FREIGHT RATE COMPARISONS

CT: some of the articles are namely: cotton. flour. corn, wheat oats. rye. barley, bran, feed stuffs, lumber. wood, slaves. logs. brick laths. shingles, sasn. doors, blinds. sand. hay, fodder, straw. coal. stable manure, cotton seed meal, cotton seed hulls. and fertilizer.
 n The articles covered by C-D-F-J and ts conssituts about 70 per cent of all cry and Mobile Division of the Louis vile and Nashville Railroad, as per tneir sworn statement to the Alabama 1903 A"'
 Tt was further shown that in a com parison for forty miles in Georgia with tne rates prevailing on the Louisville ticles, that the average rate charged on the Louisville and Nashville in Ala oama was 1.24 per cent less than the average rate charged all lines in the S.ate or Georgia oh the same Identical In making comparisons 1t is only fair to show the average local rate charged on the Louisville and Nashville Standard Tariff, for distances from five 1 to forty miles; and for distances of from forty-five to one hundred miles. These average rates are herewith at- tached both on the classes mentioned by Mir. Compton as well as several well
 known commodities.
 These classes and commodities apply on more than 1.60p articles. which are covered by the Georgia Classification. Average Local Rates, for distances five to forty miles, applying on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad in Alabama. Per cwt. Also Georgia Standard Rates for same distances:

this State. and 1t was no doubt on this account MT. Compton was selected to make the comparisons with the Louis yilie ana Nashville In Alabama oefore The average local rates of the South- ern Railway in Alabama, for distances five to forty miles, are 25 per cent high CT than the average local rates of the for distances ferty-fivve to one hun dred miles the average local rates of the Southern are 1.4 per cent less than the average local rates of the Louis- Practically every official of the rail- roads that has appeared before the Alabama Railroad Commission testified that the roads in Alabama were not making any money and if the Georgia rates and Classification were put In ef- feet in this state they would soon be bankrupt.
 No good citizen of Alabama wants such rates as would bring about such a condition with our railroads. But Is this statement true? How Is this to be determined? There Is no safer way l beg to quote you from letter just received from the Secretary of the Rail- road Commission of Georgia: "Effec- adopted a Standard Tariff and ciassifil cation of Freight, both of which have been amended from time to time since that date. The mileage. in Georgia in age at present Is 6229 miles,
 The increase in mileage in the State of Georgia, since the adoption of the Standard Tariff and Classification of Freight. is S,S29 miles or 155 per cent increase. Does this show the railroads In Georgia to be bankrupt?
 If the average rates on the Loais- vile and Nashville Railroad in Ala baIna are less than on all lines in Geor- gia, as MT. Compton says. why are they So bitterly. opposed to adopting the Georgia rates for Alabama?

GADsDEN CORPORATIONS.
Two Concerns of Social and Benevolent
 Nature.

Certificates of two social and educa- tional associations of Gadsden were filed yesterday with the Secretary of State which would seem to indicate that there is a new demand in the cap ital of Etowah to get together for bet torment and entertainment.
 Order of the Sons of the South, the objection of which is given as the moral social. economic and education al benefit and advancement of its members and thelr associates" The incorporators are Otto Agricola, E. s. Jones, W. P. Johnson, J. S. Morgne, w. J. Boykin. A. R. Brindley. l.. L.. Herzberg, R. A. Harris. R. R. Sim monds and L. A. Watson.
 The other organization named The Coming Generation New Enterprise Benevolent and Educational Society" Its object is given as "the moral so- cial. economic and educational benefit and advancement of It's members and their associates" Those who have lent their names as incorporators are J. P. Wesson, S. W. Brothers, R. H |. McDaniel, Barney McLendon, O. H :. saxon. J. H. Wesson, P. H. Gilbreath, A, R. While, H. N. Wesson and w. L. Saxon.
 Another corporation reported from Gadsden as the "A. and J. Manufac. turing Company" which has increased its capital from $1O.o00 to S25.o0o. The information is so meagre that the Sec retary of State Is not able to tell just what 1t is.

The i27 articles selected by MT. Compton were not fair comparison for two reasons, 1st, 1t was misleading, End, 1t does not show the actual com Diving on his road in Alabama and on aIi the roads in the State of Georgia The 127 articles are covered by classes 1-2-s-4-5 and 6. A few of them are kinds. cotton gins. feeders and conden- sers. farming implements, of various kinds, dry goods. snuff, tobacco; smok- ing and chewing. seed, household goods; etc Admitting that the rates In Geor- eia are 2G6 per cent higher on the above articles than they are on the Louisville and Nashville In Alabama; bounds on chewing tobacco or an in- creased cost to the consumer of five cents on 800 plugs of tobacco. which would be practically nothing.
 could make a comparison on. cotton, flour, wheat, corn. rye. barley, bran;
 meal cotton seed hulls and fertilizer.
 which would have shown the average rates, for distances five to forty miles, on the Louisville and Nashville Tn Ala
 bama are 4.5 per cent higher than the ay- craze of the rates applicable on all roads in the State of Georgia; for distances forty-five to one hundred miles the Nashville in Alabama are ss per cent higher than the average of the rates applicable on all roads In the State or Georgia. This increase bears dlrectiy on the consumers.
 The above comparison is not any moro unfair to the railroads than the one made by MT. Compton on his 127 articles are to the people of Alabama The local rates of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad In Alabama. for dis tances from five to forty miles. are much lower than any other railroad in

SOLICITOR OF WALKER COURT, Several Lawyers May Apply for the
 Place.

A contest has developed In Walker County for the office of Solicitor of the Walker County Law and Equity Court, recently re-established by decision of the Supreme Court
 When the court was abolished in 1903 by act of the Legislature J. J. Ray was the Solicitor. Later he was elected circuit judge which. of course, put him out of the old place, and when the court was again set up it had & judge, Hon. Peyton Powell. who would not own that he had been legislatted out of a job But there was no Solicitor.
 At the last election Sheriff Lacy was chosen judge of the defunct court and R. l.. Blanton Solicitor. Mir Lacy lives in Jasper and would have stood chance for a vacant judicial place. but MT. Blanton's residence is in Win ston County which lets him out of a Walker County court altogether.
 So far there have been no names suggested to the Governor for appoint ment to the place of Solicitor, but no doubt there will be a number of them. Possibly Judge Ray will be in the race. It is understood that several others will ask for the position. The com pensation Is the same as allowed cir cult solicitors.

COTTON IN MONTGOMERY.
Indications are Receipts Will Run Ovea
 2OO.OOa HafeA.

The cotton week ending Thursday night is the first: one since September lst, when receipts of cotton in Mont gomery fell below 1000 bales. The amount for the week was 96O, against
 With even ordinary summer receipts, and anything like what Is generally received in August, the total receipts 19o4-O5 viii, for the first time in its history, reach 100000 bales: This Will be about 3O,0U0 more than for the year 1903-O4. The increase to date Is 2o'fSS bales.
 Another noticeable feature of 'he cotton situation here IS the great move mcnt of the staple. For several weeks past cotton buyers have been almost as busy as in the carly fall. The stock Is being reduced at the rate of 5000 and 4,OO0 bales per week. and that means a large amount of work
 From fl ,00O bales stock a short time ago, 1t has been rapidly reduced to about 12.000. which Is about twice the stock on hand at this time last year. Three or four weeks buying and sRip- ping at the present rate will reduce the amount in Montgomery to practically nothing.
