AMERICAS DESIRES
EQUITABLE RATE.
Smaller Markets of Georgia
Affected.
3 SPECIAL RATE TO ATLANTA
In po1tant Freight Rate Legislation
Observation-Disclosures Now Has De
cided Advantage Over Other csor-
gIa Points in Freight Rates.

After being in the United States
Court for abont year, decision was
handed down few days ago in the in
junction case of the Southern Railway
versus the Georgia Railroad Com
, Commission against the enforcement OF
the horizontal reduction in rates or.
dered by the commission Just a year
ago, says the Columbus Enquirer.
There is another railroad case be-
fore the District Court at Atlanta in
which the whole state is interested by
reason of the serious determinations
against every interior city in the state
in favor of the city of Atlanta.
This is the case of NJ. C. Kiser Il Co.
ct. al. VS.. Central of Georgia Railway
ct. al, the facts in the case being about
as follows:
Some two years of more ago the rail
roads of the state had in force, to the
leading towns and cities in the state, 8
freight rate on boots and shoes from
eastern manufacturing points about
twenty to twenty-five cents per 100
pounds less than prevails at the pre-
sent time. The railroads considered the
rates too low and gave the statutory
notice of intention to advance.
Immediately before the new rates
were to be effective, the Atlanta shoe
interests procured an injunction, re-
straining the railroads from advancing
the rates to that city
This had the effect still existing, OF
giving the shoe interests of Atlanta a
low rate, while every other city in the
state Except the ports) had to pay the
advanced rates, thus constituting a
harmful and serious discrimination
against the people of Georgia and in
favor one city therein.
This case was entered probably two
years ago and still remains entered
As matter of course the Atlanta mer-
chants are satisfied with the status quo
and the railroads by their passive in-
action in the matter are apparently
placed in the position of approval of
the discrimination,
At the present time Albany, Ameri-
Gus, cambridge, Rome, Athens and
Townsville are paying $l.05 per 100
pounds; Macon, one hundred miles
nearer the coast, is paying S1.O2; Au-
gusta, on the same river as Savannah
is paying 90 cents, while Atlanta un-
der the beneficenu operations of the
injunction, continues to get her boots
and shoes at 50 cents per 100 pounds.
Now there are only two sides to the
proposition: either Atlanta is entitled
to the low rate or is not.
If it is, then in common fairness the
same rate should be granted to other
cities either similarly or better located.
If not, then the rate to Atlanta should
be advanced to the same basis as other
competing points, thus removing the
undue advantage now possessed by
that city.
The boot and shoe interests of our
G md the other cities of Georgia are
enh d to a speedy adjustificatiOn of
this matter and it is to be sincerely
hoped that the question will be brought
to an issue without further delay

BARNEY JOY
AND Al MOORE
JOY GIVES BATTERS THEIR
WALKING PAPERS AND LOSES A
GAME.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept Barney
JOY gave eight batters their walking
papers to first base yesterday Enough
said. Eight passes will lose any or
binary game. Barney lost his game,
to 0, and it was lucky that more runs
were not piled up against him. In the
first two innings he pulled himself out
of tight holes. Dillon hunted into a
double play in the initial inning or
there would have been more trouble
for poor Barney There was a man
on third and first and no one gone,
when Dillon popped up to Street, who
winged the ball to first. This helped
Barney for the time being. In the
third inning Barney put himself in an
other hole by walking batters and a
couple of hits sent three men around
the bags This was disastrous. 1t is
possible that Danny Long is feeding
Barney too much work and a rest
would be beneficial. He has been at
it strenuously for several weeks, and
muscular and massive as he is, Barney
can go. stale.

strikes have been off color. More
fault has been found with his decisions
at the plate than on the bags. Dollie
Crap put some beauties over the plate
yesterday which Moore called balls. If
DOllie had had Eli Gates disposition
he would have had hard day of it.
Moore is a new man in fast company,
so there is chance for Improvement,
and it is hoped he will improve. At
any rate President Ewing will give the
new man every opportunity to make
good. In the first inning Frank Dill
Ion essayed to run bluff on Moore
who fined him $40 on Thursday. Ac-
cording to the rules, players must pay
their fines before taking part in an
other game, Just before the bell rang
Moore walked over to where Dillon
was sitting and touched him for the
ten. The hard-fghting captain decIar-

Moore off until after the game. Moth

the Loo-Loo leader that Moore was
serious and he meant business, and
Frank hustled over to the directors

urge, indeed, that the caprices OF silk

these changes. Such a forecast he
