B. the only innkeeper. Bermuda City Koom tbo Walker Count y Messenger. Watch the smoke of Tatum of Dade, tie has introduced a bill to prohibit the ehippment of dressed beef Into the State The business is in the hands of monopolists, and it has the effect not only of ruining the cattle industry, one of the most im portant of our State, but enabled the Westerman to kill and ship to our marekts diseased beeves that have been condemned in their home mark ets. from the Valdosta Times. A member of the Georgia legisla tor has introduced a bill to prohibit dresed beef from being shipped into the State. iWe suppose this is a drive at Ar mour’s beef, and on the line of "pro tecting home industries” which lat ter doctrine has not found favor in the South and never ought to. It is something to put a prohibitive pro tective tariff an goods from foreign countries and it is something a great deal more extreme although on the same line, to prohibit one state from shipping goods into another. Should this wild scheme become 3xed on our statue books, a farmer over in Hamilton or Madison connty Florda, could hot sell $$ quarter of a beef to his neighbor just across the Jipe in Lowndes. Mr. Tatum'** hill will be knocked out in the first round, as it should be. From the Atlau Constitution. Editors Constitution— Without question the wisdom of the hill re cently introduced into the legislator to prohibit thoJUnportation of beef from other states into Georgia., I beg to say that before the bill is put to its final passage its scope ought to be enlarged sc as to exiend its ben.
