A LAW SUSTAINED THAT. PRO.
TECTS SHIPPERS.

No recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court has awakened
more favorable comment in Georgia
than the one recently handed down so
fully endorsing Judge Emory Speer, Of
this district, in his attitude toward the
act of Congress placing upon the in
itial carrier the full responsibility for
the loss or damage of goods consigned
to its care and by it transferred to
other carriers.
One can readily appreciate the value
of this final decision to the shippers
of the country, especially to those
handling goods in a minor way and
unable to stand the expense of a
prolonged suit against series 81
transportation lines to fix the re-
sponsibility for damages sustained
through the carelessness of some one
or more of them in the handling OF
goods entrusted to their care.
AS Judge Speer said in his opinion
which the Supreme Court made its
opinion;
by the Act of Congress the ship
per is afforded an inexpensive and
convenient tribunal in which to seek
enforcement of his rights. When we
consider the great extension of rail
road connection, and the thousands OF
miles of distance which they compre-
bend, in the absence of this provision
how helpless would be a shipper here
If he should attempt to ship his pro-
ducts to the Pacific. coast, and they
should be injured, or lost, for instance
on the Oregon Short Line The rail
roads have every facility for DERIVING
all the information in regard to the
claim They daily settle and determ-
Inc thousands of claims between them
selves Where there is a controversy
between a single individual and MANY
corporations, with such power and
such opportunities, how hopeless is
he who is compelled to go to foreign
jurisdiction, when the railroad fare
there might more than Offset his
profits,
Congress has acted wisely. Ii has
brought the courts to the door of the
shipper 1t has bent listening ear
and heard his complaints. He is af-
t0rded the necessary protection of the
law, speedy and cheap trial
To my mind it is amazing that our
government had so long failed to on.
act this law. | differ toto eoalo with
my gifted friend, Judge Lamar, and

Judge Lamar, now a justice of the
Supreme Court, represented the rail
roads in the hearing OF the case out
of which this opinion arose and at
tackled the constitutionality of the
Carmack Act, The right of shippers to
claim damages from the initial car

ALBANY NOW HAS
2G NEAR BEER JOINTS
And More Applications For Licenses
Are Expected.
(Albany Herald.)

CAlbany Herald)
Therewill be more near-beer saloons
in Albany this year than there were
last
This Notwithstanding the fact that
tn elicense tax is twice as much as
it was last year-$1OO instead of
$50.
Already the city has taken in 49,
200 in rear-beer licenses, compared
with only $1,000 received from this
sourcA last year.
Who says selling near-beer is not
profitable business? OF course. not
all near-beer dealers confine them
selves to nearbeer. Some sell gro
ceries, cigars, tobacco, and-well,
other things.
Last year twentyone near-beer
licenses were issued-2O at $50 and
ore, Wholesale, at $500.
This year twenty-six near-beer
Licensees have already been issued

No CHANGE in LIQUOR CONDE
TI0NS LIKELY.

Judging from the reports in some OF
the Georgia newspapers the impress
sion is taking ground that the liquor
interests are preparing for a battle tc
re-establish the open sale of whiskey
in the state.
Numerous incidents are cited as
tending to prove the correctness ot
this theory.
While the incidents referred TO may
be accurate, and may protray the
hopefulness of some liquor dealers
that before long they will be in pc.
sition to do business openly through.
out the state, there is no real reason
to believe that the next legislature vii
alter the law as it now stands on the
statute book.
There is the usual talk, of course
about the Senate being controlled by
the liquor people, and all that sort D
stuff that has been current so many
times in recent years, but when the
scratch comes it is hardly probable
that the majority of the senate vii
be found standing anywhere than il
favor of the maintenance of the law al
it now exists.
1t is quite likely that the liquor IN
terests will exert their influence moe
to the preservation of the status quo
than to securing any modification o
the law in their favor.
The anti-salOon league is committed
to a campaign against the continued
licensing of places to sell near-beel
in the cities of over 5000 population
The liquor interests, and the enc
mics generally of such a prohibitivc
law as is contemplated, will have then
hands full preventing such an altera
ton of the statute without seeking tC
modify it in favor of the sale of whis
key or any broadening of the freedom
accorded the liquor interests.
Georgia will probably have to con
tinue to order its whisky and wines Il
great extent from Jacksonville anC
other points outside Of the state while
beer will be sold openly in all the
larger cities under the guise of {
near-beer license.
This is the existing statutus in the
state and this it will probably con
tinue to be for some years to come.
Neither the anti-saloon league MOI
the liquor interests will probably be
able to summon sufficient voting
strength to alter conditions as they
now are.

City Solicitor Northup was asked by

The city attorney pronounced the
patrol to have been intended originally
for police and ambulance business. and
that Of the superintendent CT depart
ment under which the patrol" was con-
trolled thought it was for the better
ment Of the department to restrict its
use, he thought such superintendent
had the right to make an order to that
effect. But, in making any order, the
was acting as an agent
Of the council, and his act would be
subject to review or approval by the
council
To Chief Kirby, Of the fire depart
ment, who had asked for an opinion,
the city attorney gave it as his view
that, in view Of the order made. pro-
viding it was not violation OF law,
the chief must obey the rules set out
by the superintendent of the department
in which he was employed.
Any order Of the council however,
revoking the order of the department
superintendent, would be binding, the
attorney declared.

For general household cleaning, soap
in powder form is more economical and
efficient than in the bar. Gold Dust,
one of the first powders-and still the
best-can be used more economically
than soap, because the quantity desired
can be measured out and no more used.
In using soap in the cake there is waste,
more being used than is really needed !;
the rest of the cake is water-soaked,
causing the soap to lose its goodness.
Moreover, Gold Dust contains other
ingredients, which soften the hardest
water and allow the soap to do its work
with little rubbing.
