Cheap Freights for Dawson, Last week's NEws told of the effort to defeat the cheap rates on cotton from pawson ordered by the railroad com mission along with a general reduction onall classes of freight to and from Dawson. When the new rates went into effect the railroads attempted to meet them by pilling 21l cotton at 500 pounds per bale, the former weight at which it was re ceived for shipment being 430 pounds Per bale. When the business men'learned of this movementon the part of the railroads they at once went to work to bave the old weights restored, with the result that on last Saturday the local agents of the two roads here received instruc tions to restore cotton weights to the former figure and pay a rebate on all that bad beern shipped at 500 pounds er I,‘:\lc. ] Dawson now has a cotton rate of 37 cents to Savannah, and is in a better position than ever to maintain her place at the head of the cotton mark ets of southwest Georgia. The farm s will get the benefit of this reduec on 1 cotton rates, and if possible i Diwson will be a greater cotton center ¢hn ever before. Not only has the freight rate on cotton peen reduced, but cheaper rates on all kinds ofJgoods have gone into effect,and will resuit in a saving of $25,000 annual ly tothe people of Dawson and the farm ers who do their trading here. The original order ¢f the railroad commission reducing Dawson’s freight rates is as follows: “Oraered, That the rates enforced at Dawson from Atlanta be revised, so that no greater rate shall be charged at Daw son from Atlanta than is charged at Al bany upon the same classes, and that it a less sum than the maximum rates al lowed is charged at Albany, Ga., that no greater sum shall be charged at Dawson, said Central of Georgia Railway Co. and Georgia and Alabama Railway are tereby required to submit a new sched ule of rates on this basis within fiye days from this date. Itis further order ¢ed, That the proposed rate on cotton fm Dawson to Savannah and the rate fom Albany to Savannah be submitted atthe same time. “This orvder is in.ended to cover not aly the rates from Atlanta to Dawson ad Albany, but from places usinz Atlan taes o basiug point for their rates to said cities, “It is further ordered, That the said Central of Georgia Railway Company and tie (reorgia & Alabama Railway imuee diately desist from making the aforesaid unjust discriminations, and that they - put in force a schedule of rates upon the principles herein set forth. “L.
