Hume EnjOined From Opera t.
ing in Maury County.
Judge Williams Renders an Exhaust
i've Decision in the Case Against
Mr.. Leland Hume.
Franchise in Maury County is AbsO-
lutely Void.-An Appeal Taken
to Supreme Court.

The case of the State of Tennessee
vs.. Leland Hume, Lessee, or what
is better known as the telephone
case, was heard eX parte by Judge
Williams in the Circuit Court this
week, the defendant Hume failing
to answer. The decree was made
against Mr.. Leland Hume, from
which he appealed. Judge Will
liams read very exhaustive de-
cision, from which we quote.
1t was found that in the year 1887,
the Cumberland Telephone and
Telegraph Co. erected a general
telephone exchange in Columbia,
and since then have been carrying
on that business in said city; that
the said company is a body cor
porate under the laws of Kentucky.
Said company has had valuable
franchises granted it by Tennessee
and the City of Columbia, in the
nature of franchises, etc.
And it further appears that in
September, 1897, said Cumberland
Company, leased its lines, poles,
and exchange to the said Hume,
who, since that time has been
uSurping the corporate franchises
of said company in the City of Co
lumbia and County of Maury.
And it further appears that said
lease was executed by said company
for the fraudulent purpose of ell
abling the company, by protect, to
evade its obligations, to furnish to
the citizens of these cities and cOun-
ties, service at the same rate which
said company was giving to Maury
And it further appears that the
said lease was ultra wires and db'
SoLuteLy void; made for the fraud
ulent purpose of enabling said com
pany to evade the statute against
discrimination in its charges, anC
that said Hume we'll knows that the
lease was made for this fraudulent
purpose.
5 And it further appears that the
7 said Hume is illegally exercising
corporate privileges, franchises and
powers, and acting as corporation
and usurping these powers solely
for the fraudulent purpose OF aiding
q and abetting said company in evad
y ing the laws of the State, to thu
: great detriment of the general pub
n lie.
. 1t is therefore ordered, adiudgeC
: and decreed, that the lease executed
by the Cumberland Company t.
: Leland Hume, be and the same i
u hereby declared to be ultra viret
and void, fraudulent in fact and il
+ law, and that the same be cancelled
" and that the said Hume be per
o petually enjoined from operating
s. said corporate powers, privileges
g franchises, lines or connections o
!. the said Cumberland Telephone an

SORROW and
DISAPPOINTMENT.

This is one great problem which
so sorely perplexes many thousands
the seeming superior positions and
prosperity Of the wicked over the
righteous in the affairs of this world.
Men who have not the truth, do not
know God, nor regard him; live as
they list, regardless of His claims
upon them or the claims of their
fellow men; and yet, they prosper
abundantly, and have authority
over the righteous! "These are
the ungodly who prosper in the
world" They have more than the
heart can wish. They are not per-
picked nor troubled as others are.
"There are no bands in their death"
We look out over the world and
how often it seems as though the
righteous were forsaken, and God
did not care for them! The godly
poor, ground under the heel of OPP
preston; in fiery furnaces and lions
dens, and tho worshipers of false
gods upon thrones; truth forever on
the scaffold, wrong forever on the
throne. What can we make. of it?
How can our rock be superior to
their rock, and these things be so?
The good often prish, while the bad
survive. They suffer loss and be-
reavements, while Others do not
The pure and useful die, while the
impure and useless live. How is
the Christians Rock superior?
We know that these things are so.
How can they be explained? 1t
must be sol God is just. "His
scales swing down even in the end. >"
There are turns and changing ways
along the line which marks the
boundaries between time and eter-
nifty. 1t is true, the good suffer with
the bad, but God does not count so
much upon the length of this life as
we do. He counts upon eternity
and its duration. He does not make
much of either wealth or poverty /;
indeed, he makes nothing of them.
Long life, and short life are the
same to Hin. He counts upon
character If that is good, it will
make the eternities delightful. No
affiicton, for the present seemeth
joyous, but rather grevious.
These light Affections, which are
but for moment, work out for US a
: far more exceeding and eterna
weight of glory, while we look not
at the things which are seen, but at
; the things which are not seen; for
: the things which are seen are tenn
: poral, but the things which are not
|: seen are eternal. Amid sorrow and
! bereavement and disappointments
! we can trust God. The clouds we
dread are full of mercies. The bet
: ter land will have sweet flower
3 The eyes that weep will have glo
rious visions, for the light of His
!, presence will point, through these
II tears, with flaming bows ofpromises
. beautiful and assuring IA his token
u set in the cloud. Beyond the cloud
3 we have the sweet assurance of M
more sorrow nor disappointments
We all have our sorrow anC
troubles; even the brightest anC
l. seemingly the happiest faces Otter
y have the saddest hearts. The worlC
=, to-day is full Of sad and sorrowinI
n hearts, on account OF some sorrow
10 or disappointment. But some da!
IS sail clouds will have silvery lin
ee ings;" then the righteous will holt
q superior positions over the wicked
ID and sorrow and disappointment
10 will be no more. H. l.. G.

MHome. Sweet Home.n

Rev. ]. William Jones, in an adj
dress before the National Sunday
School Convention, Atlanta, Ga,
related the following incident: I'm
the early spring of 1858, when the
Confederate and Federal armies
were confronting each other on the
opposite hills of Stafford and
Spottsylvania, two bands CHANGED
one evening, at the same hour, to
begin to discourse sweet music on
either bank of the river. A large
crowd of the soldiers of both armies
gathered to listen to the music, the
friendly pickets not interfering, and
soon the bands began to answer
each other. First the band on the
northern bank would play Star
Spangled Banner Hail Columbia
or some other national air, and at
its conclusion the boys in blue
would cheer most Justify. And then
the band on the southern bank
would respond with Dixie or Bon
ME Blue Flag or some other South
ern melody, and the boys in grey
would attest their appreciation with
an 'old Confederate YELL Blu
presently one of the bands struck
up, IN sweet and plaintive tones
which were waited across the beauti
full Rappahannock, and were caugh
up at once by the other band anC
swelled into grand anthem whIcl
touched every heart, Home, Swee
Homel' At the conclusion Of thi
piece there went up simultaneou
shout from both sides of the river
cheer following cheer, and thOs
hills, which had so recently re
sounded with hostile guns, echoes
and re-echoed the glad acclaim.
, chord had been struck responsive t
which t5sS hearts of enemies
! enemies theR-could beat in unison
, and on both sides of the river,
something down the soldiers cheek I;
Washed of the stains Of powder"

Ingersoll may harbor in his breast
no revolutionary purpose. 1 am in
clined to believe that he has moth
ing in view beyond the accumula-
tion of money and the ratification
of his mad passion for vulgar noto-
riety. But the doctrine he teaches,
falling, as it does, upon the ears of
millions of ignorant and already dis
satisfied people, if not counteracted,
is destined to bring forth an uhprece-
dented harvest of debauchery, law
lessness and crime.
AS. authority upon this subject,
every intelligent person would put
James Anthony Froude immeasura-
bly, above Robert Ingersoll. In a
recent work he says: "All that we
call modern civilization, in sense
which deserves the name, is the Wis
tble expression of the transforming
power of the gospel"
Gladstone, the most colossal man
of modern England, is persistent in
declaring that all that is best in the
civilization of this century is trace
able directly or indirectly to the
gospel of the Man of Gallilee.
Bismark, the wisest and greatest
living German, is a diligent and de.
vout reader of the Bible, and says
that he "cannot understand how any
one can endure existence unsustain'
ed by belief in its teachings"
How foolish to turn away from the
mature wisdom of these majestic
J men to listen to the rhetorical vapOr'
ings and silly ribaldy of an infide
} hireling.
