been no appreciable increase in tho
cost of living.
Mr. Wharton in his dissenting opin.
ion maintained that the “foundamen.
tni error” of the decision rested on
failure to inquire into ‘‘the adequacy
of rates of pay established for section
men and unskilled laborers." He
serted that rates of pay in other in
dustries of similar character should
be made a secondary consideration
and that the prime factor to bo con
sidered was whether the rates fixed
were just and reasonable which he
said meant an adequate and living
wage under the transportation act.
He maintained that the law of sup
ply and demand which operated in
private industries to fix the price of
labor should not be taken as a basis
by the labor board. The board, he
contended, should find what .should
be a just and reasonable wage by
computing, a family budget contain
ing the expenses of the averagj fami
ly.
He msir.lained that tho livirg wage
principle was practical asserting that
added labor costs would be absorbed
AIRS. J. T. CHASTAIN TELLS
OF VISIT TO THE COAST
I doubt if any of my friends know
that I have been out of town for five
weeks—been to the coast, listening to
what “the wild waves were saying."
I visited my son, Olln, at Carrabelle,
and spent the time very pleasantly,
greeting old friends and making new
one.
Several epend-the-day parties were
given me. One delightful day was
spent with Rev. James Hendry, pastor
ot the Methodist church. One with an
old friend, Mrs. Pickett. She and her
sister live alone in their old family
home, except for Prof. Neel, principal
ot the high school, who boards with
them. Prof. Neel Is a Jovial, friendly,
young man, who reminded me of our
Neel .brothers, except in sixe. He
weighs over two hundred pounds, thus
proving that ho Is not a "chip off the
old block."
Another day was spent with my
young friend, Lessle Calhoun Pope,
whose husband Is In the turpentine
and saw mill business. Her home Is
modern and fitted-with all necessary
Improvements. She has a charming
little daughter, Frances. Mrs. Pope
carried me over to see Major Blocker,
the revenue officer. When a boy. Ma
jor Blocker lived near Tallahassee,
and attended school here at Fletcher
Institute, riding the distance o
horse, given him by the late F. J.
Winn, a relative. Ho had Just re
turned from the Confederate reunion
at Tallahassee and reported the meet
ing ns the "best over."
Many kindnesses were shown mo
by Mr. and Mrs. John Moore. I will
always be under obligations to Dr.
Russell for many courtesies, especially
for the use of his car.
I suppose my friends will be glad
to learn that Olln la doing well In
his business and Is well thought of
In the town. He never forgets his
Thomasville friends and patronizes
them. Every day a large box ot
Flower's bread Is thrown off tho train
for his customers. His corn and meal
comes from Burch and Sons, and his
syTup and other provisions from Thom
as county. After all this Is a good
county and I’m always glad to get
back to It and my Thomasville friends
again.

which was up hill, Mrs. Phillips said

"Mrs. Meadows ran down tho hill

screaming,” the witness continued.
“After rounding a turn in the road, I
heard voices and went back. They
were walking towards tho car, arm In

bought you that wrist watch.’ To Mrs.
Meadows, reply that ahe purchased It
herself, Mrs. Phillips cried ’he did,’
and struck her again on the head with
the hammer.
“Mrs. Meadows put her hands to
her head, and Mra. Phillips swung to
ward me. I ran down the road scream
ing again. Suddenly I became weak
and must have fainted. Afterwards
I looked up the road and saw her lean
ing over tho body.

On cross-examination, Mrs. Caffee,
admitted she had testified falsely be.

DISCUSS STATE FINANCES
Atlanta, Ga., OcL 28 At a meet
ing of the Atlanta Retail Mercnants
Association -warnings that Georgia
faces a great financial peril in the
next session of the Legislature, and
members expressed themsolves
against the proposed repeal of the
tax equalization law.
The attack against the repeal of
the tax equalization law was led by
John Y. Smith, representative elect
of Fulton County, who stated
“Only God can tell what will be the
financial situation of Georgia at the
adjournment of the next Legislature.
Governor-elect Walker is committed
to the repeal of tho tax equalization
law, and if he succeeds in putting his
program through it will bankrupt
the state of Georgia.
“There will not bo a tax assessor
in any county. Property owners can
come up and assess their lands at 60
cents an acre, or anything they please
This will cut down the state’s revenue
$3,000,000. Then the country mem
bers of the Legislature will stand
ready to pass any kind of tnx measure
to make up the deficiency, and it will
be directed against the cities. There’s
grove danger of the repenl of the
only intelligent law that has been
put on the tax books In the past 25
yoars."
