on times when Even's scarlet flag
Floats from the crest of distant woods,
AND over moOrland, waste and crag
weary, voiceless sorrow broods
Around me hover to and fro
lhe ghosts of songs heard long ago.
And often midst the rush of wheels,
or passing and repassing feet,
When half headlong city reels
triumphant down the noontde street,
Above the tumult o f the throngs
hear again the same old songs.
Rest and Cnrest-'ts strange that yc
Who lie apart as pole from pole,
Should sway with one strong sovereignty
The secret issues of the soul
Strange that ye both should hold the KEYS
OF prisoned tender memories.
1t may be when the landscapes rim
Is red and slumbrous round the West,
The spirit, too, grows still and dim,
And turns in half'unconscious quest
10 those forgotten lulabies
That whilom closed the infants eyes
And maybe, when the city mart
Roars with its fullest, loudest tide,
The spirit loses helm and chart,
And on an instant, terrified,
has sped across the space of years
10 notes that banished ..1hood's fears
We know uot-but It's sweet to know
Dead hours still haunt the living ,lay.
And sweet to hope thai, when the slow
Sure message beckons us away,
The past may send some tuneful breath
10 echo round the bed of death.

There seems io he a growing demand in GeOT-
gia for such amendment Of the railroad law of
that State as will modify the pow -rs of the Rail-
road Commission and give the railroads better
chance to prosper than they now have. The
Georgia Commission has the right to make and
enforce rates that determine absolutely the earn
ings of the railroads. From its decisions there
is no appeal, and the vast interests OF the great
lines of transportation and travel are At the
mercy of three men. The Commission was es
tablished 10 protect the people and certain COM
munites from alleged unjust determinations Of
the railroad corporations But the law went too
TAR and the powers of the commission are too ar
bitrary. The Macon Telegraph ami Messenger
declares that the law under which the Railroad
Commission exists not only permits but " under
its present execution enf0rces upon the owners
of our railroad property the wrong and injustice
of helpessness in the first place ami of con1sca-
ton in the second 1t involves control without
responsibility, power without accountability"
Under these circumsances'i il is hardly surprising
that there has been marked inactivity
IN railroad construction in the State. 1t
is claimed that railroad building in Geor-
gia, as an enterprise and investment, ceased
when the Commission was established
Short lines or feeders have been built by sub
scripiions obtained from persons directly inter
ested, and who are willing 10 sacrifice their
investments for the outlet obtained; speculative
lines have in one or two instances been built and
placed in operation, and the railroads themselves
have found it necessary to build connecting links
in self-delense But in all these enterprises out
side capitalists have kept aloof.
1t is urged by the leading newspapers in
Georgia that there will be no railway improve
ment in that State while the Commission exists
in its present form: that outside capitalists will
moi risk their money in enterprises, the practical
control of which is entrusted by law to three
men who may place nsurmountable obstacles
in the way of their profitable operation at any
time and that there must be radical nodifca-
ton of the powers of the Commission before the
railroad system of the State can be built up
There seems to be little doubt that strong effort
will be made at the next session OF the Georgia
Legislature to make such changes in the railroad
| law AS will remove its Objectionable features.

Mr. G. G. Barcalow is busy with his fruit
evaporator, and now dries ten to twelve bushels
of black berries per day. As soon MS it became
known that he would pay cash for berries the
supply became so great that, Notwithstanding
the large capacity of his machine, Mr. b. could
not work up all that were offered, and was
Obliged to make some OF them into wine. He
has now arranged with his pickers so that
the berries will arrive at stated times,
thus giving time for drying one lot
before another comes in Late into the
night the fires are kept up, and ere the crop Is
exhausted he will have several hundred pounds
Of dried berries ready for market. A number Of
persons have made application to have fruit
dried and IL is expected that as soon as the fig
season commences the machine will be kept hot

crop and apples. and later Mr.. B will dry a
