To the Editor of Tuscaloosa Times, Tus-
caloosa, Ala.
Dear Sir-In your issue of August 1, you
quote from the Admission Hot Blast as fol-
lows:
Are the people of Alabama less pro-
gressive, less liberal and less intelligent
than those of our sister states of Georgia?
The commission is elective there and the
railroads have not suffered. Cannot the
people of Alabama be trusted as well as
the people of Georgian"
I take this opportunity of informing you
that you have been imposed upon by the
wholesale merchants and paid attorneys
who are conducting the warfare now be-
ing waged against the railroad interests
of this state. 1 am sure that it Is only
necessary to convince you that you have
been deceived in order to induce you to
correct the erroneous impression as above.
Section PISS of the code of Georgia,
which is the law of the state of Georgia
today, is as follows, to-wit:
''21S5. Commissioners, appointment, term
and salary-There shall be three commits
sioners appointed by the governor, with
the advice and consent of the senate. to
carry out the provisions of this article.
of whom one shall be of experience In
the law, and one of experience in railway
business. After the expiration of the term
of office of the commissioners first ap-
pointed, the term of office OF. successors
shall be six years; but at the first ap-
pointment one commissioner shall be ap-
pointed for two years, one for four years
and one for six years. The salary of
each commissioner shall be twenty-five
hundred dollars, to be paid from the
treasury of the state"
You will find. upon investigation, that
the railroad commissioners of the state
of Georgia have always been appointed by
the governor, by and with the advice and
consent of the seate. just the same as
has always been done In Alabama.
| In the interest of truth. l ask that you
correct the erroneous impression which
has evidently been made upon your read
ers. Yours truly,
| Signed ]. M. FALKNER,
District Attorney.

At SARATOGA.

Saratoga, N. Y, August 1s-Skillful,
the two-year-old colt by Mirthful-Skadi,
purchased by Charles Ellison at the sale
of the Clarence H. Mackay horses on
Tuesday last, upset all calculations by
winning the $4,000 United States Hotel
stakes from a first-class field today.
Skillful was overlooked up to the time
of his victory and so little was his
chance considered that he was at 20 to
1 in the betting. His owner mad good
sized bet on the colt, winning $4,000 in
wagers in addition to the purse.
The field numbered 49, Athel, of very
fast trial, was favorite, with Chapel Sec
ond choice and the western filly, Judith
Campbell and Aceful and Maxine, an
added starter, all well played. Judith
Campbell, followed by Skllful and Athel,
cut out the running, with the others two
lengths away. This was the order to the
stretch, where Judith Campbell fell back
beaten, and Charles Elwood Joined the
leaders. A driving finish ensued, with
Skillful just lasting long enough to win
by a head from Athel, who was an open
length in front Of Charles Elwood Athel

pulled up.
