a GOOD RAILROAD COMMISSION.

We often hear opponents of a
railroad commission say it would
do Arkansas no good, that local
freight rates in the state could not
be adjusted to the long hauls from
other states, over which the COM
mission would have no control, etc.
We know of our own personal
knowledge that Georgia's railroad
commission has greatly reduced
rates, and is a good law. Arkansas
needs just such a law. To show
how it handles railroads, home rates
as to foreign, or cut interstate
rates, We reproduce the following
late press dispatch:
Atlanta, Ga, July 28.-The Geor-
gia railroad commission, at special
meeting held today to consider the
threatened rate war between the
Seaboard Air line and the associat-
ed line, ordered general reduction
in local rates to conform to the 80
per cent cut on freight from east
ern points to Atlanta recently de-
clared by the Southern States
Freight association. The commls-
sions rates are to take effect when
the associations rates become Op-
-eratiYe.

They doubtless heard that the
West side council did the same
thing and they thought they could
come ID under the same ruling.
In connection with the above we
learn that the Texas police, since
the South side of the railroad was
excluded from the cattle ordinance,
have not enforced the ordinance
elsewhere IN the city, and it is al
most a dead letter in law. There
should be no favoritism in this dem
ocratic country of ours. If it works
a hardship on those College Hill
people, or those Texas citizens on
the south side of the railroad, it
works one on people living in other
parts of the city, and we say repeal
the ordinance or else enforce it all
over tue city.

Rev. Forbes condition from his

home until he has fully recovered.
We learn he will be moved from the
hotel this afternoon, to some one of
the many houses placed at his dis
posal the place not yet selected,

wears a full beard which is soft and
wavy, and his voice is soft; eyes
mild blue. He informed US that he
was just 20 years of age yesterday,
and has never shaven; at 13 he was
called of God, and has since Travelled

free of charge. He accepts small
donation when properly offered.
Large numbers are visiting him and
he "blesses" many handkerchiefs,
besides giving free of charge treat
ment, to those who want it. He is
not a member of any church, but
claims to have direct communica-
tion with God; does not guarantee
to heal diseases, but if applicant for
treatment exercises faith, a cure
will follow.
His manager, Mr. G. R. Merriman,
sells his picture at 25c, to those who
may want it.
