cOrder This Morning.

Another saloonkeeper will face the re-
corder this morning on the charge of do
ing business on Sunday. John Cotting-

THE NEW ASSOCIATION IN BUSINESS
The Difference Between the Old ana
New Contracts.

New Contracts.
Maj. w. F. Shellman, traffic manager of
the Central railroad. returned yesterday
from New York where he has been in at
tendance on the meetings of the railroads
which have formed the Southern States
Freight Association.
The new association. he says, went into
business yesterday, the agreement dating
from Oct. q. Col. H. S. Haines, the new
commissioner, however, has not yet taken
up his new quarters in Atlanta.
The principal difference between the old
and the new contract lies in the fact that
no penalty or forfeit Is put up as a bond
to hold the roads down to a compliance
with it. 1t all depends now on question
of good faith between them as to whether
they hold to the rates and territories fixed
by the association. The Georgia road held
off a long time on account of the division
of territory which was not altogether sat
isfactory to Gen. Manager Scott.
There will be a meeting of a part of the
new association in Atlanta on Nov. 5 to
make some arrangements with regard to
the cotton business.

Lore aud Proposals.

There is a clever statistician who could
teach a thing or two TO the novelist
This siatistican has attempted 10 classify
the actions and methods of proposals, aud,
as result, has presented tabulated figures
extremely interesting to psychologists
Out of hundred cases thirtysix gentle
men take lady in arms, sixty-seven gen.
tlemen kiss lady on lips, four gentlemen
kiss lady on cheek, three gentlemen show
very good taste by kissing lady on eyes
and two gentlemen kiss lady on hand
1t is to be presumed these two out of
hundred are the timid, difident kind,
though it is possible that they might be
of the quietly sentimental nature. One
gentleman kisses lady on nose. 1t must
be added that the statistician is careful TO
insert the saving clause (by mistake.)
There is even a record of man kiss
ing a lady on edge of shawl, but thank
goodness, there is only one in hundred
and the chances are that this man is Pc
cuiar.
Seyenty.two hold lady's hand, seventeen
hold it very tightly, fourteen have Jumps

"Thauk God ~ Only seven out Of hun

music in the play, We suppose when the
villain appeals to heaven TO witness the
consuming fame of his affections for the
heart he plots to ruin, etc.
The behavior of the lady under the
circumstances is equally entertaining and
instructive. Out of hundred cases
eighty-one sink into the arms of gentle
men, sixty.eight rest their heads on gen.
teman's breast and only one sinks into
the arms of a chair; eleven clasp their
arms around the gentleman's neck, six
weep tears ofjoy silently and forty.four
weep tears aloud-whatever that means
seventy-two have eyes full of love nine
out of hundred rush from the room and
tell everybody. Only four are greatly
surprised and eighty-seven of hundred
knew that something was coming. Five

Only one of hundred struggles not TO be
kissed, while six kiss gentlemen first. If
