As has been stated be fore, It was through hts instrumen tallty that tbe railroad commission bill was pushed through tbe Legis lature.

South and Southwest Georgia cau now have an opportunity to see a real, live, railroad commissioner. The editors are now preparing for Christmas, and begging for any thing like' wood, chiokens, eggs and turkeys. Amerlous extends thanks to the Columbus Enquirer-Sun, Macon Telegraph, Brunswick Times, Sa vannah News, Cordele |Cordelean and many other papers In South and Southwest Georgia for favoring, the appointment of Judge Fort as Railroad Commissioner. What other olty In Georgia oan boast of a Mayor just entering bis seventh term, with as many pub lic improvements as Amerlcus has, with as fine publlo schools, and as prosperous a olty, with a debt con siderably less than $76,000? But that Is tbe Mayor Amerlous can boast of in Mayor Felder. DIRECTOR GOULD. The prospeotlve eleotion of Jay Gould or his representative as a dl reotor of the Central road has not excited the State press as much as The Recorder supposed. .We look for a violent onslaught, to which the terms'*rallroad wrecker,” “robber," "thief,” etc., would be used very liberally. On the con trary, the State press seem in cllned to the opinion that It will be avery good thing for the Central to have Mr.Gould In Its directory, In asmuch as be oan give that road a great amount of business that now goes to other roads. It Is said that Mr. Gould proposes to make some sweeping reductions In the expenses of the road, and will do away with many useless traveling passenger agents, solici tors, brokers, and the like, and also discontinue the praetlce of compe tition between the different roads of the Terminal system. If this polioy Is carried out It will hurt uo one but a tew individuals who fatten at the expense of tbe jealousy of tbe offloers of the dif ferent Terminal lines. It will not inoreaso freight rates, but, on the contrary, enable the roads to give better service for the same rates, as then their attention will be wholly given to legitimate business, and not to turning business from the channel it would naturally seek It Is rathsr early tu the day, though, to make a prediction as to the effect of Mr. Gould's polioy on the people who use the Terminal roads as carriers, but If bis plans as mentioned are carried out, It will mean Increased business and greater revenue for his lines, and better servlce’for the people ,at no increase In the tales. In order to bring the matter before the Legislature In Its best light, Judge Fort had thoroughly studied the question, and when his bill was made a law he followed Its enforce ment with a great deal of interest; and, outside of the commissioners and railroad men themselves, is probably the best posted man In the State on railroad legislation Then, too, the three commls- . ____ . sloners have always been residents | GLOVER S OPERA HOUSE of the Northern portion of Georgia, your liver Inactive?
