UTE QUESTION ONE
OF MJMITII
CAHIN’G UEFOKK THE GEOHG1A
COMMISSION MAY TAKE
il to O MONTHS.
Atlanta, Aug. 10.—As the hearing
u Of the petition from the railroads of
► Georgia for increased freight rates,
'before the railroau commission on
-August 17, draws near, those who
have investigated it are just begin
ning to realize the magnitude of the
‘problem presented. This, perhaps,
explains the reports from all parts
of the State to the effect that senti
ment is crystalizing against any
change in tne personnel of the com
mission at this time.
It is predicted that the hearing
Jtself will last anywhere from three
[to six months, and that the lega
tions and other problems possibly
growing out of it, will occupy the
attention of the commission for two
years or more to come.
Com. J. A. Perry and Chairman
.Candler are the only two of the five
members to be elected this year.

To the .Voters of Thomas County:
As a candidate for the Legisla
ture I am submitting for your con
sideration the following:
I am opposed to the creation of
any new county requiring a portion
of Thomas County’s area,
I am opposed to the sale of the
State Railroad, and .1 am in favor
of leasing it to a better advantage
as the revenue derived by the 8tate
at present is not in propcrlion to
its real value. According to good
authority, the revenue over and
above the expense of operating it
the last fiscal year, was nearly a mil
lion dollars of which the Stats' re
ceived only about four hundred
thousand dollars. The State fs
justly entitled to more revenue from
It.
I am fn favor of strict measures
prohibiting the sale of alcoholics as
beverages*.
r am in faror of biennial sessions
of the Legbrntnm*.
1 would 1 advocate? any just pfeni
vrbfeh couM be, by proper legisfa-
tton, mad’e a law that would
prove the public school facilities and
procure a' better' education of
chffdrqn, atrdl especially those
smaller comniuntdes and of tne
i at districts..
Should, a measure be brought ft*
the legislature for action providing
an equitable adjustment of the con
dition making unequal freight rates,
I should give it my sincere support.
