A max out in Colorado has just been
awarded $100,000 for the alienation of
his wife’s aifectious. The jurors in the
case must ha\e all been happily married
men.
Fi;om the contlicii.ig reports which
come from Bar Harbor the public may
expert almost any moment to hear of the
secretary’s death or that he has beaten
the record in a standing high jump.
11 is now in order for the average
Americuser to remark that “Socksy”
Simpson will “knock the socks off” the
enemies of the alliance next Tuesday
when he turns himself loose at the rally.
On Thursday, The Times-Recorijeh
predicted that Mr. D. C. N. Burkhalter
would be the next state senator from
this district. The Times-Recobdrb
firmly believes that this prediction will
be verified.
Rates of freight are classified with
some referencejto the value, or risk of
transporting the goods. This is not true
of coal howover, the freight being whol
ly disproportionate to the cost. There
is ample room for a revision of rates by
the commission, with ample justice done
to both railroads and consumers.
The railroads did not rush blindly
into the jaws of destruction when they
raised the coal rate; for it seems that
they did so strictly in conformity with
the tariffs laid down by the commission
ers. It is now in order for the kicking
public to jump upon the commission
and see that they revise their tariff pre
liminary to any further demands upon
the transportation lines.
Those who believe that New York
Democrats are all worshipers of the
golden calf, read these words from that
eminent Democratic organ, the Albany
Times: “Government should receive all
bullion offered for coinge, both gold and
silver, and should coin all equally, with
no charge against one more than the
other. Then there would be money
enough for business, and the rate of in
terest would bo reasonable.”
Every day the able Constitution en
gages in the undertaking of nominating
‘ and electing Governor-Senator Hill of
New York to the presidency, while the
balance of the press of the south con
tinue with equal unanimity to do the
same turn for Grover Cleveland. The
THE COMMISSION AND COAL BATES.
On to-morrow the railroads will ap
pear before the Railroad Commission, as
cited, to make reply in the matter of the
complaint of the manufacturers of Geor
gia at the recent advance in coal freight#.
This citation is merely a matter of
form, and is made more in response to
the popular clamor than because any
authority lies in the commission to
order a reduction of the present coal
rates.
The fact is, and this may be surpris
ing Information to many, the railroads
are charging just the tariff allowed by
the commission and no more; and all that
the roads need to do, on appearing be
fore the commission, is to show this
fact, and the matter is at an end.
The recent advance was not an in
crease of the rate allowed by the Geor
gia commission; that has been at the
maximum all the while; but the lower
rates heretofore prevailing were the re
sult of a reduction of that part of the
through rates in the states of Alabama
and Tennessee, over which the Georgia
commission has no control; and the late
raise is simply an advance of that part
of the rate located in Alabama and Ten
nessee, the combination of which with
the Georgia rates makes the through
rates from the mines to Georgia points.
The commissioners of Alabama and
Tennessee cannot reach the through
rate, nor even their pro rata thereof,
there is no delivery in these states upon
which to base a complaint;
hence so long as the Terminal
system does not raise the Georgia part
of the through rate above the maximum
fixed for the Georgia part of the haul,
there Ues no complaint in this state.
And for the reason already stated, no
complaint can be made to the Alabama
or Tennessee commissions, and because
the complainants do not live in those
states.
All that the Georgia commission can
do therefore is to amend their tariff, and
reduce the maximum allowed for the
Georgia pro rata; and that is wliat they
should do promptly.
This interstate question is,however,one
full of complications; and can properly
be dealt with only by the National Rail
road Commission, who have power to fix
rates from any point in one state to any
point in other states. The right step is
therefore being taken by the governor f

The sleeping car service between
Thomasville and Monticeilo has been
discontinued.
The Montezuma Record speaks of a
twin watermelon which is joined In
closer unity than the Siamese twins.
Both grew on the same vine.
Gen. John McIntosh Kell has issued
an order that there will be no more en
campment this year. The boys who
failed to get in time will probably be
given the first round next year.
Several gentlemen in Thomasville who
live close,to each other and are some dis
tance from the engine house, have
bought two hundred of feet of hose and
formed a private fire company for their
own protection.
