Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 20.-What the

to recelvo for carrying tho malls,
and the equitable and Just manner
by which rates for compensation shall
bo established, is tho subject of a
timely article prepared for the Manu
facturers Record by Prof. Edgar- B.
Kay, of Tuscaloosa, Alu., and whio'.i
baa caused much favorable comment
among railroad men throughout Geor

Kuy hns had unusual opportunities
for studying railroad problems, hav
ing beeu for twelve years up to Janu

Professor Kay payB particular at

Ito effect upon tho rovonueB of Ino

hoavy, entire stocka of groceries aro
now being sent by parcels post, coal,
flour, hardware and such things go
ing through the malls h jr simply be
ing' don? up into 50-pound pack

Tho review of th? situation made
by Professor Kay is worthy,, of (JJO
serious attention Of tho ot?tirp public
-it is impossible ipr thev railroads
to be crippled without tho public be
ing hurt, and the HUil/jecl ie, therefore,
ono In'which tao interests of overy:

asking for . mord money ' for hauling

done for their relief. The Manufac
