Georgia Towns Suffer From
Lack of Proper Freight Rates
Clifton in Testimony For Roads
Says Long and Short Haul
Principle Needed.

, ATLANTA Ca, Aug 90 (SpeciaD
That under Carolina intrastate rates,
where such rates more nearly con-
form to the long and short haul prin-
ciples than do the present Georgia in
trastate rates, the small towns along
the Southern railway from Char
lott to the Georgia line have developed
into thriving jobbing centers, where
as towns in similar situations in Geor-
gia have not enjoyed this develop
ment was the closing testimony of
Randall Clifton, assistant freight
traffic manager Of the Southern rail-
way, who has just completed his testi-
mony for the railroads before the
Georgia railroad commission, in the
freight rate hearing.
He stated that the reason that such
towns as Barnesville and Forsyth in
Georgia, which he described as being
similarly situated to the Carolina
towns have not developed jobbing bus
mess is because the present Georgia
rates operate against them in favor
of the larger centers, and that the pro-
posed revision would remedy this con-
dition.

HOPING FOR SETTLEMENT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The an
presidents, including those of West
ern roads newly arrived, to President
Wilson's proposed plan for avertins
the threatened strike, was being for
mulated today. Every utterance OF
the railway heads displayed opposi
tion to the Presidents suggestion, but
it was considered possible counter
proposal acceptable to the employees
er negotiations.
AS the railroad executives were not
ready for another conference this
morning President Wilson called the
Cabinet to dispose of business, which
has accumulated while he has been
considering the strike problem.
AT 10 o'clock the men went into a
meeting which was attended by the
leaders of all four brotherhoods.
No special purpose was attached to
it and the leaders said it was just to
KNep the men togethes. A statement
in reply to the arguments of the rail-
road executives on the question OF ar
bitration was being prepared by the
leaders and probably will be issued
for publication tomorrow. The broth
erhood officials described the situation
as unchanged.
The railroad executives made for
NAL announcement that consideration
of the situation had been turned over
to a committee of eight and that no
conclusions had been reached. me
following were announced as members
of the committee which will work on
President Wilson's proposal and make
a report to the assembled executives: ::

Hear Strong Personal Plea.
The presidents yesterday heard from
Mr.. Wilson at the White House a
strong personal plea for concessions
TO avoid tie-up at time when ne
said "eyerv ounce of American en-

the Catholic church upon the situa-
tion in Mexico received further defini-
ton today in the conventions here of
the American Federation of Catholic
Societies. the Catholic Young Mems

church in Merico as Mr.. Slattery is
well informed on this subject, having
spent fifteen years as a mining engi-
neer in that country.
Business sessions of the federation
and its allied organizations were held
this morning when some of the sub
ject discussed in the reports of
President Joseph Frey of Veredin,
and of Anthony Matre secretary of the
federation, were taken up for action.
Mr.. Matre in his report yesterday
criticised some of the features of mod

Guiding phases of the moving picture
business, easy divorces, improper
plays and attacks on christianity. A

ALL ALLIED NATIONS
FIGHTING AT SAIONlKI
LANKFORO TALKS
TO LOCAL VOTERS
DOUGLAS CONGRESSIONAL CAM
DIDATE MAKES AN ADDRESS
IN OPEN AIR MEETING.

Judge w. C. Lankford, of Douglas,
one of the candidates for congress,
addressed a number OF Brunswick and
Glynn county voters at an open air
meeting last night at the corner of
Newcastle and Gloucester streets
Judge Lankford was scheduled to
speak at 1880 o'clock but he was late
in reaching the city and consequent
ly did not begin until S:15 and spoke
for one hour.
Judge Lankford stated that he had
delivered three addresses during the
day, and consequently was little
fatigued. After few remarks as to
where he was born, what he had done,
etc. he went into his subject, and
told the voters why he was seeking
to be elected to congress from the
Eleventh district He promised the
voters that if he was elected he would
devote all of his time to the office;
that he would stay on the job and use
all of his efforts and all of is time
and energy in accomplishing things
for the Eleventh district.
While he did not deal in personal
tiles, he told few jokes on the other
candidates, which brought forth
laughter from those present He said
that he was going about the district
appealing to the voters, fighting his
own race, and that while he did not
claim to know that he was going to
be elected at the same time he said
that if any of the other candidates
made such claim they knew it was a
false one
Recently, he said, he saw an ar
ticle where W. e. Thomas, of Valdos-
ia. was claiming fourteen out of the
sixteen counties; a little later he saw
another article where Congressman
Walker was going to carry fourteen
out of the sixteen, and a few days ago
he read another article where Jet
Bowden was going to carry twelve out
Of the sixteen, therefore, he said he
began to think that his best chance
was TO create some new counties, as
the three candidates were going to
carry forty counties, while there were
only sixteen in the district.
Judge Landlord is strong speaker;
he has good voice makes a strong
appeal to the voter, and he was liber-
ally applaused at the conclusion of his
address.

LAND OWNERS Of
GLyNN To WAyCROSS
SOME ARE EXPECTED TO BE AT
THE LAND CONGRESS TO BE
HELD THERE TODAY.

Brunswick men and Glynn county
land owners together with those of
Georgia will meet in Waycross today
for the purpose of formulating plans
that will result in greater and more
rapid development of the idle acreage
of the state. It is expected that a
majority of the large land owners Of
Georgia will either be there in person
or have representatives present. Sew
eral hundred letters of acceptance
have been received at the land con-
gres headquarters, which were open
ed about month ago.
The principal railroads of the state
will send representatives to the land
congress among those heard from be-
ing the Atlanta Birmingham and At
lantic. Atlantic Coast Line, Central of
Georgia, Georgia Southern and Flori-
da, Seaboard Air Line, and Southern.
The meeting will be business one
in every sense of the word. There
will be some practical talks, and land
owners will tell what they think
should be done to improve conditions.
That the direct result of the land
congress will be the organization of
an association for the promotion of
the vast idle tracts of land in Geor-
gia, principally in the southern half
of the state, is the opinion of those
in touch with the situation. III.
Representatives Of the Southern
Settlement and Development organi
zation Of Baltimore under whose aus
pices the Waycross congress will be
held, have been in Waycross for the
past month and are very well pleased

There was a rush in the movement
of cotton here yesterday. A total of
forty bales were received by the
Georgia Cotton Company. Good prices
will be paid for it totalIing about
$2,S00
Thus the Brunswick people have
witnessed the coming of the cotton
the Goddess who is said to have
sprung full grown from the head of
Jupiter. The only dissimilarity in
this lies in the fact that the market Is
expected to grow still more.
A campaign is being waged by a
number of business men Of the city
to persuade the farmers in this vicini-
ty to market their staple here. They
are writing them letters soliciting
their buksiness for Brunswick
The sale of more cotton here means
better business. Especially. is this
true since the price for the staple is
going up. All cotton quotations Mon

WASHINGTON Aug. 22.-The "wal
game" along the Atlantic coast start
ed this morning. The fred" or enemy
fleet conveying thirty transports witt
the invading army, arrived within 60(
miles of the coast at 6 o'clock this
morning.
Within an hour the twelve battle
ships and the "blue" defending fleet
were speeding to sea behind far
flung line of destroyers, and scouts
intent upon locating and destroying
the enemy.
Admiral Mayo commands the "red'
swift destroyers, representing the
scouting line and six other navy
craft, representing the fleet of trans.
ports and store ships. Rear Admiral
Helm has II destroyers and seven
light cruisers as his couting screen
and close to shore are fifteen sub
marines as last line of naval de-
fense.
Rear Admiral Knight, president of
the Navy-War College, aboard the
superdreadnaugh Pennsylvania will
umpire the game in which II fight
ing craft are engaged. The reserve
battleships forming the blue" fleet
main line are manned by naval
militia men and civilian sailors.
Admiral Mayo has until Sept. 7 to
evade the "blue" fleet and effect a
landing at any port between Cape
Hatteras and East Port, Me. The
sphere of action extends six hun
dred miles to sea between those
points.
For the purpose Of the game the
navy department was placed on a
war footing this morning. officers
were assigned at each bureau to
stand watch night and day Watch
will also be maintained at all the
navy's communication stations.
In the office of Rear Admiral
Benson, chief of operations, great
chart of the war game zone was set
up and as reports came from Rear
Admiral Helm or from any other
sources showing the position Of the
ships, navigators laid off the posi-
tions Any information as to the
whereabouts of the invading fleet
which may come from commercial
vessels to any point along the shore
will be promptly forwarded to Rear
Admiral Helm.
A strict censorship will be exer-
cised over reports from the defend
ing fleet, however, as Admiral Mayo
has been authorized to ask passing
ships for newspapers or any other
information they may have as to the
disposition of the defending forces.
For that reason it is proposed not
to make public the reports OF con-
structive disasters Rear Admiral
Helm will send back from time to
time to test out the organization of
the navy departments various bu-
reaus and at the navy yard.

BEGIN GIGANTIC CAMPAIGN
The Arrival of Russian Troops
to Fight With Allies Against
the Bulgarians Creates Pro-
found Impression Fighting
on All Fronts Becomes Gen.
eral.

ATHENS Aug. 81, 6 p. m, via Lon
don, Aug 22.--An initial brigade of
Russian troops has arrived at Salon
Xxi to join the entente allies in their
fighting in the Balkans.
The arrival of the Russians has
created profound impression here.
Even the royalists who have consist
emily opposed participation in the war
by Greece on the side OF the allies,
seemed almost stunned by the news
that Russian troops had arrived to
take part in the campaign, which I'M
der other conditions might have been
taken by the Greek army.
The general feeling here Is that the
bringing in of Russian troops has
dispelled definitely the dream OF
greater Greece, which was conceived
year and half ago by the then Prem
ier Venizelos. who carried Greece well
on the way toward entrance in the war
with the allies.
II Is regarded as possible that the
presence Of Russian forces in Mace
donia will effect change in the atti-
tude of Bulgaria.
In some quarters irritation Is dis
played at the recent foreign policy Of
the Greek government, which Is said
to have overlooked the interests OF
this nation.
