This in tIn* eyes of ide Kamo warden
was pure waste. am) bu ordered the
engineers to prevent It without linrin-
lnjf the* liouvom. nr coursu the dntn
could have boon blown up with dyna
mite, but that would hnvo uionrit the
death of most of the little animals nnd
death very likely In great pain at that.
So the engineers cut an opening In
the dnin. The iiiud had become almost
ns hard ns concrete, and It took the
men three (lays to tret the water run-
nine out steadily. Then, thinking their
troubles with the industrious little fel
lows over, they started work on the
railway through the swamp.
Soon the water begun to rise, nnd
the work was stopped In n few hours.
The engineers mndo nil haste to the
dam and found the unlmals had repair
ed the cut and made It tight again.
A fresh cut was made, but after the
men hnd gone the beavers busied
themselves and made It stronger than
ever. Work wns nguln stopped on the
rnilrond within n few hours.
Then a deep hole was mude In the
earth far under the dam. The beavers
were much puzzled. Never before had
they seen water go down Into the
ground nnd come up fur away. Hut
they lent their whole attention to the
problem, nnd the work on the railroad
was ngnln stopped ns a consequence
and the foundations soaked with wn-
ter.
Then followed an engagement of
wits between the beavers and tbo en
gineers. Hut every time the men
found a way to cut tho dam In a new
place the heavers found u way to
stop It.
The road wns finally constructed by
working a few hours at a time, and the
loss to the contractors amounted to
more than $5,<100.—Detroit Free Dress.

An East Indian Prince Who Did Not
Fear Losing Canto.
Mr. Conlngsby Dawson, the well
known English writer. lulls the follow
ing anecdote of the East Indian prluco
Sir Permit Singh:
A young English lieutenant had died
of cholera In Ids palace. The boy was
the son ot an English friend. When
the body had to be carried out lo be
placed on a gnu carriage Sir Permit
Singh went forward to lift It up. lie-
fore he touched It he was stopped hy
some English ollieers. They reminded
him that, hy ills religion, were be to
touch the dead lie would lose all Ills
custe and perhaps, despite Ids wealth,
never In* aide to buy U back They ml
vised It I III to send Im the sweepers,
who are outcasts In spite ot their
protests In* poked up the body and
carried it down the palace steps to
the gun carriage
A gasp went up at the sight. Every
one of Ills subjects knew what lie had
done. The next morning, when he
rose. 500 llrahmau priests were wait
ing In the courtyard. He came out, a
proud ligure. to face them, lie knew
what the) had come for lo make him
the lowest thing in India, a man with
out paste He asked them what was
thcli errand, and they told him They
had conn* to make him id as little ac
count as the nmnhlest sweeper in his
palace.
Sir Permit Singh laughed. "I be
long," be Sam io a Higher caste than
any ot yon nave ever dreamed of. and
you can't take >l twin me; you're wel
come to ill! i lie rest I belong lo lilt*
same ca-ic io. iin* dead son of my
friend the caste of a soldier"
With that be walked back Into his
palace, and l lie ltrabuinn priests went
away, one by one. ashamed and puz
zled.

RAILROADS EXPLAIN
FREIGHT RATE CHANGES
To tlu* People Served hy the Hull
roads of the Smith;
All order of the Interstate Com-
nii ree ( ommli- don. pursuant to re
quirements m' Federal law, eoinpels
a general revision of southern freight
rale-. If Is proper that the people
of (In* south should be Informed as
to the reasons for this revision and
the principles upon which ll is be
ing made.
Exeepting the Norfolk & Western.
Chesapeake A- Ohio nnd Virginian
railways, which lie in official elassl-
ltcntlon territory, the railroads of the
souiheasi receive virtually no part of
the live per (u*nl increase lu rates re
cently acquiesced in by the Interstate
Commerce commission. While the
need of the carriers of the smith for
Increased revenue Is eerti. ly no less
than Is that of the northern and east
ern roads, that need Is In no way
related to the revision of rates now
In progress ivhleh arises solely from
the necessity of more nearly eon-
forming to the so-called “long and
short haul clause” of the law ns
amended in 11)10, nnd ns now con
strued by the Interstate Commerce
commission.
The original act to regulate com
merce forbade the making of lower
rates for a longer than for a shorter
distance within the same line or route
under substantially the same cir
cumstances anil conditions. The car
riers were free to meet competition
as they found It and were required
to answer only upon complaint as to
tlie reasonableness of their acts.
The amendment of 11110 deprived
the carriers of the right to initiate
departures from the long and short
haul requirement, and they may no
longer meet competition as they find
it if the long and short haul re
quirement of the law Is involved, un
less they can first: obtain the approval
of the Interstate Commerce com
mission.
They were furthermore required,
by this change in tho law, to-apply
to the commission for authority to
continue in force rates existing at the
time of Ms passage which contravened
the long and short haul principle.
The existing rate structure of the
south Is not the creation of traffic
managers of this generation. It is
an Inheritance from those who built
the roads, and finds its explanation
largely in the geography of the south,
and in a public policy which en
couraged its creation. Tlu* changes
now In progress are not of the car
riers’ choice.
Water competition. Hie most im
portant factor in bringing about de
parture from tlie long and short haul
principle of tlu* law, has Ik’cii pe
culiarly influential on the rate ad
justments of the south, surrounded
us it is on three sides by navigable
water and penetrated by navigable
streams. Termini of the lirst roads
wt re on navigable waters mid rates
between those termini were from the
beginning ilejna ssed because of this
water competition. When, subse
quently. railways were ext ended to
the interior, distributing ponln were
thereby created, where there arose
competition of two or more markets,
or of two or more carriers, resulting
in depression in rates, even when
there was no direct water competi
tion.
These conditions undoubtedly con
tributed to tlu* commercial and ln-
du-'rial de elopment of the interior
south, nnd. while they resulted in
more frequent departures from the
long and short haul principle of the
law. tin* carriers had every reason
to believe that their practice had Hie
approval of the public, even when it
wns not directly the result of pub-
lie demand.
Now, the Interstate Commerce
commission, pursuant to Hu* require
ments of an amended law, lias con
cluded an enquiry Into rates from
Hie (*astern seaboard, Including the
Virginia cities, from south Atlantic
and gulf ports, and from Ohio and
Mississippi river crossings, into the
southeast and Mississippi valley ter
ritory. As a result the commission
has in large measure condemned ex-
1sting departures from the long and
short haul requirement, except where
justified by competition beyond the
control of the rail carriers, a phase
which canto to be restricted to mean
direct or indirect water competition.
Obviously, the removal of inequali
ties condemned by the commission,
by reductions only, would result in
disaster to the carriers. This fact
is recognized by tlie commission,
which, in its review of the situation,
stated;
“It is entirely clear that the reve
nues of a large percentage of the
lines in the southeastern territory
would be so Impaired by such a pro
cedure as to make It Impossible for
them to meet their operating ex
penses, taxes and fixed charges and
leave their stockholders even a mod
erate return."
It is equally obvious that it would
he unfair to punish the carriers, in
conforming to a changed public
policy, for acts which at the time
of commission were approved by jiub-
11c opinion.
lienee in working out tho order
of tlu* commission such elevation of
rates to tlu* depressed points must
accompany reductions to tho much
larger number of intermediate points
as will at least preserve the revenues
of tlu* carriers.
The task of revision is no easy one.
It has been undertaken in loyal ef
fort to conform to the law, as now
interpreted, and to be fair to all.
Departures from the long and short
haul principle in the south are not
confined to Interstate traffic. There
are in tlu* south a great many intra-
slate rates that do not conform to
the principle. If undue discrimina
tions are to be avoided, these intra
state rates ninsi tie brought into har
mony with tlie revised interstate ad
justment being made under the di
rection of the Interstate Commerce
commission. It is the purpose of the
railways of the south to take up each
intrastate revision with the several
state railroad commissions.

Don't Sell the Horses and Mules.
“We believe the farmers of Georgia
are making a mistake in selling their
mules and horses to agents who are
buying for the warring nations in
Europe. Everyone knows that for
several yeais after a great war mules
and horses always are higher in price
than ever. For the past 15 years now
mules tin I hoises have been steadily
advancing in price, and tlie reason for
this demand is the excessive demand
for livestock. The farmers are not
only selling mules and horses that they
u r e going to need, but they are selling
them for a little more than half what
they will hnv? to pay for them when
they go to buv them back.’’
The above, from the Telfair Enter
prise, is sound advic°. The South has
too few horses and mules in proportion
to men already for economically pro
ducing our crops, and to sell those
needed is poor economy. It is a well-
known fact that the earnings of the
farmers of any section are usually in
proportion to the number of horses and
mules they use.

SPECIAL NOTICE.
Ail landowners are required by law to give in
the land lot numbers of each lot or parcel of land
they own, in the original land district. The new
law is very strict on this point, and instructs the
Receiver not to accept the returns on any land
without LOT NUMBERS and the orig?inal land dis
trict. It is impossible for the Assessors to do their
work intelligently and do justice to the landowner
without the correct information in giving the lend
LOT number and land district of each land lot and
parcel of land in the county.
Employers are required to give a list of all em
ployees on their land subject to taxes.
The time for giving in taxes is from Feb. 1 to
Muy 1, This is very important, as the books will
be turned over to the Tax Assessors on May 1.
Anyone who fails to give in his or her taxes with
in the above-named time will be entered on the
defaulters' list and double taxed.
The Tax Receiver’s books will be open at the
court-house in Newnan all the time, except when
at places and dates named above.
Date for Reckoning Taxes Will Be From
