that the Georgia Railroad Commits
sion had no jurisdiction over this
charge, that it was an incident to
interstate traffic alone, and a part
of the through rate to points beyond
the limits of the state.
In cur letter we stated that the
railroads contemplated making this
increase soon, and asked the Com
mission to stop it if possible. This
information we afterwards learned
was incorrect. The Central's increase
in the terminal charge became effect
i've Sept. L, 1907. The Seaboard's
October %, and all of the roads had
already increased said charge from
! IL cents per 100 pounds to cents
per 100 pounds, except the Southern,
which became effective about Novem-
Der 9Th. Furthermore, the Georgia
Railroad Commission ON receipt of
our letter, and based on the informa-
ton contained therein, promptly is
sued an order restraining the rail-
roads from making this increase, and
in said order made the terminal
charge then Nov. p in effect the
rates of the Commission, but as be-
fore stated this terminal charge was
part of through rate TO points be-
yond the states limits the order was
therefore ineffective, and even to pre-
vent the increase of the charge by the
road that had not at this time made
it, namely, the Southern railway
subsequently all rail rates on cotton
to the east were increased " cents
per 100 pounds to conform to the
rates through southern Atlantic
ports. The rates, as you see, were
increased not by the Georgia Rail-
road Commission, but Oy the rail-
roads in spite of the efforts of the
Commission to prevent it. Yours

THE TERRELL COUNTY HOKE SMITH CLUB
SENTIMENT FOR GOVERNOR SMITH
POOLING THE PEOPLE.
From the Millen News.


Mr.. Brown and the Macon Tele-
graph, both of whom have always
been prominent and persistent de-
tenders of the railroads and such
other corporations, are now flooding
the state with literature asking the
people to repudiate Governor Smith
for the sake of prosperity" We
have no doubt that their corporation
friends will make it indeed very
profitable for those two if they could
succeed in their efforts against Gov
ernor Smith. But to any reasonable
and thinking person they have offered
absolutely no reason for their cry
Where are your facts and figures?"
The fact of the whole business is
that Mr.. Brown and his friends
thought the panic which begun last
fall and is still on us chance to de-
feat some of the reforms now being
accomplished in Georgia. They expect
to prey upon the natural unrest
created by a panic and attempt to
fool the people by charging it to Gov
ernor Smith.

From the papers it appears th4'
there is candidate running for GOV
ernor who, they say, is invisible. ne
ports are that no one is permitted u
see or talk with him except his stan'
who is debating and writing MS
numerous cards. It seems they keep
him Gagged until the night train goes
out to Marietta to his home. TINS u
the first instance where candidate
for the high Office of Governor was
afraid to appear before the people
and let them see and near
him advocate the principles 10,
which he stands. II electeu
Georgia will have a Governor VIM
Will be incapable of carrying out tne
custom OF former Governors to SPEAK
in the interest of the state on puohc

ready and willing at all times to bat

than 95 per cent of the people are

attitude Of the people came as tho re-
suit of the suggestion of some one at
Columbus last Monday night. The
governor was on TIE verge of conclud-
ing his speech, when a friendly soul
in the balcony leaned forward and
asked that the audience be polled.
The request appealed to the governor.
He polled the house.

and cheered him fewer than six per-
sons in the audience indicated their
purpose to support the opposition
candidate, while over 1000 evidenced
their purpose to support the gov

Three-FOurths Qualified.


Seventy-fve per cent of the $500
people were qualified white voters,
and of these 2,100 citizens mind you
fewer than six indicated their oppo-
sition to the governor. AS many as
fifty persons in the audience could
not have been non-committal, else
their failure to vote would have been
noted.
But in the interest of fairness, let
it be supposed that there were fifty
"non-coms' in the crowd and further
that all will vote for the opposition
candidate. The result of the poll
should be pleasing to friends of the
governor. Here it is:
For the governor, over. 2, 900
For the opposition, fewer than. 100
The sentiment of the magnificent
audience at Macon was even more
pronounced and overwhelming than
at Columbus, yet Bib county is one
of the opposition 'strongholds.
Three thousand people heard the
governors speech. Three-fourths, or
1880 were voters. OF this number
twelve, according to the Macon Tele-
graphs man, were for Joseph M
OlOWn WITCH Tic CdulC
all of the others indicated their pur-
pose to support the governor.

At Swainsboro there were certain

And so it was at Wadley, an over
