Members of the State Railroad
Gommlaslon walked solemnly about
a five-foot length of dogwood ,jg
Tuesday. Then they sat down and
scratched their heads. Th< log had
given them more trouble and anxiety
than the compilation of their volumi
nous annual repori. Even J. Price
Webster, rate expert, was In a quan
dary as to the rate classification the
ommonplace appearing piece of wood
should receive.
The log was hipped by express
trom Savannah and fhe Railroad
Gornmiasion was petitioned by three
separate interests to classify it. Each
interest had a different rate it wished
imposed.
The Pelham & Havana Railroad,
running out of Cairo, warned it
classed under "handles, beams and
other woods for manufacturing pur
pose*." This rate is 14 cents. *
The man who received the ship
ments for export to Germany, where 1
ax handles and spokes arc made of
the rough wood, thought the regu- |
lar lumber rates, about 9 certs, was
ju»t.
The Atlantic (’oast Line, which de-I
livers the wood at Savannah, de- 1
manded that the Railroad Commission j
fix the regular cordwood rate, $2.10 I

But the Commission has no clas-j
si Oration that exactly describes that
five-foot length of dogwood in its!
offices. It has been unable to render ,
a decision.

was on my way home and when the
car started from the comer of De

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
passenger.-. 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 rib- seat,’ he said, with a
winning smile.
“ ‘Thanks so much,' was the lan- i
guid answer, but l don’t wish to de- j
prive you-alls.\

ulated the other, and half the car
was convulsed."
