SEABOARD AIR LINE
MAKING SURVEY
From junction near At
lanta to Marietta and
ROckmart.

AS promised by Vice President Barr,
the surveyors of the Seaboard Air Line
are surveying their line of road from
the junction near Atlanta to Marietta,
and had reached Smyrna last week.
They will come into Marietta and then
go to Rockmart. II the survey shows
that the line is not heightened to an
appreciate extent and the citizens of
Marietta will give their assistance in
making an inducement to locate the
line here, then, we learn, the road will
touch Marietta and thus give us a COM
peting line of freight rates, which will
prove beneficial to Marietta and our
county.
Let us do what we can to secure
this important railroad. It will be the
means of inaugurating a number of
small factories. One party says he will
build sac, 900 cotton seed mill here at
once if the road comes to Marietta.
This you see will be a great stimu-
lus to our town and impart new conf
dence and enthusiasm in its upbuild-
ing.

A DECISION EXPECTED MONDAY
ON LUMBER INJUNCTION Case
If the Bill is Sustained It Will Cost the Lum-
bermen Million Dollars CONSIDERED
an Act of Discrimination.

jackson, June 27.-A decision is
expected Monday from Judge Niles on
the amended bill filed by the lumber
men of Mississippi to secure an in
junction restraining the advance of
two cents per 100 in the rate on yell
low pine, and the attorneys for the
lumber interests are confident that
they will win a clear-cut victory,
and that after temporary injunction
is granted they will succeed in having
the order made perpetual.
1t is estimated by the lumbermen
that if the increase is allowed to go
into effect it will cost them one mil
lion dollars per year in Mississippi
alone. The principal points on which
they base their objection to the in
crease rate, as set forth in the amend
ed bill, are as follows:
That it discriminates by giving the
white pine of the north an advantage
over southern yellow pine.
That the cost of production OF yel-
low pine has materially increased,
while there has been no advance in
price since January l, 1902.
!. That the railroads have decreased
the cost of freight traffic operation,
and rate increases are not justified on
this ground.
That the dividends declared by the
various railroads operating in the
states now that there is no necessity

for freight rate increases.

for freight rate increases.
That yellow pine alone is singled
ont, Notwithstanding that increases
of from two to three cents per 100
have been made during the past four
years.
That the railroads have failed to
provide cars sufficient for the trans
portation of lumber at the mills IN
readiness for shipment.
That the rate is unjust, discrimi-
natory and arbitrary through the dis
guised rebates.
The principal defense set up by the
railroads is that the Central Yellow
Pine Association, which is fighting
the case, is vioative of the federal
statute against trusts and combines,
and that the federal court has no juris-
diction in the matter.
Messrs. NJ. Green and L. Marshall
Miller, attorneys representing the
lumbermen, and Messrs. L. @. Epochs,
George S. Gardner, W. B. Hinton and
George Butterfeld, members OF the
Central Yellow Pine Association,
have returned from St. Louis where
they were present at the taking of
evidence before Commissioners Proudly
and Fifer in the tap line case, where
in it is contended that discrimination
is shown in giving the roads on the
western side of the Mississippi river
rebate from three to five cents per
100. whereas the lumberm en- owning
logging roads on the eastern n side OF
| the river are not allow ed rebates.

is not complete, if Mr.. Ferguson will

it a fast lightning express train,

Dickens Trip by StagecOach From
Cleveland tn Sandusky.
When Charles Dickens visited Amer
lea in 1912, be Travelled by stagecoach
from Cleveland to Sandusky, o. De-
scribing his experience, he wrote:
AT one time we were all thrown to-
gether in heap at the bottom of the
coach, and ut another we were crush
ing our heads against the roof. Now
the coach was lying on the tails of the
two wheelers, and now it was rearing
up in the air. The driver. who certain
ly got over the ground in manner
quite miraculous, so twisted and turn
ed the team in forcing passage cork
screw fashion through the boys and
swamps that it was Il common circum-
stance on looking out of the window to
see the cOachman with the ends of a
pair of reins in his hands. apparently
driving nothing, and the leaders star
ing Unexpectedly at one from the back
of the coach, as if they had some idea
of getting up behind.
"A great portion of the way was over
what is called corduroy road which
is made by throwing trunks of trees
into a marsh and leaving them to set
tie there. The very slightest of the
jolts with which the ponderous car
riage fell from log to log was enough,
it seemed, to have dislocated all the
bones in the human body. 1t would be
impossible to experience a similar set
of sensations in any other circum-
stances unless perhaps in attempting
TO go up to the top of st. Paurs in an
omnibus"
This description serves to illustrate
the condition of our country roads, gen
orally speaking, as they were half a
century ago except in a few wealthy
communities. There has been Il Won
derful change since then.

Two seemingly harmless things ex-
cite the fear of the southern negro.
One is the cracking of the finger joints;
the other is to be stepped over as he
lies prone upon the ground. The crack
ing of the finger joints seems to sug-
gest to the negro imagination the rat
Ting of skeletons bones, while to be
stepped over is regarded as likely to
bring bad luck to grown folks and to
check the growth of children. A half
grown negro boy will sternly COM
mand playfellow who has stepped
over his body to step back in order
that the spell may be removed.

Old Rules For Night Policemen

Old Boston is wildly brought to
mind by the following excerpt from
the selectmen's minutes, dated Nov. l,
1863, containing instructions to watch
men:
In going the rounds care must be
taken that the watchmen are not noisy,
but behave themselves with strict de-
corum, that they frequently give the
time of the night and what the wealth
er is with distinct but moderate
voice, excepting at times when it is
necessary to pass in silence in order to
detect and secure persons that are out
on unlawful actions.
you and your division must en-
deavOr to suppress all routs, riots and
other disorders that may be committed
in the night and secure such persons
as may be guilty, that proper steps
may be taken next morning for a
prosecution as the law directs. We alb
solutely forbid your taking private
satisfaction or any bride that may be
offered you to let such go or to conceal
their offense from the selectmen."
