LAWYERS ASK FOR THEIR FEE.
Aftermath of the Famous Belt Line
Litigation,

Atlanta, March 13-Messrs Lawton
& Cunningham of Savannah, T. A.
Hammond, surviving partner of N.
]. & T. A. Hammond, and Henry
A. Alexander of this city, have filed pc
tition in the Superior Court to require
the Atlanta and West Point Railroad
Company TO pay for their services in the
Belt Line case. The amount asked by the
attorneys is $17. 500. The case has been
set by Judge J. H. Lumpkin for a hearing
on March "A, the defendant company hav-
ing demured to the petition.
This is the aftermath of one of the most
interesting cases ever tried in Fulton
county. The Atlanta and West Point
Railroad was on the point of building a
belt line around Atlanta when it was on
joined upon the application of j. M. Alex
ander and other stockholders. The Su-
preme Court held that the railroad had no
authority to build the belt line and as a
result $30S COO was paid out to The stock
holders, being a dividend of % per cent 1t
is for saving this sum to the stockholders
that the railroad is asked to pay the fees

1T LOOKS PECULIAR.
And 1t Ought to Be Thoroughly In
vestigated.

Wotehourvine. Ga, March 12-Editor
Morning News. Does Chatham county
have the same trouble that most of the
counties have in regard to monthly pay
ment of common school teachers? The
Legislature of 1S9S-1S99 passed bill for
the monthly payment of a regular salary
to teachers, and yet never since the law
was made have they been paid as pre-
scented. Our school commissioner Mr.
Glenn, says the reason is that there is no
money, although the Governor is author,
lied to borrow it. should there be none
on hand. He says also, that every other
claim is paid before that OF the teachers.
Our county has had until lately, a balance
of nearly $1,000, for which repeated de-
mands have been made, and each time
has been put off There is still balance
due of 800. Now, can you throw any light
on this subject? Why does not the Gov
ernor borrow sufficient funds to carry out
the provisions of the law? What right has
the treasurer to use school funds to pay
other claims, and what is our commits
sioner thinking of to sit down and see
this done and make no protest? Why can
not money due a county for years be col
lected when payment is requested? Mr.
Editor, doesn't it look rather peculiar
and don't it need investigation

has not developed with any astonishing
rapidty. it must be remembered that the
first stone was discovered at Reitfontein

a6s.. of those found at Kimberley, and SIS.

total quantity of diamonds found in the
Transvaal in 1898 was 22s43 carats, val

luvial diggiugs are of liner quality than
those found. as at Kimberley, in vol

Unfortunately, the war has caused a dia-
mond crisis, and hundreds of diamond

NOT SUPERSTITION.

Miners Show Wisdom in Paying Heed to-
Certain Phenomena.
well, that isn't superstition; it's
reality and Coal Mine Inspector Den
man didn't seem bit pleased with the
suggestion that superstition might
sometimes be responsible for the ac-
tions of miners, says the Denver Post
Coal Miners he went on to say, ARE
not superstitious. Hear noises? OF
course they do, but do people suppose
those noises are imaginary? 1t beats
all how little is known generally about
coal mining. Folks get it into their
heads" the inspector continued, that
a man who will quit work in a certain
part of mine because he sees the rats
deserving that section is superstitious,
when, as a matter of fact, he simply
displays sound judgment. Very soon
after the rats quit sounds will be
heard, and later a slide follows.
What would have happened to the man
had he credited his fears to supersti-
ton by disregarding the exodus OF the
rats and the subsequent noises? Rats
are the first OF a mines Inhabitants to
realize danger, and then comes the
mule Man is the last. So it is only
natural that he should take as posi-
tive indications of trouble the actions
OF the Others and he should not be
regarded as a superstitious creature on
that account. After rats desert an en-
try it is next to impossible to get a
mule into it, not because the rats left
but because the mule realizes the dan
ger. Left to themselves rats or mules
would never be caught in slides in
mines, but it is different with men,
who will not follow the lead of the 9TH
er two"

THE PASTOR QUIT.



The Rev. W. Pope Pledger. pastor
Of the Methodist Episcopal church at
Beaumont, Texas, has resigned his
charge because of a storm of hostile
criticism which was brought about by
a recent act of his Last spring, it is
said, there was cheap excursion to
Monterey, Mexico, and the minister
and two deacons of his church took
advantage of the low rates. The an
nual bull fights were taking place at
the time. These exhibitions were given
on Sunday and We're attended by the
preacher, the deacons and many of the
excursionists-
When the party returned to Beau
mont storm of hostile criticism was
directed against Mr.. Pledger. He de-
c1ared he attended the fights to
broaden his fund of knowledge. and
not for the love of brutal sport. But
many memb ers of his parish demanded
that he acknowledge his error and re-
pentance publicly. which he refused to
do. In his sermon OF resignation last
Sunday he said:
There is a bold disposition on the
part Of many ministers to dictate to
their hocks what they shall eat, drink
and wear. They would narrow the life
down to reading the Bible and going
to preaching and Sunday school
TT is this class of ministers that
have produced a narrow-minded and
hide-bound church. II they had it in
their power, they would not allow the
Lord to save anybody except IN con-
formity with their notion of how such
a thing ought to be done.
These are the people who have
criticised me for going into saloons
and trying to win men for Christ.
They think a minister should carry
a great amount of dignity, wear a
clerical coat, a collar buttoned behind,
vest that buttons somewhere in the
regions out of sight (whether on the
side or at the back). and that he should
have a certain manner and wear a
certain expression of the facial of
which should go to say. I am the par
ish minister Such a minister may
serve the purpose of society functions,
out when it comes to reaching men and
leading souls to Christ. he is a dismal
failure I would rather be a first-c1ass
mule than be that kind of a preach
err
