as one OF the cIlprits responsible for

cision the mayor, accompanied BY his
bondsmen and an attorney, appeared
ct the criminal court bull ding, where
Mayor Harrison formally surrendered
himself to Sheriff Barrett and thus
nullifed the bond OF $4,000 given In
court Tuesday to secure the mayors
freedom from literal custody. Notice
was simultaneon sly served on the
states attorney that an application

carelessness on the part of the railroad company stands on the same footing as passenger who pays, his fare, was de- cided by the Supreme Court against tl.e free passenger. The case was that of the Northern Pacific Railway Company against Louise H. Adams and Frank H. Adams. heirs of Jay H. Adams, in 1905 an attorney of Spokane. Wash.
 Mir Adams was riding on a pass which exempted the railroad company from lia- bility in case of accident. The Federal Circuit Court for the District of Wash ington awarded damages to the extent of $14,0O0 and the Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed this juds- ment
 The decision of the Supreme Court was handed down by Justice Brewer and re- versed by the lower courts. The Su- preme Court held that there could be ho higher measure of duty to the heirs tha1 to Adams himself and that there was nothing in public policy to prevent a con tract between a common carrier and a free passenger exempting the carr cr from liability in case of accident. Ad- ams voluntarily chose to accept the priv ilege offered. and. having accepted that privilege, the court said, could not repu- diate its conditions &

 or to be supernatural personage?' MT. Gay was asked.
 Not at all. ell Is very human. like all prophets. of like passions with our selves. He has no gift that any Godly

STUDENTS IN REVOLT.
TROUBLE AT METHODIST COL
 LEGE AT owENToN.
Tbirty-nine Boys Decline to Receive Punishment for Taking Holiday Washington's Birthday.
 President West
 Rsticent,

Birmingham, Feb. 26.-(SpecIal)-Thir- ty-nine students at the Owenton College, a Methodist conference college near here, on yesterday refused to obey mandates of the faculty and there is trouble brew ing at that institution. While efforts are being made to adjust differences between the faculty and the student body. there is no forecasting of the result of these efforts.
 The faculty did not see fit to give the students a holiday last Monday. Thirty nine students desired to celebrate Wash ington's birthday and these marched of the campus in a body. Thursday is reGu- lar punishment day at the Owenton Col lege. and yesterday the storm broke forth. When it was announced that the punishment was that the boys who had taken French leave would have to walk up and down on the campus, guns on shoulders. for from three to six hours each, there was remonstrance. The fa- culty was informed that the punishment would not be accepted and the faculty replied that either their orders would be obeyed or there would be wholesale dis missals. The college has about 125 stu dents, the ages of whom range from 12 to 2 years There was much excitement at the college this morning, and it is under stood that the students have announced that they intend to be firm.
 President Anson West today said that no one has been expelled from the school. He did not care for an airing of the mat ter in the papers. The faculty will hold meeting at once. and it Is not improb- able that the entire matter will be straightrned out.

SOUTHERN PROGRESS
SECTION HAS MORE MONEY
 THAN EVER BEFORE.
Agricultural Prosperity in Connec- tion With Flourishing Indus trial Interests-BankersG Give
 Their View of Situation

Baltimore, Feb. 6-(SpeciaD-Th value of the past seasons cotton crop, about $6JO. .0O0. GOO, as compared with the value. $325, ,CO0,t00, of the crop of the season of 1S9S-99 added to the large grain crop in the South. has placed that section in bet ter financial shape than ever before. It now has agricultural prosperity in con- nection with fiourishing industrial inter ests. This is reflected in a mass of letters from Southern bankers published iR this weeks issue of The Manufacturers Rec ord in reply to inquiries made of them for their views:
 | CD On the general Southern business situation, present and prospective.
 | @ On the improvement in agricultural conditions as tending to place the farm | ing interests of the South on solid basis for general prosperity, lessening their de- pendence upon crop liens in making the coming crops and resulting in a decrease of farmers indebtedness on personal cred- | it and mortgages.
 | (S' On the proba bility of increased pros- perity resulting in greater activity in building operations, in general trade, in municipal improvement and in more local investments in manufacturing enterprises. The responses were prompt and gratify- ing. Their general tenor is of decidedly positive character. There Is agreement of opinion that finances in the South are up- on a most healthy and substantial bass. Increased banking capital is recorded. larger deposits than ever before are shown in national. State and savings banks and, at the same time, much local money Is going into new industrial en- terprises or into the enlargement of exist ing ones. Many municipalities have been infused with the spirit of progressiveness able to find expression in the general financial prosperity and on many sides are definite plans for the betterment of city properties and the improvement of streets, schools and roadways.
 Prosperity in the South is no longer a matter of prophecy, writes one banker. It Is an existing condition which one may see and feel on every side and 1t is at tributed immediately t1 the high price 1 for cotton received by the producer and to the immense gains made by the actual holders of spot cotton. Back of it all though, is the wisdom gained by the | farmers in the situation five or six years ago when much cotton was raised at a loss. Then the farmers were compelled to practice economy of the strictest sort in all their methods and to turn their att tentlon to diversified crops. Compulsion | in many instances had become choice and, consequently the opening of the season found many farmers ready to take the best advantage of the high prices of cot ton. Now they are paying cash for their supplies instead of subjecting themselves l to lien merchants, they have relieved themselves from their indebtedness or have reduced 1t to a marked degree they are swelling the bank deposits and in some communities the dependence upon crop liens and mortgages to make the coming crop will be confined almost en-
