The Railroad Comnission's Order.
From the Atlanta Constitution.


From the Atlanta Constitution.
There Is an obdurate little railroad in Georgia
which has not only shown a disposition TO fight
all the rest Of the State. but which seems serene
ly confident that 1t will win. 1t is only thirty.
six miles long and runs from Dublin 10 Tcnnille.
Its name is the Wrightsville and Tennille Rail-
road. and is especially distinguished for its pros
Derity and its pugnacious qualities. Last year
the cotton growers along the line of this road were
compelled TO ship their cotton over the Georgia
Central because the road refused TO issue
through bills OF lading over any other line.
Some OF the growers wanted to ship their cotton
over the Augusta Southern. but the Wrights-
vile and Tennille refused to give them through
bills over that line, and made no pretence 10
disguise their preferences. The result was that
the Georgia Central got nearly Rll the cotton
and the Augusta southern got left.
The matter was carried before the railroad
commission and that body handed down u de-
Railroad to issue through bills OF iadinc over ali
railroads and not TO play any favoritcs. The
commission also ordered the MISUNDERSTANDING
OF the state TO begin proceedings for damages

NEW PAUPER ASYLUM
New County Attorney.

The County Commissioners met
last week to sign the record OF the
December term, and wind up the
business.
They received two bids for burn
ing on or delivering at the county
poor farm from 4O0, 900 to 100000
good brick, for building a new
county poor asylum, the number to
be determined after the plan OF the
new building shall be adopted and
approved by the State Board OF
Charities. 1t is intended the brick
shall be burned next summer, and
the building erected during 1898.
The Board asked bids for the fur
nishing OF brick on the grounds,
with the privilege of burning them
there, to save hauling, if desired.
A. Hochgesang bid 1910 per
1000, but wanted the county to FUR
nish all the fuel to burn them and
the necessary lumber for the kiln
md yard.
n. Melchior agreed to furnish
everything and burn them on the
farm for IS per 1000. The Board
thought this the best bid, and
awarded him the contract. The
county certainly needs a bette1
county poor house, ard by spread
ing the expense over two years, OF
maybe three, will get it without 60
ing in debt any, and will have
more substantial building.
Bids were also received for serv
ng as county attorneys. Milburn 4
sweeney bid 500, Brett Il McFall
Did 1925. The Board awarded th'
contract to the highest bidder
Milburn & Sweeney have been the
county attorneys for two years, ant
have generally discharged the du
ties satisfactorily, but as the con
tract calls for the county attorney
appearing for all poor Grim inals
following any changes of venue t
other counties for only their actua
expenses, and as the county ha'
been charged $135 in Pike count,
for defending leila Kellams, al
though Milburn was there to defen'
her, the Board did not like it, ar
, determined to make scape-goa
of the home attorneys, and so con
tracted to pay another firm, n
more competent than they, So
/, more for next years work than wa
bid.
