DEEDS HIS FARM TO GOD.
Answer which n Preacher Makes to an
Aged Couples Suit Charging Fraud.

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. "A peculiar deed
has been filed at Gainesville in which the
Rev. W. II. Kerr transfers a tract of farm
land to God the Father, Christ the Son
and the Holy Ghost for many mercies re-
ceived in hand, paid receipt whereof is
hereby acknowledged. on condition that
the farm is to be used for an orphans home
to be known as the Kerr Orphans Home"
and that the Rev. Mr.. Kerr and his family
are to be the Lords trustees and that the
land is still to be liable for Kerr's debts.
The reason for this peculiar deed has Just
been revealed by suit filed here by an aged
couple of the name of Cochran, members Of
Kerr's congregation, who charge that he
defrauded them out of the land in exchange
for a stock of goods which he said was
worth much more than its true value, and
that they were led into the trade by their
confidence in Kerr. They ask TO have the
trade set aside and the land restored to
them.
In tho bill filed by the Cochrans it is
charged that Kerr HI d no intention of de-
ing the land to the service of God. but
that he made the deed simply to protect
himself from the results of the fraud which
they allege he committed

TEXASS EMPRESS RATES.
State Railroad Commission Makes Serious
Reduction in Tariffs.

AUSTIN, Tex, Aug, 2.-The new tariff
OF express rates for this State, which was
promulgated by the Railroad Commission
last evening, is big reduction as compared
with existing rates. 1t is the first time
the Railroad Commission has exercised
authority in making express rates. The
companies affected are the Wells Fargo,
American and Pacific
The new tariff makes minimum Of IS
cents a hundred pounds for ten miles and
less on general merchandise, gradually
increasing with the mileage to the maximum
at 900 miles with a rate of $500 The pres
ont rates are: Minimum, 40 cents; maxi
mum, 81
An innovation in the new tariff, and one
not likely to he reished by the express
companies, is a graduated table of rates
to be charged for merchandise, so as to
fix maximum toll for all packa ges
weighing from one to 100 pounds for all
distances. II provides that packages rot
over one pound cannot take more than a rs
cent rate when the merchandise rate is
~ cents for 100 pounds The same applies
TO two-pound packages, but three-pound
package takes 30-cent rate when the 100
pound rate is Sl.6O. The weights are
gradually increased and the maximum
charge designated in each instance until
100 pounds is reached. Each local agent
is required to make ont complete reports
