THE GEORGIA PINE RATES.
Railroad Commissioners Asked to Reduce Its
Passenger Rates.

From the Bainbridge Democrat
Several persons along the line
of the Georgia Pine Railway are
petitioning the railroad commission
of Georgia to reduce the passen-
ger fares of this oaby road of only
80 miles in length to the same
figure charged by all the long lines
viz, cents per mile-while the law
permits roads of such length as the
Georgia Pine to charge 4 cents per
mile. The policy Of this little road
has always been extremely liberal and
equitable towards its patrons and the
people living adjacent to its lines-its
service has been always equal to that
of any road in the state, no matter how
old or how long, and it would be mani
testify wrong for the railroad commits
sion cut the passenger fare one cent.
A counter petition has been in circu-
lation the past few days and we hope
every body will sign, asking the com
mission to leave the Georgia Pine S
passenger fare alone.

ANTS DIG ARTESIAN WELL.
A Flow Seven Feet High Gushes frem Bed
of These Busy Insects in MlIen.

Its a notorious fact, says cores
pondent writing from Millen, Ca, that
red ants will dig their holes until they
strike water. Near the depot in Mil
len, and in about fifty feet of one of
the many artesian wells, is colony OF
big red ants that have been working
in the same bed for ove- fifty years.
One of the Oldest citizens says they
have been there for that length of time
to his certain knowledwe, but can't say
how long they were there before that
time. One can imagine the astonish-
ment of the people of Millen when
they saw this Thursday morning a
bold flow of artesian water feet high
coming from this red ant bed. The
poor fellows dug to their own destruc-
ton. A very peculiar thing about it
is that it has cut off the wells here.
There is great excitement here. Peo-
pie for miles around are coming in
hourly to see this wonderful well.

humblest man in the country is capa-
BILE of pointing out the real seat OF re-
sponsibility.
The miners of the anthracite coal
regions are striking because the trusts
have so raised the cost of living that
the men cannot support life on their
wages. This great multitude OF toilers
deserve the sympathy and support OF
every good man or woman in the Unit
ed States.
"Nearly every republican newspaper
has given evidence Of the GOODNESS with
which the trusts ana their allies have
met the desperate protest and appeal
of the desperate mine workers. The
cruelest element in the whole scene IS
the light tone of scorn adopted by the
organs of the coal trust.
