WEIGHTS RESTORED
REBATES TO Be PAID,
RAILROADS AGAIN RECEIVING
COTTON AT 4S0 POUNDS.
Rebate Paid On All Shipped Over
That Weight. Cheap Freights
for Dawson,

Last weeks NEWS told of the effort to
defeat the cheap rates on cotton from
Dawson ordered by the railroad com.
mission along with general reduction
on all classes of freight to and from
Dawson.
When the new rates went into effect
the railroads attempted to meet them bv
billing all cotton at 500 pounds per bale.
the former weight at which it was re-
ceiyed for shipment being $50 pounds
per bale
When the business men learned of this
nOveme1ton the part of the railroads
they at once went to work to have the
old weights restored, with the result
that on last Saturday the local agents
Of the two roads here received instruc-
tons to restore cotton weights to the
former figure and pay rebate on all
that had beer shipped at 500 pounds
per bale.
Dawson now has cotton rate of 81
cents to Savannah, and is in better
position than ever to maintain her
Ilace at the head of the cotton mark
cts of southwest Georgia. The farm
aB will get the benefit OF this reduc-
ton IN cotton rates, and if possible
Dawson will be a greater cotton center
than ever before.
Not only has the freight rate on cotton
been reduced, but cheaper rates on all
kinds OfsgOods have gone into effect, and
will result in saving of S25, 200 annual
" to the people of Dawson and the farm
erS who do their trading here.
The original order Ct the railroad
commission reducing Dawson's freight
rates is as follows:
"OTuered, That the rates enforced at
Dawson from Atlanta be revised. so that
no greater rate shall be charged at Daw-
son from Atlanta than is charged at AL
bany upon the same classes. and that if
less sum than the maximum rates al
lowed is charged at Albany, Ca, that no
greater sum shall be charged at Dawson.
Said Central of Georgia Railway Co. and
Georgia and Alabama Railway are
hereby required to submit a new sCLed-
uIe Of rates on this basis within five
days from this date. tits further order
ed, That the proposed rate on cotton
from Dawson to Savannah and the rate
from Albany to Savannah be submitted
ahe same time.
This order is in,ended to cover not
only the rates from Atlanta to Dawson
and Albany, but from places using Allan.
taa5 basiug point for their rates to said
cities
1T is further ordered, That the said
Central of Georgia Railway Company and
the Georgia 4 Alabama Railway imu-e-
diatey desist from making the aforesaid
unjust determinations, and that they
put in force a schedule Of rates upon
the principles herein set forth.

Truth About the civil Service.

1t is great mistake to suppose that
Hon. Charles Hanna GroSvenor, Of Ohio,
speaks by authority for Major Mckinley
No particular Importance is to be attached,
therefore, to GIosv enor's recent utterances
touching the civil service system. though
many of the provincial newspapers. as we
have observed, have been taking Gresvenor
seriously. This coming administration viii
be great times for Grosvenor. and he will
talk considerably; and while Mr. Mckinley
will hardly think Of repudiating him openly.
it VIII soon be found that he is the vocal
organ and sponsor for nobody but himself.
AS for the present civil service system
the facts about it are very simple Some
scheme 10y which candidates for public
office. whether they We've important or
unimrortant, could be examined, became
| necessary in the growing pressure for
places in the government. 1t was a change
demanded alike by appointing officers
and 10y candidates themselves. There are
| in the country, who think that soft snaps
III the government are still To be had
for the asking. ana there are stnI mem
bers Of Congress who, however much they
felicitate themselves privately that the
examination system is i'll vogue. think it
Iolitic now and tEon 10 yowl through the
| the excitement OF their constituents The
plain truth is that every one who las to
do with the selection OF public officers
is slad that this barrier has been put up.
We refer to the positions purely clerical
| in places where the rolity of an adm inis-
| tration can he affected with regard 10
| IoIitics-that is. for which an administra
tion must be held responsible and OF
| which, consequently, that adminstra ration
| must in justice have the direction and
charge.
| It is another question whether the cx-
animation system. which is necessary AMI
| good in itself. is coming to be perfected
| fast enough. and whether the examina-
| tions for promotion are frequent ana search
ing enough. The entrance examinations
| ought. OF course, to determine as accurately
as possible who the best persons are for
| given places about to be filled. This is
required. in fairness to the government and
to the place holders. Also. it is again
automatic and TO be admitted that only
the most efficient should keep their places.
The only consideration that will stand all
tests is the efficiency of the whole service
