To the Farmers of Georgia:
As the time is rapidly approaching
lor the hearing, this is perhaps the
last opportunity I will lufvo to repeat
to you my warning heretofore given
through the daily and weekly press of
the State with reference to the danger
that confronts you In the proposal to
m rease freight rates on many pro
ducts handled by the railroads of Geor
gia. in which you are directly Inter
ested.
The hearing before the State Rail
road Commission will take place be
ginning Monday. June 26th. While I
have no doubt whatever that the mem
bers of the Georgia Railroad Commis
sion will do everything within their
power to protect the agricultural in
terests of this State, It is nevertheless
essential that they should be thor
oughly Informed upon conditions and
know exactly how these projxwed rates
are going to affect you, your products
ar<d the commodities which you use on
the farm.
Already some of the county and
district agricultural clubs have ap
pointed representatives to come here
and appear for their organizations and
the farmers generally, when these
hearings are held. But what the
farmers of Georgia ought to have be
fore this commission is organized rep
resentation. and a proper presentation
|«.f their side of the question from soms
jone who knows how to present it and
can make the presentation with their
! authority.
| It will be well, perhaps, for these
| comity and district club repreaenta-
J ti\es to get ogether in a meeting when
they come to Atlanta, plan th^lr cam
paign and appoint some capable per
son to state their case to the Rail
road Commission. Every county in
Georgia which can possibly do so,
ought to send a representative to thlj
hearing and join in such plan as may
be made thgoroughly to acquaint the
