The Railroad Commission has re-
fused in part and granted in part
the petition of the Georgia Railway
and Power Company, fixing its pas
senger and freight rates over it's new
Stone Mountain line.
The rate to Decatur, which is 10
cents on the express cars, is approved,
but the rate to Stone Mountain ~
fixed at 25 cents rather than 80, the
rate fixed by the company in its pc

The freight rates as prayed for are
granted, which makes them the same
as fourth class rates on the railroad.
the commission also changed the
proposed rates to other points along
the line, but in doing this it readjust-

AS finally granted, the rates author
lied are as follows: From Atlanta
to Decatur, 10 cents; to Scottdale, 10
cents; to Charleston, Is cents; to
Mount Zion, 20 cents, and to Stone

The petition to fix Communication

hand, is placed on trial for his life

that in killing his former employer.

just as Cleopatra fascinated so great

throw the world away, so did this wo-
man, the wife of another man, attract
and dominate a guileless and sus-
ceptible farm boy"
1t will be further pleaded that Mrs.
King had threatened Wilburn with
the loss of his own life if he did not
kill James King. Attorney Cooper's
only hope, as he frankly confesses, is
to save Wilburn's neck.

because she was inundated by
