$27,OOO,OOO ADVANCE IN
RAILROAD Rates DENIED
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Says Not

Washington, Feb. 24-The Interstate
Commerce Commission today decided
against the railroads in both the
eastern" and the westerns rate
cases. The decision was eagerly ex-
pected by roads and shippers alike
and caused no surprise when hand Il
down.
The proposed advances in classif-
cation freight rates, aggregating
among all the railways in the terrific
ry approximately $270O0,OOO annually
were disapproved by the commission
In the case involving the increases
by railroads in the Western trunk Lae
territory, the commission declined to
approve the proposed advances in
commodity rates.
The carriers in both classes are re-
quired to cancel on or before March
10 their advanced tariffs and restore
their former rates which are the rates
now in effect. If this requirement is
not complied with, the commission will
issue a formal order suspending the
proposed advances and putting into
effect the existing rates for at least
two years.

MAKE STATE-W wide
ROADS, SAYS BROWN
Portion of COnViCtS Should
Be Used That Way

Atlanta, Ga, February 24.-The gov
ernor believes that the state convict
law should be so amended that each
county working the convicts shall be
required to work good percentage
of them on the roads leading from
the county site to the sites of adjoin-
ing counties, thus affording splendid
public roads leading from end to end
and from side to side of the entire
state
In many counties, the governor
points out, this kind Of work is now
being done, but he believes that it
should be required in all of the coun-
ties, and in a discussion of the ques-
ton he shows the splendid results that
would follow the employment of such
system
The interest of the people of the
entire state should be at least meas
urably held in view in the working of
the state convicts on the county roads
said Governor Brown.
CAS- the law now stands, the con-
victs are furnished to the counties
without charge by the state, with the
requirement that they shall be wor K
ed upon the public roads. Each coun-
ty, however, working convicts is to a
great extent left free to control the
details as well as the general policy
Of this work. In some counties they
arc putting the main roads in fine con-
clifton and confning the work mainly
TO them. In others, from reports l
get, they are using the convicts more
for local roads than for those which
connect county with county"

PEACH CROP is KILLED
In OPINION OF MANY
-Four Days Of Ice Too Much
for EIbGPta

Four days of ice and frost has
proved entirely too much for the peach
buds in their recent state, and the
concensus of opinion now is that from
one-half to two-thirds of the crop in
orchards about Americus have sue
cumbed to the freeze and will drop off
shortly.
This verdict over the bier of liberia
was reached yesterday.
The blizzard was more severe than
the buds could withstand, and the
crop will be cut short accordingly,
even if it is not cut off almost entirely.
1t was hoped until yesterday, and
information to that effect was given
out by the peach growers here, that
results We're not so bad, and that a
full crop seemed assured. But the
killing frosts yesterday and the day
before changed the situation to one Of
deep Opaque gloom.
Frost sounded the death knell Of
the peach crop here.
Mr.. N, A. Ray, of the Bagley-Ray
Orchard Co., expresses the belief that
the peach crop has been reduced at
least one-half already, and he is not
entirely sanguine regarding the buds
seemingly unhurt, as many of these
may drop from the trees later, or even
after the peaches have attained some
size.
Oftimes after reaching the size Of
birds eggs, the young fruit has drop
ped from the trees as the result of
previous freezing weather.
Mr.. Ray still hopes, however, that
there will be at least good part
of a peach crop this year.
The same adverse conditions prevail
in the other big peach orchards here.
However, the growers are not dis
heartened, as they feel assured that a
half crop at good prices would yielh
them better cash return than would a
bumper crop at lower prices, as was
the case last year.
If the peach crop is really Destroy
ed, as now seems quite certain, it
will mean the loss of millions of dol
lars to Georgia growers.
