Ellis Arnall's fight for frieght rate equalization for Georgia and the South, which has attracted nation-wide at¬ tention, received a big boost in Chicago last week when Southern and Western memb¬ ers of the Democratic National Convention's Platform Commit¬ tee succeeded in putting over a plank calling for the very thing Georgia's young gover¬ nor has been advocating for so long. filed Gov. Amall an action recently in the U. S. Supreme Court seeking to compel the railroads to readjust freight schedules so that rates would not be at least twenty-five per cent higher in the Southern ter¬ ritory than they are in the East¬ ern or official territory. He tried to get Western governors to join in the fight, but met with little success until last week. " T want to express my grati- tuie to Speaker Roy V. Harris, o the Georgia House of Repre¬ sentatives, for his strong fight for the freight rate plank in the platform,'' Gov. Amall said. "I am told that Gov. Prentice Cooper, of Tennessee, /and Speaker Harris led the light in the committee for the freight rote plank, over considerable opposition from the East and North. The adoption of this plank by the convention will assure us success in the fight wo have been making for the South for many years. I regard it as one of the most beneficial things that rppld possibly hap¬ pen to the Southern and West¬ ern states." The Atlanta Jouranl in dis¬ cussing that phase of the Dem¬ ocratic Party's platform had this to say editorially: "Georgia won an importantant victory in obtaining the insertion of a plank declaring for no-discrimi¬ natory transportation charges and the early correction of in¬ equalities in such charges. Gov. Dewey has been the leading opponent of the correction of frieght- rate discriminations and will find the Democratic state¬ ment embarassing to him in the South and West."

By Buck Pace "I guess all you folks saw the write up in this paper a few weeks ago about my appoint¬ ment as Forest Fire Rang¬ er. Well, that being the case, I guess I ought to let you know what is being done in the way of fire pro¬ tection for this county. "Mr. G. W. Hale, who runs a store on Look¬ out Mountain, Pace opposite Wild¬ wood has been made a "lpok- out," to help find and locate wood fires. For the past few days I have been busy getting a right-of-way so we could put up a telephone line from his store to my office. Since he is located on the edge of the mountain he will be abje to see over a large area of Dade County and if any fires are dis¬ covered, he will be able to call me. Other points are also be¬ ing located and will be con¬ nected to my office by phone. ' Now I want all of you folks to help me make this program a success by being careful wiih fire. We just got to protect our young timber from fire if we expect the younger genera¬ tions of children to prosper and do well. The next time you pass Mr. D. T. Brown's place, locat¬ ed west of New England, you slow up and take a look at what fire did to a portion of his woods last week, and you will see what I am talking about. "Well, I got to go now, but I want all you folks to watch this paper next week 'cause I have got an important an¬ nouncement to make which I know all of you will be glad to hear." Your Ranger.

Services will be held each of the following night at 8 o'clock: Thursday night, Friday night and Satur¬ day night. The final service will be on Sunday afternoon. The revival preacher is the Rev. D. Sullins Dosser, pastor of the Asbury Methodist church of Chattanooga. Bro. Dosser is known throughout southern Methodism as one of its great¬ est evangelists. For a number of years he was the official evangelist of the Holston Con¬ ference, and he has held meet¬ ings in many of the Chattanoo- aa churches, including the St. Elmo, St. Andrews, Brainerd and Asbury Methodist churches.
