The resignation of Mr. Creamer has Is that Atlanta ought to be given a

havk held out against Atlanta be
cause they have water rates, but
It la doubtful It any other Jobbing
towns could.
Mr. Smith an his organs now pre
tend to say Atlanta would have been
willing for other Jobbing ' towns to
have bad the same reduction she ask

aay so? Her freight bureau asked
for a special rate that would enable
her to get into the terrltoiy occupied
by other jobbing towns.. Does that
look as If she was willing that other
towns' should have what she asked
for? It certainly does not. She was
seekjng to grab the trade of the other
Jobbing towns, and that Is proof that
she wasn't willing that other towns
should have the special rates for
which she asked for herself.

When asked If he would ffcvor a

he dodges the question why? because

no he would lose Fulton county.
