THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
SATURDAY, AUOt'HT -'5. lWm.
New Richmond in Field for
Court of Ap
peals.
Hon. T. K. Massengnle. of Warren
county, wrote a friend at tbe state
capitol Saturday that he was In the
race for railroad commissioner and was
sure to win. Mr. Manseneale was one
of the most earnest supporters of Hon.
Hoke Smith In the recent contest. Hon.
Jesse Mercer, of Fitzgerald, is also
spoken of In this connection. Hon.
Pope Drown, It I* said, does not again
lufplro to the position.
For api»el!ate court Judgeships, the
names of Judge James K. Hlnea of
Fulton; Hon. Emerson George, of Mor
gan; Hon. W. A. t’ovlngton. of Col
quitt, and Hon. Hooper Alexander, of
DeKalb, are being variously discussed.
These were all ardent supporters of
the ~overnei-to-be. and many think the
convention will make its selections of
three from this list. The convention
will alsj very likely nominate a can
didate for railroad commissioner.
If these contests go into the con
vention, which Is very nrobable, there
will he more Interest In the conten
tion than was at first thought after
the landslide occurred.
The state chairmanship Is also an
other interesting proposition for the
convention to fettle. It was hinted at
the capitol today that a contest from
McDuffie wu8 on the tapis.
AGENTS OF STANDARD OIL
GIVEN PASSES BY NE WLA W
By Private Letted Wire.
Chicago, Aug. 25.—-Despite the
watchfulness of the administration*, a
"Joker" appears to have crept Into
the new Interstate commerce law In the
shape of a provision that makes It
legal . for any railroad to give free
transportation to the offjeer, agents and
employees of the Standard Oil Compa
ny, and to the members of their fam
ilies.
The new law makes any person, per
sons or corporation engaged In the
transportation of oil by pipe lines, a
common carrier, and In another section
allows a common, carrier to give free
transportation to the officers, agents
or employees of another common car
rler, or to their families.
The Standard Oil Company owns and
operates pipe lines, and under the Di
visions of the new law Is a common
carrier. By being classed as a com
mon carrier, It Is declared, the officers,
agents and employees of the company,
together with their families, are enti
tied to free transportation from an
other common carrier. Just as one rail
road is entitled to exchange passes with
another railroad.
