is scrap of history from the life of King Tzziah. He entered the throne at the age of sixteen and ruled as king fifty-two years His reign was 8 success in the development of Ju- dea. The key to his success WAS in the fact that, he feared Zoan in all his administration. This is nc iso- lated case where young man puts himself under the leadership of Zoan and becomes attached to the object of hls worship. That he makes life a success, for it IS in this, that the young man learns to practice those God given traits of character; such as promptness, honesty and feeling of sympathy for all humanity. These go to e.evate and gives man his proper place as leader in any un- dertaking.
 This is indeed a lesson to young men. 1t learns them to look for higher heights and fear God, not$in servile fear of punishment here and hereafter, but in that filial way where God is all and life is made a success.

1T IS NO GOOD, CIRCUIT JUDGE 4. B, GRACE THIS MORNING so
 RULES IN THE COTTON ORDINANCE As Passed by City council-In Conflict With Present Law
 On Writ of Certiorari

This (Monday) morning in the Jefferson circuit court Judge A. B. Grace was busy trying the case rel atiye to the cotton weighers' ordi- nance on a wlit of certiorari.
 The issue in the case was the or dinance passed by the city council at it's last regular meeting, which was to the effect that the city weighers could charge 5 cents per bale for weighing cotton and 10 cents for issuing each certificate. The ordinance vas brought before the court in pursuance to a writ of certiorari applied for by Prosecuting Attorney Sorrells.
 Judge Grace, after hearing the arguments presented by counsel, rendered bis decision, annuling the ordinance as passed by the city council; for the reason that il was in direct conflict with the law as en. acted by the last legislature.
 The gist of the decision is that the law, as passed by the legislature, embraces the weighing, marking and issuance of certificates. These may not be specifically set out ir the legislative act, but that is what it is intended to convey. The ordi- nance ss passed last Monday night by the couEcl was in direct conflict with tue act of tbe Iast legislature,
 Tuesdays Graphic of last weel contained the ordinance in full a' passed by the council. The samt appeared in an article captioned "A Straight Game.
 The farmers can now, since Judge Grace's ruling, bring their cotton and have it handled, weighed ant certificates issued to them accord ing to the law at 5 cents per bale fol this and the next two months.
