DANGER LURKS IN PETITION The officials of the Atlantic Coast line have made ■application to the Inter-State Commerce Commission for authorisation of that company to purchase the Clinchfield and Ohio railroad. On the face of the petition there does hot appear anything unusual, but when it is analyzed there may be serious dan ger lurking in the application, as it stands to both the public and the state. The,Atlantic Coast Line controls four of the lines operating in the coal fields and with the purchase of the Clinchfield and Ohio it would give to that company five arteries for distributing the products of the coat mines in Tennessee and Virginia. The Georgia railroad is leased and controlled by the L. & N. and the L. & N. is controlled by the Atlantic Coast Line, so it is alleged. This being ture the purchase of the Clinchfield and Ohio by the Atlantic Coast Line, so it is alleged. This being true the and especially to Athens and intermediate points would be directed via Atlanta and from Atlanta over the Georgia road into Athens. As it*is now the bulk of these shipments are received over the S. A. L. which is a shorter route for the coal dealers. Be that as may, the freight rates would be the’ same, but the greatest danger lies in the fact that so soon as the Atlantic Coast Line gains possession of these lines entering the coal fields, the W. &. A. road, owned by.the state, would lose practically all of the coal shipments. Whether the state can afford for Atlantic Coast Lino to* come into control of the coal .business is worth investigating on the part of the ■ Attorney General. When the present lease has ex pired and this business directed to other lines it will mean a decrease In the value of the state’s property. It is worth considering and it would be wise on the part of the state officials to be represented at the hearing on the application when it comes before the commission the latter part of thiq month. REUNION OF THOSE WHO WORE THE GREY The Confederate veterans are meeting in Some this week. The line of these noble men is growing thiner each year, but with flying flags and the strains of music bursting forth with Dixie, the Rebel yell can be heard on all sides and the old heroes march with a quickened step as of yore. In a few years the last remnant of the bravest and truest armies the world has ever known will have passed to the great beyond. It brings a feeling of sadness each year when these reunions are held. ■ So many who will be present this year who will not answer to the roll call next year. And many who answered to the roll call last year will not be there to answer this time. They have answered the last roll call and their souls are now on High marching in line with their chief and mingling with the souls of Lee/Davis, Gordon, Jackson and other great generals who have _ gone _ before them. * - •* • The youngest confederate soldier is now past three score year and ten, and in natural events of life there is only a few more, years left for them on this earth. Eevery attention should be paid them by the present generation and their reunions Bhould be given the aid of all citizens and the occasion be made one of pleasure and comfort for those who sac rificed their all for the projection of their homes and loved ones. These old soldiers meet and talk of Lee and Davis the president of the confederacy; though dead for thirty-four years, President Davis Is fresh In their memories as though it were yesterday. Many of them decrepit and aged, in memory they are as young today as when they shouldered their muskets and marched to line, facing the enemy. Those days have passed and now we hav<\ a reunited country and the old confederate veterans And the hid union soldier have long since forgotten and for given, and their sons and grandsons have gone to the front in solid phalanx for the protection of our homes and for our country, against foreign invasion. Judge Lewis C. Russell is following the precedent of Judge Roscoe Luke, of the Court of Appeals, in that he caused the Superior Court of Gwinnett county to be opened with prayer.

Berton Braley’s Daily Poems | MANY MILLION DOLLARS HIDDEN AWAY IN FRANCS PARIS.—^All over France men and women for years have been hoarding American currency. I became available in large quanti ties with the coming of American soldiers during, the war, and the French were quick,to see its value. Today people are Wondering how many dollars are concealed in the “woolen socks” of the republic. The estimates run from $1,000,- 000 to $5,000,d00. Recently a Frenchman living in Chaumont, who kept a candy store during the war, disclosed to a friend a strong box containing over $12,500 in Am erican bill of various denorriina- tions, which he said he would sell when the franc reached 20 for one dollar. “There are a good many men in this town alone who have more than I,” this man declared.
