Mr.. Fred Wolfe, representing the
Erlanger Syndicate, which lately
bought the franchises Of the Mem
phis and Selma Railroad Company,
has reached the city, and it is alleged
by a morning contemporary that he
held business conference last night.
1t takes time to work out great
schemes, but the people generally
from Memphis to Selma are exceed
ingly anxious to learn as soon as pos
sible exactly what is to be done. We
have been assured by some of the late
bondholders of the Memphis and Sell
ma Railroad Company that the line is to
be completed this fall from Memphis
to Holly Springs in time to move this
years crop. Now that Mr.. Wolfe is
here, we hope that he will confirm
this gratifying report, or at least fur
nish the people with some definite in
formation. 1t has been intimated
in some of the papers that our local
bondholders we're bought out to pre-
vent the building of the road. This
is a view, however, which we do not
entertain. The early coming of the
Huntingdon system to Memphis and
the strong probability that the Mem
phis and Kansas City road will be
completed at an early day arc strong
reasons why the Erlanger Syndicate
should desire to reach Memphis. In
any event, we hope to be able before
Mr. Wolfe leaves to give an author,
lied statement of what the people
may expect

Mornonism I'm Georgia.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.l
ATLANTA, GA, July 30.-Mormon-
ism in Georgia is attracting the atten-
tion of the authorities, and the ques-
tiOn is agitated whether the disciples
cannot be driven from the State. The
infamous doctrine has obtained a
much stronger ioothold and more ad
herents than it is possible to believe,
and the discovery creates social alarm
and indignation. 1t has Just been
developed that in White county, in
the northern part of the State, there
are two Mormon missionaries who
have been industriously at work in
this section for twelve months. The
community is isolated, and inhabited
by people the density of whose iguo-
rance is a reproach to civilization.
The results of the missionaries efforts
we're successful in making converts.
Reliable information from White
county states that an organization of
some thirteen to sixteen members
have been perfected, Sunday-school
Of Some forty pupils established, and
day school had been in contempla-
tion. The missionaries are ordinary
looking men. with no peculiar gifts or
graces They are preachers, and from
their personal bearing do not impress
the beholder as men of piety and
goodness
They claim great superiority for the
Book of Mormon over the Holy Scrip
lures, aud power to heal the sick,
which gives them influence over ig-
norant and superstitious people.
Should the general or State govern
ment fail to suppress these workers,
the sentiment Of the educated classes
means extreme measures in dealing
with the Elders.

THE egg romance has received quite
a chill and young men engaged in
packing eggs might as well know it..
A few weeks ago the papers contained
an account of a romantic engagement
between young egg packer of East
Tennessee and a Brooklyn damsel all
caused by something the young man
wrote on one of the eggs he planted in
the sawdust. The girl unpacked the
box, read the inscription on the
egg aud answered it, a CORE
spondence, exchange of photographs,
a visit, and an engagement speedily
followed. But the marriage has not
come off yet. An old lover, a police
man, heard of it in the papers and
renewed his suit. The girl yielded to
Nhis pleading and they became speedily
engaged, and Sunday afternoon was
set for the marriage in ST. Paul'S
church, Brooklyn. At the hour up
pointed the young lady and her friends
repaired to tho church but
no policeman came. Three hours
rolled by and then the would be bride
broke out in tears. She and the other
mourners finally left for home and no
body married. The next day the
poor creature, the chief mourner, who
wanted to get married to some fellow
or other, received the following
classical note from the policeman:
"MY DEAR ANNIE:--I hope you
will forgive me was only in fun when
iasked you to.marry me. You had bet
ter take the other fellar. Yours
truly. JoE.n
This fred her with indignation and
she started out to find a lawyer to be-
gin suit for $4,000 damages against
the delinquent policeman. Not find
ing $25 in her pocket as retainer, fee
she was unable to set the legal ma.
chinery in motion. Meanwhile the
East Tennessee egg-packer has moi
been heard from. 1t will be his time
to indignate next. Such is life.

SOME Of the high-tax papers speak
ofan extra session of the Legislature
as matter of course, and they doubt
less know what they are talking about
These same papers are greatly excited
lest the dear people will have to pay
a big pile of money into the treasury,
which would not be needed if the
Supreme Court should decree the
1908 act as1 unconstitutional. But
if the act is constitutional then
the dear people may dig up their taxes
and make up their minds to contius in
the business year in and year out.
This sympathy comes rather late from
those who ann nounced after the Legis-
lature adjourned, that the debt was
settled beyond RECALL, and that the
people might as well submit for they
could not help themselves. A good
many respectable citizens including
reputable lawyers and tax payers, be-
lieving that the act was unjust and
unconstitutional, brought a suit to
test the matter by due form Of law.
They have been misrepresented and
unworthy motives have been attribut-
ed t1 them from the start. An out.

napers would hardly believe there was
