HOGGISH JOBBERS !
AT THE BOTTOM.
The answer made by Commis
sioner McLendon to the reasons
given hy Governor Smith for his
suspension seem quite convincing.
Especially is this true as to the
charge that he betrayed the in
terests of the people in refusing
to vote for the reduced rates
favored hy the governor. In as
much as two other commission
ers voted the same way it is dif
ficult to appreciate the logic that
lead to the suspension of the one
and the retention of the other. He
that as it may, the statement
made hy Commissioner McLendon
more than ever serves to convince j
one that Governor Smith was
actuated hy a feeling of personal
bitterness against the commis
sioner, and perhaps equally as
much hy the conviction that it
would he a good political pluy to
suspend him. -
Cumin issioner M cLe n d on’s
■nteuients prove conclusively that
the petition that was turned ■
down hy him and the two coin-;
missionerH siding with him, was
solely intended in its practical
efleets to build up the interests
of a few Atlanta wholesale houses
at the expense of the business of
other jobbers at other Georgia
points. Back of the petition for
u reduction on the rutes from Sa
vannah t<> Atlanta was the pur
pose on the part of the Atlanta
jobbers to hog as much more of
the business of the state as pos
sible*. The two Atlanta commis
sioners sympathized with them
in this and voted for them. The
other throe, representing other
sections of the state, could not
convince themselves that it was
their duty to promote the in
terests of Atlanta at a sacrifice ot
the business interests ot other
cities, and they voted down the
proposition. This case illustrates
more than ever the danger of al
lowing any one city to have more
than one member of the Commis
sion. If the Commission is re
constructed one of the Atlanta
commissioners should he cut out
and given to some other im
portant point. Only in this way
••an there he a proper safeguard
of the interests of other cities, an
ns assurance that the commission
will not he worked for the benefit
of Atlunta alone.
Commissioner McLendon shows
that Gov. Smith never saw the
record in the case that was de
cided adversely to Atlanta’s hog
gish instincts. There are five
hundred pages to it, and the
record, he points out. clearly de
monstrates that seltish motives
alone lay at the foundation of the
request for a reduction in the
rates from Savannah to Atlanta.
The secretary and treasurer of
the Heck A’ Gregg Hardware Co.,
the petitioners for the reduced
rates, stated emphatically that
lie saw no reason why the reduced
rates should apply to other points
tlmn Atlanta, lie stated that if
the rates wen* reduced from Sa
vannah to Atlanta his concern j
would he better able to meet the
competition of other Georgia
points and could increase its bus
iness from $1,1)00,000 to $H,*
000,000 a year. This increase of j
$l,f)00,000 a year would naturally
come from inroads on the busi-1
ness of the hardware dealers of
Americas, Albany, Macon, Co
luinhus and other trading points, j

SILVEY SPEER OBTAINS:
FIRST DIVORCE VFJRDICT.
Atlanta, Ga. July <L—Based j
ufton her testimony that 9he was i
drugged at the time of her mar-!
riage with Russell J. Thomas, her.
father’s chauffeur and did not
know what she was doing, Mrs.
Silvey Speer Thomas, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Speer, of
this city, granddaughter of the
late John Silvey and heiress to
more than a million, was granted
a first verdict for complete di-
I vorce in the Fulton superior
J court.
The jury, after hearing the
statement of young Mrs. Thomas,
gave her the verdict without leav
ing their seats. Russell Thomas,
who is said to he attending a
technological school in the east,
j did not appear to defend the suit.
The sensational marriage of
Silvey Speer and Russell Thomas,
who drove her father’s automo
| bile, took place September 28,
I'.JOH, following which they went
to Charlotte, N. C., where
they were overtaken hy Mrs.
Speer, who brought her daughter
home. She wuh then 17 years of
age. Attorney Reuben Arnold
said it would he shown that Miss
Speer had been drugged and
tricked into the marriage.
Rev. H. A. Atkinson, who per
formed the ceremony, stated he
did so upon the statement ot
Thomas’ father that the young
Indy’s parents had given their
I consent. William Speer testified
he had never given anyone au
thority over his doughter as
guardian.
Mrs. Speer testified her daugh
ter was delighted to come hack
|to Atlanta with her and to leave
Thomas and said nil the next day
she was ill and in a dazed condi
tion.
The evidence of young Mrs.
Thomas was presented hy deposi
-1! tion.
Asked: “Did Thomas ever make
love to you?” she replied: “He
did attempt to toll me how much
he thought of inn, I did not know
what he was attempting to drive
at. ”
“Asked: “Did he over make a
proposal of marriage to you?”
she replied, “Yes,' ho made such
[ a propsition to me on one occa
sion while we were in the automo
bile. I told him I would not
marry him nml that he had bet
ter not let father know he had
made such a request, lie replied
that my father was in the way of
our marriage and that my father
had better look out.”
Further on she testified that
the elder Thomas, W. B- Thomas,
Russell’s father, had called her
up over the telephone several
days prior to the marriage and
told her she had better marry his
son or he would kill her fath-
Jer and ruin her. She said W. B.
Thomas again called her up and
told her to meet him and Russell
at. the Marietta car line, but
she diil not do so. On the morn
ing of September 28, after she
had declined to meet them, she
says the elder Thomas, accom
; pained by Russell, came to th°
point where she got ofl the car
; to g" to Washington Seminary,
in an automobile, and took her
I into it.
“I was frightened out of my
senses,” she said. “The elder
{Thomas said lie had a tonic with
1 him and gave me a tablet of some
thing. 1 did not know what, and 1
took it. Soon afterward 1 became
dizzy and did not recollect any
thing more. I had a vague re
membrance of being at a church
and getting on a fain. 1 did not,
come to myself until we were
several miles out of Atlanta. I
asked Russell where we were and
In* told me that we had been mar
ried. 1 never consented to marry i
him, and 1 did not want to marry
, him. At the time of the marriage
l
1 was so afflicted with fright and
{drugs that 1 did not know what 1
was doing.”
Thomas was not represented
(either in person or by attorney
and upon this evidence the decree
j of divorce was granted.

However, I finally went to you,
