Editor The Georgian: What I should like explained is. are there any merits to the P. A. Y. E. cars Their inconvenience is sure marked, and principally the ears of the present construction are an imposition upon the white public. During tush hours the whites naturally occupy more than their quota of seats, and as a conse quence the rear of the coach is pack ed with standing negroes This com pels our women folks to elbow their way to the front of the coach, which is next to a physical impossibility for even a man, unless of the physique of Jim Jeffries. It appears to me. before the transit company adopt northern ideas as to coaches, they should study local conditions. Their engineers could have secured plans of the coaches used in some of our cities whereby the pas sengers enter from the middle or two thirds back. This divides the coach into two separate and distinct com partments. The negroes should occupy the rear compartment and the whites the front Furthermore, this type of coach was designed principally for its rapidity in loading and unloading pas sengers. For my part, I fail to see where the transit company is gaining time at stops with the present P. A. Y. E. cars. The only reason their schedule time is shortened is due entirely to the fact that the trucks are equipped with heavy motors, and the elapse of time front dead stop to full speed is short ened over the light trucks. Yours very truly, FRED MALTHANER. ALABAMA DEPUTY CONSUL. GADSDEN, ADA..

DIE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS- TWTtSDAY. MAY 30. 1912. STATE WILL TEST RAILRATERIGHTS The right of the state railroad com mission to originate rates over the Western and Atlantic ailroad under the terms of the lease contract, now in existence between the state and the Nashville. Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad, will be tested in the third di vision of the superior court tomorrow. Judge Pendleton today granted a spe cial order for the hearing of the in junction suit brot ”ht by the state to enforce the terms of the contract to apply Georgia freight classifications to Chattanooga shipments. The suit, tiled six months ago under instructions from former Governor Hoke Smith, alleges a breach of con tract on the part of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis for failure to submit Georgia freight rates on in terstate shipments over the line of the Western and Atlantic. The state's action came after pro tests from the Atlanta Freight bureau. The local organization first appeared before the state railroad commission. The commission sent the matter to Governor Brown, asserting that If ths petition was to be effective action must he taken by the state under the lease contract, as the commission was pow erless to maintain rates on Interstate shipments. Governor Brown returned the matter to the commission for further infor mation. Governor Smith was in of fice when it came back. It went to tjie commission a second time, and after an exhaustive hearing, went again to Gov ernor Smith, who finally ordered a suit. The state will be represented by At torney General Felder and Judge J. K. Hines, special attorney for the railroad commission. Tye. Peeples & Jordan, district attorneys, and Judge Claude Waller, of Nashville, general counsel for the Nashville. Chattanooga and St. Louis, will represent the Western & Atlantic. Thomas W. Mitchell, Thomas W. Mitchell, two years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. E, W. Mitchell, of Kirkwood, who died last night, was buried In Westview today.

The jurist's decision came when he dissolved the temporary injunction granted the Georgia Athletic club, a Forsyth street organization. The club had operated two months under the injunction which had been obtained after the city council had refused to grant the club a permit. Certain phases of the court’s ruling eventually may affect every locker club In Atlanta. The court maintained that there was not an organization of similar nature, selling drinks through the cheek system, that was not at least in technical violation of the pro hibition law. Judge Pendleton's" decision w as based strictly on the fact that the club had been refused a permit under the new ordinance and the city could not be re strained from enforcing the ordinance. Attorneys for the club Immediately gave notice of an appeal. Argument brought out the point that the practice in vogue in Atlanta locker clubs of allowing non-residents to pur chase drinks on cards extended by members might be in violation of the law. The point was that members are assumed to have, lockers and drinks purchased by them from their own lockers. With guests the revenue from the sale of liquor goes to the club treas ury.
