NEWNAN HERALD
NEWNAN, FRIDAY, JAN. 7.
Seek to Mislead.
Commerce News,
Some of the daily papers of the State
are unfair in their editorials and news
items, relativo to the change of freight
rates, these newspapers, published in
large cities, that have heretofore en
joyed Bpecial privileges at the expense
of the small towns, seek to leave the
impression that the railroads are re
sponsible for the increase in rates; and,
further, they seek to create the errone
ous impression that the smaller towns
will be sufferers as a result, when as a
matter of fact the railroads are in no
sense responsible for the abolition of
the system heretofore in vogue, since
the law to abolish the old system and
introduce the new woe passed by Con
gress in 1910, and the Interstate Com
merce Commission has put the railroads
on notice thBt the law must be respect
ed and applied. The railroads, there
fore, are simply complying with the
new law, as interpreted by the afore
said commission. And because, in its
application, the new schedule will raise
the rate on freight shipped to the large
cities, formerly known as basic points,
these newspapers that protest against
its application are seeking to make the
impression that the railroads have ar
bltrarlly raised the rates, and that thq
people in the rural sections will Buffer
equally with those in the large centers.
Such conclusions are absolutely un
warranted. As a mattor of fact, the
rate has been raised on the clticB that
have enjoyed special privileges, but it
has been lowered on all the smaller
towns. The trouble with the large cit
ies In this fight 1b that their special
privileges have been taken from them.
They are no longer recognized as basic
points. They are placed on a parity
with the small towns. And, whereas,
heretofore freight rates wore based on
certain cities as basic pointB, under the
new order mileage will bo recognized
as the basis. These large cities are
fighting to hold what thoy now have.
They are unwilling for the common
people lo be placed on an equal basis
with them. They are fighting the Dem
ocratic principle which demands equal
rights for all and special privileges to
none. They want to retain their Bpecial
privileges, on which thoy have grown
fat. The Btrange and unaccountable
feature is, why this discrimination haB
been tolerated all these years. Recog
nizing tho injustice on the one hand
nnd the saneness on the other, Congress
said by legal statute that the discrimi
nation should cease, and the Interstate
Commerce Commission is simply en
forcing that law. The effort that At
lanta and Birmingham are making will,
in the end, prove futile.
EVERYBODY SEES A
CHANGE IN FATHER,
SAYS GRATEFUL
SON.
Farmer Suffered for Over Twenty
Years and'Paid Out Thousands.
“My father has suffered from chronic
stomach trouble for over 20 years and
has paid out thousands of dollars on
medicines and doctors,” said G. W.
Slayton, a well-known Cobb county
farmer, who lives near Smyrna, a short
distance out of Atlanta.
“Wo tried nearly everything trying
to cure him, and he went off to the
springs, thinking maybe the water
would help him, but it just looked like
nothing would reach his trouble. Then
he tried dieting, and lived on liquid
food until he almost starved—but even
that failed to do any good, and be just
kept going from bad to worse.
“I don’t guess there ever was a case
aB stubborn as his, and if there ever
was a confirmed dyspeptic he was one
of them, and I guess he would have
been one yet if it hadn’t been for this
Tanlac.
“The first we heard of this medicine
was when my father saw an advertise
ment in the papers from parties he
knew in Tennessee, who were friends
of his, and he knew what they said
about it was the truth—bo he got it
right away and began taking it.
“Well, sir, it acted just like magic—
and everybody notices the change
father now. Why, he Ib just like a dif
ferent man, and sits down to the table
and eats like a farm hand. Only yes
terday ho ate pork and turnips for his
dinner, and ate so much we were actu
ally afraid he was overdoing the thing,
but he laughed and said nothing hurt
him now, and that he was hungry and
expected to eat and make up for lost
time.
“Now, when a medicine will do things
like that I think people ought to know
about it, and I want to say right now
that I would not give one bottle of Tan
lac for all the other medicines and
health resorts in tho country put to
gether.”

A King Worth While.
Jackson (Miss.) Nows.
Ho rode on the observation platform
of a cotton wagon.
His fleecy staple had just brought 12
cents per pound.
The money was down in his pocket.
No man had an account against him
for a dime.
Tho mules trotted along over the
smooth pavement, and biB wagon was
well filled with things needed for the
family larder.
A neat bundlo over in the corner con
tained a dtess pattern -ten yards of
blue checked gingham for the faithful
wife.
The little bBg was full of candy for
the baby.
He whistled as Pete and Beck turned
their heads homeward.
It was near eventide; n few clouds
had gathered over in the west and the
sun was cutting strange capers with
these billows of the sky. There were
islands of gold floating in a deep blue
sea; there were mountains kissed with
tho colors of the rainbow. No painter
could havb made a prettier picture; no
dreamer could hsve visioned a scene
more splendid in all the mysterious
realms of Blumberlnnd.
The occupant of the wagon enjoyed
it.
The fresh evening breexes were as
balm to his brow.
There was no enmity in his heart
against anyone.
There was no political ambition that
had gone unsatisfied.
There was no arrow of ingratitude to
stick and sting and poison.
He was a plain countryman.
He loved his wife.
He loved his baby.
He was going home to them—a king
wearing a royal crown of kindness—a
king, tender, thoughtful, affectionate,
bearing simple gifts to his subjects.
“Jones tell me he has just started
bank account for his new baby."
"I see; a fresh-heir fund."

Judge Adamson Host to Suffra
gettes.
New York Sun.
The Hon. William Charles Adamson,
who represents the Fourth Georgia dis
trict in the House of Representatives,
may have said to the young and at
tractive suffregettes who called upon
him. "Go home and get married,"
and they may thereby have been made
as hot as ginger. They should have re
mained cool and have prolonged their
visit.
The sweetnens of his nature makes it
self-evident that never since that June
day in 1874 when Bill Adamson was
graduated from Bowdon College, Bow-
don, Ga., could he ever have raised bis
voice except in kindness to any woman.
He dotes upon the fair sex; he strives
gallantly to make agreeable the visits
of women to the rooms of the Com
mittee on Interstate and Foreign Com
merce, where Col. AdamBon presides.
Even had his suffragist callers not
been young and pretty—a useless sup
position, unsupported by any visitors at
the capitol—had they not departed in
gingery haste, Chairman Adamson
would have invited them to stay for
coffee. His old negro messenger would
have shuffled down to the House res
taurant for a pitcher of cream; the
chairman would have brought forth
from a card index cabinet a paper bag
of lump sugar, a canister of fragrant
Mocha, a spirit lamp and a tin coffee
pot. None of your new-fangled per
colators for him; his is the almost lost
art of brewing old-faBhioned boiled
coffee.
It had been a keen pleasure for the
ladies to watch the chairman gather
and carefully wash his coffee service of
water glasses and cups, his spoons,
pour the bright brown brew streaming
from the pot, add cream and sugar
with many a solicitious inquiry as to
quantity, briskly order the smiling mes
senger, “Here, you boy, step lively
with those cups or I'll break your damn
black head.” The gentle spirit of hos
pitality all prevading!
In debate Chairman Adamson, it is
true, does at times turn upon an op
ponent and in language which reveals
the classical scholar, burn and wither.
But rude to women? Preposterous!
This paper nevermore cheerfully per
formed a public duty than in defending
a public servant who never had a press
agent or sent an inviting note to the
press gallery.
“Why "is it,” asked the curious guest,
"that poor men usually give larger tips
than rich men?”
“Well, suh,” said the waiter, "the
po’ man don't want nobody to know lie’s
po\ an’ the rich man don’t warft no
body to know he’s rich.”
~Men ridicule the women; women abuse
the men, but each one is only half a hu
man without the other.
