LOWER COTTON RATE
Suggests That Railroad

on Port Rates.
In a letter addressed to the prison
commission Tuezday afternoon Gov
ernor Smith recommended a reduction
of 5 cents per 100 pounds on the charge
for hauling cotton from all Interior
points to the ports of Georgia.
The governor expresses the opinion
that the reduction suggested would be
equitable and fair, and he' suggests
that they take up the matter In con
nectlon with the hearing on the rates
for Iron products and coffee to and
from the ports and which Is set for a
hearing before the commtsslonon
May 6.
You will remember." concludes Gov

passed In 1907 places the duty upon

petition of no citizen Is necessary for
the purpose of causing action from the
commission.”
