Georgia Railroad Rate Policy Debate Stirred by Letter
Macon Telegraph reprints a Georgia Railroad Commission letter to the Savannah Morning News dated January 7, 1908. The missive rejects any pledge to cut freight rates by four million dollars and mocks those who claim such a program. The governor and commission are described as opposed to abandoning the plan, while critics ride a metaphorical stick-horse in campaign rhetoric. The note also discusses port rates from Brunswick and Savannah to inland Georgia.
