SMITH’S PLAN WOULD CUT
GEORGIA GOINQ AND COMING.
Ill bit Oeillft speech ex-Goveruor
Smith **14 that what he meant by
port rate* On freight going down to
toe sea, and to lower them coming up
from the sea.
In other words, we should pay more
in Georgia tor outgoing freight, and
lest tor Incoming freight.
Of coune water ratej govern all*
rail rate*. How could this work?
It would raise freight* on cotton,
on peacke*, on other fruits and* veg
etables, on the cotton product* of our
mill*, and oq. ail manufacturer* which
we are building up; and then L would
reduce the freight on manufacture]
article* made In the North and West
and shipped in, in competion with c»r
own factorle*.
The n by the trick of the port rate
resolution, which the vote of McLen
don, chairman of the Railroad CVm-
mission, defeated (and for which ho
wa* summarily fired by Governor
Smith), Atlanta wholesale merchant
alone were to scoop the incoming de
crease, leaving the bag to be held by
the balance of the 8tate.
Some of our reader* doubtless saw
the list of Atlanta drummers printed
in the Journal whlc^ have taken the
field for Smith. They know that it
wa* a body of Atlanta drummers that
called o n Smith soon after he retired
from offlee and urged him to run again
They know that when Judge Morrla
came down to the Ice cream feast at
Smith's house his little crowd was
reinforced by Atlanta drummers. They
know that the Atlanta Journal, wh~n
Smith announced, said that* the var
ious delegations had failed to Induce
him to announce, but Whe n a large
delegation of Atlanta** business men
called on him they prevailed, ft de
veloped that these business men were
the old freight bureau set*, of port
rate notoriety.
Ara not these things palpable, bald,
omlnou*?

facturers in the other cities and town*
and the farmers In Geoigla shut thotr
eyes to these things?—Macon Tele

Some opponents of Governor Brown

much of the Durham coal mine inci
dent. Governor Brown ordered out
the militia to quiet disorders at those
mines with the result that about 20
Italian miners were run out of the
state. Now it Is being said by Gov

Smith Is particularly Interested In
having foreign laborers come to Geor

The public, or that part of It which
keeps up with political discussions* la
Georgia, are familiar with Editor Jim
Miller’s charge3 against Governor
Brown In regard to the appointment
of a naval stores inspector at Savan-
two! nah. Miller. Is the editor of the
{Statesboro Xewi. He aiked to be ap
pointed to the Savannah position. An
other party, the secretary of the
Brown Club in Savannah, also applied
for the place. But the naval store*
interest wanted to get a man for the
position who had experience and fam
iliarity with tho business. An inspec
tor wbo could Inspect. Kink of Bruns

Miller wa* desperately disappoint

charges of a deal In politics by the
Governor, lugging in px-Governor Ter

Yesterday The Telegraph prlnteo
from the Savannah News a lengthy
correspondence between the Govern
or and Mr. J. A. G. Carson, president
of the Savannah Board of Trade, be
ginning on July 12. 1009, and conclud
ing last February when Harris M.
King of Brunswick was appointed.
This correspondence shows unequivo
cally that so far from playing politics,
the Governor was actuated by a sense
of his duty t 0 the public service and
the last letter In the correspondence
by the president of the , Board of
Trade of Savannah congratulated the
Governor, saying “1 assure you that
•aid appointment give genuine and
great satisfaction to the trade In gen
eral In this city; It also shows conclu
sively that in making your appoint
ment yon take Into consideration the
qualification of the candidates to a
greater extent than you do their po
litical influence or backing which,
while entirely the proper thing to do,
is not always adhered to by the ap
pointing powers.”
