THE BIG ROADS AND THE LITTLE OWES

Gov. Hogg said at Wills Point and
repeated it at various other places,
that the reduction in freight rates
had increased traffic on all the Texas
roads, until the railroads were making
more money with the commission than
without it. The first authentic denial
of this came from Mr.. L. j Polk of
the Arkansas Pass when he went be-
fore the commission few days ago.
Mr.. Polk declared that the reduction
of freight rates did not increase the
traffic and that if his road did not get
a better rate than the commission had
given it they would be ruined. The
San Antonio and Arkansas Pass is
Texas road. 1t has no outlet by
which to profit by interstate rates, so
is obliged to appeal to the commission
or be ruined. This is the kind of
road Gov. Hogg wants to loan the
school money to. 1t is local road
and local roads hereafter to be built
are the kind of roads Gov. Hogg de-
sired to encourage with the children s
money. 1t has been proven in "hun.
dred ways that short or local lines do
not pay anything. The advantage
held by all the trunk line roads In get
ting the benefit of the interstate COM
mission rates aids them in carrying out
the decisions of the commission, hence
their submission to the commission
rulings without protest. These
trunk lines know very we'll that if the
present rates are kept up the short
lines will have to merge int) the
trunk likes in order to get an outlet
to the interstate freight. This fact
may explain why the real magnates
are for Hogg. Gould and Hunting
ton can afford to lose money on their
lines several years in order to obtain
control Of the short lines in Texas.
Now the fact is undeniable that Gov
ernor Hogg either iguorantly OR cor
ruptly aided Mr.. Gould in obtaining
possession of the International and
Great Northern, and If he would ,gnor-
antIy or by corrupt methods help
Gould steal road he
would also help Huntington
steal road. There is no question
about the ruinous policy adopted by
the commission wrecking the small
roads aud the wreck will be swift and
sure if Hogg is reelected. He has
determined to do what he eau to an.

The first afternoon paper IN
Georgia to score a success was the
Augusta News. General William
H. Moore, in whom Atlanta still
feels warm interest, left this city
when the Sun, of which he was
city editor, suspended, and entered
the field of Augusta journalism.
He. did excellent work on the
old Atlanta Herald and the
Constitutionalist for several years,
and in 1877 founded the News. 1t
was considered a rash experiment
by some Of Mr.. Moore's best
friends, but the public took kindly
to the News from the start, and it
was soon regarded as ono, of Au-
gusta's most valuable institutions.
It has now reached its fifteenth
year, and is stronger and more
popular than ever. The News
has succeeded because it has been
newsy, clean and good natured.
1t has been a power for good in
Augusta, and has aided materially
in the building up of the city's
interests
We donos wonder that the peo-
pic of Augusta like the News and
patroni2e it literally. "Bill"
Moore, as everybody calls him,
and 'a'Judge" Gibson have put in
years offaithful work on the paper,
hrougllywhichthcir humor CLEANS
every. day.
They have'done we'll, and it gives
the Journal pleasure 10 recognize
their merits and to observe the
continued prosperity Of its friend,
theNewf. 1T deserves all thc,good
fortune it has won, and we trust'it
may continue to- fourish.-Atianta

to kill. lice and mites is. all non
sense.
{. Arrange the sides and back SO
there will be no draughts. I pre-
fer a wire or laticed front in our
climate. Pole roosts, placed all
on a level are preferred, and for
fowls the size of Plymouth Rocks
or larger breeds, the roosts should
not be over eighteen inches from
the ground; for Games, Ham
burgs, Leghorns and fowls of that
weight the roost may be higher.
There wasnever a greater nuisance
in a poultry, house than the old
time step-ladder ..,roosts, on one
roost higher than another, for the
fowls all try to get on the highest
pole, which. causes crowding, and
occasionally some of the fowls are
knocked off. The nests made
about eighteen inches square, may
be arranged in the house to suit
the convenience of the: attendant
but they should not be nailed OF
fastened to the sides of the house
as they must be taken out and
cleared, whitewashed and new
straw put in occasionally.
If. youwish to keep more thar

yards to keep them separated, j:
