The first application Of the new
law which requires a Georgia corpora
ton to obtain the sanction of the rail-
road commission before it can issue
additional stocks or bonds occurred
Friday when the Atlanta Telephone
and Telegraph company argued its pc
tition for permission to Aoat $4,000,
600 bond issue.
Heretofore all stocks and bonds is
sued by Georgia corporations have at
least had the prima facie sanction oil
the state. In future such issues will
not only have the approval OF the
state through it's railroad commission
but the fact that corporation has
permission that back of such issue
there exists actual value. The commits
sion will, in no instance, approve q
bond or stock issue until by painstak
ing and thorough investigation it has
satisfied itself that the applicant is
entitled to such approval.

A. q M. ?. withdraws Motion.

The Atlanta and West Point rail
road has Withdrawn its motion pending
before Judge w. D. Ellis of the Fulton
superior court, asking for a temporary
injunction restraining the state rail
road commission from enforcing it's
order reducing passenger rates within
the state and the case Of the petition
ing road will now take its regular
place on the docket, coming up for
final adjudication in from twelve to
eighteen months.
This for the time being, takes the
fight of the railroad out of the state
courts. and is taken to mean that the
Atlanta and West Point railroad will
comply with the order of the state
railroad commission, reducing passen-
ger rates pending final settlement of
the case.

Tuesday, October 1st, the Pure Food
Law of Georgia, which went into effect
on August 1st, but inspection on which
was temporarily suspended by Com
missioner Of Agriculture T. G. Hudson,
became rigidly operative and will be
strictly enforced.
Out of difference to the country mer-
chants of the state who were heavily

which come under the registration
clause of this law, the department saw
at to put off the inspection until the
last named date.
1t is required by the department
that all foods and feed stuffs shall be
registered and the contents plainly
printed, the foods tagged and on each
tag there shall be placed an inspec-
ton stamp and the food or feed stuffs
analysed by the department.
In special order Commissioner
Hudson calls attention to that great
cattle feed, cotton seed meal, and
states that to be classed as legal
meal, it must contain 1852 per cent
protein, and if it falls below that
standard, it will be known as mixed
feed and registered as such
Under section II of the Pure Food
law, it is the duty of sheriffs to seize
and sell at public outcry all foods and
feed stuffs not properly registered
Already $4,000 worth Of pure food
stamps have been sold by the agricul
turai department.

ton Of the petitions Of citizens from
various towns of the state, in which it
was requested that the telegraph com.
panies be forced to furnish service at
these towns, their Offices having been
closed since the strike of the opera

In view of the fact that there was
no challenge of the claim of the tele-

Cotton interview condemned.

At the recent meeting Of the Epson
County Farmers Union at Thomaston
a strong protest was made against an
interview recently published in the At
lanta Journal, placing the cotton crop
in Georgia at 100000 bales. The
resolutions passed were as follows:
Whereas, Governor Hoke Smith and
others, in a recent interview given to
the Atlanta Journal, place the cotton
crop of the state of Georgia at two
million bales for the year 1907 and,
Whereas, recognizing that estimate
is wholly untrue from the present out
look and what we can learn from a.
sources, we, thes Farmers Union of
Epson county, in called meeting as
sembled, do hereby
Resolve, That we strongly condemn
this method used to lower the price Of
cotton by making it appear that the
state will yield fully 100000 more bales
than it is possible for her to yield this
year, and words of censure are not
too strong towards those who use such
unfair methods against the farmers of
the state.
BE it further resolved, That we
heartily endorse the position taken by
our state president, Hon. R. F. Duck
worth, in his recent interviews pub
lished in several Of the daily papers
Of the state crfticising the action of
these gentlemen"
Several other county unions have
taken similar action.

Mr.. Porter said that NJ. A. Low, a
prominent railway official. who is
connected with the Rock Island sys-

however.
Senator Porter expects to remain in
Europe for a period of four or five
weeks. He will visit in London, Paris

New York, Sept. 20.-Even if the navy

need have no fear of their homes in
case of an attack by warships of a hos
tile country according to Major Gen
eral Frederick D. Grant. commanding
the department of the east While
General Grant declines to make any
comparisons between the work Of the
navy and army gunners in the forts, he
did say this:
Il am convinced that the gunners
in the forts in my department can shoot
so well that they can put warshipS
out of action fully as fast as they can
come up against them
Considerable discussion has been en-
gendered between army and navy men
over the quality of marksmenship dis
played in each branch of the service
General Grant said he was glad the
navy gunners were such good marks
men, but army craftsmanship had al
ways been one of his hobbies

REPLIES TO DRENNING.
Geo. Lerrigo Says Ministers Have Paid
Their Individual Pledges.

To the Topeka State Journal
A false impression seems to exist in
the minds of some people concerning
the position of the ministers in rela-
ton to their gifts to the Young Mems
Christian association building.
In justice to the individual ministers
Of the city it is only fair that the pub
lie should know that when the pledges
were being obtained for the building
the ministers of the city subscribed in
proportion as literally as any other of
our citizens, and more than that, ev-
cry minister has paid his personal
pledge, so that there is nothing out
standing against them personally. But
the Ministerial union felt that, as an
organization. it could further aid the
association project through undertak-
ing, as a body. to raise. by giving lee
lures and entertainments, the sum of
$4,000, and it is for the purpose of
discharging this obligation that the
ministers are now laboring.
1t is sufficient to say that the class
of entertainme ents which the ministers
propose to furnish for this purpose,
are always worth more than the price
which they have asked for them and
it is as legitimate for them to raise
money by this method as for anyone
else to be in the entertainment busi-
ness
This is the second time that the
Rev. Chas. NJ. Sheldon has aided the
Ministerial union in this matter by
contributing his services at a lecture
and his lecture this evening on the
conditions as he found them in the
peculiar interest to the people of To-
peka.

'I think the dividend was s14,304,-
