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. Fltxserald. Ga. Aug. 25. By Private Leased Wire.
