l*r The usual fall rumor has
got on the wing to the effect that a
rich Chicago firm is about to begin
the publication of a great daily pa
per in Atlanta in competition with
the Constitution. When this great
Chicago company, or any one else,
makes a better newspaper than the
Constitution they or he may enter

THK STATE FA1K.
The state fair, which opens in
Macon on the 20th of October and
continues one week, promises to be a
grand success. There will be $!>,0()0
paid out in cash premiums on a wide
range of exhibits. Every possible
preparation for the proper exhibi
tion and care of articles will be
made, and exhibitors need not fear
loss or damage to articles sent for
exhibition. Every department
will be well filled, and all interests
will be represented. Agricultural
ists, mechanics, and even casual
visitors, will find objects of interest
on the grounds, and will be well
repaid for a visit. We hope that
Burke county will not be left off
the roll of exhibitors, as we know
our farmers and mechanics can
make a creditable show if they will.
THE BA1I.UOAI)
HIM. AS
SENATE.
it passed the
The agitation of the railroad com
mission law has aroused much in
terest in the public mind, and we,
therefore, give the full text of the
bill as it passed the senate, and w ill
go to the house, that our readers may
know exactly what it is. We have
always opposed the plenary powers
with which the railroad commis
sion has been clothed, and hold that
this interference with vested rights
is an act of bad faith on the part of
the state. Itailroad corporations are
associations of citizens for business
purposes, and if the legislature can
create a board of commissioners to
regulate their business, what is to
prevent an intermeddling with
other associations in other classes
of business? A great objection to
the law' now of force, is that it al
lowed no appeal from the action of
the commissioners no matter how
arbitrary that action might be.—
The present modified bill does al
low such an appeal, and is so far
right, as the rights of no citizen
should be barred an investigation
by the courts:
A bill to bo entitled mi not to niter nnd amend
mi uot, approved October It, 1879, entitled
‘•an act to provide for the regulation of
railroad freight and passenger tarllfs In this
stale; to provont unjust discriminations
and extortion in the rates charged for the
transportation of passengers and freights,
and to prohibit railroad companies, corpo
rations and lessees in this state from charg
ing other than Just and reasonable rates,
and to punish the same, and prescribe u
mode of procedure and rules of evidence in
relation thereto; and to appoint commis
sioners, nnd to proscribe their powers and
duties In relation to the same,” the said act
being also incorporated In the code of Geor
gia of 1882, and designated In said codo as
sections 71(1 (a) to 711) (p) Inclusive, by re
pealing section 5 of said net, known as suc
tion 711) (o) of said codo of Georgia; also by
repealing section 0 of said act, known as
section 711) (I) of said code of Georgia; and
also by Inserting In lieu of said repealed sec
tions other soctlous proscribing the Jurisdic
tion, powers and duties of the railroad com
missioners, providing for npponls from the
rulings and decisions of said commissioners,
and requiring the various railroad compa
nies doing business In this state to make
and publish schedules of Just and reason
able rates and tariffs, and for other ptir-
poscs.
Emotion 1. lie It enacted by the general as
sembly of the state of Georgia, That section 5
of tho said act of October It, 1S7H, known in
the code of Georgia of 1882 as section 711) (e).
which said section prescribes the duties of tho
commissioners as to making rates of freight
and passenger tarltfs and rules and regula
tions to l>c observed by all railroad companies
doing business In this state be, and the same
is hereby repealed, and that hereafter suction
& of said uct and section 710 (u) of said code
shall lie as follows: That the commissioners
appointed heretofore provided shall be au
thorized to make such Just and reasonable
rules nnd regulations as may be necessary for
preventing unjust discriminations In the
transportation of freight and passengers on
the railroads of this state; and to that end
shall be authorized to make such rules and
regulations to designate and tlx the propor
tion of difference In rates of freight ami pas
senger transportation to be allowed for longer
and shorter distance.)on the same or different
railroads of this state, and to prescribe what
shall be the limits ol longer and shorter dis
tances; that thev sliu i be authorized to make
Just and reasonable rules and regulations to
be observed by said railroad companies on
said railroads In the state lo prevent the gfv-
lug or paying of any rubale or bonus, directly
or lnhlructly, and from misleading or deceiv
ing tho public In any manner as to the real
rates charged for freight and passengers; and
that they shall be authorized to make such
Just and reasonable rules of procedure for the
hearing and determining of the complaints
hereinafter provided for as to them shall seem
meet and proper; Provided, that all such
rules and regulations shall bo consistent with
the laws of this slate and of the United Ktales;
and provided further, that nothing in this act
shall tie construed to authorize any Interfer
ence with or regulation of Inter-state com
merce.
Mmc. 2. Uo It further enacted by the author
ity aforesaid, That suction ll of the said act ol
October I t. 1878, known In the said code ol
Georgia a* section 718 if), prescribing that the
same is hereby repealed,
and that hereafter section (1 of said act and
section 710 (0 of said code of Georgia Khali be
as follows: That the several railroad corpora
tions doing business in tills ntnte are hereby
authorized and required to make each for
Itself, as soon as practicable, a schedule of
just nnd reasonable rates of charges for the
transportation of passengers, freight and cars
on tho respective railroads in this statu, nnd
said railroad companies shall from time to
time, and as ofton ns circumstances may re
quire, change and revise said schedules, and
when any schedule shall have been made or
revised as aforesaid, it shall be tho duty of
each of said corporations respectively to enufe
publication thereof to be made for two suc
cessive weeks In some public newspaper pub
lished in tho cities of Atlanta, Augusta, Al
bany, Athens, Savannah, Macon, Home and
Columbus, in this state, and after the same
shall be so published, it shall be the duty of
each of such railroad companies to post at all
of the respective stations, in a conspicuous
place, a copy of said schedule to bo observed
by them for the protection of all persons con
cerned. Any person, town, city or corpora
tion affected by the schedule of rates so estab
lished may at any time file with railroad
commissioners a petition in writing, In which
petition tho ground of objections to said
schedule and rates shall bo distinctly set forth.
If tho ground of complaint Is that the rate in
any particular class of freight Is unreasonable
or unjust, said petition must set forth clearly
the rate charged by the railroad and also the
rato which the petition claims would be a Just
and reasonable charge. When such petition
Is made and filed with the railroad commis
sioners it shall bo tho duty of said commis
sioners to cause a copy of said complaint to
be served on said railroad company or Its
agent, and give notice to both parties of the
time and place of the hearing, which shall
not be.in less time than ten days from the
time service is perfect d on the railroads. If
at any time before tho hearing the railroads
shall so alter their rates In the matter com-
ulained of so as to conform to the rates asked
for by the petitioner, then no hearing shall be
necessary,but the petition may be withdrawn
by consent of parties. Tho commissioners
shall have power to alter and amend the rates
complained of whenever they shall adjudge,
after a full hearing, that the same are un
reasonable or unjust, nnd shall fix such rate
as to them shall seem reasonable and Just,
and from the decision of the commissioners
on the question of rates made by the plead
ings either party may appeal to the superior
court of tho county where the complaint
originated, under tho same rules and regula
tions as lo the manner ol appealing as now
provided by law in cases of appeal from the
court of ordinary, and said superior court
shall hear and determine such case under tUo
same rules and regulations as are now pro
scribed by law for hearing equity cases in said
court; that said causes shall have precedence
of all other causes on the docket and shall be
heard nnd determined at the first term. De
positions of all witnesses, irrespective of resi
dence, may be taken in said cause, and the
cause shall in no event be continued beyond
the said term on account of the absence of
witnesses or counsel or for other cause what
ever. Either party to such proceeding may
move for a new trial or except to the actions
and ruling of such superior court in the same
manner as Is now provided by law in other
cases. Ponding the appeal the rate adjudged
by the commissioners to be reasonable and
just shall be the legal rate, and the railroad
companies shall be subject to all tho penalties
provided In section 719, I. and J. of the code,
when they shall charge higher rates than tho
rates so fixed by tho commission pending the
appeal. In all cases made under this section
tho burden of proof shall be on the railroad,
the presumption of law being that the com
missioners’ rates are right and Just. Tho rato
adjudged to be the correct rate by the railroad
commissioners shall remain of force until set
aside by tho courts of this state. Hut the
commissioners of railroads shall have no
power or Jurisdiction to alter, change or in
any way Interfere with rates made by the
railroads except on csmplaints made, filed
and heard as above sot forth, and then only
as to such questions as are made and put in
issuo by pleadings; provided, that when an
appeal has been made to the courts and tho
cose has been decided by the supreme court,
then the decision in such ease shall be re
garded as a precedent by tho courts of this
state, and no appeal shall be allowed on a
similar case to the courts.
Sec. 3. He it further enacted by tlie author
ity aforesaid. That section 12 of said act of
October 14, 1879, known in said codo of Georgia
as section 719 (1), which dotinos the terms

pany” bo, nnd the same is hereby amended
by inserting after the word “Individuals” the
words “receiver or receivers.” so that said
section, when amended, will road as follows:
That the terms “railroad corporation” or
"railroad company,” as contained in this act,
shall be deemed and taken to mean all corpo
rations, companies or individuals, receiver or
receivers now owning or operating, or which
may hereafter own or operate, any railroad,
in whole or in part, In this state, and the pro
visions of tills act shall apply to all persons,
firms and companies, and to all associations
of persons, whether Incorporated or other
wise, that shall do business as common car
riers upon any of the lines of railroad in tills
state (street railways excepted), the same as
to railroad corporations hereinbefore men
tioned.
Sec. 4. He It further enacted, That no In
crease of freight or passenger rates shall go
Into offect until thlltydays after the begin
ning of tho advertisement required in section
2 of tilts uct.
Sec. f>. Ho It further enacted, That when
ever a complaint shall be filed with said com
missioners as provided in this act, Italian not
be necessary for the complainant to appear in
person or by attornoy before said commis
sioners or furnish any evidence further than
to establish tho fuel that the rate charge, rule
or discrimination complained of actually ex
ists, and a bill of lading or receipt for freights
or the order of the eoicoany establishing such
rate, rule or discrimination shall lie sufficient
proof of the fact, and when such complaint is
filed and suoli proof furnished it shall be the
duty of tlie commissioners to notify said rull-
roud company complained of, by serving
them by mail or otherwise with a copy of tho
complaint, and at the time set for a trial

Mrs. M. E. Wimberly in ntfiiin
amongst us.
Mr. Yancey Heath is in business
on the C. It. It.
Miss Lillie Iiazemoro has return
ed from a month’s visit to Scriven.
Muscadines and scuppernongs
have been the order of tlie day for
sometime.
Our pastor, Ttev. S. W. Stubbs, is
very sick at ids home, of hemor
rhagic fever.
Cotton is nearly all open, but is
not being gathered very fast, owing
to rams and scarcity of labor.
Harvey Odom left us sometime
since, and is in business with Mr.
Walter Brigham, in Augusta.
Messrs. Julius Cochran and Pierce
Blocker have gone into the mer
cantile business at Mr. Cochran’s.
Hon. J. B. Heath’s steam gin
turned out twelve bales of cotton,
neatly packed, in one day last week,
and could have ginned one more.
We understand that the teacher
of the Telfair school has resigned.
We would like to know of the trus
tees if they have employed that
young lady who sent them her pic
ture.
The funeral sermon of Mr. B. C.
Heath was preached last Sunday
week, from the text: “Well done,
good and faithful servant; thou
hast been faithful over a few things,
behold, I will make thee ruler over
many.”
The steamer Katie stopped over
at (4riflin’s Landing last Friday.
The highly esteemed purser, Mr.
Alsop, came out and spent the
night with us. Captain Mcruggs
Boville also spent the night with
his friends, and joined in a fox hunt.
The fellow that got “moccasin bit”
in the spring was in the chase, and
his horse fell into a hole, and the
brave knight shouted—not“viotory,”
but “defeat.” lie is lucky for nar
row escapes. Snakes and horses
cannot conquer him, and not long
since lightning struck a place on
which he had stood but a few
moments before, lie must carry a
buck-eye.
Rev. N. P. D. 3amford has left us.
His health failed, and he went to
Baldwin county. Rockville has
lost a good man. No one knew his
heart and inner nature better than
the writer, and we knew him to be
tender and true. Young men are
too often misjudged. If they ever
make a mistake in anything there
are always those who are ready to
censure them. We all make mis
takes. But why should a young
ilian in such a position as that of a
teacher be railed at for his faults,
simply because the eyes of the
multitude are turned upon him?
We speak from experience. We
have had our heart to bleed, when
we had been found in fault, and no
one—not even a Christian—to help
us, and show us how to conquer
these faults. But we will not en
large at present. Let trustees and
others understand that when they
employ young men, they must ex
pect them to make mistakes; and
when they find we are in fault, it
will do us more good to sympathize
with us, and help us, than to private
ly censure us.
