E Lovvorn attended the school rally at Buchanan last Friday, and reports it the largest gathering ever held in Haralson county.. He attributes the great interest in the occasion very largely tp the resent school oratorical contests there anti in Tallapoosa, the next one of which will be held in Ce- dartown next spring. Governor Smith last w eek signed the Steed-Whitley bill regulating the sale of narcotic drucs. This is a law which should be rig.dly enforced. In finitely more insidious and dangerous than the drink habit is use of mor- phine'* and kindred drugs, and the widespread use of these narcotics is one of the most alarming tendencies c? the age. The Legislature acted wisely j in prohibiting thj?ir sale except on reputable physicians' prescription.and I we hope to see an enlightened public sentiment insist on the enforcement of this law to the very letter. China has undertaken to wipe out the curse of the opium traffic, and we should at least be as alive to our dangers and j duties as the "heathen Chinee.” t THE RAILROAD COMMISSION. Hon. Job. M. Brown, the practical railroad member of the State Rail road Commission,has Leen summarily suspended by Gov rnor Hoke Smith. As his term expires In six weeks, and as Governor Smith walled until the adjournment of the Leg.slature before taking this action, the suspension is tantamount to a dlsm s a! irom office. Under the law the Qovernor does not have to give his reasons for his course until the next session* of the General Assembly following his action,' Mr. Brown denies the right of the Governor to thus summarily dismiss him. and in his reply acknowledging service of notice, says: “To the People of Georgia: On Aug ust 21st. the Governor of Georgia issued an order purporting to sus pend me from the office of Railroad Commissioner, and on the same date commissioned another citizen to fill the office thus declared vacaut. The legality of these acts I absolutely deny. **Thla action by the Governor was unquestionably prompted by spleen. I shall not undertake, however, to try this matter In the public press, but with a few words upon the subject, I will ask a fair-minded public to withhold any adverse opinion uutil the next session of the General As sembly, because 1 am denied until then of even an opportunity to vindi cate myself. “During Mr. Smith's campaign for Governor, which lasted more'than fif teen months, he repeatedly stated that his first official am, should he be made Governor, would be to suspend me from office. He took the oath of office June 29th, and as stated as above, his order suspending me was not issued until August 2iat, almost two months having expired after his inauguration before any action was taken to carry out his oft repeated threat. Further than this, the law under which he acts requires that the suspension be reported to the Legis lature, In order that It might say whether or not the reasons for sus pension are sufficient to remove the suspended Commissioner from office. When the Governor took the oath of office, the General Assembly was then in session and if the Governor had desired that investigation in this case which the law contemplated. I sub mit to the fairness of the people of Georgia, would he not have acted soon er? Why did he not allow me the prlvHege of a trial? Would any Judge, while court was in session—as It was, so to speak, in this case—pass sen tence upon any man without first giv ing him that right to which he is en titled under all laws, the right of trial? It would have taken only a few days to have finished this matter had the Governor acted, as he so often said he would, promptly, after his in auguration, or while the Legislature was in session. But he does not do this. He waits until the adjournment of the General Assembly, at a time when I have no opportunity to defend myself, and in this unfair manner takes advantage of the authority which he claims is vested in him by law. because he well knew that I had done nothing as Railroad Commission er which the law forbids, and he well knew that the Legislature would not sustain him.

Both are prominent gentlemen well fitted for this important duty, and Governor Smith Is to be congratulated on their selection. Mr. Calloway is a prac tical business man, and Judge Hillver is an eminent Jurist, who is. by the way, a kinsman of Mrs. W. J. Harris, of Cedartown. At the meeting Monday of the Com mission.

The deposed commission* r is a son of the late Gov. Jos. E. Brown and is m&nd that they pay their fair share of taxation. The value of the rail roads in the development of the state is too great to admit of any unjust one of the most expert railroad rate! or pros^r.ptive policy toward them. We believe the Railroad Cotamission- ers to be big and wise enough to hold the scales of justice with even hand, and to bring about such reforms as are needed with the least possible amount of friction and consequent hampering of development.

His recent let ters have attracted much comment, emphasizing the cla^m that although the Commission of which he w*as a member reduced rates in Georgia an aggregate of $2,000,000, the price has advanced in every one of the commo dities on which the freight was re duced. and the consumers have thus reaped no benefit, the manufacturer and jobbers pocketing the money in- . tended by the Common to be saved for the people.
