raid, which in
crease would come out of the far
rner and consumer, who Work
hard ami lire hard from year to
rear. Another serious objection
in the -Jenkins-., amendment,- it
mad* no provision for the recov
ery of excessive, rates paid to the
roads- To illustrate-—an fieri
aire rate of freight on cotton
might he imposed on Mr. C. S.
Simpson, and if be could, by any
possibhr means, get a lower ’rate
from the Commissioners, it would
only apply to future shipments
under tne then existing schedule,
but the rates made could be
changed as often as the schedule
is cfaaneed; over which the 1
missioners hare no control. Thus,
it will lie seen, that complaints ad
judicated by the commissioners
must of necessity lie renewed as
often as the roads change their
rates, which they can do ml injin
Hum. Every body admits the ne
cessity of a commission. Fast ex
perience has demonstrated the
lieuefilsof equalizing^ freight* and
preve’ntrng ‘iliVHfrtinSfloii* and
extortions, and had the hill pass
ed. tiie com mission law would
have been completely emasculated
and practically destroyed. The
|ieop!e are not willing to submit
to the wrongs they once suffered
at the hands of the railroads.
lb-fore the commission was es
tnhlished the Central Railroad
Savannah Division, charged $130
per car load of 20.000 pounds lor
first class freight hauled ten miles.
The S. F. & \V. Road for tIn- same
service charged $70. The Air
Line Railroad charged $4G. The
Western A Allan'ic $36. and the
Georgia Railroad $14. What tin
reasonable and intolerable differ
ences. The Central running
through a level country charging
double and treble what olhci
lines charged, anil nearly ten
'lines more t han the Georgia Koad
charged. On the item of Hour fai
a ten miles haul the Cen ra'
charged tour limes as much as tlie
Georgia Rond. Docs that look
reasonable - and just? And the
road thatlea-i all otlieis then in
the matter of extortion and dis
crimination is t he one now seeking
to destroy the commission to t-na
blc them to re enact their old
policy of oppression and extor
tion. Think of it mv fellow citi
zens and don’t forget that you
were once victim's of this oppres
shut and extortion.
Another objection to the com
mission urged by many is that
they' retard railroad building.
The contrary is. the truth, anti the
records prove its correctness. Be
fare t he commission was establish
ed it was the policy of all the old
lines <0 crush out new roatls ex
cept as they liecaiue feeders to the
bid lines. Uniter the present law
railroad building is on a Ikkuii
liecause rates are equalized and
discrimination prohibited. A
striking proof of the correctness
if this view ol the ease may lie
found in the fact that those mein
beni of the legislature living on
recently built roatls and owning
stock in them were strongest
against the railroad bill. Judga
Harrell, of Webster, largely in
lerested in the Lumpkin A Ainer
icus Road stated to the writer
that the very life of bis road tie
pended upon the maintenance of
the commission. Hon. Carter
Tate, Chairman of the Railroad
Committee, anti Dr. Watkins, of
Gilmer county, both largely inter
ested in the Marietta A North
Georgia Railroad, and owners of
extensive marble quarics enter
laincd similar views.
An erroneous idea prevails that
the railroad commission law keeps
out-capital. 1 don’t believe one
wonl of it. Foreign capitalists
wants the “lion’s share” and they
wont invest in southern railroads
unless they can get it. As fast
railroads are needed there is
always capital ready to build
them. I know- a big railroad that
wants ‘.lie C. C. A B. Ifoad. The
fact is it dont cost much to build
a railroad in this section nohow.
CuthlK-rt nnd llaiabridge anil the
fieoplc on the line ought to build
this road, and they can do it at a
small cost with a little effort.
Will they do it? At any rate I
predict that the road will lie built
during 18Sfi.
Messrs. Editors. I am not op
posed to a mollification of the law
now of force, but want such modi
fication as will work justly and
reciprocalIv towards butii tin-
roads and the people. Railroads
are granted extraordinary fran
ebises. They have the right of
eminent domain They ran con
demn property and take it, and
the owner can’t help liiniself.—
They pay n» county taxes, al
though their pnqicrty and their
rigiits in the courts arc maintain
eil in every county through which
their lines pass. Many roads pay-
no taxes to the Slate. They arc
public carriers—deal with tire
public, and the State claims the
right of requiring just and reason
able rates. Millers, bridge keep
ers and other classes are restrict
eil to certain fees, tolls, etc. They
enjoy no chartered privileges. The
money lender is restricted to 8 per
cent interest, and yet he has no
chartered rights. These persons
hire a greater right to ask for a
modification of certain laws than
the railroads have. But their
means lack aggregation. Their
memliers lack incorporation, by
which they become artificially one
person, and art as such. The ti
ny rain drops that tall in the
morning to sweeten and invigorate
nature, to impart life to the tender
|i!ant and add fresh aroma to with
ering flowers, in their aggregation
form terrific torrents that sweep
away a cottoa crop or a rice crop
in a fiery few Imars.
In voting against the reilmad
bill I was ouatruth*I by cunteisnen.
and s trull matured judgment. 1

•mill have voted had Iky

' The Ci
An efliwt was made-in the lost
session of the. Legislature to re
peal the usury -lawn of tiiefstate,
leaving the rate at interest to be
agnail upon by the contracting
portiaa. Tb« strongest opponent
of the measure was Mr. Arabella,
of Dougherty. Now. we happen
to know ibal-AIr. Arnheim is an
intelligent, well read man on
many sulqecto, and the wonder is
that he conld have betrayed tbc
ignorance he did oh tliia occasion.
His strong argument was that the
Bible-op posed usury, ami quoted
several passages where the matter
was referred to. Mr. Arnheim
might bare known that tlie word
usury as used in the scriptures
simply meant interest, whether
little or much. The Jews were
taught to consider themselves as
a family, apart from the rest of
tlie world—a peculiar |ieople—and
were not allowed to exact any in
teresl at ail from each oilier, while
they were left free to demand any
rate they pleased from other peo
ple.
This argument against iisury
wiil not do, and so far as we bare
lieen aide to see, there is no more
force in any other argument in fa
ror of usury laws.

hat a flourish of trumpets the
marriage of this young lady to a
rich young English swell was her
alded a few years ago. The mar
riage was unfortunate, and the
two are now separated. The' bil
lowing gives the explanation:
"The truth is that the only
reason why the separation has not
lieen complete between Nellu-
Grant and her husband is liecause
of her inability to obtain posses
sion of her three children. Sar-
toris has lieen brutal in his treat
ment of her, and she does not
want to live with him. It the
children ever get to this side of
the water they will never lie al
lowed logo hack again. If Mrs.
Sartoris gets possession of them
she will probablV, alter the mourn
ing in the Grant family en Is,
bring suit for a divorce from the
brutal, unappreciative creature
she married. Tlie marriage was
the regret of Gen. Grout's life.

I would have to give up business
entirely. I procured a bottle and
commenced taking it. By tlie

or six days) I was relieved of
pain, but to make sure, 1 took an .
other bottle, and am now entirely

The next question of interest is:
What place will get the Techno
logical School? Macon. Athens,
Columbus and Atlanta, will bid
for it in all probability. Tlie lit
tle town of Penfield, tlie former
seat of Mercer University, will
claim it. She will offer a fine set
of buildings already furnished,
which it ia estimated would cost
$80,000 to put up new at this time.
