RATES ON CANNED GOODS.

The Railroads Grant the Canneries
Reduction.
Atlanta, Ca. April 3O.-The railroads
and the fruit men have come TO an ami
cable agreement for rates on canned goods.
which has been before the railroad com
mission for some time and was up before
that body again to-day. The fruit Gamers
have been trying for a year TO get new
schedule of rates and some Of the most inn
pOrtant of them announced to the railroad
commission some time ago that unless the
reduction was made in time to be available
during the present season, they would 80
out of the business. which would mean
the loss Of thousands Of bushels of fruit
and considerable revenue to the fruit
growing sections.
At the last meeting of the railroad com
mission, the fruit Gamers closed their
case, and to-day the railroads closed
theirs, the commission hearing from Maj.
Shellman, traffic manager of the Central,
who has been representing the railroad
interests in the case Mai. Shellman has
recently been in the fruit section in con-
ference with the leading Gamers who
have been urging the new scale of rates,
and the result of this investigation and
consultation is that the Gamers viii get

This will be good news to the fruit and

fore while they have had fair rates to for
eign points they have been practically cut
out of the home market on account of
high local rates on small shipments,

state is a most important one already and
is rapidly growing, and without the CO.

Who Are the Anarchists?

Lynn, Mass, dispatch of Sept ~:
The largest congregation ever seen
at a Sunday service in any place of
worship in this city assembled in
the Labor church. today to hear the
Rev. Herbert N. Casson, preach on
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1896-10-10
the subject, "Who is the Anarchist,

The auditorium was crowded with
people of all shades of political
opinions, including leading repub
licans, democrats and populists,
several city officials, local labor
leaders and a delegation from the
Bryan-Sewall-W Williams club of
Boston. The preachers fame as a
pulpit orator is not confined to New
England alone. He spoke for two
hours and reused his hearers to
high pitch of enthusiasm when he
said that "Nebraska never had a
better loved son than Bryan"
The Rev. Mr.. Casson said that as
his service was a political one, he
would omit the reading of the
Scripture lesson, and by way of
preface read portions of several ed
itorial articles bearing on his sub
ject from the New York Journal,
which paper, he said, was 1.-The
most progressive organ Of public
opinion published in the Eastern
states today. Mr.. Casson said in
part:
The laws Of prosperity are to be
discovered. not constructed. The
real legislator for whom this ma
ton waits is he who shall find and
dare to proclaim the perfect social
order foreordained by justice from
the beginning of the world. The
real anarchists is he who seeks to
violate the laws of nature for the
exclusive benefit of small fraction
of the community.
During the present campaign the
epithet has been hurled
at the heads of some of the noblest
and most capable men that this
generation has produced. The
fierce searchlight of publicity has
blazed upon these men for years,
and not single corrupt official act
has ever been discovered.
Bryan is caricatured, just as Lin
coin was, as highwayman, as a
pirate, even as the devil, and in
many similar ways. Whether
Bryan's political views are entirely
correct or not, who can deny that he
is citizen of whom any nation in
the world might boast?
Whether we consider the sustain
ed ability of his addresses, his
gentlemanly endurance of SANDER

sullied public career, or the mag
netism of his unaffected cordially

to the sweat-stained masses that
greet him at every depot, we can
not avoid admiring him as a sturdy
specimen Of our American man.
hood.
Compare him with the gagged
individual who trembles in his
mortgaged house lest Hanna may
foreclose Compare him with that
unfortunate Napoleon who has al
ready met his Wellington and sur
rendered his convictions, and it is
plain to see which best represents
the principles of the Declaration of
independence.
Bryan is the spokesman of the
half-awakened producers, who form
nine~tenths of the population. He
and his associates have revived the
apostolic power of "casting out
devils" in the democratic party and
of raising the dead to life among
the republican rank and file.
They have given us at least real
issue instead of sham one, and
though their remedy may seem in
adequate to progressive thinkers,
it ia in the right direction and in
accordance with the peoples will.
During the last few years we have
been rapidly developing a slave ele-
ment in our populations proper
tyless class, entirely dependent up
on the sale of their labor. No longer
does Jack hobnob with his master.
The rich and poor do not live in the
same quarter of the city. A second
secession has split our society into
two hostile elements, and it is
childish to howl "anarchist" at the
patriot who proclains the unwel-
come fact and seeks to weld the ma
ton into unity again by repeating
the laws that caused it to split
asunder.
America is the workingman's
"Paradise Lost" and it can never
be regained by passive obedience
to the serpent.

What do you think vote is for?
Something to sell for dollar or more?
Something to cast as you're told to do?
Something to give to the wealthy few,
Who are only as one to ten of you?
Don't rail at the rich, let your Whining cease,
The crimes Of our times lie at Labor's door;
For the rich have only vote apiece,
Till the poor man sells them more.
Who sells his vote is both fool and knave;
More, he is coward and thief and slave,

Fool, since he sells his right to think

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The most exciting times we have
witnessed since school opened was
that brought on by the "SpelIing
Match" Friday. Miss Lines room
had challenged Prof. Thames for q
spelling match and the latter &C.
cepted with some reluctance, but
finally mustered enough courage
to meet the little Davids in open
battle. When they took the floor,
standing face 10 face, each side
seemed as though they stood be-
fore the mouths of cannon. When
the tOcsin of war was sounded each
side sprang to its respective arms.
The battle ragged for over an hour,
during which time the young Da.
vids displayed heroism which would
have been an example for the
Spartans. 1t seemed at first that
the victory was theirs as the bull
lets off their rash tongues moved
the Thames line in front. But
later the fortune Of war changed,
and they were compelled to sur
render to a superior foe; the ratio
of those left unhurt was I6 to 1.
This spelling match Is to be repeats
ed sometime in the future.
We noticed among visitors Erie
day, Misses Diamond Thornhill,
Nelia Reeves, Letha Ford, of town,
and Miss Lula King, of Purvis.
