NEW ORDER AFFECTING
SHIPMENTS OF COTTON
RULE WILL GO INTO EFFECT
THROUGHOUT GEORGIA ON
10Th OF NEXT MONTH.
OF INTEREST TO THE TRADE
New Rates and Rules Applicable to
All Grades Will Be Put in Opera
ton by Action of Public Service
Commission of the State.

Effective April goth, all railroads in
Georgia will be required to permit con-
centration warehousing and re-ship-
ment of cotton to all points over the
state, under an order passed by the
Georgia Public Service Commission.
For several years, it is pointed out,
the carriers have permitted interstate
shipments of cotton to be concentrat-
ed at compress points in the state and
later reshipped to vicinities beyond
the concentration point on basis OF
the through rate from the point of
origin of the cotton. This privilege,
however, with few exceptions has not
been granted to shippers OF cotton
originating in Georgia, it is said, and
as a result OF the order of the COM
mission the Georgia shipper has equal
advantage as that OF the interstate
shipper.
Under the rules fixed by the com
mission it is provided that when I'M
compressed cotton moves into the
transit point and is compressed and
reshpped within 90 days from the
date it reaches such point no extra
charge will be made for the concen-
tration privilege. On the other hand,
if the cotton is not reshipped within
the 90-day period a charge of three
cents per hundred is permitted. If un-
compressed cotton is shipped into the
transit point and then is shipped out
uncompressed, it is said, charge OF
cents per 100 for the transit privilege
is permitted. Also, if compressed cot
ton moves into the transit point and
moves out compressed a charge of 3
cents per 100 is permitted.
On Through Rate Basis.
Heretofore, if a cotton mill in Geor-
gia bought Georgia cotton at con-
centration point the local rate to and
from the concentration point was
charged whereas under the new rul-
ing the through rate would be assess.
ed from the original point OF shipment
to the mill point plus the concentra-
ton charge, if any, making the new
arrangement more desirable for the
cotton mill authorities as well as the
grower and shipper, according to OF
fcials OF the commission.
The new rules of the commission
likewise provide for the substitution
of cotton at these transit points, which
means that the identical cotton shipp
ed into the concentration point does
not have to be reshipped, it was said.
The substituted plan laid down by
the commission also permits the sub
stitution of cotton brought into the
transit point by trucks, wagons or
boats for cotton that is brought in by
rail-
This order OF the commission re-
suited from a thorough investigation
recently made by the commission on
petition filed by Charles Barham,
chairman, representing all of the rail
roads, for approval OF fiat charge OF
four cents per hundred for all transit.

by the Georgia Cotton Growers As

rules and regulations and charges.

TOBACCO SCOUTS
ARE in THE FIELD
ESTIMATES ARE BEING MADE
OF 1925 CROP. A BIG YIELD
IS EXPECTED THIS YEAR.

Crop scouts for the big league to-
bacco buyers are already making their
survey of the south Georgia and north
Florida tobacco fields for the purpose
OF estimating the 1925 crop in pounds.
One of these scouts spent Saturday
at Valdosta, closing up his first round
for the season, and he stated that &C
cording to pre-planting information
gathered he was placing the prelimi-
nary crop estimate at one hundred
million pounds.
The same territory in the season of
1924 produced thirty-one millio n
pounds.
The estimate for 1925 will be re-
checked after the setting out season
and will then be checked against the
fertilizer sold, in order to get a more
substantial estimate.
Should the 1925 crop come any
where near approximating this first
estimate it would be regarded as an
enormous expansion However, the
big league scout declared that after
visiting all the bright leaf growing
sections and getting the acreage to
be planted it is now indicated the fig
ures will not be far wrong under or
binary and normal growing and cur
ing conditions

houseman of lifetime experience, es-

million pounds.

Carolina Will Be Scrutinized.
Charges of trafficking in federal of
fees in Georgia and South Carolina,
especially in postmasterships, has
been made the subject of inquiry by
the department of justice at Washing
ton.
The inquiry has been placed under
the direction of William J. Donovan,
assistant attorney general in charge OF
criminal prosecution, it was learned.
The steps taken by the justice de-
partment are an outgrowth of COM
plants presented within recent weeks
to President Coolidge by Senators
Harris and George, of Georgia, and
referred by the members to the JUS
tice department.
Referred to Department.
1t is said officially that the presi-
dent, on receiving the complaints,
turned them over to the department.
Complaints of sale of federal Offices
by republican leaders from southern
states have been made from time to
time within the last two or three
years, and it is understood that the
nature of these complaints has been
adjudged by the justice department
as sufficient to warrant an investiga-
ton.
Some of these complaints have
been made by Senator Dial, democrat,
OF South Carolina, and Representative
Stevenson, of the same state. No
comment on the investigation has
been made at the department, but Mr..
Stevenson said he had been assured
that if investigation disclosed viola
tons of the civil service act prosecu-
tons would be undertaken.
Most of the complaints have had to
do with postmasterships

van conducted the investigation which

"Billy Breeze. Billy Breeze,
I have skinned my eight poor knees"
Cried Daddy Longlegs, who's been
I'D against the hard fence stone.
And now I hope, Little Readers.
YOU remember what happened in the
last story. But in case you have for
gotten, I'll remind you that poor
Daddy Longlegs had been blown by
mischievious Billy Breeze against
the Old Stone Fence.
Dear, Oh DEAR" sighed thsF old
gentleman insect, how am I to get
to the shoemaker? / can't stand up
in this terrible wind. much less
walk. Dear, oh dear."
"Tve thought Of way" shouted
the little rabbit, just like that, quick
as the bills on the first Of the month.
Tell me" gasped breathless Dad
dy Longlegs from the chink in the
Old Stone Fence.
Crawl into my knapsack," laugh
ed the bunny boy, and slipping it. off
his back, he undid the straps and
opened the cover.
Gracious mel" exclaimed the old
insect, looking in. It's half full of
lollypOpS. Theyd pump me 10
pieces. "Pll put them in my
pockets, answered the little rabbit.
AS soon as the knapsack was
emptied and Daddy Longlegs had
hoped in off went the bunny boy on
the pushmobile to the little dwarf
shoemaker in the Fairy Bunny
Forest. Up hill and down dale rolled
the rubber tired wheel until by and
by quite way, weary-legged and
dusty grey, the little rabbit stopped
at the tiny hut in which the little
shoemaker lived. There at the open
window he sat on little wooden
bench stitching a shoe.
Hello, hello!" cried the little rab-
bit, slipping the knapsack off his
back, i've brought you customer"
Where is he?" asked the little
dwarf shoemaker, looking here and
there and everywhere, but in vain.
There was no one in sight except a
tiny ant that was hurrying home to
her little sand hill.
Here he is, laughed the bunny
boy, opening the knapsack. The
next minute out hoped Daddy
