regularly organised band of pirates
■houtd exist with twenty-seven of their
number In North Carolina, and that
they should airy on their bloody craft
from the ea«i coant of Maine to the
aouthern coast of Florida, sounds like
a fairy story In the twentieth century,
but unfortunately the federal authori
ties at ths port of Wilmington, where
the Harry A. Bsrwlnd was brought In
some months ago and three negroes
on board were condemned to death for
mutiny, ‘seems to bear out most point
edly this well nlgh'unlmsglnable story-
Recently one of the three men, Scott,
received a letter at Wilmington, and,
according to custom, the jailer pro
ceeded to ascertain the nature of the
contents.
Whan he opened the letter he found
evidence that such a band aa is men-.
Honed above, really existed, and that
the terrible fate of the Harr)' A. Ber-
wlnd was a part of the work of this
band of pirates It la believed.
The letter was turned over to the
federal authorities, and they have re
fused to give out one jot of Information
regarding the same, until they have
gone to the bottom of the affair.

ATLANTA FIGHTS PLAYING HANGMAN INAKED WILD WOMAN

FREIGHT BUREAU WANTS AD
JUSTMENT ON FERTILIZER
FROM THE SEAPORTS.
fipsdsl In The Georgian.
Havann.-ih. Go., July 3.—The 8t
nah Chamber of Commerce will fight
the petition of the Atlanta Chamber
Commerce asking for a reduction I
raw fertilizer materials from the ports
of Savannah and Brunswick to Atlan
Charles Ellis, chairman of the
transportation committee, will appear
before the railroad commission next
week to present Savannah's protest.
The action of Atlanta Is viewed as an
attempted effort to cut In mi mu' --f Mi<-
foremost Industries of Savannah and
Brunswick and without Just reason.
The Atlanta freight bureau has <
tered before the state railroad commls
slon a protest against discrimination
In freight rates on raw fertilizer
terlals In favor of Nnshville
Birmingham from the ports of Savnn
nnh ami Brunswick. The commission
has called upon the railroads to answer
the charges at discrimination anti the
matter will be decided In a short time.
According to the schedules of freight
rates , published by the railroads the
rate on raw fertilizer material, Spanish
pyrites, brimstone and other minerals
used ns a basis for fertilizers, Is higher
from tho porta of Savannah and Bruns-
w I- k t-1 Atlanta than from im
ports to Birmingham, Ala,, and Nash
ville, Tenn., where Iurge fertiliser
plants are located.
The rato from Savannah and Bruns
wick to Nashville Is 22.35. The rate
fr.-m H.ivuunuh and Hiiiu- ■ u k to A' -
lanta, a great deal shorter distance. Is
12.57. In spite of the fact that the
greeter part of these shipments pass
directly through Atlanta, n lower rate
Is given to the points beyond, nearly
twice the distance.
Following the filing of a protest by
the freight bureau a abort time ego the
railroad commission called upon the of
ficials of the various railroads to make
answer, showing why such an apparent
discrimination exists. These answers
have been filed by several of the rail
roads between the two points end sev
eral answers are to bs yet received.
Th railroads, In their answers to the
commission, take ths ground that the
rates to Nashville and Birmingham are
fixed by other railroads leading Into
those cities and that the roads In Geor
gia have no control over the ratee.
• The fertilizer plant! In Atlanta who
are Interezted In the reduction of rates
are the Armour, Swift, Furman Farm
and Improvement Company, Old Do
minion, Marietta and ths Atlanta Oil
and Fertiliser Companies. In Birming
ham and Nashville are several large
competing companies, the largest of
which Is said to be controlled by the
same stockholders who control the
largo railroad systems and which would
thus be In a position to dictate rates.
