It should be early borne in mind that At lanta Rome, Columbus and Macon, when shipping to points in Ara bama, are sub ject to the same basis of rates that ap- plies from Birmingham to the same points.
 An examination of the map will show that under the most favorable adjustment of rates Birmingham could not expect to compete to ma ter.al extent with these Georgia commercial centers In distributing merchandise to points in Georgia. There is however, very large and valuable ter rftory in Alabama which is naturally tribu tary to Birmingham, and to all of this ter ritory the rates from Birmingham are ad- justed on as favorable basis as the rates from any other commercial center, whether in Georgia or Alabama. To territory north and west of Birmingham none of the Geor- gia distributing points are In position to compete to a material extent. East of Birmingham the wholesale merchant at that point can compete in the direction of Atlanta as far as Hefiin, Ala, distance of S2 miles, in the direction of Rome, to Anniston. Ala. a distance of 62 miles; in the direction of Columbus, to KellYton, a distance of 75 miles; and in the direction of Macon to Opelika, a distance of 129 miles By ability to tcompete' is meant that the rates from Atlanta, Rome, Colum- bus and Macon, respectively, to points be- tween Birmingham and Hefin. Anniston, Kellyton and Opelika are adjusted on the same basis as from Birmingham. This can be made clear by making comparison of the actual rates charged from Birmingham and from the other commercial centers which are given below:

on grain and aM other articles are adjusted on a very liberal basis The present rates to Birmingham have been the subject of complaint before the interstate commerce commission being in many cases lower than to other points in the same territory the distances to which are less They are in many cases lower and in no case higher than the rates to Montgomery, which point has the beneit of active water transporta- tion. They are lower than the rates to Atlanta and other points which distribute dn the same territory For convenient ref erence, we give below a statement of the rates from Louisville, which illustrates the relative adjustment from all western points:

these investments. The capital has been invested in the expectation that the rail- road properties would be given fair treat ment and permitted to earn a reasonable return such Investments, and it is con- fidentialy hoped that the Birmingham Com mercial association will not lend its support to any legislative enactments which shall have the effect of destroying the valuV of railroad properties in the state of Alabama and retarding the building of new roads which are needed to reach ,the undeveloped territory of the state.

It will be seen from this statement that the great cotton-growing states of Missis- sippi Arkansas and Texas all carry higher rates on cotton generally than are carried fin Alabama, notwithstanding the earnings per mile of road on their important lines are greater in those states than the earn ings of some of the important lines in Ala bama and Georgia.

commission on this point should be con- elusive.
 It is also proper ito call attention to the fact that the railroad interests of the state of Alabama represent very large propor- tfon of the property of the state and pay very large part of the taxes. The valuation of the railroads, for the three years ended June, 1898, was as follows:
 1S9G ....... ....... .,... S45 4o6 603 95 ls9I ........... ....... 45 ,261, ,153 91 1898 ........... ........ A. 596 191 %
 In 1898 the value of the railroad rroperty represented r per cent of the appraised valuation of all property in the state, and the taxes paid by the railroads during that year aggregated $590 ,5e3. .62.

a certain amount Of Arabian and non u-EGropean

Of the byzantine Empire to resist tho Turks
