THE Atlanta Sunday Journal. i Another Piece of Superb Enterprise on the Part of the Great Atlanta Daily?Will Appear June 1. The Atlanta Journal has announc- i ed its purpose to begin June 1 the publication of a Sunday morning edition. This announcement carries the assurance that The Sunday Journal will be the most complete, comc. n A offrOrtflTTO T\0 TIDT piCUCUDUC aiiu avunuiMu . published in the entire country?for it is well known that whatever this great southern newspaper undertakes it executes perfectly. The Journal argues that the publication of its Sunday morning edition is n^ade necessary by the growing 'demand of The Journal on seven days of the week instead of six?in other words, a demand for a newspaper that gives ail the news all the time. The Journal has gone about the preparation of its Sunday edition with the same spirit of interprise and liberality of expenditure that has J made The Daily Journal the most popular and universally read newspaper in the south. It has not only installed a new ?42,000 press, but has at eDormous expense supplimented its already magnificent news service (that of the Associated .tress admittedly the best on earth) with the special cable service of the New York Herald, the most perfect foreign news service in existence, together with all of the best special Sunday features of The Herald the 6ame to appear simultaneously in that paper and The Sunday Journal. In addition to this its own corps of special writers will embrace some of the best known names in the country; among them George Ade, Peter Finley Dunne, Bishop C*ndler, Sam P. Jones, Mrs. Felton, Rev. George G. Smith, the historian, and numerous others. Its social news and religious departments will be special features, while its colored comic suppliment will be the equal of any, and the first ever issued by a Georgia newspaper. The Sunday Journal will be sent to regular subscribers of the daily at 12 cents per week-or for the small additional cost of 2 cents per week. Or it will be served by newsboys at 5 cents per copy. 1 ' ? i il l iL!_ it goes witnouc saying tnai inis new piece of enterprise on the part of 1 The Journal, meaning as it does, ' greatly increased service at a minimum of increased cost, will largely increase the circulation and usefulness of * that great newspaper. i in How To Avoid Trouble.

Memphis, May 29.?The prosecu- | tion of common carriers urd-r the int( r-itate commerce act as amended has begun here with indictments against six railroads as follows: Illinois Central: Louisville and Nashville; St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southerr; Friscc; Southern Railwa\; Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis. Indictments were returned agaiDst these railroads and their officials be; cause the government contends the declaration by each road is in fact a pool among them to divide on a prorata basis the cotton out of Memphis and to maintain rates. This agreement is known among railroads as a "declaration." The government called it a pool and the evidence of it is alleged to have been so strong that the grand jury returned the indictment.
