RATES ON FERTILIZERS.
A New Proposition Submitted by the
Manufacturers.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 9.-The fight brought
up by Capt. Purse from Savannah over
fertilizer rates may come to head to-
morrow. A. D. Dick John M. Green, W.
l.. Peel E. S. Riley and G. w. McCarty, a
committee representing the fertilizer fac
tories of Atlanta, Savannah and Augusta,
to-day submitted a proposition to the state
railroad commission that the minimum
weight of carloads of fertilizers be in
creased to 10000 pounds, and that a hori-
zontal cut of 25 per cent. be made in Geor-
gia rates to offset the decentralization of
rates caused by the action of the South
Carolina and Georgia railway.
Chairman Trammell has wired the rail-
roads the substance of the proposition and
that it will be considered by the commits
sion at meeting to be held tomorrow
One of the grounds on which the railroads
defended the present rates was that they
could only haul ten tons or 10000 pounds of
fertilizers in cars which shave a capacity
for $4,000 pounds.

For gentlemen, including business
and professional men, who wish to ride
erect we would specially recommend
the Crown Steel Hunter 1t is strong
graceful and has no superior

long rides on the road we recommend
the 19-lb Heating, because it is light
and runs like a>charm. For ladies it
is par excellence.
For fast riders, scOrchers and rae
ing men the Barnes is a superb mount,
and even for any class of rider it is a
wonderful wheel. 1t has the honor Of
carrying the heaviest rider in Savannah

For every class of rider we recon-
mend the Eagle. 1t varies in price
from $50 to 800, and stands up under
all conditions. We cannot say any
