of late the feeding has stopped,
and that it is with difficulty that
he keeps his charges from actual
hunger.
In most cities the trouble is to

animals too much, 1t is never

you have any scraps left from the
table remember them when you
go to the park, and your though
fulness will be appreciated.

To Our AGENTS and Friends

To be respected, one must respect himself:
the people among whom we live finally accept
us at about the valuation we place upon our
selves.
The price of each of the JEFFERsoN1ANs is
one dollar year. Neither should ever be Of
fered for less They are we'll worth the
money. We have made them SO, and we mean
to keep them up to standard.
Those agents and friends who "give their
commissions" to secure subscriber, mean we'll
and we appreciate it. but they hurt us.
In the first place, it discourages regular
agents who are working for commissions
In the second place, it gives people poor
opinion of the paper and magazine.
In the third place, it is unjust to the man
who pays full price
You mean well, dear friends, when you try
to increase our circulation by giving your
commission to the subscriber and letting him
have the paper or magazine at SO cents, but
in the end the effect is injurious. Please
quit it.

Hang Them ,, Said Rmtledge

Our friend j. r. Norman of Abba, Iowa,
sends us marked copy of the Monroe Coun-
ty (Iowa) Nea0s.
One of the items which he wished us to see
is an account of how Judge Scott, of 'the
municipal court" of Monroe, sent a laboring
man to jail because he refused to pay a debt.
The American Trust and Savings Bank
sued Austin P. McInnery, a plumber, in
Judge SCOTS court, and recovered iudg-
ment for $50. This amount the defendant de-
clined to pay because, as he declared, he did
not owe it. Whereupon, the Judge held that
the plumber was in contempt of court, and
sent him to Jail He is in the Jug at this
writing and will remain there six months
unless he lnuclzles to the Trust and pays
the $50.
In the meantime, the Sugar Trust thieves
are going about their affairs as usual, never
having been so much as arrested and put un-
der bond; and the whole country is anxiously
concerned for the health of E. III. Hartman,
one of the grandest rascals that the world
ever saw.
The other marked item in the NeqOs is a
brief card which we reproduce

The Eminent Domain Bill

ne END1NGNT OON2U2N B1LE
CD What is the meaning of Eminent Do
main?
When the State exercises the sovereign pre-
rogative of taking private property for public
purposes, it is said to exercise the right of
Eminent Domain. That is, the State, which
was the original owner and source of title
takes back what she granted, asserting for the
public a right which overrides the title and
the rights Of the Individual.
Thus, the city condemns private property
for streets: the county does the same thing for
public roads. In like manner, private houses
may be destroyed to prevent the spread of
fire, etc.
You can see at once what tremendous
power this is, and how great is the danger of
it's being abused.
~ Railroad corporations have never rel
lshed the idea Of having to acquire realty as
you and l and plain John Smith have to do
They dearly love the "hold up", when they are
using 1t on the town, the city, the industry, or
the individual, but they bitterly oppose the
mere suggestion that they take little of their
own medicine.
How heartless is the arrogance with which
they have treated the melon raiser, the fruit
groeoer, the small shipper generally!
How insolent have been the Milton Smiths
W1lO3 W1lSIl UOIOIO u tennessee IL.
r. Commission, would send the contemptuous
answer, "If the Commission has o9oy business
aolM me, 1t ho0a0s aohe1e mig office is.''
How ruthless they have been in their reor-
ganlzation schemes, -beggaring the original
stockholders, and putting some thirty-t5ou-
s0''d-do1la1' man, like Hanson Of the Central,
to heep things quiet aOAize the moercizess eu-
pt0itatl0m Of the people aOent on!
How reckless of human life they have been.
in replacing white men with the inferior ne
gro, as Messrs. Scott and Brand of the Geor-
gia Railroad did, and then trying to hare
Yankee soldiers sent doaom here to fight for the
negroes!
How quick of trigger they have been to
drag the State into the inferior Federal
courts, a0here she ought mever to 90, and
HAVE HER FORBIDDEN TO ENFORCE
HER Ia VS.
Right now, the State of Georgia is shaclzled
by one of these Federal Court ORDERS The
Railroad Commission decided that ten per
cent. reduction OF freight rates would be equi-
table and just; the corporations were ordered
to change their rates accordingly: instead of
obeying the law, as the rest of us have to do.
these Wall Street corporations dragged the
State into lower Federal Court, and the
Judge thereof muzzi6ed the zaqo of the Conn.,
mission, thus bringing the State into state of
paralysis and humiliation.

are you not astounded to learn that the dis

tlngu1Sned railroad lawyer, Judge John i.
Hall of Macon, could get Senator Rutherford
of the 22nd, to Introduce into the Legislature
bill which not only reinvests every corpora
ton Of this State with it's original power to
snatch private property for p4'iv0te use, but
enormously extends that tremendously dan
gerous prerogatlve!
Is it not almost incredible that such a meas
ure should slip through the Senate aoithout
attracting the attention of the Atzaqat0 dadles?
And should pass without any considerable de-
bate? And should receive the vote of nearly
every Senator? And should come mighty
nigh" slipping through the House?
It IS almost incredible.
az Why should the State in any case, en-
act an Omnibus zaa0 like that?
IF the Georgia Railroad needs more land
between Augusta and Atlanta, or within eth
er city, let the Georgia Railroad come up, and
moabe out its 0aom case. If the people are alive
to their interests, they a0i aever grant TO the
Georgia Railroad any additional favor or
poorer, until that corporation (oaoned and con-
hozzed by the NorthI J surrenders that evenep-
ton from tan0tion q01tich oar foref0thers too
generously granted. A renewal of it's exhaust
ed power to condemn private property would
be worth million dollars to that road why

In SO many ways that it's policy is keyed to
the Wall Street motto of "the public be
dananed"?
So with the Central if it wants 'MORE",
let 1t make out its own case. So with the
Georgia Southern and Florida Railroad: if it
needs something that it has not already
snatched, let it come up and tell us about it.
Let every tub stand on its oa0aa bottom.
(5) These Omnibus bills are too dog gone
dangerous. You never can tell what sort of
passengers will get in, or where they will go.
What an innocent look that "spur track"
feature wears In the Eminent Domain bill
"Spur track!'' What does that mean, be-
loved?
Why, some fellow has got big saw mill
few miles off the railroad, and he doesn't want
to come to the owners of the land that lies be-
tween him and IL, railroad, and give the own
ers their price for the right of way for a
tram. He sees the big corporations con-
demning property for dam sites, and pond

So with the fellow who owns a big orchard,

They want to get private property for pri-

they can do it

as that on the statute books?

no man could ever hereafter build a home and

some other man would not virtually ruin both
