Atlanta, Sept. 10. —l*ort rates ait' again to !»• considered I>v tin•, Kail road Commission. Tina time it is port rat*** on cotton, and rate* to instead of ralos from tin- ports. Jt is not formor (.Jnv. Smith's latter urging cotton rate redue-, lion which brings tln> quest ion I now to the Commission's atten tion, tin' the complaint, of the > Milledgcvillc Compress Company against the Central of li«orgin and the tieorgia Kail road, which was argued before the Cunimis sion a few days ago. It this case tlm complainants asked the commission to re<|tiire these railroad companim- to put in established rates on cotton, both compressed and “soft," from M illedgeville to the ports, a re.pinst which not only involves the particular rates asked, hut which opens up flic whole question of rates on cotton between other jaunts and the ports and the question of dill'erential rate on compi'essed ami uncompressed or soft cotton. There is involved also t he ques tion o| the relations between the railroad companies of the state and certain compressing com panies, in which it is ulleged the railroads grant privileges to some companies of tins kind which they now refuse to grant t>> others, notably the M illedgeville com pany. It will be apparent that the ease is one of wide and significant importaucc, and the Commission has, therefore, set it down for a special hearing on Nov. 10, giv ing more than the full thirty days notice required I >y law. Cotton exchanges, boards of trade and other organisations which may l»e interested in the general subject are also invited to ap|>ear and present such evi dence us may be relevant.

The railroads of Virginia an lioinice that they will eo-ojierate with tin- good roads movement jn that state hy hauling all road' material at the aetual cost of transportation, and that men and machinery necessary for road building will be hauled entirely free. 'J'his is a wise and enlightened policy on tin- part of the railroads of Virginia and can not fail to bring excellent results. In certain sections <>t the state, as in every other state, road materials are abundant, but in ‘other sections it is scarce and per haps has to be brought from some distance. The cost of transport ing this material has been a serious factor in the development of good roads in some of the I states and this hits been particu- 1 larly true, we are told, in Mary land and Virginia. The generous offer of the rail roads in the latter state to carry the materials at cost and the men and machinery free will give a igrdht impetus to road improve ment, and at the same time the railroads are consulting their own best interests in doing this work. The railroads dearly realize that good roads contribute im measurably to their own pros perity. When the transportation facilities over the dirt roads are bad during a large part of the year the railroads are constantly between u feast and a famine. For several months hi the year they have more business than they can attend to along their lines, and then when the winter season | settles down and the roads become I impassable they have no freight at all from many of the stations along the line. (rood roads will bring (he conn- ' try districts in touch with the markets at all seasons of the year and will give the railroads a year round business on whieh they can count with a reasonable degree of certainty. Whenever it can be done it is hoped that tile railroads will fol low t.lie example of the railroads 1 of Virginia.—Atlanta Journal. JESUP OFFICER PROBABLY KILLED BY BLOW OVER HIS HEART. Jesitp, (.la., Sept. 10. — Marshal <l. I!. Pope dropped dead here at U p. 111. this afternoon after a spirit ed fight with three boys, Edward, 1 Brantley and Jimmie Tyre, who live about nine miles from here in t In* country. I’lie three Tyre hoys had been parading tin* streets making them selves generally obnoxious to the citizens. When Marshal Pope approached tiiem they drew knives, it. is st.at- I ed, and a general tight, ensued,! but by the aid of a numher of' citizens E«1 ward Tyre was disarm ed ami carried to jail. Just, as Marshal Pope walked a few steps, leaving the jail, lie fell dead. The ot her t wo Tyre hoys jumped inn wagon ami tried so leave town, bill they were intercepted! by citizens and locked up. Feeling is intense and no sym pathy is expressed for the Tv re Ih >vs. No one was cut in the fruv, hut it is believed 11*at Marshal Pope received a blow over the heart heart that caused his death. E\-Marshal \\ . R. Williams was promptly appointed as mar shal by Mayor ii B. Hopps, and with the assistance of several citizens he haiid-cutfed the three- Tyre boys ami took them from the town ealaboose to the countv jail, where they are now confined. Jim mie and Brantley Tyre are sons of George Tyre, a prominent farm er and county commissioner of Wayne county. Edward is a cousin ot the other two boy*. Seed Oats For Sale. 1 Appier Seed Oats.

I bad pains in my left side, and under my shoulder blade, could not sleep on the left side, and was so short of breath the least exertion would bring on the most distress ing palpitation. I had scarcely taken a half bottle of the Heart Remedy before I could see a marked change in my condition. \\ ben I had taken six bottles I , was cured.” MRS. C. C. GORKEY, N'ortbrield, Va. If there is fluttering or palpi . tation it is an indication of a . weakness of the nerves and mus cles of the heart. It is not neces sarily diseased—just weak from over-work. The heart may be weak just the same as the eyes, stomach or other organs. You can make a weak heart strong 1 by taking Dr. Miles' Heaft Rem edy. Get a bottle from your druggist, take it according to di rections, and if it does not bene fit he will return your money. Stray Hogs.
