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. DEFIED THE BRAHMANS.

The boy was the son ot an English friend.

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. J. R. KENLY, President, Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Com- pa ny. IV. A.

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. Cures Oil!

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 Jan. 1. B.
