Railroads Face Heavy Sherman Act Lawsuit in Atlanta
A $175,000-plus suit, filed by Rosser and Brandon for J F McGowan and J Winman of Inman & Co cotton merchants, targets Louisville and Nashville, Atlantic Coast Line, Southern, Seaboard Air Line, and Central of Georgia over handling of 10 098 bales tied to a pooling plan. The case cites Sherman antitrust law and seeks treble damages plus fees, alleging deliberate misrouting caused substantial losses and delays from Athens to Augusta and Europe. The petition links the Southeast Freight Association to anti competitive practices across Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina. It claims the railroads coordinated freight divisions to fix prices and services, thwarting interstate commerce. The story notes a similar claim trend and recites a local endorsement of a Chamberlain remedy.

Electric shock injures Georgia factory worker at Whitehall
Parks Williams, chief of electrical at Georgia Manufacturing Company, suffered a severe high voltage shock Sunday morning while testing motors. The blast tore skin from finger to wrist, burned a thumb, felled him unconscious, and required immediate care at Dr. S. H. Dillard’s office. A misconnection with a live dynamo produced 8000 volts, narrowly avoiding a fatal outcome. A related note praises Dr King’s New Discovery for consumption and other ailments, with testimonials from Lois Cragg of Dorchester, Mass.
