GEORGIA FREIGHT
RATES NOW HEAD
OF OTHER STATES

ATLANTA, Ga, May 2O.-Further
comparisons between intra-state
freight rates in Georgia, present and
proposed and existing interstate
freight rates in Virginia, North Caro-
lima, show that the rates in Georgia
are already higher than the rates in
those three states according to figures
given out by the statistical bureau of
the Georgia Shippers association,
represents the entire shipping inter
ests of the state in their fight against
the railroads in petition now pending
| before the railroad commission.
The statistical bureau of the asso-
cation today gave out the following
comparisons:
The present average rate, from 25 to
80 miles, on classes l to inclusive,
in Virginia, North Carolina and South
Carolina, is 21.2 cents per 100 pounds.
The present average rate, from %
| to so miles, on classes 1 to inclus>
i've, in the state of Georgia, is 25.4
cents per 100 pounds, or Is per cent.
higher than the average rate in the
other three states.
The proposed average rate, from %
to 80 miles, on classes / to 6 inclus-
i've, in the state of Georgia, is 26.&
ments per 100 pounds, or &c per cent.
higher than the average rate in the
other three states.
AS shown in previously published
comparisons, the present average rate,
from l to rs miles, on classes 1 to in
elusive in Virginia, North Carolina and
South Carolina, is 1913 cents per 100
rounds.
The present average rate, from 1 to
% miles, on classes 1 to 6 inclusive,
in the state of Georgia is 1868 cents
per 100 pounds, or 81 per cent. higher
than the average rate in the other
three states.
The proposed average rate, from /
to % miles, on classes to inclus-
i've, in the state of Georgia, is 176 cents
per 100 pounds, or 37.5 per cent. higher
than the average rate in the other
three states.
Summing up, the present average
rate from l to SO miles, on classes ]
to 6 inclusive, in Virginia, North Caro-
lira and South Carolina, is II cents
per 100 pounds.
The present average rate, from l 10
80 miles, on classes l to inclusive
in the state of Georgia, is 81 cents per
100 pounds, or 23.7 per cent higher
than the average rate in the other
three states.
The proposed average rate, from /
| to so miles. on classes / to 6 inclus-
i've, in the state Of Georgia, is 222
cents per 100 pounds, or 900 per cent.
higher than the average rate in the
other three states.
Transportation conditions in Vir-
ginia, North Carolina and South Caro-
Ina are closely similar to transporta-
ton conditions in Georgia.
Three of the principal states, oper-
ating under the rates cited above, are
the Atlantic Coast Line, the Seaboard
Air Line and the Southern railroads.
These same roads are three of the
principal carries in Georgia, yet they
already charge a higher rate in Geor-
gia than in the other three states, and
propose to advance their Georgia rates
still further.

Administration Again Juggling With Special
 Election on Charter

{ Mayor Wilson has changed the date Tor the special vote on the commission Norm of government, from Saturday. Nov. 25, to Wednesday, Nov. 29, the day before Thanksgiving day. The change in date from Saturday when
 most of the factories arc closed for a half holiday, and many voters are idle, to the day before a holiday when bus hnes men and factory workers alike are busy. will make it much harder to get out the vote. < Under the law the voting machines must remain closed and sealed for 20 days after the election which brings the time beyond the date first set by khe mayor. Nor could the vote have been lheld on the following Saturday. since that date would have been more than go days beyond the time the common tcouncil approved of the resolution for the submission of the commission charter to the voters. By an order &rom the court, however, the machines might have been opened in time for the election on the day first set

He ic a Dead On Now

"Wuff. Wuif." How would
you like to be awakened frt N
your peaceful slumber during
the night by the sound of a mid.
night prowler in the nature of
black bear. Not only to hear
the sound but to have the animal
come right into the room and
awaken you. This was the ex-
perience of Mr.. and Mrs. Jay
Murphy on Sunday evening of
this week.
After they had retired for the
night and had slipped off into
srum berland their peaceful sleep
was suddenly broken into by
the sound of "wuff, wuff" com
ing from somewhere in the
room.
Jay Immediately arose from
his bed and snapped on the cleo
trio light and immagine his sur
prise to have an ugly looking
bear staring him in the face and
growing.
Would you have done as Mr..
Murphy did? Grab rifle and
fill the animal full of lead or
would you have tried to coax
the animal from the room and
thus spare his life. Ten chances
to one Mr.. Bruin would have
received tho baptism of lead.
The bear was a perfectly
harmless bear, according to the
story of his owner, but Mr..
Murphy did not believe in tax.
ing any chances.
The animal was owned by Mr..
N. A. Wing. Some time during
Sundty night the animal broke
loose from his chain and began |
prowling about the city. Reach
ing the Murphy home the animal
the open window and
he Immediately made his way
through the window and into
Mr.. Murphy's bed room. This
is what caused his undoing.

Had a Big Time

Despite threatening weather
the "Jitney Dance" given by the
Woman's Council at the Dupont
Park Addition dancing pavilion
last Friday evening was largely
attended and those attending
had big time.
The people were taken out to
the Dupont Park by Jitney
buses driven by local people
who donated their cars for this
purpose. The music for the
evening was furnished by peo-
pile who donated their services.
The refreshments were served
by the Woman's council. Every
thing vents at a nickle, including
the dances and the rides to the
pavilion.
For several hours the large
crowd enjoyed dancing when
came to split the fun. While
the autos were engaged in
taking the people home again
the music kept up and the
dancing went on despite the
rain.
The people were out for a big
time and they had it. A demand
is now being made that the
Woman's Council conduct an
other dance of the same kind
when the weather is more favor
able.
