. "> T\ '''.'s;' ir*M*-,<f,. is*) f* ' * !UP TO RAILROADS * , :One Umpire is Offered for All Arbitrations in Georgia. SUGGESTS JUDGE MILLER Commissioner- Stevens Says Roads Must Accept Proposition or Let Governor Smith Name Two State Arbitrators. "I offer you Judge A. L. Miller of Macon as umpire in the case of the tax returns of all the steam railroads which have not accepted the comptroller general's assessments. You may ac cept him or let the matter go up to Governor Smith for the appointment of two arbitrators to represent the state." Such, in substance, was the proposition put by Georgia Railroad Commissioner 0. B. Stevens, appointed to represent the state, to the arbitrators for the three largest railroad systems in the state at their ctnference held on Thursday in the office of the railroad commission in Atlanta. There wa< a howl in camp, of course, but Commissioner Stevens was determined in his purpose, and the railroad arbitrators, after a discussion pro and con, in the course of which they found they were unable to shake the sta;e's representative, retired to think it over and determine in the course of the next two or three weeks just what they will do about it. Commissioner Stevens told them if they would offer any reasonable and valid reason as to why Judge Miller should no; serve in that capacity, he would endeavor to select another man; but, until some gccd reason was shown be insisted on his original proposition and said he proposed to stand by it. The three railroad arbitrators who met Commissioner Stevens were Judge S. B. Adams of Savannah", representing the' Atlantic Coast Line; Hon. Roland Ellis of Macon, representing the Southern railway, and Hon. Alex W. Smith of Atlanta for the Central of Georgia. The Seaboard Air Line and the Atlanta and West Point tax assessments are also to be arbitrated, and when they come up to Commissioner Stevens he will also offer Judge Miller as umpire, it being his determination, for the sake of uniformity as near as it is ' possible to get it, to have the same umpire in all cases. All other steam railroads to be arbitrated, therefore, may count on the same proposition as was made in the foregoing cases. Commissioner Stevens reached the conclusion to take this position sev ral dago ago. First ana roremtst, it was his desire to have a berard whose conclusions would as nearly as v possible equalize the values cf the various railroad properties cf the state. In order to do this, it is necessary to have practically the same board in all i cases. In the next place, it was his determination to select a man who represented the very essence of the Macon platform, and who, he believed, would carry out the wishes of the people as therein expressed. That Judge Miller, who was chairman of the Macon convention and chairman of the starte democratic committee, is such a man, there can be no' possible question or doubt. Again, it is well known that an effort has been made to bring about a change in the method of appointing arbitrators, and to have a new law enacted at once, as rumor had it, with the avowed purpose of dispensing with the services of Commissioner Stevens -*?

Beers believes that lie bas such evidence concerning a chipping sparrow at Lakewood, New Jersey. A few years ago he heard n Ii:tle bird concealed in the fop of a maple uttering a peculiar song which he could not recognize. The next season he heard the same peculiar song in the tree but a few yards from the original point. This time he identified the bird, which seemed to have a song of its own. . The third year he did not visit <Lakewood at the proper season to meet his little friend, but the fourth year he heard and saw it again near the same spot. It appeared always to make its summer home in the trees on an area not more than two acres in extent. Mail for a Grave.

It is the bright, healthy, vivacious . woman who always charms and carries sunshine wherever she goes. If a woman finds that her energies are flagging and that everything tires her; if her feminine system fails to perform its allotted duties, there is 1 nervousness, sleeplessness, faintness, : backache, headache, bearing-down pains, and irregularities, causing constant misery and riielancholia, she should remember that Lydia E. j Pinkham's Vegetable compouuu made from native roots and herbs will dispel all these troubles. By correcting the cause of the trouble it cures where other treatment may have failed. ( Miss Elizabeth Wynn, of No. 205 8th Avenue, New York City, writes : Dear Mrs. Pinkham:? "For months I suffered with dreadful headaches, pain in the back and severe I hemorrhages. I was weak and out of sorts all the time. Lydia E.

WORST MAMMALIAN PEST. Department of Agriculture saya it Is the Rat?Methods of Destruction. It costs American farmers probably $100,000,00 a year to feed rats. Agricultural department experts compute that the average cost of feeding a rat on grain is about fifty j cents a year. If for each cow, horse, sheep and hog on the farms of the United States the farmer supports me rat on grain the cofet would reach the enormous total of $100,000,000 a year. Even if half their food is j waste material the .tax of feeding rats j Is still an enormous drain. The Agricultural Department will i soon' issue a comprehensive publica- j tion on "Methods of Destroying Rats." This will show that the brown rat is the worst mammalian pest i existence, and in the United States destroys more property tuan all other noxious animals combined. This government publication will j show that the ravages of rats are not confined to food. They enter stores and warehouses and destroy dry goods, lace curtains, carpets, woollens, silks, kid gloves and other leather goods. They gnaw through lead pipes, flooding buildings with water or filling them with gas. They injure furniture and the foundations and doors of buildings. They eat the insulation from electric wires, thus causing fires. The average fire loss in the United States due to defective j insulation is placed at $15,000,000 annually, a considerable part of which ! is said to be caused by rats. Rats destroy eggs and *oung poultry, pigeons, game, birds au.l wild song birds. They have been known to kill young rabbits, pigs and Iambs and even to attack children. In addition to the direct damage, j rats are known tc be agents in carry- ! ing disease germs from house to i tiouse and from city to city. Bubonic j plague is usually carried from port [ to port in this way.?Washington j correspondence of the New York j nrr^?i VYVliU. I ?? Electric R. R. in Prussia.
