Alabama Commission May Be Asked to Prevent Action. Full Text of the Franchise. By the committee oh onliiuiuces ami leg.

Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 7.—Attention of the Alabama railroad commission has been called to the Increase In the long distance telephone rates and the f object will probably be taken up at tho next meeting. It Is known that cbm- plaint has been made to W. D. Nesbitt, one of the members of tho commls elon, and It Is said that the matter has been reported to other members of tho commission. The railroad commission has supervision over long distance tel ephone lines and express companies, under the terms of a law enacted by the legislature at Its recent session. Under the terms of the order of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, Issued some time ago, the night rate was abolished September 1 during tho period of the telegraph rtilke. The only excuse offered by the tel# phone company In Birmingham Is that the night rate was taken advantage of by so many that business was con gested. It Is claimed that the compa ny had more than It could do between the hours of 6 and 8 o'clock In the evening—two hours—and that the raising of the rates would enable It to adjust the volume of business. It Is believed by many that the Ala bama railroad commission will take ac tion similar to tho commission of North Carolina.

It Is difficult to make people believe that coffee lajan absolute poison to at least one person out of every three, but people are slowly finding it out, al though thousands of them suffer terri bly before they discover the fact. A New York hotel man says: "Each time after drinking coffee I became restless, nervous and excited, so that I was unable to sit live minutes In one place, was also Inclined to vomit and suffered from loss of sleep, which got »orse and worse, “A lady said that perhaps coffee was the cause of my trouble, and suggested that I try Postum Food Coffee. I laughed at the thought that coffee hurt hie, but she Insisted so hard that I finally had some Postum made. I have been using It In place of coffee ever "Inee, for I noticed that all my former nervousness and Irritation dlsappear- I began to sleep perfectly, and the Postum tasted as good or better than 'he old coffee, so what was the use of 'ticking to a beverage that was ruin Ing him? "One day on an excursion up the "intry I remarked to a young lady "■lend on her greatly Improved appear- ■nce. she explained that some time “Tor* she had quit using coffee and iken Postum.

Read "The d to WclIvUlc.'' lu plcgi. The Georgian Complies With Real Purport of Mr. Terrell’s Suggestion „ „ , Atlanta, Ga.. Sept. 6. 1907. Editor of The Georgian, City: My Dear Friend—I have read your challenge to members of the city council who voted for the Bell franchise, and hasten to inform you that I can not accept the same for many reasons, two or three of which I wlir furnish you, namely: I have to work for a living. It is altogether improbable that I could convince you that you are in error. Newspapers always have the last word in a controversy. However, I challenge you to publish the franchise, word for word. In black-faced type on your front page, and alongside of your arguments against the same, so that the public may Judge for Itself whether your arguments are founded on facts or on what you think are facts. Very truly your friend, W. H. TERRELL. Councilman from the First Ward. Some Arguments Against It. The ordinance, as will be seen, grants a 33-year franchise to the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Com pany. Section 7 is the one that most Inter cf-ts the public. It Is this section which stipulates what the city will get In con slderatlon of the valuable grants mode, and It Is here taken up. Item by Item. No. 1. The Bell Telephone Company shall pay to the city 1 per cent of Its gross receipts during the life of the franchise. The gross receipts for this year, estimated, will be $400,000. One per cent of this would be $4,000. From this $4,000 It la stipulated ... “a,” section 7, there shall be deducted specific registration fees, business 11 cense*, all special taxes on poles and conduits and the franchise tax. These deductions will amount io $3,421, ac cording to the figures of the Bell Com pnny’s own officials. The city will get $4,000 minus $3,421. or $579. Richmond gets 3 per cent. Norfolk gets 2 per cent. New Orleans gets about $17,000 a year. It Is proposed to give Atlanta $579. No. 2. The company shall furnish one cross arm on each pole and one duct In all conduits. Section 1284 of tho city code already provides that the company MUST furnish this duct. The city has tho free use of It now and will continue to have It, without the aid of this ordinance. Section 1291 provides that the city may have tho right to place fire alarm wires on all poles, much for that. No. 3. The company shall furnish the city twenty-five free telephones. The company has furnished twelve for several years, and the competing com puny has been furnishing twenty-five almost since ihe day It began business in Atlanta. No. 4. The company shall give the city 33 1-3 per cent discount on all oth er telephones used by the city. Atlanta now gets, and has been getting for sev. eral years, tho same reduction as this ordinance provides for the future, but did not get It until the competing com pany made such a low bid that it had to be granted by the Bell In self-de fense. No. 5. The company shall furnish to {he city telephones, consisting of tr&ns. mltters and receivers, for the signal boxes of the entire police and fire alarm systems of the city. There are no tele, phones in the fire alarm boxes, nor Is there any place to put them, so this proposition Is not only absurd but Im possible. There' are 62 police signal boxes, and Bell telephones are not used in any of them. If they were, and a new set were put in every two years, which Is Inconceivable, the total cost to the company would hardly exceed $50 per annum. Bolted down to its real substance, tho city gets altogether just $579 a year— the paltry 1 per cent with the reduc tion of practically 7-8 of that, leaving just 1-8 of 1 per cent. Tho Georgian maintains that $579 a yiar Is litlN more than nothing for such a valuaJo franchise, and there fore characterizes the ordlnipice passed by council as a “franchise grab.’’ The Southern Bell’s old grants were only for certain streets, while the new one Is general and gives that corpora tion absolute freedom In planting poles, hying conduits and the like without asking by-your-leave of anybody. including poles, fixture, ductorg upon, along and for electrics] conductors, together with the necessary man-holes, under the public roads, streets and highways.of the city of Atlanta, as its business from time to time require, subject to the provisions, conditions uud restrictions hereinafter mentloucd. Provided, that no pole nor overhead elec trical conductor, except distribution poles and such electrical conductors as may be ‘ ed for local distribution In connection said sub-ways, shall In* erected or maintained In that section of said city of Atlanta now designated, or which may be designated from time to time as the "under ground district,” or the inner district of the “fire limits.” 2. That the work of erecting poles and constructing sub-ways shall be done under the supervision of the city electrician, or the street committee, or such other person or persons ns the city council may desig nate. And the said Southern Jlell Telephone nnd Telegraph Company shall replace and properly relay nud keep In repair nuy part of said sidewalk or street that may bo ** “ , ~~ _l d by reason “ “ of such pol failure of company so to do notice lu writing have bet city to said company, the such portion of the sldew may have boon disturbed by said company, and collect the cost ho Incurred from saltl company. Upon notice In writing from the city that a municipal Improvement, sewer or water main or branch thereof Is to tic constructed or repaired In such a manner as will necessitate the relocation of Its poles or conduits, or.other appurteunnecs of said company, the company shall relo cate the same at Its own expense so ns to of recovered from aalu company. 3. No electric light or power wires shall be placed in • said sub-ways, or struug upon said poles, nor shall the wires, cables or appurtenances of any kind of any person, corporation or other company operating a local telephone exchange In Atlanta he placed lu said sub-ways or upon said poles without tho consent of the Southern Hell Telephone and Telegraph Compouy aud the city of Atlanta. 4. Bald company shall nt all times tie subject to tho city ordinances now in ex istence or which may be hereafter passed relative to the use of the public streets, alleys and highways by telephone and tele graph companies, and shall promptly place underground any portion or Its overhead system necessary to comply with any gen eral ordinance enlarging ihe present under ground district. 5. Said company shall Indemnify and aave harmless the city of Atlanta ngnlnst all claim for damages, whether to persous or construction, . .. . _ any poles, fix tures. electrics! conductors, subways, man holes. distributing poles, or other aiintlances or appurtenances nuthorlxed by this ordl nance, or by reason of any wrongful.

SAY ABOUT CHARTIER SHORTHAND. Oklahoma and Indian Territory in Heatec Campaign For State and County Offices. Muscogee, 1. T., Sept. 7.—"Down with the carpet bagger!" This Is the battle cry of the Demo crats In the present and the first po litical campaign In the Indian and Ok lahoma territories, which will come to a close when the people vote for Joint statehood ajid for state and county of ficers on September 16. t This campaign la one of the most re. markable In the annals of the United States, from the fact that the citizens of the two territories are dealing with situation somowhat similar to the condition that existed In the South at the close of the Civil War, In the gloomy and desolate days of recon struction, with the exception, of course, of the more repulsive features. The cry "Down with the carpet bagger resounding through the two territories with almost the same energy as It did throughout the length and breadth of the Southland. And It Is this extraordinary feature of this heated campaign that Is dally gaining strength for tho Democrats and will be largely responsible for a Dem ocratic victory at the polls. Those Individuals to whom the term "carpet bagger” Is being npplled arc the officeholders In the territories, pol iticians picked from the Northern. Eastern and middle Western states and appointed by the president to fat of fices In the territories. AU of the Judgeships and practically all of the offices of value and responsibility are said to be held by "carpet baggers." By CLAUDE NEALY. As It Is expressed by the Democrats "Total strangers shipped by the pres Ident Into tho territories with a com mission and a free pass In their pock ets." The Democrats feel that these of. Acts should have been given to citizens of the territories, and declare that the Republican mode of dishing out the pie was nothing more than a political move to strengthen the party as much as possible in other states. They argue that the home people have boon treat ed to a severe Jolt by tho Importation of "foreigners” to govern them, and nssert that now Is the golden opportu nity for the people to turn and slap back. Their method of doing this Is to shoot at the head of every "carpet bagger" that bobs up for office under the new regime of statehood. Practically all of the presidential appointees arc nald to be candidates for election to their pres ent offices or soms other equally as good, and this has caused the raising of tho war whoop: "Down with the carpet bagger! Many Republicans are siding with th6 Democrats on this Issue and It looks like "easy money" for the Dem ocrats.
