REEVES, PRODUCING THE EVIDENCE OF RAILROAD ROBBERY. Charging 36 Cents Freight From Savannah to Bar* nesville and only 22 Cents From Savan* nah to Atlanta. The letter below, written by Mr. \V. 11. Brewer, of GrifTin, to his local paper, will be road with great interest, by the people here as they are deeply concerned in the facts therein putforth. “Editor News and Sun: —Hav- ing charged the railroads of Geor gia with robbing the people and the Georgia rail mad commission with holding while the railroads rob, I submit the following proofs to sustain the charge: “Rule 5 of the Georgia railroad commission says for distances un der 20 miles or over 250 a reduc tion of rates mny be mudo with out making a change at all sta tions short of 250 miles; provided, however, that when any railroad shall make a reduction of rates for distance over 250 miles the same shall apply to similar distances on all roads controlled by the same company, and in no case shall more be charged for a less than a greater distance. “The railroads have in viola tion of this rule reduced the rate on sugar from Savannah to At lanta to 22 cents per hundred pounds and charge 80 cents to Barnesville and 2G cents to Grif fin—Barnesville and Griffin being the shorter distances. “When property is taken by one person from another by force un lawfully it is robbery. This the railroads are doing, therefore the charge of robbery is fully made out. “Section 7 of the act creating the Georgia railroad commission makes it their duty to investigate HARDWARE FARM IMPLEMENTS CUTLERY GARDEN TOOLS EDGE TOOLS STOVES, RANGES GARDEN HOSE CREAM FREEZERS POTTERY AMERICAN FIELD FENCING USK’S WARRANTED ANTI-RUST TINWARE REPUTABLE PAINTS GLASSWARE PURE LINSEED OIL, BRUSHES, ETC. up* gEJrr-*, IJ- E>. HIGHTOWER the books and papers of all the railroads doing business in the state, t o ascertain if the rules and regulations have been complied with. Ido not charge the Geor gia railroad commission with knowingly permitting the rail roads to violate their rules. If unknowingly, they have failed to perform the duty required of them by Section 7. But whether know ingly or unknowingly, they are holding while the railroads rob. “The railroad commission should be elected by the people, to whom they would be responsible for their acts. It should no longer be a plum for a governor to pay a po litical debt with, who might be indebted to the railroads for his election. It is an office created for the protection of the people | and they should have the privi lege ol choosing the commission ers. “I have been told by railroad ot llicinls no kicks were coining from other places against the railroads or the Georgia railroad commis sion. 1 replied that so far as I was concerned 1 would endeavor to protect the rights of Griffin so long as the merchants honor me with the office of the Griffin Board of Trade.” W. 11.

MC6INTY RETURNS THANKS. Please allow me to express my thanks to the good people of Pike county who stood by me in the recent campaign for their kindness to me and their undaunted courage when the conllict was being press ed upon me from a pure selfish motive by my opponents. I came out with a clean hand and a light heart. My opponents misrepre sented me and thereby weakened me at many points, but I thank God that I misrepresented not one of them and in every instance where I found a man who had pledged himself to anyone of my opponents, advised that he regard his pledge as sacr and, and fulfill his obligations. Not one man in the county can deny that. And now may God bless the good peo ple who stood by me and not only them, hut the deluded ones, and I also ask his blessings on those who strove so hard to injure me and I trust that they may learn a lesson from the past that will not be forgotten soon. Very respectfully, R. W. McGinty. Lifsey, April 23.

Several of the merchants of the city will close their places of business at 0 o’clock in the af afternoon, beginning the first day of May and continuing during the summer months. This is a move in the right direction. Every merchant in town should take this step. The business men can easily afford to do this as there is very little trade going after that hour in the afternoon that could not just as well be done before, 'i’he working forces of the store are entitled to this consideration and the merchants should gladly grant them this slight relief from theirduties in the afternoon and we feel sure that the favor will be thoroughly appreciated Gy them. A petition will be circulated among the merchants within a few days and we would urge every one of them to sign it. LETTER TO EDWARD ELDER. Dear Sir:—A gallon saved is $4 or $5 earned.

As good cake can be made only with good eggs, so also a cake that is health ful as well as dainty must be raised with a purb and perfect baking powder. Royal Baking Powder is indispensable in the preparation of the highest quality *of food. It imparts that peculiar light ness, sweetness and flavor noticed in the finest cake, biscuit, doughnuts, crusts, etc., and what is more important, renders the food wholesome and agreeable to young and old.
