Railroads Abandon the Minimum
Two-Cent-a Mile Excursion Rate =
Railroad News.

The 2-cent minimum summer ex-
cruslon rate has been abandoned APP
parenty by Central Passenger asso-
citation lines, also by western roads.
This follows a special meeting of
representatives held at Chicago this
week.
The action probably means that the
N. Il. A. convention TO be held here
this year will be given a rate be-
low 2 cents a mile probably a rate
on some basis like a fare and a half
for the round trip. The b. Y. p.
U. convention and various other
assemblages over the country may
share equally well as result of the
reported drawing away from the flat
2-cent rate on excursion purposes.
The only application Of the less
than 2-cent-a-milc rate, so far. Is to
summer tourist business. which rate
clerks are now in Chicago figuring
up. The return to the low basis Is
understood TO have taken place
when certain roads gave notice
that they would not abide by any
agreement to hold rates up this sum-
mer.
1t has been a much mooted qucs-
tion, this matter Of summer tourist
fares, whether they should be higher
or lower than the straight 2-cent-a-
mile basis. It has ben concluded
apparently by officials that the pub
lie generally should not be deprived
or rates In summer months lust be-
icause of 2-cent ware. The action Is
believed TO reflect a broad viewpoint
on the situation so far as the rail-
roads are concerned. They could
have maintained the position that no
rate lower than 2 cents would he
granted, even for big excursions. that
rate having been settled uoon by the
peoples choice of representatives.

TWO OF THE yETOES.

Governor Smith used the veto
pretty freely on the measures passed
by the Legislature, among the most
important which received his disap-
proyal being the bill extending the
school book contract two years, and
the one modifying the anti-pass rule
so that policemen and fremen might
ride free on street cars. In both of
these vetoes The News believes the
governor was right There was
no necessity for extending the
school book contract beyond the
five years for which it was origi-
nally made. The measure was
obviously in the interest of the
school book concerns which hold the
present contracts, and no good rea-
son has vet been advanced why they
should have the benefit of an ex-
tension of two years beyond the ex-
piration Of their contracts in which
to supply books to the school chill
dren Of Georgia without submitting
competitive bids. AS to the other
veto, we do not know of anything
that would justify a modification Of
the anti-pass rule

\ DAWSON MAN BUILDS A BOAT.

The many friends Of Mr.. Frank
p. Allen, who was reared in Dawson
and was in business here many
years, will read with interest the fol-
lowing from a recent issue of the
TT. Gaines Sentinel:
quite a crowd gathered at the
sandbar above the bridge last Mon
day afternoon to witness the chris
tening and launching of the naptha
launch owned by Messrs Greene and
McRae In a most charming and
graceful manner Miss Lizzie Day
broke a bottle Of champagne over
the bow of the trim little boat, and
christened it "Elizabeth," and in a
few we'll chosen words wished it
good luck and God-speed.
The Elizabeth was built by Mr.
F. P. Allen of this city, and reflects
great credit upon his skill 1t meas

in width, and carries a Gray motor

ever seen on this river, and its own
ers are fully justified in feeling very
proud Of it,"

THE TREATMENT OF CONVICTs.

The News recently noted that since
the convict scandal came up the
Laurens county authorities are Civ
ing their changing three hours for
dinner, and added that if this thing
keeps up the changing may yet be
come a place for rest and recreation.
Wherefore the Dublin Times ups and
says:
The convict scandal had moth
ing to do with the concessions
made to the Laurens county con-
yicts. The extra hour was given
simply as a matter of justice.
The conyicts are put to work as
soon as they can see in the
morning. and kept at it until
ate in the evening. The hour
lost at noon is doubtless made
up in the increased efficiency of
the men. The cOnvicts Of this
county are we'll treated, as far
as the Times information goes.
They are made to work, and to
work hard, but they are treated

Not all of the other counties, es-

county camp, so far as newspaper re
ports show, was the only one
praised before the recent investigat-
ing committee by the legislators who
had visited and inspected the various
camps in the state And there was
complaint, even, by the committee
of the extremely lax and kind manner
in which the convicts in our neigh
boring county of Randolph were
managed, it being declared that they
we're too we'll treated, and were be-
ing worked side by side with free
labor, all apparently on the same

Dawson Could DO Likewise

Hope, Ind, observed a "clean up"
day a short time ago, and an enter
prising poet was moved to write the
following:
Let us, then, be up and doing,
Each one with bar of soap
Still achieving, still pursuing
Make a spotless town of Hope
And that's what they did. The
residents of the place certainly made
Hope a spotless town, and there is a
reward Of s. in gold for the smallest
piece of dirt to be found inside the
corporate limits.
The town board decided that June
18th. should be clean up day. No
tees were posted, and the town mar
shall went around and notified every
body. The board of health got busy,
and when the sun arose on Thursday
morning brigades of cleaners were at
work. 1t became the duty of every
person to clean up his own premises
and to pile the garbage and trash in
the streets in front of his house. The
town furnished wagons to make the
rounds and haul the trash away
Other men were employed to clean
the streets, and by evening every
thing was spick and span. Now the
people of Hope intend to keep their
town that way.
