■
The railroads entering Georgia's
capLai have ail refused to comply
with the ruling of the state railroad
commission that ireight rates from
Ohio river crossings to Atlanta be put
on an equitable basis as compared
with rates to other southern cities. !
This action of the railroads was j
formal and deliberate, taking the form
of written letters to the commission ! |
filed with that body in Atlanta E'ri- 1
day morning. ;
The i ne ngm fight for fair iau freight ueigm rates . "or ui (
Atlanta has now shaped itself into a 1
twofold proposition. The Georgia rail- |
road rni . ( j commission commission has na b Dled^ed pleaded use itself r to to ! ,
enforce just, latr «n»t equitable local
rates where shipments Lr„ go out of Geor

has fixed September 7 as the day upon
which 1 it 1 will consider and dKeuss the I
last step ot the railroads, . and the i At
lanta freight bureau* in the name of
w whirh “ ,ch ,hr fair a rates iaus crusade sa e was . and
5s being waged, will probably take no
further steps until the railroad com
mission has expressed itself alter the
meeting of September 7.
The railroads refusing to comolv
wiih the commission’s rulings are:
The Southern, the Nashville. Chat
.anooga and , c. -t. Louis, . ... the Georgia, „ .
the Seaboard Air Line, the Central of
.l.e Atlanta , and W«t
Point.
.
The formal refusal of the railroads
purport to set forth .. the . reasons or ex
cuses upon which they base their ac
lion in the matter, ’ these excuses be
ing different in each letter filed Frt
riav. ’ Some of the roads assert tnat
they u have no voice m a fixing lites „ , ..
Ohio river crossings to Atlanta, al
though a part of the haul is made over
their lines. Other roads declare that
to carry out the orders of the com
mission mission would ouia bo m r a r^-adjustrnont . J ot
freight rates of such magnitude that.
it would create endless confusion and
he practically impossible. Again, it
is asserted that it is not fair to give
Atlanta the same rates as
ham, because “there is competition to
Birmingham such as does not exist in
Atlanta.” Another road states plainly
that it refuses to obey the commis
sion because in so doing it would lose
revenue.

MbNROE QL1CKLY VAN0L1SHED.
Champion Pugiiiit Jelfries Has Easy Mark
in the Montana Miner.
A San Francisco dispatch says;
Like the veriest amateur in the prize
ring, Jack Munroe, of Butte, Montana,
a miner, went down and out before
champion Janies J. Jeffriei in the sec
ond round Friday. The man from the
mining district made such an ex
tremely sorry showing that the great
throng in Mechanics’ Pavilion roundly
hooted him as he protested to Referee
Graney against the decision that had
been given in favor of Jeffries.
The twp giants had not been in tbe
ring two minutes when it was fore
seen that the aspirations of Munroe
would be quickly disposed of. The
miner vas scared and awkward, and
Jeffries, in the first round, had him
twice on the canvas taking the count.
Jeffries directed his bombardment
against, the stomach of his opponent,
and each shot was followed by a blow
that Munroe ,, , to his . .
on the jaw sent
knees. Jeffries went back to his cor
ner after the opening round with a
sneer and a laugh on his swarthy face,
while Munroe's seconds busied them
selves ,... with smelling salt. 0 n,l _ . - .

EVIDENCE GOES AGAINST SHE RIFE
Important Witnesses Testify in Regard to
Trouble in Statesboro.
The court of inquiry appointed by
Governor Terrell to probe the States
boro affair, began its real duties at
Savannah. Ga., Friday morning, and
the testimony of Colonel Grayson,
commanding the First regiment of in
fantry, and Captain R. M. Hitch, the
officer in charge of the Statesboro
troops, wag taken.
Damaging evidence against the part
Sheriff Kendrick played in the States
boro affair was adduced at the after
noon session of the board. A num
ber of witnesses testified that Sheriff
Kendrick had opened the door to the
prisoners' room with a key and had
pointed out the negroes to the mob,
and brushed the few guards aside on
the plea that he had the authority.
Another point clearly brought out
was the intrepid dating of Second
Lieutenant McIntyre who, with face
bleeding and body bruised, sought to
i lead the entire detail in hot pursuit of
the mob which had just passed the
outposts With the two negroes, Cato
and Reed. Nearly all of the men

ah: “Seek ye first the .kingdom of God

said in the course of his excellent sermon:
From the beginning until now man’s
search has been for the golden age. Some
times he named it the Golden Fleece:
sometimes republic Holy Grail. Plato Bunyan. prophesied
it in a yet to be. after
a weary pilgrimage, found it beyond the
Delectable Mountains. Bacon saw it in

God are always expecting the Kingdom
of to come through some device of
