"The agitation against the railroads
to the South Is not without causo
or reason,” said Allison Mayfield,
chairman of the railroad commission
of Texas, at the Raleigh. "That there
have ben many abuses on the part of
the railroads and discriminations
against farmers Is not to be doubted,
but the question to my mind Is
whether it Is wise to take the dras
tic measures against the roads that
some of the States are now resorting
to.
“The railroads are absolutely nec
essary: we cannot get along without
them. In Texas the railroad commis
sion has the power to fix rates, both
freight and passenger, but before we
nmko a rate we are careful to inves
tigate tho financial condition and
earning capacity of the road. So
far we have only taken action in
one case to reduce both freight and
passenger rates. As a rule, a rail
road does not make much out of
Its passenger service, and relics al
most entirely for Its profits on Its
freight traffic.
“I believe the laws of Arkansas,
Georgia, and North Carolina will be
modified to many respects after
enreful investigation has been made.
I understand an Investigation is now
going on here. The unparalled
prosperity of the country has made
the demand for trains so great that
the railroads have been utterly un
able to supply enough cars. But if
the railroads are now compelled to
suffer from drastic legislation they
have only themselves to blame to a
large measure, because of their ac
tions of the past I am confident that
the present agitation will result in
much good no,t only for the people,
but for the railroads also."—Wash

WAREHOUSE BROKE

L. G. Council [Gets 426
Bales Cotton.
L. G. Council’s warehouse broke all
its previous records yesterday in
the receipts of cotton. The total

tion to this, nome twenty-five bales
were inside the weighing room which
could not be reached for lack of
time.
In smashing their former records
for tho size of receipts every oue

kept busy from early morning until

unable to find time to eat between

PRESIDENT HANSON S
VIGOROUS TALK
On Subject of Ga. Railroad
Legislation.
SAVANNAH, GA., October 12.—
(Special)—In a speech given at a
smoker of the Chamber of Commerce
to Savannah, Friday night, Maj.
F. Hanson , President of the Central
of Georgia, to an impromptu speech
expressed his views as to railroad
legislation to Georgia. He was asked
to give his opinion of that body
"which is trying to run tho railroads
on an experience limited to the pur
chase of a ticket or the securing of
a free pass.”
The speech of Maj. Hanson was
something of a surprise for its vig
orous statement of the situation. It
was to the nature of a turning upon
his tormentors.
"For several years certain pollti
clans and newspapers have worked
day and night,” he said, "to build
up a sentiment adverse to railroads
in this state. To such an extent has
this prejudice gone that men have
been taught to and do believe that
between railroads and capital
one hand and tho people on the other
there Is a conflict that cannot be
quelled except through the passage
and operation of legislation that will
destroy these interests.”
Maj. Hanson said that this state
has an administration which has
adopted a policy so piejudical to the
railroads that even the Governor does
not approve. He declared that there
has been no effort to check tho effect
lhat has been wrought by the broad
cast spreading of these errors. He
said legislative committees persist
ently turned deaf ears to all the
facts that the Central Railway rep
resentatives presented, that the com
mittees “paid no more attention
the presentation of facts thnn they
did to the blowing of the wind."
He then turned his attention to
the inability of his road to build
the shops at Macon which have been
projected, and which are necessary
to order to keep tho company's equip
ment on the rails.

FINAL GAME.
DETROIT, MICH., October 12.—
(Special)—With the thermometer at
43 and a cold wind blowing, the
Chicago Cubs took the final game
of the world's championships series
from the Detroit Tigers today by a
score of 2 to 0. The crowd was rather
small on ocount of the biting weather.
Chance was unable to play due to
injury to his fingers the day be
fore. Chicago, representing the Nat
ional has won tho championship from
Detroit, of tho American League.
TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.
Lack of Money.
This failure to carry out these
plans, he said, Is due to the lack of
money, the shortage of which Is due
to weakened credit of the company,
which has been Induced by the op
pressive tactics of the Legislature.,
"How are these improvements to
be made?” he asked with much feel
ing. “Will the demagogues put up
the money? Did they ever put up
a cent for the betterment of the
country, or any Interest save a sel
fish one. Aro they worth tho des
truction of the credit which they|
have wrought? Are the demagogues
worth the price you are paying?"
Roosevelt nnd Demagogues.
'This war which has been waged
for five months on corporations, led
by President Roosevelt, with all the
demagogues in the country at his
heels, has destroyed the value of pro-
erty to this country one-fifth,” he
said.
He then reviewed how for more
than thirty years he fios devoted his
whole time and energy to the de-
South, only to see it seriously mcn-
South, only to seel t seriously men
aced at this time by an adverse sen
timent which is backed by Ignorance,
demagogy and mlslnformatloh. Dur
ing these long years he has strug
glod, he said, to build up a credit as
good as the credit of any corporation
to the country. He declared that
the Central is managed as judicious
ly and ns wisely ns any railroad East
of the Mississippi or South of the
Potomac river.

Before concluding his talk with a
passionate appeal for a more kindly
feeling toward the systems rep
resents, Maj. Hanson asserted tbat
"the Central neither has money, nor
can it borrow it, to do the things
that must be done. We are powerless
to make any Improvements. If the
sensible and conservative people don’t
come to the rescue some of the op
pressed railroads will certainly be
forced Into the hands of a receiver.”
He said the Central officials are be
ing blackguarded for appealing to
federal courts fer protection. “We
had to go to some source where facto
would be considered.” he said.
