THE STATCS OP THE CASE.
The real situation In regard to-the
railroad commlsslonershlp cannot be
muddled by the statements of Can
didate Crenshaw and his friends
that he is not an ^dependent. As
a matter of fact he Is, and the only
effect of his candidacy will be a
larger vote for Mr. McLend^p. tbat
he would otherwise have bad.
The Atlanta Journal sums up Its
view of the situation In an editorial
In its last issue. It quotes a letter
from Chairman Yeomans of the last
executive committee to Col. Mercer,
then a candidate under date of Aug.
10th, In which Mr. Yeomans says
tbat it would be impracticable forthe

Ralph Smith must have gone to

It my* an audience cheered William
B. Hen rat for S3 mlnutea.
Judge Richard B. Russell seems
to have discovered perpetual motion,
otlon of the running kind at
having a primary fur commissioner,
Inasmuch a* the blank bad been
prepared and sent out,! and that the
committee could not anticipate the
action of 'the legislature making the
office elective.
The Journal goes on to say:
“This shows clearly enough that
the committee, by rotating to act
In the time left to It after the passage
of the bill, referred the nomination
of railroad commissioner to the con-
ventlon .Itself, 'and proves the jus
tice of our contention on this very
point.
"But further, If the convention
had not nominated a candidate, then
there would have been a scrub race
for tbe office between several candi
dates and tbe railroads could easily
jhaye centered upon one man, elect
ing him by the plurality rote and
thus cheating the people out of the
fruits of their hard-earned victory
for just freight rates, The conven
tlon represented the Democratic peo
ple of Georgia. They knew what the
people wanted. They chose the be3t
'man In their view for the suffrages
’of tbe Democratic party, and, ni Ed
itor Mercer well says, “We predict
that Mr. Crenshaw will get the cold
shoulder from the Democratic hosts
of Georgia on October 8.”
“We repeat: The freight rate
question was such an overwhelming
Issue In this campaign, the election
of the successor to Joseph M. Brown
was such a vital part of tbat Issue,
and tbe whole matter so Intimately
Involved In the candidacy of Hoke
Smith for governor and so thorough
ly understood by the people them
selves. In their votes In the primary,
that tbe convention, fresh from the
people and chosen to carry out their
demands, would have been derelict
to Its duty If It had not ’nominates
a Democratic candidate for railroad
commissioner, Who was known to
stand on the same platform with
Hoke Southland waa himself cem-
toitted to the reform for which the
people had been contending."

The buetnes* men of Boston, On.
came to the conclusion that the rail
roads were not giving that little city
equitable freight rates. Instead of
fussing about the matter the, Boston
men went before the state railroad
commlsloner with a petition nnd the
ground* therefor and the Boston rate
was ordered lowered. That seems to
have been the business way of doing

.l’?'*'
THOMAS COUNTY COMPARED TO
ORADY AND DECATUR.
Dear Editor:
I write you, this letter to publish,
thinking tbat It might do some of
your readers some good.
Farmers of Decatur county raise
cotton, corn and tobacco. Farmers
of Orady county raise cotton, corn
and tobacco. Farmers of Thomas
county raise cotton and corn, but nq
tobacco. , ,
This Is what the three counties
produce, but there are other differ
ences between them.
Decatur and Grady county farm
ers are having their stock Insured,
which shows that' they believe In
protection. Some of the - farmers of
Thomas county have their stock In
sured, but there are Qthers who'are
holding back. This is probably due
to the fact that they do not know
that the best Live Stock Insurance
Company Is located right In their
own county.
Now It Is certainly true, that
what helps-one farmer will help
others; that which la good for Grady
and Decatur farmers Is good
other people. It Is reasonable
suppose that horses and mules cul
tivating cotton and corn will die as
fast As those cultivating tobacco, If
not a little faster. Ndw If you bis-
lleve that this Is tue, make Inquiry
about the Planter's Live Stock In
surance Company of Thomaavllle.
Their plan Is the b6st. Respectful
ly. GEORGE ATKIN.
