Connell Library Association, will
make his appearance here on next

ment to bp given at the school
house. About a dozen of our

and 1905, have made them a
guarantee of an amount that will
not be easily raised, and they as

the people ot the town should
give it their support, as such en
tertainments are not given only
under a guarantee. Now that they
have arranged for high class en
tertainments lets all turn out and
lend encouragement to the move
ment.
We give below a few of his en
dorsements, all of which go to
show that Mr. Pearce is unques

J. C. Oliver, Prin. Schools.
To say that Earl Ward Pearce delighted
his audience here yesterday evening fails
to do justice to the versatility and mas
tery of his art. Mr. Pearce was at once
invited to return with the assurance of a
larger attendance on his next appear
ance. F. P\ Rowe,
Pres. Lee Inst., Thomaston, Ga.
Culloden, Ga., April 14.
The entertainments given by Mr.

pily combined, giving a round of wit and
laughter and yet at the same time plenty
of food for study and thought. Don’t

Jesse T. Jolly,
Supt. Culloden Schools.
We publish the following
item with reference to freight
rates on syrup to some of the
leading points in Ga. This is a
matter of great importance to
the merchants, and farmers as
well, for such advantages to all
the leading markets would lend
great aid to our merchants in
placing same to an advantage
for themselves, which means
the farmer would derive his ben
efit also. We trust that the
next legislature will get in be
hind this matter, and see what
can be done in the way of rates
to the “Carolina’s”, the present
one is quite unreasonable so we
have been informed:
“The complaint involved the
rate on syrup and cane products
from Cairo, Ga., as a base. The
rate on syrup from Cairo to At
lanta and other Georgia points
has been 23^ cents, as against
U cents to Birmingham and
Montgomery, The roads were
ordered to submit a new sched
ule of rates by today, or the
commission declared it would
make rates of its own.
The railroads replied, agree
ing to make the rate to Atlanta
and Augusta 21 cents. This
was not acceptable to the com
mission, and the following rates
on syrup from Cairo were or
dered by that body: To Atlanta,
Macon and Augusta, 17 cents;
to Savannah and Columbus 15
cents.
