time for the Democrats to enjoy the
patronage"
Levi Reeves, who talks politics from
one end of Georgia to the other, the
while he practices the gentle art of
commercial travelling. recently had
sad run in" in Alabama with an in
dividual he likely will not forget soon.
Reeves was dining, wisely and well,
with a party of gentlemen in Montgom-
cry, and incidentally the talk turned
to hunting. Reeves is some hunter
believe him!-an he soon had the talk
all running in his direction.
Eventually Reeves stated that just
few days before, in one of the lower
counties of the state. he had killed 1913
quail in one day. Amid the GREATNESS
silence that followed, the large, white
mustached, distinguished looking gen.
tleman, sitting calmly at the next ia
Bile, arose and walked over to Reeves.
II apprehend sir" he said, gently, that
you do not know who / am. For your
information, | will say that l am the
game warden of this state, and your
engaging recitals of gross violations Of
the game laws have interested me ex-
ceedingly!"
Reeves never batted an eye. He arose
politely, and replied: And I appre
bend, sir, that you do not know who
am For your information, will say
that I am VIGOROUSLY the biggest liar
in Alabama"
Then Reeves sat down and the hand
some stranger departed smiling, and
nothing more was heard Of the incident
But the subsequent conversation at
Reeves table was about the tariff and
the matter of Federal patronage
strictly!
Tom Shackelford, Of Athens, is
squarely in the fight against Hooper
Alexander for United States district
attorney for north Georgia
1t has been said that Mr.. Alexander
has that JOB nailed down, but Shackel-
ford is taking the liberty of doubling
It, and announces that he will make a
showing for the place that will interest
all parties concerned.
He thinks there is a grave doubt that
Mr. Alexander has the position
"cinched," and he will urge the Shack
elford counter claims to the limit.
Tom" Shackelford is a mighty pop
, ular man, in northeast Georgia, and is
on the right side of the fence politically
for landing the job. II he and Alexan-
der do go to the mat in this contest, the
outcome will be watched with great in
terest throughout the state.

Decatur. October Especial. .)--After an
absence of 80 years, Mrs. Landerrnan and
daughter, Mrs. Haynes of Kokomo, Ind,
are here onNa visit to Mrs. Abbie Nell
son and Mrs. Groenendyke and other
friends.
The Landerman family resided in De-
catur for a number of years, moving to

time they have visited Decatur since that
time They were very much surprised to
find that Decatur is now a city. When
they left here the population of Decatur
was only about 1900. Today Decatur and
New Decatur have a population of more
than 10 times that number. There are
but very few people living here now who
lived here when the Landerman family
resided here Mrs. Landermans husband
died some few years ago. Her son, Harry
I.anderman, lives in Kokomo, Ind
The only daughter, Miss Birdie Lander
man. married Mr.. Haynes. who was
the first man to manufacture automobiles
in the United States. He has an auto
mobile factory in kokono, Ind. where he
manufactures the well known Haynes

The general public as we'll as the teach

COMMON CARRIERS PETITION
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COM
MISSION FOR PERMISSION TO
INCREASE RATES-HOLLAND
DISCUSSES THE SITUATION
BY HOLLAND

New York, October 15-(SpeciaL)-At
the hearing a day or two ago before the
arbitrators who have been taking testi-
the controversy between the train men
and the conductors of. the eastern rail-
roads and the railroad companies them
selves, it was stated plainly that whether
the arbitrators grant the demands or not
the railroad employees will not rest con-
tent. Even though the arbitrators grant
their present demands in full, there will
come later new demands for higher
wages.
On the day that this testimony was
taken there came from Washington in
timations that the interstate commerce
commission Is likely soon to take up the
request of the eastern railway companies
for permission to increase rates by as
much as per cent in rates and these
managers hoped months ago that the mat
ter would be taken up at once by the
commission But there has been procras-
tination. The commission has been oc-
eupied by many other important matters.
These seemed to The commission, appar-
emily of more consequence than the ap-
peal of the railroad companies Of the
east to increase their rates by as much
as per cent,
Reduce Dividend Rates
Since this matter was first brought to
the attention of the commissioners vari-
Gus railroad companies have found it ex-
pedent to reduce dividend rates. This. of
course, will be a matter for Investigation
by the commission 1t is likely to be
said that in some cases at least the de-
crease in dividend rates was due wholly
to mismanagement by railroad executives
This accusation has been made against
the New Haven railroad company the in
timatione being that if the management
which preceded the administration of
President Howard Elliott had been wise
1t would have been found unnecessary to
reduce the dividend rates upon this rail-
road stock
But in many cases it is believed to be
possible to demonstrate to the commits
sion that the reduction of dividend rates
has been due to the fact that the net
earnings of the companies have been seri-
ously impaired, although for the past
three years gross earnings have in
creased. James ]. Hill is quoted as hav-
ing said In Boston recently that the gross
earnings of the great railroad with which
he is identified We're larger in the past
II months than in the IL months preced-
ing, but it has been observed that Mr.
Hill did not say that the net earnings
OF his railroad company have also in
creased.
A Serious Question
There is no doubt that many railroad
managers and some of the leading men of
finance of the United States and of Lon
don look upon the railroad situation of
the United States as of far more serious
import than any other feature of our ma
tional Industrial commercial and agri-
cultural life The men of finance are
saying to one another that the credit
of almost all of the railroad companies
in the United States has been impaired
and some go SO far as to say that the
whole railroad fabric is seriously threat
ened." 1t is observed, too, that more and
more men of large affairs are beginning
