DECEPTION BY JOURNAL,
CHARGES JOSEPH BROWN
Office of Railroad Commission of
Georgia.—To the People of Georgia; I
have shown that The Atlanta Journal,
In Its attempts to weaken the railroad
commission of Georgia, created a mar
ble quarry at Blue Ridge, Ga., forty-
one miles north of the real quarries,
and published from It to Savannah,
Brunswick and several points on the
Atlantic Coast Line railroad rates
which It Is said were "fixed by the
Georgia railroad commission,” but
which were from 4 to 6 cents per 100
pounds higher than would have been
this commission's rates If such ai quar
ry were there.
Not content, however, with saying
that the railroad commission fixed cer
tain high rates from a fictitious quarry,
The Atlanta Journal also published
fame fictitious rates on marble from
the real quarries at Tate. Ga., and
styled them "rates fixed by the railroad
commission of Georgia.” I give below
The Atlanta Journal's rates and the
railroad commission's rates;
Atlanta Journal's R. R. C.'s
Rates. Rates.

nn the strength of the rates It pub-
I 1 .hod, ns shown In the first column.
The Atlanta Journal charged that Ver
mont marble was being shipped to each
of the points at less rates than the
railroad commission of Oeorgla per
mitted the railroads In qeorgla to
charge from the quarries In Georgia to
the same points. But the publication
of the true rates shows that the rates
from even Burlington, Vt„ are higher
m every Georgia point The Journal
named save to the two coast cities
end in Waycross, which haa a short
l'»»l rate from Brunswick.
Brought as Ballast.
Now, Burlington Is on Lake cham-
l’lain, and a schooner, coming from
Hint point to Brunswick, Ga., lor cross-
’ic' for the Rutland railway, can be
loaded with marble for ballast at the
"harr in Burlington and ran unload It
ei the wharf In Brunswick. The At
lanta Journal, therefore, ‘opens Are
U|iin the railroad commission of Geor
gia because It "permits" the rates over
33'i miles of railroad to be a» high as
ihe all-water ballast rata fixed by a
schooner from a Vermont lake port to
Brunswick. The excuse, of course, Is
'hut the rate being fixed by the all-
"ater route from Burlington, the rail 1
■ml water lines compete for the busl-
gM of the Burlington group, the
"because It 'permits' Vermont marble
to Invade the sacred aoll of Georgia!"
It Is true that this unholy Yankee
product only touches our coast cities
nnd slips out to one ascertained local
point near Brunswick, but “Georgians,
cast out your recreant sons who 'per
mit' this lodgment of the foe on even
our borders!"
But, let us look through the other
end of the telescope. What is that
which looms up like a black cloud,
threatening calamity to Georgia? It Is
the "port rate!" But, why docs that
oft-preached panacea for all of Geor
gia's woes now. like the hoar-frost,
blight every flower In Georgia's marble
halls?
Let us dismiss levity and look at the
facta. For a year Hon. Hoke Smith
and The Atlanta. Journal have relent
lessly condemned the railroad commis
sion of Georgia because of Its denial
of their "port rate" petition. Original
ly professedly Died for Atlanta's bene
fit, they now admit that If granted,
relative figures must have been extend
ed to other Georgia cltlos. It was In
tended to cover every Item (about 3,-
300) In fourteen classes of freight. The
people (first) of Atlanta and (after
wards) of Georgia, were to be allowed
to receive almost all the products of
outside fields and factories on cheap
"port rates.”
Among these products was Vermont
Special to The Georgian.
McRae, Ga., June 14.—M the called
meeting of the directors of the Cltlsens'
Bank held here yesterday peculiar dr
cumstances were developed In the re.
cent conduct of Cashier Olln Pharr.
After carefully going over the books,
accounts and cash on hsnd, all were
found In an excellent condition, and all
thought of hta guilt of appropriating
the funds has been dispelled, and the
bank officials and cltlsens still ex
press their great confidence In his In
nocence.
The 34,000 shortage mentioned In yes
terday's Georgian resulted from his
having cashed several worthless checks
and drafts, several of them dating back
some time ago, and among which was
one drawn on some Eastern firm for
31,800, which he had failed to charge to
the loss of the bank.
This shortage was promptly filled by
the directors and there will be no pros
ecutions to follow; In fact, several of
the bank officers nnd cltlsens express
themselves as not only willing, but
anxious for his return to hla family,
and are willing to employ him again.
So thoroughly convinced of hie In
nocence are several of the citizens that
they are willing to make up the short
nge, and Jt has been offered from aev
eral sources, could he be Induced to
return.
His leaving everything In such shape
and a vault full of money shows con
ctuslvely that he had no criminal In
tent.

“Down with the railroad commission
ot ( >< orgla," cries Tbe Atlanta Journal,
of which take two-thlrda of sixth class
rate. The sixth class rate they de
manded from "the ports" to Atlanta
waa 15 cents per 100 pounds. Hence
the rate they excoriate the railroad
commission for not naming from, say.
Savannah to Atlanta on Vermont mar
ble In less than car loada was 10.cents
per 100 pounds. And, If we had havA
yielded to their demand and named
this rate to Atlanta, wp must have
named the same rate (10 cents)
from Savannah to Athens, Albany,
Americus, Columbus, Mllledgevtlle ami
Hawklnsvllle. And wa, must have
named 12 cents "to Rome, and, possi
bly, even lower than 3 cents to Macon,
and 8 cents to Augusta.
"Port Rates."
These "port rates" would have ruin
ed the Oeorgla marble shippers If we
had not co-ordinately have reduced
their rates from Tate, etc., by as many
cents as we reduced the Savannah
rates on the Vermont marble. But
to do this we would have had to take
12 cents per 100 pounds off of the rate
from Tate to Atlanta, for Instance. But
the rate from Tate to Atlanta la only
12 cents. Therefore, If we had not
forced the rallroade to haul Georgia
marble free from Tate to Atlanta, we
would have struck Its shippers a dis
astrous blow by acceding to the de
mand for "port rates" made by Hon.
Hoke Smith and The Atlanta Journal.
Let me say here that two-thirds of

ought to reduce that by taking off the

courts, which have enjoined the lesser
reduction ordered by tue commission,

mand and take off 20 per cent, then

The Journal demanded from Bruns,
wick and Savannah to Atlanta for the
movement of this Vermont marble,
with corresponding rates from the
ports to other Georgia cities from
Americus and Columbus to Athens and
Rome. What, tn such events. If the
courts had have let them stand, would
have become of the shippers of Georgia
marble for whom Hon. Hoke Smith
and The Atlanta Journal have sudden
ly developed such marked solicitude?
"Under which king, Bexonlan?” Shall
the railroad commission of Georgia
"permit" the present rates to stand,
knowing that they give the shippers of
Georgia marble less rates than Ver
mont has to all Georgia points except
the coastal rim to which they are
practically equal; or shall It meet The
Atlanta Journal's demand and reduce
the local ratea on that rim, and thus
"permit” Vermont marble to encroach
still farther Into Interior Georgia
shall It override (If possible) the Uni
ted States supreme court and put In
the "port rate" demanded by Hon. Hoke
Smith and The Atlanta Journal and
thereby "permit” Vermont marble to
meet Georgia marble even handed In
all Interior Georgia? Or shall It. to
give Vermont and Georgia marble op
portunity for a free fight all over
Georgia force the railroads to haul Ver
mont marble at "port rates" and
Georgia marble free? Which horn will
you choose? Instruct us, please.
1 will show later that the rates on
marble fixed by the railroad commls
slon of Georgia are lower than the In
tra-state rates of any adjoining atate,
lower than those In Vermont, and I
will show that Mr. J. B. Roberts' con,
tentlon was that If the rates on marble
from Vermont were proved to be lower
than the rates from Tate, Ga., to eight
points on the lower rim of Georgia
the railroad commission ought to re
duce the rates on marble from Tate to
every point In Oeorgla.
