Nhise 10 member of the Georgia rail-
road commission will agree to talk for
publication pending the hearing OF the
Georgia Railway and Power Company's
answer to the commissions order for
detailed information as to its street car

published Interview concerning the
commission and It's alleged attitude to-

Nh. ArkWrisht's statement that the
commission invariably "dGcidcs against

complaints,' is, SO those who haye
watched the progress Of events say, not
borne on, by the facts. On the contrary.
it is contended that four Of the last five

blow ploW, thou Wlntry wind!
Thou art not more unkind
Than mans ingratitude.'
Which is the text of this little sermon.
There lived and worked in Atlanta q
mail clerk. who was a very tender heart
ed man. lie loved the little birds and the
chickens, big and little. and the flowers.
He worked in the mike" department,
where he went at the tragedy Of lost let
tcrs, daily
Day before yesterday there came to his
desk q large package II had been con-
signed TO Canada by an Atlanta woman,
who because she was a woman, did not
heed the parcel post regulations, which
restrict parcel post service to the States
alone, and put a parcel post stamp on
the package. 1t would not be admitted
in the mails, naturally. and was sent to
the mike department until the woman
could be notified.
The tender hearted clerk noticed the
package 1t contained flowers. He knew
that they would wither and fade and that
the woman's purpose would be spoiled, be-
cause it would take maybe some time foI
her to respond to the notice and send the
regulation stamps. Therefore, out Of a
kindly impulse, he put the proper stamps
on the package, on his own account, and
sent it on. The stamps cost him SOME
thing more than 80 cents.
Then he sat down TO write the woman
who had sent the package, telling her OF
what ne had done. advising her TO watch
the little things hereafter, and implying
the hint that so cents. being the price OF
various and sundry delectable things, are
scarce with mail clerks.
Did she bubble over and thank him.
Not she With a letter full of anger she
wrote Postmaster Mckee that this fresh
young man be fired, Immediately and in
continently. She was a woman.
But virtue is it's own reward and its
own insurance policy. The young mail
clerk still works today at his desk in
the mike department, and his heart has
lost none of it's tenderness through the
blighting influence of the ungrateful lady 5
