REVISED SCHEDULE
TO BE CONSIDERED
CIRCULAR LETTER SENT OUT BY
RAILROAD COMMISSION IN
REGARD TO RATES.
WILL MEET ON APRIL 14
Express Companies and the Shipping
Public Invited to Attend Meet-
ing in Atlanta.
—Atlanta.
Circular letters have been sent out
by the railroad commission to ex
press companies and the shipping pub
lic generally for a meeting to be held
in the offices of the commission on
April 14 to discuss the proposed new
schedule of express rates prepared by
Rate Expert Webster for Georgia, un
der direction of the commission.
Mr. Webster has been at work on
this revised schedule for two years,
devoting such spare time as he had to
it. He has made trips to various
states to study conditions and rates,
and has secured, read and digested a
mass of data on the subject.
The proposed revision contemplates
harmonization and adaptation of pres
ent classification and rates to traffic
conditions as they exist today, and
the simplification and making more
intelligible to carriers and shippers
the rules under which they are appli
cable. In the practical working out
of this plan there have been neces
sary rate increases ' and decreases,
which, taken altogether, fairly com
pensate each other.
Under the present plan of con
structing express rates in Georgia, the
railroad company is the transporta
tion unit, and provision is made that,
where express shipments handled bv
one express company are transport
ed over more than one railroad, ad
ditional charges shall be allowed. Un
der the proposed method, the express
company is the transportation unit,
and the rates are fixed for each ex
press company, regardless of the
number of roads necessary for ship
ments to be transported over in or
der to reach destination.
Three tariffs are provided. Tariff
A represents merchandise shipments;
tariff B represents food, drink, etc.:
tariff D the per ounce rate fixed for
small packages. Tariff B is 75 per
cent, of A and bears the same general
relationship to tariff A rates as pre
scribed by the interstate commerce
commission in its recent general ex
press order.
The rates proposed represent on
tariffs A and B, under the graduated
table, 1,162 advances, averaging 4.8
cents per package, while the reduc
tions number 3,330, averaging 11.9
cents per package.
With each circular is sent a print
ed pamphlet showing the proposed
new rules and schedule of rates, work
ed out.
Police Commission Deadlocked.
Atlanta’s apparently eternal war
fare in its police department, marked
now and then by quiescent periods,
has broken out anew.
Backers of the new Citizens’ League
formed here for the avowed purpose of
“fighting fanaticism” in city govern
ment, see either success or a severe
blow to the movements in the ultimate
outcome of the deadlock now on for
the chairmanship of the police com
mittee, inasmuch as the control and
regulation of the police department,
and incidentally policies of controlling
affairs generally, is at stake.
The two men whose candidacy for
the head of the board has caused the
deadlock represent the extremes of
what is known as and designated here
as liberal government. Robert T. Pace,
a well known railroad man, is termed
a “conservative liberal," while W. P.
Fain, a commission merchant, is sup
posed to represent the untrammeled
wide-open element.
No Date Named Yet.
There is considerable gossip around
the state capitol and the corridors of
the hotels when politicians meet, re
garding the time of meeting of the
state Democratic committee, of which
WftWam J .Harris, director of the
census, is chairman.
The general impression is that the
meeting will be called for approximate
ly April 1, as this date is in accord
with precedents for some years past.
The meeting has little to do this ^ear,
for the general primary laws of the
state control the details of the state
wide primary. Under the laws the pri
mary cannot be called earlier than Au
gust 8, and as the matter of registra
tion is provided for and all counties
must vote on the same day, this year’s
meeting of the state executive com
mittee is not of as much importance
as in the days when the committee
was supreme in the matter of reg
istration, dates, etc.
| DOINGS AROUND
STATE CAPITAL
Georgia to Furnish Peaches.
It is up to Georgia to furnish the
world with peaches this year, for ad
vices received from Texas and Arkan
sas are to the effect that the peach
crops of these two states have been
damaged 50 per cent, by the recent
cold snap.
Heretofore South Georgia peaches
have had to share honors with Texas
peaches in the northern markets, and
north Georgia peaches with those from
Arkansas, but this year it would seem
that the Georgia peach is to have it
all its own way.
Nor cafi the home canners of the
New England and North Atlantic
states depend upon home production
for supplying them peaches this year,
but must look to Georgia for this suc
culent fruit.
Governor Slaton Undecided.
There is strong pressure being
brought to bear to get Governor Sla
ton to run against Senator Holte
Smith. If he runs for either senator
ship it will open up a double shuffle
for the governorship, and there will
be a merry old time of it in Georgia
politics.
In the meantime Governor Slaton is
maintaining a sphinx-like attitude. He
states that other than his official
duties his mind is on spring garden
ing; that there is no use in hurrying
forward to a decision until after the
meeting of the state executive com
mittee. Until that time it is generally
believed he will say nothing.
Os course there will be the usual
amount of gossip going the rounds,
but no one will know- until after April
1 who will be in the race for senator
or governor.
Permanent Registration.
There seems to be more or less mis
information throughout the state re
garding the provisions of the perma
nent registration law passed at the
last session of the general assembly.
Many persons seem to think they do
not have to register this year; that
the passage of the law relieved them
of this necessity. This is not true.
Unless a person has registered tor tills
year he must do so. There are about
twenty days in which to register. After
this year all persons who were regis
tered for 1914 will be relieved of reg
istration, provided they are not dis
qualified by removal of residence or
failure to pay taxes.
Every Rail Is Inspected.
Details of the methods by which
every rail in the Southern railway’s
7,036 miles of track is annual sub
jected to the closest inspection are
given in the March issue of the South
ern News Bulletin in an article telling
of the steps which the Southern has
taken to prevent derailments resulting
from broken rails.
The system of inspection which was
adopted over two years ago is believ
ed the most rigid and effective possi
ble. The work is under the direction
of the district engineers and division
roadmasters, and is done by the track
supervisors and section foremen who
closely scrutinize each and every rail
while on their bands and knees and
with eyes close enough to the rail
to detect the slightest discoverable
tendency toward weakness or failure
and wherever such are found the rail
is immediately removed. Detailed re
ports are made on each rail left in
the track so that comparison can be
made at the next year’s inspection.
The management of the Southern
railway feels that this rigid inspec
tion of every rail over which its traf
fic moves embodies every possible step
toward the prevention of rail failures,
a feature of railway operation to which
the officials of leading American rail
ways have been giving the closet study
during the past few years.
Famous Minstrel Company.
No famous minstrel entertainment
ever presented in Atlanta is more
pleasantly remembered or received
more compliments than the splendid
show given by Neil O’Brien and his as
sociates on their first tour of the coun
try last season on which occasion Mr.
O’Brien and his associates on their
first tour of the country last season,
on which occasion Mr. O’Brien made
his first appearance tere at the head
of his own company, an organization
that has since been very successful
and is now recognized as quite the
leading attraction in its particular field
in this country. Mr. O’Brien, with a
brand new an dlarger organization,
and wit ha complete and handsome
ne wscenic investiture, comes to the
Atlanta, March 23 and 24.
For this year’s entertainment, Mr.
O’Brien has written two new sketches
called "Parcel Post’’ and "Taming the
Militant.” Mr. O'Brien uses “Parcel
Post” for his own vehicle and has
a character which is said to be ex
tremely quaint and humorous.
FALLING HAIR MEANS

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy

Danderine from any store, and after
the first application your hair will
take on that life, luster and luxuriance
which is so beautiful. It will become
wavy and fluffy and have the appear
ance of abundance; an incomparable
gloss and softness, but what will
please you most will be after just a
few weeks’ use, when you will actual

MEAT CLOGS KIDNEYS
THEN YOUR BACK HURTS
Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Kid
neys If Bladder Bothers You—•
Drink Lots of Water.
No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which excites the kidneys,
they become overworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then we get sick. Nearly all rheu
matism, headaches, liver trouble, ner
vousness. dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast and in a few days
your kidneys will act fine. This fa
mous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulate the
kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
in urine so it no longer causes irrita
tion, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferves
cent lithla-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.—Adv.
