NATIONAL FARMERS CONGRESS-
opposes Government Rate-Making.

Richmond, September 16.-The grow
ing opposition among the shippers and
producers everywhere to the fixing of
railway rates by government authority.
as proposed by the Esch-Townsend bill
and similar measures, is indicated by
| the action of the Farmers National
Congress yesterday at it's animal con-
Ventlon here. The Congress is made up
o. representative farmers from everv
state IN the country, the representation
from the south and middle-west being
especially large.
| Last year the Congress was in favor
OF giving the Interstate Commerce
Commission the power to fix railroad
rates, and resolutions to this effect w ere
introduced this year and were support
ed in able speeches by Congressman
| Adams of Wisconsin, and others. But
| the members of the Congress were con-
vInced that government regulation of
rates. with the consequent fixing of
these rates on a distance basis, would
| mean that they would be compelled to
pay more for shipping their products
to markets, or that the middlemen
would have to pay more, in which case
1T would come quito the farmers peck
cts
While declaring strongly against re-
bates and unjust determinations, and
in favor of the enforcement of the
existing law on these subjects. the
farmers refused to endorse the propo-
sition to give any government body the
power to name the actual rate which a
railroad shall charge for the transpor-
tation CT freight. The resolutions adopt
ed are as follows:
Whereas, We favor the active enforce
meut by the general government of all
existing laws in order to prevent the
giving or acceptance of rebates or spe-
cial favors Through whatever DEVICE
to or by favored shippers, and.
Whereas, We expect that the Inter-
state Commerce Commission will ag
gressively and promptly apply all
remedies at their DISPOSAL now, there
fore,
Resolved: That if the existing laws
for the detection and punishment of
the giving or acceptance of such re-
bates or special favors are insufficient
or defective in any respect, we favor
the enactment of such further legisla-
ton as may be necessary adequately to
deal with the evil and prevent such
practices in the future.

About Postal Card and
School Teacher Lynch's
Arrest.
Marietta, Ca, Sept. IA, 1905.

/
Editors Journal-The daily papers of
The state have something to say about
one J. B. Lynch for simply asking for
money on postal card.
Without saying anything about the
propriety of giving this matter to the
press ex-parte, I desire to give the facts
in reference thereto and let the public
reach conclusion in the premises.
j. b. Lynch, as | am informed, lbe-
gan to teach school at Riverside. in
this county. in JanuaIy last. Sometime
thereafter, he came to my office to ar
range to get the public money for the
school. Informed him that could not
engage him at that time. for he had no
liscense and was not a resident of this
state and besides, had no evidence of
his moral character. He stated that l
could investigate that and satisfy my
self
L informed him what the school
would pay and when it would be paid il
school was taught under contract.
On February 25, 1905, he came to my
home and stated that he was among
strangers and without money and in
need | then endorsed his note for
twenty-five dollars.
The first payment sent out by the
state to teachers was April 81, 1905 If
he had had contract his part would
have been only $1,000 and he had al
ready received $500 on note which I
had paid.
AT that time he was requested to
sign contract in accordance with our
tirst conversation. He refused to sign
the contract and let the matter rest.
The next communication l had from
him was on postal card as follows:
"FIuIthurst, Ala, May 7, 1905.
Sir-Your fourth lie to me becomes
evident by your delay in sending my
money. don't be so swinish or mulish
because you are public official. Con.
slider that other people have few rights
in this land of the free and the home
OF the brave. Lieing has caused more
gentlemanlY fellows than you to loose
good graft job / want my money
now. u r Lvnch.U
On May s, 1905, | wrote him that,
from sufficient evidence all permission
to teach school in Cobb county was re-
voked.
The second payment from the state
was received June 2, 1905. In that |
had no account for him
| received a postal card copied be-
low:
Hefin, Ala. June 26, 1905
Sir-If you don't have manhood
or honor enough to keep your word
and if the law will not compel a rascal
to make good in a short time, you may
expect to meet me and / will collect
in my own way You are liable for
fraud in this transaction
-. B. Lynch"
The United States postal authorities
have this matter in hand | en- not the
prosecutor.
L make this statement so all fair per-
sons can determine whether it was an
innocent request for money or mali.
cious libel
| only add that the fitness of this man
from New Jersey to teach, is evidenced
not only by the language he uses, but
by the spelling on these cards above
copied and further by inducing an in
nocent girl to promise to marry him in
order to get possession of her money
and for which he fled ii state.
