THE GOVERNMENT AND TIE COR
gt POI,ATIONS.
There is no occasion for the volley
OF questions which the News Leader
fires at The Times Dispatch con-
corning its attitude toward the
reg ulation of corporations. The
Times Dispatch has not been silent on
this subject 1t has repeatedly de-
manded that all corporations under
suspicion should be investigated and
when caught breaking the laws Of the
land, that they should be punished,
not merely as a corporation, but that
the persons responsible for the infrac-
ton should be called to personal ac-
as individuals. We have denounced re-
bates, discrimination and all other
unlawful practices, and We have in
sisted that the railroads should be
made to live up to all their charter
requirements We have ever held that
the RAILROADS arc quas-public corpora
ticns, and that they should be required
by law to serve the public interest by
furnishing safe and convenient trans
portation, without discrimination for
Or against individuals or communities.
And that is our position today.
No honestly managed corporation
fears such regulations of law. No
honestly managed corporation can
fairly complain Of them If the
fregulations Of law had stopped
at tile limitations named, the stocks
and bonds of law-ablding railroad cor
porations would not have been de-
pressed in price by legislation The
Injury was done by the rate laws Pru-
dent men are reluctant to invest their
= money in a concern whose charges for
service are determined, not by the
management, hut by officers OF govern
n1ent who may be ,tme-serv ing politi-
clans, seelsing.public favors, ana whose
Judgment may be swayed by popular
clamor.
The power of the government to fix
rates is conceded, but the demoraliza-
ton in the railroad world to-day shows
tho folly of such policy. The
reduction IN rates has been Of
Z trlfing benefit to the general pub
lie. But the agitation has brought
unrest and disturbance through
out the whole country and caused a
shrinkage in the value of rail-
road securities that has distressed

years at hard labor in the Federal
penitentiary for embezzling $4,000

COTTON NEWS OF INTEREST
What is Going on In Realms of the fIeeCy
Kind.

II Americus cotton buyers readily paid
Is 3-S cents-almost 13 1-2-for the
finer grades yesterday, and were very
glad to get the best cotton, even at
that top-notch price. Any good
grade brought 13 cents, while 13 IA
was about the average price paid ia
this market during the day.
Prices are still on the rise and the
bears are on the run.
Hot weather and drouth combine
to put up prices, and the more enthu-
siastic among the local trade can read
lily see 15c ahead without the use of
spectacles.
Cotton rolled freely into Americus
warehouses yesterday, despite the
fact that farmers generally are bend
ing every energy to get it picked out
this week Friday and Saturday will
see a rush of the bales in this direc-
ton. Farmers here are readily ac-
cepting current high prices. Thir-
teen cents looked good to them last
week, and now that $3.50 has been
added to the selling price of each
bale they are letting the tieecy go.
The Times Recorders estimate of
1900 bales marketed here this week
alone will be verified.

Crop Short in Texas.

A Texan in Americus yesterday
talking with number of cotton men,
said the cotton situation in his state
was far from good. Drouth is ruin
ing the crop and, to use his own
expression "the fields are ready to
blaze"
Mr.. Charles L. Ansley, who has
just returned to Americus from New
York, where he met numbers of Texas
merchants buying goods, states that
they told him the same story of
crops suffering from drouth.
However, they told him, if good
rains came even by September 18th,
there will be a fair crop.
