JIM BAKER THE REAL WRONG MAN DISMISSED; RIGHT
 MAN SHOWED UP. Two Men by Same Name in Court of
 United States Commissioner and One Wanted Made Bond.

The real Jim Baker was in the couri of United States Commissioner John A Elmore yesterday and was charged with retailing liquor without license.
 On Wednesday another Jim Baker ot Tallapoosa County was arraigned before Commissioner Fillmore under charge coincident with the charge brought against the Jim Baker of yesterday. Ths first Jim Baker was sorely puzzled wheE the warrant in the hands of the Com missioner told him that Jim Baker ol Tallapoosa County was charged witl making whiskey without having paid the necessary license therefor, all of which the warrant said was against the peace and diginty of the United States of America.
 T am Jim Baker of Tallapoosa Coun- ty'' said the first Jim Baker. but Your Honor, l have made no whiskey and an an honest farmer. Proofs? l have them"
 The witnesses summoned in the case to testify against Jim Baker, were called into the court room.
 That thar ain't Jim Baker" said a long, lean witness. as he chewed thought fully on a quid of tobacco.
 Jim Baker what I knows air a good looking man."
 The other witnesses concurred with he of the lengthy stature and big chew and Jim Baker, The First was dismiss ed.
 Yesterday morning a young man evi- dently from the country strode into the office of the Commissioner and asked for Judge Elmore. Commissioner Fillmore was shown him.
 T am the real Jim Baekr." he said "Ecce homo! l am from Tallassee and 1 understand that warrant is standing against me for making whskey. 1 have come to answer the charge"
 Well. the witnesses have returned home." explained the astonished Con- missioner, for incidents of this kind don't happen often in reconsideration. and I'll have to postpone your hearing
 That's all right Judge. said Jim Baker The Second. 'Ill waive examina- ton and you can fix my bond"
 The bond was fixed at s1o0 and James, the Real was taken as his own bonds man. He thanked the Commissioner and boarded a train for Ta,lassee.
 The deputy marshals in the court room looked at each other, but said nothing aloud.

the life and powers of corporations" sai, senator Powell.
 Referred to Dictionary. Do not amendment and extension sometimes mean the same thing?" Sena tor Morrow asked.
 respectfully refer the gentleman rom Jefferson to the dictionary" wa, Senator Powell's retort. a twenty-year clause in a charter l: amended to read forty years, is that al amendment or an extension?' Senator Morrow inquired.
 Tt Is both," said the Senator from Butler. but that is not to the point"
 He then read section of the Consti- tuition to show that a law such as the one proposed was prohibited.
 senator Spragins was recognized.
 This bill seeks to amend the general law relating to the extension of the char ters of general corporations said he
 by so altering the existing statute as To permit the renewal of all sorts of cor porauons. If these corporations want an extension of their privileges let them go before the Probate Courts and get their rights as other corporations do, The constitution permits the alteration and amendment of charters; but how? By extending the period of life of corpora tons! No; but by operation of the gen eral laws of the State.''
 The clear object of this bill and oth- CTS accompanying it, said Senator Pow ell. "is to secure permission for the con solidation of all kinds of interests and the formation of all sorts of trusts.
 Shoud Be on Same Footing.
 T cannot real the Constitution so as to give corporations the power which this bill seeks to confer" said Senator Hogue of Perry. ''I am not opposed to corpo- rations on general principles. They are formed elsewhere for the sake of oper- ating in this State, and the State Is not getting the benefits it should from them. but would put all corporations on the same footing"
 Senator Lancaster of Elmore expressed himself as favorable to the bill
 To Senator Bostick of Jackson. the measure appeared to be one tending to enlarge in a dangerous manner the power of corporations in the State.
 Senator Oliver of Chiffon, declared the result of the debate had been confusion worse confounded." and moved to defer further consideration of the bill for the present. but his motion was tabled,
 Senator Thomas of Barbour expressed himself as in serious doubt as to the constitutionality of the bill and urged that no precipitate action be taken in the matter. He held that the measure before the Senate was not sufficiently clear and explicit. and that the Senators were asked to vote on bill not fully understood.
 A motion by Senator Oliver to adjourn was lost and the bill was put upon its passage. It was passed. 21 to 5, Senators Bostick, Hogue Johnston, Powell and Spragins voting in the negative.
 The Senate then adjourned until 10:30 O clock today.

Why. Willie. what does this mean?' inquired the president.
 The president. replied the boy, 'be- gan drawing out money on the sly. so the cashier skipped with the rest"
 You don't mean to say that you have taken all the money that was in there, do you?" demanded the president
 Sure" answered the cashier. You didn't ever hear of a cashier letting any other officer of bank get ahead of him. did you? We'll I guess not. Hes the fellow that knows what's going on, and when the other officers begin fooling with the funds he just cleans out the bank every time. That's where he has the best of it,
 My boy" said the president. admir- ingly, some day you may be a great financier but first you have few things to learn. Never wait for the depositors to prosecute when you clean out a bank. Now come with me to the woodshed.'
 But the cashier protested.
 If there's no prosecution he urged. "and the president will agree not to tam per with the cash. I'll see that the bank resumes payment.

 I'll put in my seven pennies and two- cent piece said the boy"
 His mother dropped in two dimes. and each of his sisters a nickel, and the bank was started.
 During the next few weeks numerous deposits were made and all ran smoothly. Then one day the father found himself short of change and abstracted a dime from the bank for carfare. The cashier. however, had a great idea of the respon- abilities of his position. and he detected the shortage within an hour and took l what was left. The next morning the president under took to give the cashier another lesson in financiering.
 Suppose one of the depostors wished to draw out some money, Willie.' he said, what would you do?" For answer the boy simply pointed to the bank, on which this sign was dis played:
