Will Ask State Commission To Ap prove Similar Revision In Intrastate Rates Atlanta, Ga.—The recent order of tlie Interstate Commerce Commission enforcing the Long and Short Haul clause of the Federal Act to Hegulate Commerce, has made necessary a gen eral readjustment of freight rates throughout Southern territory, declare Presidents J. It. Kenly of the Atlantic Coast Line, W. A. Winburn of the Central of Georgia, M. H. Smith of the Louisville and Nashville, W. J. Harahan of the Seaboard Air Line, and Fairfax Harrison of the Southern, in a statement, addressed "To The Peo ple Served by the Railroads of the South,” which has just been issued. Since the order of the Commission was handed down, a committee of traf fic officers has been ut work prepar ing tariffs which will put into effect its provisions. Obviously, precise fig ures to nil points may not be an nounced pending a completion of the work of revision. It is understood that where long and short haul discrimi nations now exist, many rates will be reduced and some of them advanced, and that an important effect of the revision in Georgia will be to give a large number of local points more favorable rates as compared with the rates enjoyed by the distributing cen ters. For the local points to get the full benefit of the principles under which the interstate rates will be readjust ed, that, is to say, the reducing or ellm- ation of the differences between the rates at the local points as compared with the rates at the so-called com mon points, which are in the main the large cities, it will he necessary for a revision, following the principles of the interstate adjustment, to lie made*in (lie intrastate rates, and a pe tition to this effect is to be made by the railroads to the State Railroad Commission. Statement Of President The statement of the railroad pres idents is as follows: “To The People Served By The Hail- roads Of The South: "An order of the Interstate Com merce Commission, pursuant to re quirements of Federal law, compels a general revision of Southern freight rates. It is proper that the people of the South should be informed as to the reasons for this revision and the principles upon which it is being made. “Excepting the Norfolk &. Western, Chesapeake & Ohio and Virginian Rail ways, which lie in Official Classifica tion territory, the railroads of the Southeast receive virtually no part of the five per cent increase in rates recently acquiesced in by the Inter state Commerce Commission. While the need of the carriers of the South for increased revenue is certainly no less than is that of the Northern and Eastern roads, that need is in no way related to the revision of rates now in progress which arises solely from the necessity of more nearly conform ing to the so-called “long and short haul clause" of the law as amended in 1910, and as now construed by the Interstate Commerce Commission. "The original Act to Hegulate 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 circum stances and conditions. The carriers were free to meet competition as they found it and were required to answer only upon complaint as to the reason ableness of their acts. “The amendment of 1910 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 requirement No. 35.... . 7:25 a. in. -No. 19 7 :5fl a. m.

Roads Must Make Changes "Tlie existing rate structure of the South is not tlie creation of traffic managers of tills generation, it is an inheritance front those who built the roads, and finds its explanation largely in the geography of the South, and in a public policy which encour aged its creation. Tlie changes now iu progress are not of the carriers’ choice. "Water competition, the most Im portant factor in bringing about de parture from the long and short luiul principle of the law, has been peculiar ly Influential on the rate adjustments of tlie South, surrounded as it Is on three sides by navigable, water and penetrated by navigable streams. Ter mini of tlie first roads were on navi gable waters and rates between tlioso termini were from tlie beginning de pressed because of this water compe tition. When, subsequently, railways were extended to tlie interior, distrib uting points were thereby created, where there arose competition of two or more markets, or of two or more carriers, lesultlng in depressions in rates, even when there was no direct water competition. "These conditions undoubtedly con tributed to tlie commercial and indus trial development of tlie interioj South, and, while they resulted In more frequent departures from tlie long and short haul principle of tlie law, tlie carriers had every reason to believe that their practice had the approval of the public, even when it was not directly tlie result of public demand. "Now, the Interstate Commerce Commission, pursuant to the require ments of an amended law, has conclud ed an enquiry into rates from tlie East ern Seaboard, including the Virginia Cities, from South Atlantic and Gulf Forts, and from Ohio and Mississippi River Crossings, Into tlie Southeast and Mississippi Valley territory. As a re sult the Commission lias in large meas ure condemned existing departures from the long and short haul require ment, except where justified by com petition beyond tlie control of Hie rail carriers, a phrase which came to be re stricted to mean direct or indirect water competition. Must Raise Some Rates "Obviously, tlie removal of inequali. ties condemned by the Commission, by reductions only, would result in disas ter to Hie carriers. This fact is rec ognized 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 tlie Southeastern territory would be so impaired by sucli a procedure as to make it impossible for them to meet their operating expenses, taxes and fixed charges and leave their stock holders even a moderate return.’ "It is equally obvious that it would be unfair to punish tlie carriers, in con forming to a changed public policy, for acts which at the time of commission were approved by public opinion. "Hence in working out tlie Order of tlie Commission such elevation of rates to the depressed points must accompa ny reductions to the much larger num ber of intermediate points us will at least preserve the revenues of tlie carriers. “The Task of revision is no easy one. It lias been undertaken in loyal effort to conform to Hie law, as now interpreted, and to be fair to all. "Departures from tlie long and short haul principle in the South are not confined to interstate traffic. There are in the South a great many intra state rates that do not conform to the principle. If undue discriminations are to be avoided, these intrastate rates must be brought into harmony with the revised interstate adjustment being made under the direction of the Interstate Commerce Commission. It is the purpose of the railways of the South to take up each intrastate revis ion witli tlie Several State Railroad Commissions.” Yes, She Did Know. Many years ago, in an old French church in Berne, a great choir under the famous old leader, Father Relchcl, vus having its final rehearsal for the production of the “Messiah.” The chorus had triumphantly sung through to the place where the Boprano solo takes up the refrain, “l Know That My Redeemer i.iveth.” The singer wus a beautiful woman, whose voice had been faultlessly trained, As the tones came out high and clear the listeners were tilled with wonder at her perfect technique. Her breathing was fault less, her note plucing perfect, her enunciation beyond criticism. After tlie final note there was a pause, and all eyes were turned to ward the old conductor to catch his look of approval. Great was the sur prise, however, when a sharp rap of the baton was heard, as a command for the orchestra to pause, and with a look of sorrow Father Reichel said to the singer, “My daughter, you do not really know that your Redeemer livelh, do you?” With a Hushed face, she replied, “Why, yes. I think I do.” “Then sing it,” ho cried. “Sing it from your heart. Tell it to mo so l and all who hear you will know, and know that you know, the joy and power of it.” Then with an imperious ges ture he motioned for the orchestra to go over it again. This time the young woman sung with no thought of herself or of tech nique or of applause from her hearers. She sung the truth that she knew in her.heart and experienced in her life and that she wished to send home to the hearts of the listeners. As tlie last notes died away there was no wonder at the craftsman’s work, but there were quickened hearts that had been moved by the glorious message they had received. As tlie singer stood, forgetful of applause, the old muster stepped up and with tears in his eyes kissed her on the forehead and said, "You do know, for you have told me.” Unclaimed Letters.

STOMACH TROUBLE 1 FOR FIVE YEARS Majority of Friends Thought Mr. Hughes Would Die, But One Helped Him to Recovery. Pomeroyton, Ky.—In interesting ad vices from this place, Mr. A. J. Hughes writes as follows: “1 was down with stomach trouble for five (5) years, and would have sick headache so. bad, at times, that I thought surely I would die. I tried different treatments, but they did not seem to do me any good. I got so bad, 1 could not eat or sleep, and all my friends, except one, thought I would die. He advised me lo try Thcdford’s Black-Draught, and quit | taking other medicines. I decided to take his advice, although 1 did not have any confidence in it. I have now been taking Black-Draught for three months, and it has cured me— haven’t had those awful sick headaches since 1 began using it. ! am so thankful for what Black- Draught lias done for ine.” Thcdford’s Black-Draught has been found a very valuable medicine for de rangements of tlie stomach and liver. It is composed of pure, vegetable herbs, contains no dangerous ingredients, and acts gently, yet surely. It can be freely used by young and old, and should be kept in every family chest.

J. F. LEE DRUG CO., Reliable Druggists Sole Agents o © © © © © © © © © ©©©©©©©©©©©©© f Turning from a cotton regime to growing at least a home supply of roughage, what can the average Geor gia farmer produce easiest? Among the crops that can be successfully grown for bay are oats and vetch, wheat and vetch, rye, vetch and crim son clpver, crimson clover singly, cow- peas, soy beans, cow peas with sor ghum or millet, sorghum sown broad cast and thickly, and corn. To grow grasses, alfalfa and other hay ciops is 'more difficult and should he enter ed into gradually. Every farmer in Georgia can grow enough of one or more of the com binations mentioned to supply his home demands and have some to sell to the live stock owner in the city and town. Every crop mentioned pro duces heavily and comparatively little acreage wfli be needed to meet all of Georgia’s demands for roughage. Oats and vetch afford a combination equal if not superior to any other crop grown for hay during the winter sea son. Cow peas alone but preferably cow peas sown with millet produce a luxuriant pasture as a summer growth. Sorghum alone or in com bination xvith cow peas, provide a splendid summer hay crop. When sown alone it should be sown thickly so that the stalk will be as small as possible. When corn is gathered at the right time and shredded it forms a rough- age nearly equal to timothy in feeding value. This valuable feeding mate rial is very generally allowed to go to waste in the South. Of course many legumes do well in Georgia, but a legume hay fed with out. association with oilier roughage makes too rich a protein food, and live stock do not do so well on it. Georgia need not he dependent upon the west for hay. It can and should grow its own roughage. Many times more animals can be supported on home-grown feeds than are now be ing raised. The more animals fed, tiie more fertile the acres will he and the more permanently successful will be the agriculture of the state. This is the year to begin to grow all the feed for the animals on the farm, and Hie time to grow vastly more of human food than has ever been grown in Georgia.
