made to Norfolk and Portsmouth for the
protection of its own lines.
The commission has adopted a rule
which provides that:
When a rate Oh cotton is made TO .
port out of this State which is less than
the rate from the same point to Gcor-
gia ports. the railroads SHAH be author
lied to meet said competitive rates.
provided that before taking effect the
proposed change Of rates shall he sub
lnitted to and approved by the comm,s-
sion"
The commission made this rule to PRE-
tect the roads in Georgia; as well as the
Georgia ports. as it would be ruinous if
by reductions which the Georgia lines
were not allowed to meet. the cotton
movement should be diverted to Charles
ton and Virginia ports.
The rate this season 10 Savannah has
been 43 cents, while the Norfolk-Purts-
mouth has been 40 cents, a differential
of 6 cents. Upon learning of the Sea-
boards cut from 10 TO -, the Central
wired the commission for authority TO
put i'll 10 cent rate from Atlanta and
Athens to Savannah. to preserve the 6
cents differential between the Norfolk
Portsmouth and Savannah rates. At a
meeting Of the commission yesterday
afternoon this authority was granted. the
necessary documents being Forwarded
last night to Savannah.
COTTON MEN ARE PLEASED.
The faces of local cotton men are
wreathed i'll smiles, and they are rub
bling their hands gleefully over the situa-
ton. Their only regret is that the fight
was not on earlier in the season, but
they are thankful for small favors Cot
ton is the subject of more rate cutting
than any other freight because it IS the
most important single item moved in the
South, and owing to its Importance and
the opportunities offered for secret ma.
nipulations at congresses and at the
ports, but so far this season the tariffs
We're too rigidly maintained to exactly
suit the cotton men, who Ike little
excitement occasionally.
Considerable speculation has been in
dulged in, particularly in railroad cir
Giles, as to whether the present fight has
any connection with the recent sale of
the Seaboard to the Williams syndicate
of Richmond. This syndicate owns the
Georgia end e Alabama. which is re-
garded IS free lance, and which has
been accused of doing as ii pleased in
rate manipuations. Some regard this
cotton cut as an Indication that these
two lines are going to be lively factors
in the railroad situation henceforth, and
that the fighting has just begun. Otli-
ers are inclined to the belief that it is
merely IN incident growing out of the
present cotton situation. and that har-
monious adjustment will be reached at
an early day. The outcome will be
watched with interest.
