EDITOR MERCER EXPLAINS.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
I notice In The Georgian of the 24th
that In noting Mr. Brown'* withdrawal
from .the railroad commlnaloner'a rare
you use this language:
"If the line* a* to railroad man or one
possessing practical railroad experi
ence are drawn In selecting Mr,
Brown’* successor," that the writer
would be eliminated from the rare.
I. have had eight year* of artuat
work and experience as a tallroad mart,
not as a boy, but since I have been j,
man. An experience that enabled tne (
to become familiar with freight rates, |
passenger rates, tariffs nnd other de,' j
tailed work that would be of advantage
to a man on the commission, l t,*i|e*a j
I have had a* much experience as any j
mar. that ha* served on the Georgia'
commission.
I *hope you will give thl* promlftane*
In your excellent paper. The »tjgg*a* !
tlon that I have not necessary tsUtos/l ]
experience came from Brown in a Vwj/p- I
tol interview some days ago j
