A SAD CASE.

In the Virginia Methodist Conference
almost whole day was consumed in
discussion over whether Rev. r. c. Gar
land. who has been in the ministry six
years, should be retired. His presiding
elder recommended that he be located be-
cause he was not efficient as minister,
due to lack OF education and early adj
vantages. No charges were preferred
against him, all testifying to his high
character and to his usefulness. After
long discussion, Mr. Garland himself
told his story, which was that he had
been felt called of God to preach. By
working at the Tredgar iron works he
made money to send himself to school,
At that time he did not know his A. B
C's. After going to college for year he
had entered the Virginia conference. He
had been successful and in one year he
had converted one hundred and ten souls
BY a vote of SO to 81 he was retired
The vote shows there was wide diff
to the proper course to pursue. The fac
that the man, who did not know hi
A, B, C's when he was converted, hat
worked in the iron works to educate him
self, and also sent himself to college
added to the eloquent proof OF his ef
fciency that in one year one hundre'
souls hal been converted under his min

THEY CLING TO PASSES.

By vote of 10 to 6S the Georgia House
defeated the bill to make it illegal fol
any public officer to accept free passes
from railroads. 1t is a righteous meas
ure and will pass next time. In his
argument in support of the bill, MIR. Hall
said:
eff you give a scent cigar to a juror
who is sitting on case, it yltiates ano
throws aside the verdict of the whole
twelve. How much more will these valu-
able privileges, worth hundreds of dol
lars, affect those who are called on te
sit in Judgment on great interests?'

II Mr.. Vernon Darnell-(a good old

name TO D,Arnalle. his singing would be
more popular in these parts. In North
Carolina no man is expected to change
his name unless he has done something
wrong and no woman until she gets mar
ried, Mr.. Darnells change of name TO a
Frenchy name is the only thing about
him that leaves an unpleasant taste.

Among the Railroads.

The Alabama Railroad Commission
finds itself in a position similar to that
which the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion occupies. 1t possesses nothing more
than advisory powers. 1t may make rates
but however just or badly needed they
be. the commission has no power to en-
force them. The Alabama Railroad Com
mission, like the Interstate Commerce
Commission, is tired of being thus sub
iected to the scorn, defiance and ridicule
of the corporations which need actual
regulation more and more the longer
they are permitted to disregard the
rights of the public and snap their
fingers at laws, State and Federal, which
were enacted with the intention of re-
straining their power within just and
reasonable bounds. The Alabama com
mission in it's recent report calls atten-
ton to its present helpless condition,
and asks for power to institute suits and
enforce its orders by mandamus and in
functions. This appeal should not be
made in vain. Unless the railroads have
captured Alabama, lock- stock and bar
rel, it will not be made in vain.-At-

Once al old Apache Indian when
asked the question why his people
painted their faces told this little leg
end:
Long ago when men were weak and
animals were big and strong a chief OF
the red men who lived in these noun
tains went out to get a deer. for his
people We're hungry.
after walking all day be saw a deer
and shot at II. but the arrow was
turned aside and wounded a mountain
lion, which was also after the deer.
When the lion felt tho sting Of the ar
row, he jumped up and bounded after
the man. who ran for bis life.
He was almost exhausted. and
when he felt his strength giving way
he fell 10 the ground, calling on the big
bear. who. you know. is the graudfa-
ther Of men, TO save him.
THE big bear heard the call and saw
that to save the man he had TO act
quickly. so be scratched his foot and
sprinkled his blood over the man.
Now, you must know that no ami
NAL will eat OF the bear or taste OF his
blood. So when the lion reached the
man he smelIed the blood and turned
away, but as he did 50 his foot scraped
the face OF the man. leaving the marks
OF his ella ws on the blood smeared face.
when the man found that he was
unlnjured. he was 80 thankful that he
left the blood TO dry on his face and
never washed IT at AL, but left IT until
II peeled of
where the claws of the lion scraped
il OF there were marks that turned
brown IN the sun. and where the
blood stayed on It was lighter. Nov
oil men paint their faces that way
with blood and scrape 1t OF in streaks
when they hunt Or go to war"
