I HE ADVOCATE - U t M DC R A1 i
'Published Every Friday Morning by
* J. C. WILLIAMS.
Official Organ of Taliaferro County.
Crawfordviile is to have naore
light oil the situation.
It is mighty easy for a man to
make excuses for his candidate.
The Augusta Chronicle wants
the legislature to make usury a
orirne in Georoia. Now, here’s
a reform that really need’s at¬
tention, and we favor such a
law.
Home of the politicians in
this state, who contend that the
administration of affairs are in a
had way, are merely looking at
matters through spectacles that
are selfishly or mentally fogged,
It now transpires that some
eminent gentlemen have been so
busy guarding the state’s honor
from corruption by public offi¬
cials, that they were very care¬
less about their own.
The Sparta Iehmaelite speaks
of .loo Hall as an anti-prohibition
reformer. The IshmaHite cer¬
tainly hasn’t the nerve a id gall
to call its candidate a prohibition
reformer.
liov. J. M. Atkinson, of the
Harlem Sentinel, says he failed
to see this paper, several issues
ago, when wo asked him the
question as to what he thought
of Ins candidate'*] barroom at¬
tachment.

must use tut (ta¬
xons. He was a Confederate
soldier and a gentleman of the
old school.
We hoar it rumored that Judge
E-H. Callaway will also enter
the race for Congress in this
district. Judge Callawey is rec¬
ognized as an able man. and,
should ho decide to enter, would
prove a strong factor in the
race,
If iis right for a man to own
a third interest in a barroom in
Atlanta, it is aliight for a man
to own an entire interest in a
barroom at Crawfordviile or
Sharon. And, the man who
says lie th nk> otherwise argues
himself ridiculous in the e\ as
of an intelligent citizenry.
The railroads should be made
to pay every cent of taxes they
owe and they should be given no
special privileges. At the same
time this everlasting war
against railroads at all times and
under all circumstances, be¬
comes tiresome to those who be¬
lieve railroads have rights as
well as people. The above is a
sensible and timely remark by
the Athens Banner.
Ma!or C. E. McGregor, of
Warreuton. has announced his
candidacy for Congress to suc¬
ceed Hon. T. W. Hardwick. He
will run in the primary as a Jef¬
fersonian Democrat, and it is
said lie will have the active and
warm support of Hon. Thos. E.
Watson. The race between
M ijor McGregor ami Congress
man Hardwick will be alive one,
and the old Tenth will be the
political center of attraction as
usual.
RAILWAY RATES AND PAY.
Employees and Hoards of Trade
opposes the Esch-Townsend
Bill.
(From the Railroad Record.)
It would take a cotton crop of
fifteen and a half million bales
at 10 cents a pound to pay all
the railroad employes of the
United States their wages for
one year. The roads have a
million four hundred thousand
employes in the whole country.
In Georgia they have .23,500
employes and within 200 of the
same number in Alabama. The
wages in each state am out to
just about one million dollars a
month or twelve millions a year.
They spend three million more
for fuel, oil and taxes in Georgia.
They have spent four million
dollars in and around Atlanta on
permanent improvements in the
last eighteen months. One road
is spending two million dollars
ti build a new line through north
Georgia. Other roads are spend¬
ing enormus sums in other parts
of the State on new stations, side
tracks, cutting down grades and
increasing their facilities.
The average pay of railway
employes in the United Stated is
$131 per day as against 71 cents
in England, 57 cents in Germany
and 52 cents in France. In Germ¬
any and France the governments
own most of the roads.
The brotherhood of Locomo¬
tive Engineers, Firemen, Con¬
ductors and trainmen all over
the country are petitioning Con¬
gress not to give any Com¬
mission power to fix rates.
A great many Chambers
of Commerce, Boards of
Trade and shippers are doing
the same thing.
_
H * the and the
shippers object on the ground
that the roads would be so ham.
pered by red tape and cast iron
rules that th$y could not continue
to develop and grow as they will
do if left free to to deal with the
shippers like any other business.
It is the policy of American
roads to help the producer reach
distant markets, whether he be a
cotton planter, manufacturer, a
western grain farmer, lumber¬
man or anybody else.
This poliey aids the develop¬
ment of all parts of the country.
For example, the Southern
lumberman, cotton and fruit
farmer and manufacturers could
not begin to sell their products
in their home markets. They
have to ship long distances and
they have to get lower rates pro¬
portionately on long hauls than
on short ones. When gover
ments make rates they have to
make their rates according to
distanco.
The Congressional race in
this district will have a tendency
to change the aspect of the
gubernatorial race, so far as
some people are concerned.
