THE TELEGRAPH RITES TOO HIGH Memphis is Favored Over Au gusta By Telegraph Com panies, Though This City is Nearer to New York. M. & M. to Take Matter Up. That Memphis, Tonn., 1.157 mllea from New York, can receive and send telegrams to the Metropolis much cheaper than Augusta, which city is 799 miles from New York, Is shown in a \ery Interesting report submitted to tin- I’nlted States senate by Postmas ter General Burleson entitled "Govern ment Ownership of Fleet rival Means of Communication." Memphis pays 50 cents for a ten-word message and three cents for each additional word, while Augusta pays 60 cents for a ten-word message and four cents for each ad ditional word. Charleston Is also very grossly discriminated against, so it is alleged, for that city Is even closer to New York than Augusta and yet pays Just as high a rate. Savannah, which is 845 miles from New York, enjoys the same rate as Augusta. The Merchants ami Manufacturers Association will take the matter up and find the reason why this city Is discriminated against In favor of Mem phis. It Is argued that there can be no good reason why Memphis, nearly 400 miles further away from New York than Augusta, should have a cheaper rate to that city than Augusta, and It is thus, shown that Memphis, as a cot ton market, Is favorell over this city.
