South are very prone to giving
passes Unfortunately, SO that on
some of the smaller roads about all

body who can afford to pay his
fare goes scot free, while the ne
groes and poor country folk pay
the large fares exacted the larger,
of course, for the road s loss on the
dead heads. One Georgia railroad
however, has set its face against
the evil and has resorted to Scrip
ture to make plain its position. It
has posted in the two or three pas.

contrast to his election six years ago, when.
after a most exciting political contest, he
secured only the requisite number of votes,
70, to elect on joint ballot, the senate on
