PUBLIC WILL PAY THE FREIGHT
Property owners throughout
the United States are to be as
sessed in order that the insurance
companies may pay the enormous
losses in Frisco without any loss to
themselves. In other words, all
insurance rates are to be advanced
by the companies thus “stuck,”
and the public will “pay the
freight.” This means that the
people of Georgia will soon be
called upon by the Southeastern
Tariff Association to pay a greater
premium for their protection
against fire. Some of the larger
companies, it is said, have with
drawn from the association that
first advanced the rates, but the
most of them were willing to see
the new rate go into effect.

AGAIN TrtE PORT RATE CASE
In his recent speech in Bryan
county, Hoke Smith returned
again to the port rate case. This
is Atlanta’s “strong point” and
the freight bureau of that city has
been forcing this issue at all times.
It will be remembered that Mr.
Smith took up this question at
Waynesboro and the Savannah
Press gave a full report of that
part of his address. Mr. Smith is
supposed to voice the grievance of
Atlanta when he says that “the
reduced rates from Eastern points
to the ports, coupled with the low
rates that could be obtained by
shippers when they selected their
own ships for water transporta
tion, would give a combined rate
to Georgia points much less than
the through rates now charged.”
Mr. Joseph M. Brown wrote a
strong answer to this part of Mr.
Smith’s speech.
He showed that the port rates
Mr. Smith had asked for “to en
able Atlanta to extend her trade
in Georgia territory” were less
than the proportioned between
Savannah and Atlanta on the
through rates given between Bos
ton and Atlanta. Mr. Brown add
ed that it was not unusual to
m ike between two points in a state
rates which were lower than the
proportions between the same two
points of a long through haul.-
Mr. Brown further showed that if
these port rates were given from
Savannah to Atlanta they would
have to be given from Savannah
to other Georgia cities.
Mr. Brown insisted that if Mr.
Hoke Smith’s co-intentions were
allowed the state railroad commis
sion would have to grant an un
heard of proposition and bankrupt
the roads. The port rate asked
for, he thought, was uot a just and
reasonable rate. The rate which
Atlanta is asking for is lower than
the rate granted by the railroad
commission for a like distance in
any of the Southern states.
Mr. Brown says that conditions
do not prevail in Atlanta requii -
iugsuch drastic reductions.
Mr. Smith went on to say in
Bryan county that Col. Estill had
used his influence to prevent the
granting of these rates. Col. Es
till did in his paper what the Sa
vannah Press, the Chamber of
Commerce and the other trade
bodies in Savannah did—protest
ed against the granting of rates
which would give Atlanta trade
territory at the expense of Savau
nah and other points in Georgia.
The Chamber of Commerce in Sa
vannah took steps to block this
one-sided movement of the Atlan
ta freight bureau.
In the stove rate case and other
cases Savannah showed how un
iust and illogical was the conten
tion of Mr. Hoke Smith and the
Atlanta freight bHreau. Savan
nah enjoyed certain advantages on
account of the Ocean Steamship
Company and her harbor, which
all of Georgia got the benefit of in
lower freight rates from the East.
Mr. Smith’s argument, if carried
out, would have the effect of plac
ing Atlanta ahead of any interior
point in Georgia and of nullifying
the effect of low water rates from
the East. Colonel Estill’s position
is endorsed by Savannah and the
whole state in the matter of freight
rates. —Savannah Press.
HALF Or TRAIN RAN OVER CHILD
But the Little One Miraculously Es
caped Death.
Greenville, S. C., May 5. —The es
cape of the 2-year-old child of D. B.
Nelson, living near Fountain Inn, 20
miles from Greenville, on the Charles
ton and Western Carolina road, from
a horrible death, was miraculous.
The engineer did not see the small
form on the track until it was too late
to stop his train. The pilot struck
ti e child and knocked it down be
tween the crossties and the engine,
tender and half the train passed over
the body before being stopped.
The child was taken from under the
train and was unconscious but slight
ly bruised, and it. soon recovered con
sciousness. The engine was detached
from the train and the child was
placed on it and hurried back to Foun
tain Inn for medical attention. Physi
cians found that the injuries sustain
ed were not serious.

The Publishers of Webster’s international
Dictionary allege that it “is, in faet.the popu
lar Unabridged thoroughly re-edited in every
detail, and vastly enriched in every part, ■with
the purpose of adapting it to meet the larger
and severer requirements of another genera
tion.”
We are of the opinion that this allegation
most clearly and accurately describes the
work that nas been accomplished and the
result that has been reached. The Dictionary,
as it now stands, has been thoroughly re
edited in every detail, has been corrected in
every part, and is admirably adapted to meet
the larger and severer requirements of a
generation which demands more of popular
philological knowledge than any generation
that the world has ever contained.
It is perhaps needless to add that we refer
to the dictionary in our judicial work as of
the highest authority in accuracy of defini

will be the source of constant reference.
