The Eatonton crowd came down on a special train and went back late at night, several, how ever, staying over in Milledgeville for a few days. The fact that the Eatonton troupe re ceived such a cordial welcome from the public generally in Milledgeville has been the source of no little pleasure to the G. M.

First baseman Sharpe, of the Newark team, will coach the local ball team dur ing his stay here and it is expected that good results will be obtained from the practice work carried on under his supervision.

In response to an appeal by the Geor gia railroad for permission to take off one of the trains operating on the Ma con branch of the road the railroad com mission of Georgia has decided that it cannot allow such action on the part of the road and the train must continue. In this connection Milledgeville was Vitally interested and Mayor Miller S. Bell appeared before the commission at the time the hearing was in progress and looked after local interests in an excellent manner. The road also asked for permission to raise the passenger tariff from two and a quarter cents per mile to two and one half cents, but this was also denied by the commission. According to figures recently compiled it seems that the railroads ot the state are still making much money and consequertlv there was no reason for allowing the special privileges asked by the Georgia road. The net earnings of Georgia roads in general, as recently outlined, show that this state is well up in the forefront de spite the fact that a good daal of agita tion has been created concerning the matter.
