The Railroad Commissioners Race.
From the Cordele Rambler.
Mr.. Chas Jackson Shipp is the
only candidate from South Georgia;
besides this, there is no member of
the railroad commission from South
Georgia except Mr.. Gray from Sa-
vannah.
This section needs a commissioner
more than any other of the state. 1t
is developing faster, and besides
most of the present railroad rates
have been made up of special rates,
and have never been settled satisfac-
tOrily either to the public or to the
railroads.
Mr.. Shipp has been for some years
a student of these conditions, and if
elected will make determined eff
fort on this line.
Mr.. Shipp also takes the position
that the country press is being dis
eliminated against in the matter of
transportation He believes, and if
elected will urge, that the newspa-
per man should have the right to
exchange space for transportation on
the dollar for dollar basis, without
regard to whom this transportation
is used by.
The newspaper man will have paid
for it, and he alone should decide
who must use it.

When the Saint Forgot Himself
And Why.

And Why.
Such was found the form of worship
That the saint desired to see
How each soul in daily labor
Strove to gain eternity.
Thus he mingled with the people,
AS another person would;
Aped their style of conversation,
Joined the crowd where'r he could.
But his soul was filled with horror
At the brazen things he heard;
Men who worshipped God on Sunday
Used His name to handy words.
Hardly breathed without profaning
Gods pure name and atmosphere,
Till the good mans heart was sick
ened
And he struggled standing there,
Now in horror, now in anger,
Till the storm burst in his breast
For the good man lost his temper
At such brainless wickedness.
He could reason how sinner
Might have strayed for worldly
gain,
But to drown ones soul in curses
Surely was not of the brain.
Then the saint sent down from glory
Felt a pity in his heart;
Whereas men endowed with reason
Now of reason showed no part.

gia newspapers that are now holding
up the negro in an effort to discredit
Mr.. Underwood because he did
not vote against the amendment pro-
viding for the popular election of
United States senators after the Bris-
tow amendment was incorporated
are the very ones which only a
short time ago were using as an
argument why certain men should
be reelected to office that they had
DISTINGUISHED the negro and forever
eliminated him as a political factor.

always answer their own arguments,

The June Woman's Home Compan-
ion contains an article, The Vanish

narily clear explanation of why it is
that men like to get away from wo-
men and enjoy each others society
The main contention in the article is
that men can get along without their
Women-folks but women cannot get
along without the men. 1t is an ar
ticle full of able and at times humor-
Gus observations.
The June Companion also contains
sketch of Princess Pat" of Con-
naught; an account of the recent
dramatiZa ton of Little Women"
a description of what has been done
in New York city toward reducing
the death rate of small children; and
a report of the progress made in this
country toward the accomplishment
of a sane Fourth of July.
Fiction of power, humOr and real
ity is contributed by Owen Oliver,
Kathleen Norris, Virginia Tracy, Jas.

He suggests that it be girt with

senger rates on the Mount Vernon and

A report has recently been in circu-

company contemplated closing the tick
ct offices in Alexandria and in future
to collect fares on trains. This rum
or has caused some uneasiness among
people who avail themselves of the use
of Communication tickets, as they sup
posed they would not be sold in future
and that an additional cost of about
ten cents day would be incurred by
the many Alexandrians employed In

Those in positions to know emphat-
ically deny that any such procedures
are contemplated, and say the offices
will be continued and communication
tickets sold as usual.

BIG STEAMER ARRIVES
Large Tramp Steamer Anchors Off
This Port Yesterday
Evening

The Holland-American steamerCaan
dix, with 100000 Stag brick aboard
for Washington, came up the river
last evening and anchored off the foot
of Wilkes street, where she remained
until inspected by the marine hospl-
tai surgeon, after which she proceeded
to her destination.
The steamer came from the south
eastern coast of England, the only
place in the world where certain var
iety of Stag brick is made.
The Caandijk is one of the largest
foreign steamers which has come up
the Potomac in recent years.
The appearance of large steam
ship in these waters at the present day
attracts considerable attention. A
ship of the dimensions and pattern OF
the tramp would barely have been not
iced during the civil war, when the
stream and docks were crowded with
all types of steam and sailing vessels.
| in those days the Collins Liners At
lantic and Baltic occasionally came
here. The Quaker City, on which
Mark Twain made his Mediterranean
! excursion in the later part of the six
ties, was used as transport in war
times and brought troops to Wash
