NOTABLE DECISION WON
IN RECENT RATE CASE
Anercus Should Profit By the Principle Involved In the
Case Merchants Here Are Paying Heavy FREIGHT
Rates Now From Reports Made

What is regarded locally as one OF
-ba most important decisions in re-
card 10 freight rates that has been
made by the Georgia railroad COM
mission in it's entire history was that
made recently whereby Richland,
Georgia. gained the fight which its
hoard of trade had made for reduced
rates on the ground that Richland was
=, connective point" and thereby en-
titled to reduced rates accordingly.
# was pointed out here yesterday
that Americus should seek to profit
nv the experience of Richland, which
won every demand it made from
commission with regard to the reduc
ton of its freight rates. Messrs. J.
f. D. Shipp and J. E. Sheppard were
the legal representatives of the Rich
land Board of Trade, and they were
roundlv congratulated yesterday for
their victory in this important case
The decision is a far-reaching one
in many particulars and it serves to
make all places competitive points
that have as many as three railroads
passing through them. This makes
Richland a wholesale market town
and gives it a good advantage over
many places of much larger size. The
securing of the proposed new railroad
tor Americus suggested itself at once
to many citizens here as wise thing
for Americus to do in order to profit
in a rate reduction, as rates here are
much higher than those to Dawson,
for instance.
In regard to the application of the
decision to the interests of Americus,
Mr.. Shipp, who was one of the prin-
cipal factors in bringing the case to
q successful conclusion before the rail-
road commission, said "Americus is

sadly in need of some good work
being done in this particular. For in
stance, wagons from Atlanta to Daw-
son are carried at a cost of S3S per
car load, from the same place to
Americas at a cost of $46 per car
load. Agricultural implements of all
kinds are carried from Atlanta to
Dawson at $38 per car load, while the
cost to Americus merchants in freight
on such implements is $46
The only reason that can be given
for this is that the dealers in agrl-
cultural implements on the Board of
Trade have never laid their cases be-
fore the railroad commission like
plucky little Richland has done. Ev-
cry one must admire the spunk, ener-
gy and aggressiveness displayed by
the staunch business men of Richland
in contending for their rights. What
that city wanted was equality and
it has obtained by the hard fought
battle and long drawn out lawsuit just
exactly what it set out to gain.
This decision is the most far-reach-
ing and most effective one ever made
by the railroad commission in any
case. 1t will ever stand as a prece-
dent to mark the good effect and bene-
ficial ruling of the wise commission
that is fully performing its duties un-
der the laws of Georgia Never yet
in all the cases before the railroad
commission has that body so clearly
enunciated the doctrine of equality
against unjust determinations. Tele-
grams received today by business men
of Americus from Richland merchants
show that that little city is on the
lookout and greatly rejoicing that it is
no longer under the thraldom of un-
just and discriminating freight rates

Consolidate the Fairs.
UuIo FeIy u UIyJ
ALFRED JOHNSON.
Miami, Florida.

Speaking of State fairs reminds me of
the recent controversy over dates, and
this surely adds emphasis to the call for
a consolidation of our State fairs and the
massing of appropriations now scattered.
The first step suggested is that power be
given the commissioner of agriculture to
withhold all stipend from any society fix
ing its dates to conflict with another So
ciety. Maine is today burdened by agri-
cultural exhibitions. Instead of further
increase, there is demand for consolida-
ton. When that step is taken, our an
.nual fairs will exert more powerful
influence for agricultural advancement.

white sandy bottom or the coral neauS at
a depth of 60 feet under the ship.
The islands of this group are, judge,
practically table land, or plateaux, on the
tops of mountains whose sides are very
steep; for instance, the water just out
side the bar of Nassau harbor is mile
deep. and a captain l met here told me
he had anchored sponging schooner at
Abaco with her anchor in four fathoms
and that over her stern he could not get
bottom with a hundred fathom line.
Approaching Nassau harbor one makes
Hog Island Light, better known as Mas
sau Light. This burns fixed white ordi-
narily, but is changed to red when the
bar is considered impossible, and the
warning thus given for ships to keep out
is generally regarded implicitly by
strangers and natives alike. AS the
keeper told me, "when she's burnin' red
all them what's out is out, and them
what's in is in" But Capt. White has
been over it so often that he has learned
to time the seas that are likely to break,
watch in hand, and in ten years has only
stayed out once in spite OF frequent
warnings by the red light being burned
for his especial benefit. He has, from
long practice, acquired the knack OF
shooting his ship in on the third wave,
that is not likely to break hard at last,
easily and safely. This requires quick
and determined work, however, with
himself at the wheel, as the harbor ii

Hubble was one of the most promi-

WANT TO SAVE TREES
Some Property Owners Object TO
Removal for Sidewalks.

Considerable opposition developed
to the plan of having the trees cut
down in town where new concrete
paving is to be laid, at the regular
meeting of the City Council last
Thursday night. DIR. J. A. Peyton,
J. A. Allen and others we're before
the city fathers protesting against
the destruction of the beautiful
shade trees which adorn the edge
of the sidewalk in front of their res
licences on East Main street. DR..
Peyton offered to allow the side
walk laid several inches over on his
property in order to save the trees,
and Mr.. Allen also saved the trees
in front of his home.
There was considerable argument
over the advantage of cutting down
the trees. Councilman Rout explain
ed that the overhanging limbs did
much damage to the electric light
wires, and other causes were as
signed why they should be removed.
Many of the citizens have insisted.
however, that the beauty of the thor
oughfares will be greatly marred by
destruction of the shade trees, but
thev will be cut out. except in the
few cases where the property own
ers have made personal pleas to
save them. or want to take the mat
ter into the courts.
