THE CENTAUR COMPANY, NEW VORK CITY.
Official Organ of Dade County.
TRENTON, GA„ FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1908.
NEW RAILROAD RULES
Made by Commission are Now
in Effect.
TIME FORCHECkING BAGGAGE
Twenty Four Hours Must be Allowed*
No Loaded Shotguns to be Car
ried on Trains.
Atlanta, Ga. —The railroads in
Georgia must allow twenty-four hours
for checking baggage. This ruling ot
the railroad commission went into ef
fect December 3rd. Heretofore bag
gage left for more than twelve hours
has been subject to a demurrage
charge of 25 cents a day. The rail
road commission took up this matter
several weeks ago, and its investiga
tions led to an amendment to passen
ger rule number 5 relating to the
checking and handling of baggage.
The public must, therefore, be given
twenty-four hours before demurrage
charges can be assessed.
Anew rule has been adopted by
the railroad commission which re
quires all railroad companies to stop
their passenger trains at stations with
a view to easy egress and ingress for
passengers. In most instances trains
are stopped in a way to expedite the
handling of baggage. The commis
sion has decided that the comfort of
passengers must be the first consider
ation.
No passenger will in future be al
lowed to carry a loaded shotgun into
a railway coach. Any person entering
a coach with a gun, must breech it
within view of the conductor and show
LAST TBIP OF IMTION.
The Pure Food Law Now in Effect for
Fifteen Months.
Atlanta, Ga. —Georgia’s pure food
and pure drug inspectors are out on
their final tour of the state for the
year which comes to a close on De
cember 31. They are endeavoring, if
possible, to have the new year begin
with only pure foods and feedstuffs
and pure drugs on sale in Georgia.
The pure food law has been in effect
now fifteen months and has accom
plished wonderful results. The pure
drug law has been in effect only since
summer of this year, but during that
time much good has been accom
plished.
Pure Food Inspector P. A. Methvin
is devoting his time now to the in
spection of western feedstuffs, which
are being shipped into this state. Un-,
der a report of tho state chemist re
cently issued, it shows that a major
ity of these feedstuffs do not measure
up to the standards required by tho
Georgia law and as fast as foundJTey
are seized and shipped out m the
state.
More and more the Georgia mer
chants and planters are coming to re
alize that the southern product, cotton
seed meal, when mixed with cotton
seed hulls, is not only cheaper but a
better cattle feed than anything ship
ped from the west. This is proven
by statistics gathered by the agricul
tural department in Atlanta, which
shows a tremendous increase in the
use of this feed in Georgia, especially
since the pure food law went into ef
fect.
SEEK TO EXTEND NOTES.
Plans Advanced to Aid the Holding of
Cotton.
Statesboro, Ga. —That the Bulloch
countv branch of the Farmers’ Union
is making a determined effort to as
sist the farmers of this county cannot
be disputed. Through a committee of
the branch a meeting has been called
for December 12 at the court house,
whiqh, if the object of the meeting is
carried, will mean much to the farm
ers of this ‘county.
The object of the meeting is to con
sider the question of extending the ma
turity of all notes and other obliga
tions, and every man who has given a
note or is now holding one, is request
ed to be at the meeting. The commit
tee thinks that toy later maturity cot
ton will be kept from being forced
upon the market too early, and thus
unduly depressing the price.
$15,000,000 MORTGAGE DEED.
Will Take Douglas Officials a Week
to Transcribe.
Douglasville, Ga. A $15,000,000
mortgage deed is enough to create at
tention in large money centers, but
such a deed was filed in Douglas coun
ty superior court here last week.
The deed was made in favor of the
Central Trust Company of New York
fcy the Virginia Carolina Chemical
Company for the purpose of refunding
its outstanding indebtedness. A. copy
of the mortgage is filed In every coun
ty where there is a branch of the Vir
ginia-Caroiina Chemical Company.
FOREST FIReTiaTFLOYD.
Many Acres of Timber Have Been
Destroyed.
Rome, Ga.—Forest fires in several
districts of Floyd county have wrought
great damage and destroyed thousands
of dollars’ worth of property in the
past few days. Acres of timber were
consumed by the fires on Horseleg
Mountain and the fires have not yet
been subdued. Miles of fence have
been destroyed by the fires, and the
loss will fall heavily on the farmers.
It is not known how the fires have
ben started, but it is thought by many
that the woods were set on fire pur
posely, or by persons out hunting care
lessly dropping matches in the dry
leaves. The city bas been filled with
smoke from the fires during the
mornings recently.
THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
Qute a flurry of excitement was cre
ater in Dalton when a plow which was
being used in the excavation work on
the proposed government building bit
into soft dirt and unearthed several
bones, supposed to be those of a hu
man being. The dirt was quickly clear
ed away and a United States army
belt buckle was found surrounded by
a large pile of other bones. This
seemed proof conclusive that the
bones were those of a union soldier
killed during the civil war and buried
here. The grave was fully five feet
below the surface, and quantities of
lime surrounded the bones. Several
doctors were attracted to the scene
and, on examining the bones, com
pletely wrecked the various theories
formed by the onlookers, for they
gave out the information that the
bones were those of a cow.
Governor Smith has offered a re
ward of S2OO for the apprehension and
conviction of any of the persons who
recently wrote threatening letters to
members of the Mormon congregation
at Montreal, in DeKalb county, after
dynamiting the church at that place.
The reward was offered as the result
6t a call upon the governor from
Fielding Payton, Melvin Payton and
Jim Bankston, who told of receiving
numerous threatening letters.
Governor Smith has sent to the
prison commission correspondence
bearing upon the misconduct of Su
perintendent A. B. Coombs, of the
state prison farm at Milledgeville.
The latter was arrested and convict
ed for being drunk and disorderly on
October 31 at the Macon fair grounds.
The correspondence submitted con
sists of a letter from Governor
Smith to Mayor A. L. Miller of Macon
asking about the reported ificident;
the reply of Mayor Miller and a state
ment of the facts in the case from G.
S. Westcott, chief of police of Macon,
to which is attached a copy of the po
lice record. Chief Westbrook states
that Superintendent Coombs pleaded
guilty, stating that he had drank near
beer and some whiskey, and his con
dition was due to this fact. He was
fined sls. The only member of the
prison commission in Atlanta is Gen
eral Clement A. Evans. When the
commission meets the matter will be
brought to its attention by the govern-*
or and will be investigated.
In regard to recent discussions in
various papers anent the state’s finan
cial condition, present and prospec
tive, a statement was. given out at the
office of Captain R. E, Park, state
teraswer, in which he says: “For
.nine years he has been watching care
fully the income and the outgo of the
treasury in Georgia, and at this time
there is only $66,216.34, $50,000.00 of
which is borrowed money, leaving
really in the treasury, as the result
of taxes and other sources of income,
only $16,216.34, with several warrants
due before the close of the month. He
says that in December the largest
part of the income of the state should
come into the treasury, and that he
can readily meet the $232,000.00 due
to the pensioners on fourth quarter
before the holidays, that he has paid
only thirty-five per cent due to thw
teachers of the state for their year’s
hard work, and that they will be due
from the incoming taxes 65 per cent,
or $1,330,000.00, and the pensioners
will be due in round numbers, in one
payment, instead of in four payments,
as in last year, about $900,000.00.
Inman & Company of Augusta, cot
ton factors, were awarded in Musco
gee superior court at Columbus a ver
dict in the sum of $64,568.71 against
the Central of Georgia railway, on a
suit for alleged damages to cotton
burned in the Columbus yards of the
defendant company. Suit was brought
for $160,000. The case continued for
a week and a brilliant array of coun
sel put a hard legal battle. It was al
leged in the complaint that the cot
ton was destroyed while in the hands
of the carrier.
Passenger trains in this state must
be brought to a stop as near as pos
sible to waiting rooms or stations as
will be most convenient for passen
gers, according to a ruling of the rail
read commission. The commission’s
order follows: “All trains
operated in this state all sta
tions where stop, either
upon schedule, be
brought to a standstill with such re
lation to the waiting room of the sta
tion building, or other passenger fa
cilities at said station, as will render
egress from and ingress to said trains
most practicable and convenient for
the passengers, without reference to
the convenient, handling of baggage
or other freight.”
The Georgia p'ruit exchange, an or
ganization of the peach growers of
Georgia, which is now being perfect
ed, has secured pledges covering two
thousand five hundred cars, or approx
imaately half of the entire state’s
yield of peaches, which will be shipp
ed through the exchange on the co
operative plan. Subscriptions to stock
in the exchange now exceeds thirty
thousand dollars. The plan of the ex
change, as outlined in its charter, is
to prevent glutting the markets,
which resulted last season in poor
prices for the growers. The exchange
proposes to act as the growers’
agent, and to have such general su
pervision of shipments as to direct
them to the best advantage. The ex
change will not be run for financial
profit, but will be a co-operative or
ganization, solely for the benefit of
the growers.
Beer containing as much as 4 per
cent cf alcohol, is intoxicating, under
the meaning of the state prohibition
law. says the state court of appeals
in a decision handed down at Atlanta,
in the of Cornelius O’Connell, ap
pealed Macon.
