a business appointment, and if. as

State Railway Commission Is Un
able to Classify It Under Geor
gia Freight Tariffs,
Members of the State Railroad
Commission walked solemnly about
a five-foot length of dogwood iog
Tuesday. Then they sat down and
scratched their heads. The log had
giv«n them more trouble and anxiety
than the compilation of their volumi
nous annual report. Even J. Price
Webster, rate expert, was in a quan
dary as to the rate classification the
commonplace appearing piece of wood
should receive.
The log wa« shippedydJy express
from Savannah and (hie Railroad
Commission was petitioned by three
separate interests to classify it. Each
Irfterest had a different rate it wished
imposed.
The Pelham & Havana Railroad,
running out of Cairo, wanted it
classed under “handles, beams and
other woods for manufacturing pur
poses.” Thir rate is 14 ecu's

offices, ft has been unable to render

AtsotiLTovot
He Meant Well
At Any Rate.
“I was amused last Sunday after
noon.” said a gentleman who lives
in Ormewood, “by a little Incident
which happened on a Soldiers’ Home
car on which I was a passenger. 1
wan on my way home and when the
car started from the corner of De
catur and Peachtree Streets it was
pretty well crowded. Several of the
rear seats were occupied by negro
men Half a dozen blocks out the
car stopped and a negro woman got
on. She was dressed in the latest
fashion—hobble skirt and all and she
had some difficulty In negotiating the
car steps.
“She got aboard. however, and
caused a stir among the negro men
passengers. They recognized her as
some 'tony' cook going visitipg to
show off her flashy Sunday clothes
and they bestirred themselves to
show her every courtesy.
"One of the negroes jumped up
from his seat and waved an eloquent
hand in the direction of the vacated
place.
“ Take dis ‘-eat.’ he said, with a
winning smile.
1 Thanks so much,’ was the lan
guid answer, but I don't wish to de
prive you-alls.’
“ No depravity—no depravity,' ejac
ulated the other, and half the car
was convulsed.”
The Laziest Man
Was This One.
“I have heard of lazy persons,” said
the drug clerk, “but the worst was
one that a well-known physician told
me about the other evening when he
dropped in here to get some supplies
for his medicine chest.
“According to tlie doctor this man
lived down in Arkansas in one of
the small river towns. He was the
proprietor of a general store.
“One afternoon he was sitting down
behind the counter reading the last
issue of the country weekly wnen a
customer came in. The customer
vyas a woman. She wanted a piece
of red calico, and had a sample of
the goods to show exactly what she
did want.
“ ‘Uncle George,' said she, ‘I wan-
ter git some goods like this here,
fs you got any?’
" I reckon I is,’ said Uncle George,
‘but sposin’ you-alls comes around
to-morrow when I’m a-standin’ up
an' 1 wait on you.’ ”
