ground, since the cars were needed
for better paying freight This year
the emptiness of the cars is trans
formed into the fullness of New
Workers peach crates and the farm
ers' pockets.
This is no slight thing to be true
even Of peaches alone, but it is equal
ly true of everything which goes on
wheels. Last year our agricultural
exports were small in part because
the railways could not carry them
This year the railways can carry any
thing, and the more they get to carry
the better for producers and consum-
ers alike. Easy communications may
corrupt good monners, but they are
the life of trade, in a better sense
than competition. The jingle of the
busy dollar is loudest when the rail
way wheels are rolling, and this yeal
there is no lack of what will set
them rolling, whatever the politicians
may do

Commission Too Costly

The present Railroad Commission
of Georgia has proven very costly and
with the state tax rate up to the
limit and revenues cut off it will be
it is stated, the policy of the new
administration to reduce the actua
expenses of the state government as
much as possible. 1t is estimated that
the present commission will have
cost the state in the neighborhood oil
$35, 900 during the year and no one
has, as yet, been able to point out
why this sum should continue to be
expended
Since Mr. Brown was formerly 3
member of the Railroad Commission
be is in a position to be able tC
know it's needs and necessities better
than any who has sat in the
Governors chair since the Railroad
Commission was first organized.

How this will be arranged is &
matter of conjecture. One of Mr.
Browns advisors in talking over this
matter said: 1T may be possible
that the entire commission will be
abolished and a new commission Great

hat the powers of the commits
sion will be limited there seems to
be no doubt Mr.. Brown believes in
regulating railroads, but no one be-
lieyes that he believes in such abso-
lutte control of all public utilities as
the present law prescribes. This
subject will doubtless be handled gin
gerly by Mr.. Brown in his opening
message to the General Assembly"
The street car and other municipal
corporations, it is believed, will be
left beyond the pale of the commits

to the municipal governments in

left free as they were before.

Plenty of Peaches
New York TimpS.l

It's an i'll wind that blows nobody
good, and at last some benefit is
promised from the idleness of al
most 100000 freight cars. The rail
ways may have some hundreds OF
millions of dollars eating their heads
off because invested in unused facili-
ties, but we shall have more peaches
to eat because of the fact. The peach
crop is worthy to rank with all the
other good things of the year, but Sc
it was last year, and yet peaches were
scarce where they would have done
the most good. That was because
last year the fruit rotted on the

If, when bathing, you will put a

hot water, it is very cleansing and
