A srinton-pana sterx.

The cruz of the newspaper question
was touched by brilliant journalist,
the late John Swinton. for many years
managing editor Of the New York Sun.
in a retort on Mr.. Dana. "Swinton."
said Mr.. Dana one day. Il need first
class editorial writer. Have you one
to recommends" How much are you
willing to pay. Mr.. Dana" asked Mr..
Swinton. For a first class man 1928
a week." was the reply. "But you can
not get first class man for that" pro-
tested Mr.. Swinton. why notT asked
Mr.. Dana. THAT is what pay you.
and don't you consider yourself first
class man" "No, Mr.. DANA" rejoined
Mr.. Swinton. IF were first class
man | should be paying you S125 g
week." That $125 week practically
marked the limit Of Mr.. Swinton's op-
portunity. as it may be said to mark
the limit of the same quality Of brains
In journalism today-and also the limit
of something far more vital, for the
difference between a Dana and Swim
ton defines status.-Arthur K. KimbaP

Next month Senator Elklns and
other great men will meet to take
testimony and to hear arguments
about railroad rates. These
learned gentlemen will first hear
arguments as to whether the Con-
gress of the United States can
censtitutionally enact a law that
will prevent one set of men from
robbing and driving another set
not so wealthy out of business.
Whenever a law is proposed to
prevent monopolies from favoring
certain monopolists they always
cry it's unconstitutional to do
such a thing. But we seem to
have a President just now that
promises everybody "fair
deal" and he may aid this COM
mittes to see matters different
from what they look at them
now. A poor devil in Monroe
county stole a few postage stamps
and he was promptly sent to the
penitentiary. But that is consti-
tutiOnal. The railroads can rob a
man of all he has by UNJUST and
discriminating rates III favor OF
a rich monopolist. and this is I'M
constitutional to stop it. We will
see what PRECEDENT Roosevelt has
to say on this question before
many moons roll around. We are
very sorry our own United States
Senator has such a dreadful case
of the simples. He will probably
change his views when he wants
to be reelected in a couple OF
years from now

potatoe. and Apples Short.

With rot in the potato crop, scab Oh
the apples and Jack Frost on the heels
Of the lazy corn crop, farmers have
their troubles this year. We fear that
the potato rot will be serious. The wet
soil and "muggy" weather give just
the right conditions for the rot to
spread. If in the face Of these trou-
bles buyers try to get the apples for
less than they are worth by spreading
reports of "big crop" there will be live
Iy times. Our reports show that the
apple crop is short in sections where
large supplies are usually provided. Do
not give away your apples or be
frightened into selling them at low
figure. The demand is greater than
ever before. while the total supply Is
less than last year.-Rural New Yorker

TO BUILD FACTORY
AT COOKVILLE

Active preparations are being made
by the Cloverine Fertilizer On of this
city, to erect a factory at GOODWILL
where fertilizers of the Cloyerine brand
will be manufactured for distribution in
that part of the county There is a
great saving in the Handling of the in
gradients OF TIE iertlnzer piior to mix
my, on account of difference IN the
freight rates between the material for
mixing and the manufactured fertilizer.
Many experiments with this fertilizer
were made in Putnam county last year,
and they were phennmenally successful!
The demand will justify the erection of
a we'll equipped plant at Cookville, which
viii have d capacity of perhaps eight
tor s per day, and a great saving of
freights will result therefrom.

RAILROAD MOGULS
 HOLD CONFERENCE
WILL DISCUSS QUESTION OF IN- TERsTATE RATES WITH GEoR- CHA RAILROAD COMMISSION IN EFFORT TO AGREEMENT.

Atlanta, March 7.-(Special.) )-There will be an important conference on Sat urday between the railroad commission of Georgia represented by Commissioner Joseph M Brown and the traffic officials of the principal railroads operating in Georgia, with view to reaching some adjustment of the question of intra-state rates, upon which the railroad represen- tatives have been working for some weeks past, hoping to be able to make a proposition which will be acceptable to the railroad commission.
 It is expected that there will take part in the conference for the railroads, Traffic Manager T. c. Powell of the Southern. Vice President and Traffic Manager W. A. Winburn of the Central of Georgia. Traffic Manager Horace Smith of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Traffic Manager Emerson of the Atlantic Coast Line. Vice President E. F. Cost of the seaboard and General Manager T. K. Scott of the Georgia railroad.
 At this conference it is understood the railroad representatives will submit a proposition as to what reductions they are willing to make In certain rates with in the state which have been complained of by certain communities as discriminat- ing against them unjustly and the situa- tion will be gone over with Commissioner Brown with a view to ascertaining If satisfactory solution of the problem can be reached without action on the part of the commission.
 It is stated the discriminations com plained of arise largely out of a manip- ulation by the railroads of the standard tariff the roads having reduced the rates made by the commission in some in- stances much lower than in others. It was agreed when the commission with drew it's circulars 301 and os- that the railroads would endeavor to revise the Georgia rates so as to make them satis- factory to the commission, and it is with this object in view that the conference will be held on Saturday next, March Il.
