Tin; queen is holding down her young grandson to pure English this visit. She is inspecting his manuscript to pre vent his getting in any “it. R. B.” her. 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 WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAY. 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.
