THE TWO CENT PASSENGER FARE.
One of the questions that will in all probability come before the next
Georgia legislature will be the enacting of a law reducing passenger
fare on railroads to two cents a mile This legislation is needed and
demanded by the people. While it will interfere with u few who.now
have special favors shown them, on the whole it would be a beneficent
act. And too, from a financial standpoint it would be advantageous to
the railroads They would haul more passengers, which would more
thttii make the difference of one cent taken off the present rate. The
railr<»a<ls make mom money now than they did when they had the five ;
■ cent rate. And y«t when a reduction cf the five-cent rate was advo
cated a howl went up throughout railroad circles in Georgia. If the |
railroads will furnish the cirs, and the fare is lessened, the people will ,
ride. Let us take a concrete example: ^ome of the railroads 111 [
Georgia have a one fare rate for Saturday and Sunday. T.ie result is
they have to put on extra cars to haul the people who flock to take ad¬
vantage of tlie cheap late. it is the best paying trip they make.
Lets have the two cent fare, and let everybody pay.
To show the sentiment of the country on the subject we quote below
; the action of other states on the question :
Pennsylvania — Two-cent bill passed by the bouse and ts pending in
| ^ seaato
Ohio—Two-cent law enacted last year.
West Virginia—Two cent bill passed.
North Carolina—Two and a quarter cent bill passed.
Alabama—Two and a half cent bill passed.
Arkansas—Two-cent bill passed.
Texas—Two-cent bill pending,
Kansas—Two cent bill passed.
Nebraska—Two cent law enacted,
North Dakota—Two and a half cent bill passed.
South Dakota—Railroad commission authorized to order two and a
half I
t ent rate.
Indiana —Two-cent bill passed.
Illinois—Two-cent bill pass d the house. j
Missouri—Two-cent bill pns-ed. 1
Iowa—Two cent bill passed applying tp railroads earning $4,000 u !
year gross per mile.
Minnesota—Two cent, bill pending.
Wisconsin—Two and n half cent, rate fixed by railroad commission.
Thus we see tb it seventeen states have acted Oklahoma is framing
a law that will establish practically the same rate. Georgia is really
behind.

SELLING WHISKEY TO MINORS.
A cas» that will be watched with much interest is the ca«e sent up
from a South Georgia c-unty relative to a whiskey dealer in Valdos
ta selling whisker t<> a minor in another county, the minor sending in
a money order The Georgia law says t hat anyone selling or giving
away whiskey to a ininoi "Shall lie guilty of a misdemeanor.
Now, it filling a boy’s order for whiskey is not selling whiskey to the
hoy, we do not understand the nature of a sale. There are boys in
Newton county who send money orders to Atlanta for whiskey, and
they get the whiskey It seems t<> us that the manner in which or the
place where it is smd should not enter in. The law is plain. If the
liquor houses are g migto sell liquor throughout Newton, they should
ascertain whether on not the purchaser is a minor
Lets keep on the aiert, and if necessary lets be ready to go before
the Fulton count/ Grand Jury, armed with evidence to convict these
violators of the law. We desire to see the law operate on all offenders
; in the same way. If some poor, but misguided man in our county fur¬
nishes liquor to a minor, we hoist him up before the cotms, fiine him
or send him to the chaingang. These big, fat-sleek, rich whiskey dis¬
pensers in Atlanta should be made pay the penalty when they furnish
liquor to minors. A 9 sai I above, the way in which they furnish the
liquor does not euter into the case.
The Oklahoma State capitol ad¬
vises young men to use their heads

Senator Tillman’s Hair.
Pitchfork Ben Tillmyn, of South
Car 'ina, will succeed Clark, of
Montana, as Die senator possessing
the most hair. Tillman’s hair is
*
heavy and closely matted over his
head. It sticks out aggressively
in every direction and seems to
defy all attemps to keep it. under
way of control. When the South
Carolina senator wave** his pitch¬
fork ai d plunges into a h<>t debate
on the floor of the senate his hair
performs quit*- remarkable stunts.
It seems to be etVected by the vary¬
ing mvods and emotions of its
owner. When Mr. Tillman is
pathetic his hair falls gently over
his forehead in a most, weepy fash¬
ion when he is sutirical, it moves
up and down in short, jerky
weaves, but when he gets into a
rage his hair stands out straight in
ar.gry defioatice, giving his face a
very tierce expression, indeed.—
