•—The change of • schedule on
the Perry Branch railroad 1 affects
only th’e leaving' time of the morn 1 -
i-ng and afternoon trains. The
lhorniug train now leaves Perry
at 5:40, and connects directly with
the train for Macon, i’lie after
noon train now leaves at 2:15, and
Conuects directly with the train
for Columbus; but passengers for
MacoU will have to'wait" about two'
hours at Fort Yalley.-

The . Georgia legislature has
very properly deCfd’ed that rail-
londs are subject td taxation in
each county through .Which they
pass. Railroads slWrila certainly
bear equally with other property
the burdens of taxation, and jus
tice demands that the bounties
whereiu they are located should
Control that taxation, audhaVe use
'of the revenue money raised.
The legislature has also en
larged thb powet of the railroad
commission to fix and control
rates. Heretofore the commission
had no power to make joint rates
where ffiore thrill one railroad is
concerned iii carrying passengers
or freight. Now this power is
granted, and there can be no un
reasonable or excessive rates
ehnrged under the excuse that
moye than oue railroad is concern
ed in the haul. The Commission
now has the power to lift from the
people of small towns, especially
those oi* branch roads, the op
pressive burden of “local” rates:
We deeni it entirely proper tliiit
i'ailroad rates shall be controlled
by state authority, a3 by that au
thority valuable and' peculiar
privileges are enjoyed by the rail
roads. Attempts have been made;
however, by legislators, to oppress
railroad owners; in that it was
sought to circumscribe the owner 5
Ship of jailroad property.
We do not believe it is the
grovince of the state to say who
shall, or who shall not, be owners
of railroad property, and the pro
posed bills on that line weie very
properly defeated.
It is about conceded that the
democrats of Montana have elect
ed their candidate for governor
and a majority of the legislators,
but in some instances the vdfce was
so close that a decisive conclusion
cannot be reached until the offi
cial count is ftiade, which ddttiit
may not be concluded and de
clared before next Tuesday, the
limit of delay allowed by law—15
days from the election.

TSebe are in Georgia eighty
four cotton mills in which 476,000
spindles are operated. These fig
ures place Georgia ahead of all
other southern states in the manu
facture of cotton. During the last
year the mills in Georgia con
sumed 154,000 bales of cotton,
though the Augusta mills were
stopped four months on account
of ri break iii the canal. Georgia
is decidedly great in' manufac
tures, as well as Agriculturally.
“Sandy” Wilcox, the gambler
recently convicted under the va
grant law, by the City Recorder
of Macon, has been released by
Judge Gnstin. The case Was car
ried to the superior court by writ
of certiorari, which was sustained
on the ground that he had been
convicted without any pleadings
against him on any written
charges as to the offense, which
Was an offense against the state
laws; ‘
The State fair authorities. say
nine of the best agricultural coun
ties have entered the contest for
the best county exhibit, and thus
an exceptionally excellent agricul
tural exhibit is assured. This will
surely be worth' seeing, and Geor
gia farffiers will attend numerous

er departments will be equally
full and interesting, and a grand
exposition of Georgia products

The cotton crop around Powers*,

several bands hunting work on
yesterday, but could not find any
around here. They do not like to
go any considerable distance off
to work, complaining that it is too
hard on them to work after having
to walk so far. . We travelled’ the
whole road to Perry and back

with cotton, and the farmers com
plaining that they .cannot get

In the case of the new road from

who stated that fie Add ilr. Dasher

things 'considered, it is decidedly
preferable to begin the newspaper

is bfist for subscribers, because
that IS the hsual time for settling
