1t has long been question in the minds
of thousands why it is that the rail-
roads charge about twice as much for car
rying a carload of phosphate as they do
for a car of common Florida rock. The
roads have been severely and unjustly
criticised on account of this discrimina-
ton in freight rates, but only by those
who have never seen this problem solved.
Such critics usually go off half cooked,
and never wait to see if their criticisms
are well founded They seem to feel that
the roads ought to be cursed on general
principles, and they proceed to hurl their
anathemas and denunciations without
mercy.
The railroads have to graduate their
freight rates according to the value of the
goods they are transporting. The neces-
sity of this can be seen in the fact that
the more valuable their cargo, the greater
their responsibility. In contracting with
the shipper, they assume the responsible
ity to safely transport and deliver the
goods entrusted to their care, and hence
their charges must correspond with the
value of the goods. If a valua Bile cargo
be lost in transit the loss to the railroads
would necessarily be great, and therefore
we can see the necessity of the rate being
correspondingly high; otherwise the rail-
they would necessarily sustain. That all
freights are classed is fact not generally
known. Freight that is valuable or liable
to be materially damaged while in tran
sit is placed in certain class, and the
rate is fixed accordingly
on the same principle, the express COM
NAMES charge more for carrying $1,000
than they do for 500; not that it really
costs them more to transport the former
than it does the latter, but because their
responsibility is greater. Should the $1,000
be lost in transit they would have to make
it good and thus sustain a heavy loss
and hence the necessity Of charging a
higher rate This is reasonable; and. if
reasonable, It must be right, and If right,
no one should complain and accuse the
railroads of unjust determination. This
Is the true answer to great problem, and
we trust chat oil will set II down in their
books so they won't forget IT,

a Better Feeling Prevails Among
the Fraternity.

For the first time in years the plumbers
Of Savannah intend to give a picnic for
the benefit of their families and friends
There would probably be no more than
ordinary significance to the prospective
event were it not an indication of restor-
ed good feeling among the plumbers, who
have been at outs on matters pertaining
to local legislation. A better feeling pre-
walls now, however, aud it is said the
plumbers intend TO pull together to make
the picnic success.
A few preliminary conferences have al
ready been held about the arrangements,
but the desire to have every plumber par
tcipate in arranging the programme, ana
also selecting the place for the picnic has
caused those who have it in charge
to call general meeting for tonight at
the Paul Plumbing Company's office in the
Knights of Pythas building At this
meeting all matters relative to the outing
VIII be talked over, and arrangements
made for it. 1t is not known where the
plumbers will decide to so. but it is said
Warsaw Island has been mentioned. anc
may be selected as the place A pro-
gramme of entertaining features will be
arranged, so that none who attend will
have any reason on returning for dissat-
isfactiOn.
1t is said there is a possibility that the
picnic will lead up to an organization of
plumbers which will bring them into CLOS
er touch than they are at present.

DIED WHILE BEATING A MAN.
The Victim, Although Knocked Down
Three Times, Tried to Aid the Dy-
ing Man.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Reading. July 1.-THE funeral of Con-
tractor William NJ. Fulton, who died while
| beating a man, took place to-day and
was largely attended. Harvey Whitman.
the man Fulton was beating, who was
in Jail, was discharged on a habeas cor
pus hearing before Judge Ermentrout
The details of Fulton's tragic death. as
brought out before the Judge, showed
tragedy that is very rarely equaled on the
dramatic stage. Whitman was friend of
the family. He called at the house and
was questioned about Fulton. Whitman
says he simply answered Mrs. FuIton's
queries. She told her husband and then
Fulton attacked Whitman on the street and
beat and kicked him savagely.
John Stricken testified: Fulton caught
Whitman, knocked him down. kicked him
and beat him. Whitman got on his feet.
but was again Knocked down into the gut
ter. For the second time Whitman got up
and Fulton, then very excited knocked
him down for the third time and began
10 heat and kick him. Whitman was too
exhausted 10 defend himself. Whitman fin
ally got up. Fulton staggered. saying with
a gasp: If 1 was not played out ia kin
you Then Fulton leaned against the
fence. painting, and asked for water. He
held his left breast and his head dropped
Whitman went TO Fulton and famed him
with his hat to make air for him Then
Witman said: Bill let's be friends oh.
God, help me, l must die, was all Fulton
could say. Whitman got Fulton a drink
of water and helped him to lie down. Then
Fulton died"
After hearing more witnesses, to the
effect that Whitman did not strike a blow.
nor did he attempt to strike the man who
threatened to kill him. but that he helped
him all he could after being knocked down
three times, Judge Ermentrout ordered
Witman's release.

NEGROES BACK FROM AFRICA.
They Say They Found Liberia Worse
Than Sahara Desert.


From the Baltimore Sun.
Boston, July 16-Partly as a result of
fear on account of the alleged persecu-
tons by the while people of the South.
and partly from a spirit of adventure,
Cote Shack and Harley Kirtley, both col
ored, recently got their families together
and set sail for Liberia. They gathered
together all the money they could, went
to England, and thence took boat to
Liberia
But the supposed Paradise of the col
ored man in Africa, according to their
story of their experiences was worse than
the desert of Sahara. The reception they
got surprise them. Instead of being wei
coined with open arms and offered plenty
of work. they were looked down upon.
and, although willing TO earn their bread
were refused a chance.
They have returned to Boston. They
say the negro has absolutely no chance to
earn living in Liberia. All the wealth
OF the country is now in The hands of a
few persons. Though Shack and Kirtlev
were expert farmers, they were not given
any kind Of farm work.
Broken-hearted and respondent. the men
of the families appealed to the captain of
an Elder-Dempster Line steamer 10 give
them passage to England. They told him
of the trials and sufferings they endured
They said they had spent what money
they had, the savings of almost a life
time, and that they were willing to do any
thing on the snip if they could get pass
age to England
The kind-hearted captain believed their
story, and they were taken TO England.
Al BRISTOL England, they found Capt e.
A. Evans of the steamer Etolia and he
brought the party 70 Boston.
