Freight Payer
Read This.
Freight payer, do you know that
“The Railroads of Georgia” admit
that “there are about nineteen
hundred and forty railroad stations
(cities and towns) in Georgia”
that are discriminated against, un¬
der the present freight rates? These
cities and towns have to pay a
higher freight rate than the remain¬
ing cities. How does that strike
you fanners, laborers, and merch¬
ants in the country towns of Geor¬
gia? Reader, t feel like that you
will agree with me when 1 say that
it is a grave injustice togi ve one city
preferential freight rates over tin
remaining cities and towns. Why :
Because it enables the one that is
granted the lowest freight rate to
undersell tlie cities and towns that
are not granted an equally low rate
In other words, the city with the
preferred frieght rate prospersat the
expense of the cities and towns
that are not granted the same rate.
“The Railroads of Georgia” con¬
tend that they have “suggested for
the consideration of the Kail
road Commission of Georgia, a
system of freight rates that is be¬
lieved will eliminate the discrimin¬
ations now existing between the
cities and towns of Georgia,” but
at the same time they are expecting
“increased revenue” in the ‘•re-ad¬
justment” of freight rates.
With “Nineteen hundred and
forty cities and towns” already
paying excessive rales, can any
one explain how a “re-adjustment”
would eliminate the excessive rates
that these cities and towns are pay¬
ing, and at the same time bring in
“an increased revenue” to the rail¬
roads ?
If the Georgia Railroad Com¬
mission should grant, the increase
in freight rates that the railroads
are now asking for, “The Shippers’
Association” says it will cost the

JOHN B. HUTCHESON, OF ASHBIIRN
FOR COURT OF APPEALS JUDGE
John R. Hutcheson, of Ashburn, Ga.,
asiks the votes, support and influence
of the readers of this paper for one of
the three judgeships of the state court
of appeals created by recent act of the
legislature.
Mr. Hutcheson is a native of Geor¬
gia. Born and reared at Jonesboro,
Clayton couiity, he lived and practiced
law there until the legislature created
Turner county, when he moved to Ash
burn, and has since made that city
his home.
Educated in the schools of his na¬
tive city and, later, at the University
of Georgia, he studied law and was
admitted to the bar at Jonesboro in
18S6, so that he has been in constant
and active practice of his profession
for the last thirty years.
As a young man, with ambition,
Mr. Hutcheson taught school in Clay¬
ton and Fayette counties for the pur¬
pose of paying his way through the
university. For a time he was editor
of the Jouosboro News, one of Geor¬
gia's best known weeklies, and had
a wide acquaintance among the news¬
paper men of the state.
A governor of Georgia, by special
appointment, and the two communi¬
ties in which he has lived, by election,
have placed him in positions of re¬
JUDGE COZART OF COLUMBUS
FOR THE COURT OF
Columbus, Ga.—Judge A. W. Cozart
of this eity, who is a candidate for
one of the new judgeships on the
state court of appeals, recently cre¬
ated by act of the legislature, has been
engaged in the practice of law both
in the state and federal courts for
more than twenty years, and is recog¬
nized by leading Judges and lawyers
all over Georgia as one of the state’s
ablest lawyers.
Judge Cozart’s candidacy has been
endorsed by every member of the
large and able bar of his home city,
and by many local bar associations of
other towns and cities in Georgia.
Possessing the judicial tempera¬
ment, he Is brilliant without being
erratic; keen, but not narrow; deep
without being obscure, and broad
minded without being shallow. He
knows and follows closely the law, but
at the same time he has a passion
for substantial justice.
Thousands have laughed at his epi¬
grams, which are as wise as they are
witty. From his occasional addresses
the following are quoted:
"He who is not willing to perspire
need not aspire."
"In a moral sense, to beat the devil
you must get ahead of the devil and
run like the devil.”
“I am glad that 1 was raised Jo
the country. All boys and pigs ought
to be raised In the country. ’
people of “Georgia approximately
$3,000,000 per year”.
My opponent is chairman of the
Georgia Railroad Commission, and
also chairman of the W. & A. Com¬
mission. Isn’t it true that Hon’s.
C. M. Candler and Asa. G Candler
are near relatives and that the lat¬
ter is a director in the Nashville,
Chettanooga & St Louis railroad,
which is said to be owned by the
Louisville & Nashville railroad a
corporation that is seeking to des¬
troy one of the State's chief assets,
the W. & A. railroad? View the
situation from every angle and see
just what conclusion you reach in
your own mind.
If I am elected Railroad Com¬
missioner, I will oppose the dis¬
criminating rates now existing
under tlie present rate system to
and from the cities and towns re¬
ferred to above.
1 do not contend that I am noted
ed to such an extent that my name
is a house-hold w ,rd in the homes
of Georgia, nor do J contend hut
that the faces of some other people
would appear more familiar to the
voters of the State ; but at the same
time I happen to know that the
face of my opponent, Hon. C.
Murphy Candler, is not so very
familiar to the people of Geor¬
gia, or at least not so, in this neck
of the woods. Would you know
him to meet him in the road?
llovv about relieving Mr. Can¬
dler,—lie’s labored witli us a good
while? x
Be on your look out,boys the city
dudes from Atlanta are traversing
the State to tell us country crack¬
ers who to support for Railroad
Commissioner. What would tbe\
think in Atlanta if we were to go
there to tell them how to vole!
I have told the people of Georgia
just what I would stand for, in the
event of my election as Railroad
Commissioner, and I trust the n -
suits at the hands of the fair and
impartial minded people of Geo¬
rgia.
Respectfully,
James H. Beetles.

sponsibility and honor. He served »■>
solicitor of the city court of Jones¬
boro, as mayor of that city, and, in the
legislature which has just adjourned,
as representative from Turner county,
his present home.
In legislative halls Mr. Hutcheson
was always a worker for the people.
He was vice chairman of the general
judiciary and Western and Atlantic
committees of the house, and a mem¬
ber of tile education committee. He
was specially appointed as a member
of the subcommittee by the prohibi¬
tion caucus of the general assembly to
redraft the present prohibition bills
and press their passage in the house.
As an advocate of effective prohibition,
ho lent his best efforts to the cause.
For many years Mr. Hutcheson has
served as, and is still, a member of
the board of trustees of (he Georgia
Normal and Industrial College tor
young women at Mllledgevtlle, attends
every commencement and devotes
much time and attention to the growth
and welfare of that well-known insti¬
tution.
Mr. Hutcheson has many friends
throughout the state, lawyers and
others, who have given him their in¬
dorsement along with the bar of his
home city and those of other commu¬
nities surrounding Ashburn.
"A home without a child is like a
world without a satellite, because it
has no bright little one to run Around
it.”
He has made many addresses be¬
fore the Georgia Bar Association and
the Medical Association, Dental As¬
sociation, Bankers' Association and
Manufacturers’ Association of this
state, and he is known throughout the
length and breadth of Georgia.
If you have any lawyer friends and
want to know about Judge Cozart,
just ask them.
As an evidence of what Judge Co
zart’s home folks think of him as a
lawyer and a man, we present this
statement made by one of his home
papers, the Columbus Enquirer-Sun,
about him:
"Judge Cozart has practiced law in
our midst for twenty-five years, and,
no matter where you turn, you find
every class respecting him and rely¬
ing on him. He is thoroughly equip¬
ped for the grave duties of a mem¬
ber of this high court. The state and
the bar of the state, in honoring him
as they will do In September, will be
conferring an honor that he merits
and for their consideration in reward¬
ing a worthy man and lawyer they will
receive from him good work, clear¬
headed work, lots of work, and that
high-toned service which has always
actuated the men whose lives in af¬
ter years have been referred to as
those of patriots."
