EDITOR MERCER EXPLAINS.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
I notice In The Georgian of the 24th
that In noting Mr. Brown’s withdrawal
from the railroad commissioner'! race
you use this language;
“If the lines as to railroad man or one
possessing practical railroad expert,
ence are drawn In selecting Mr.
Brown's successor," that the writer
would be eliminated from the race.
I have had eight year* of actual
work and experience as a railroad man.
not as a boy, but since I have been a
man. An experience that enabled me
to become familiar with freight rates,
passenger rates, tariff* and other de
tailed work that would be of advantage
to a man on the commission. I believe
I have had ad much experience a* any
mar. that haa served on the Georgia
commission.
I hope you all! give thl* prominence
In your excellent paper. The sugges
tion that 1 have not necessary railroad
experience came from Brown In a capl-
tol Interview some days ago.
Sincerely.
_ J. E. MERCER.
