Another bit of magisterial assininity has just taken place in New York. Tn brief, Mrs. Young walked into an ofnce where Mrs. Morgan was em- ployed as a stenographer and shot her in the back with q pistol. dangerously Nounding her. It was deliberate at- tempt to murder, but when Mrs. Young was carried before the Magistrate Steinart, the wounded woman refused to, prosecute. whereupon the Nagis- trate discharged the would-be mur- deress. on condition that she would leave the State. Commenting on the case The Savannah Mornings News says:
 The onlooking lawyers at the hear ing said they had heard of vagrants magistrates and of crooks being kept north of Fulton street, but that they had never before seen woman ac- eused of attempted murder banished from the State as substitute for le- gal prosecution. No doubt pme sur prising things are done in the magis- frate's courts in New York IS well as like courts in some other cities of the country.
 New York has some great and ex- perienced lawyers but they evidently ? don't know all that Is 10 be known. They didn't know that magistrate had power to ignore an attempt at murder and free the criminal on con dition that she would take herself ana gun to another State. Whether ahe goes or not Is her own affair it would seem, for if she refuses to em- grate we don't understand that the Magistrate has power to have her ar rested. We don't know. though, for strange things are done in the name ,pg Justice in New York,

 The editor of the esteemed Selma Times had it from what he says was "a most reliable source" that Governor Jelks was juggling with the figures and that the statement of his excellency that upwards of $750,0OO was on hand at the Capitol was not a true state ment of fact, Naturally the article in The Times attracted attention. It was a direct challenge to Governor JeIks: The Governor accepts the challenge ana presents an array of figures to suostan- tlate hts claim that Alabama is on the nigh ground of prosperity. It is now up to The Times to disclose the name of It's reliable authority.

Ten years more will bring a change in this section of Alabama, and 1t does not take even the son %f prophet to see 1t. Ten years have wrought wond- CTS already, but the next ten will show still better farming. still better class of laborers, for the negro Is getting more unreliable every year, and soon all. Ten years then will bring im-

 The grand jury has resolved itself into a special committee to see that the public roads are in better condi- tion at the next term of court. This IS a patriotic step and may result in some temporary improvement, but the sys- tenn of working our roads will have to be changed before much lasting good will be accomplished. Our public road system is out of date.

 Eiated over the action of the South erh cotton Association in Asheville, N. .i, rrestdent w. H. Seymour, of the Aiaoama division of that organization, fuTned yesterday after attending the .anous meeting. He is convinced of ,,..s rns wisdom of fixing the minimum price or cotton this year at II cents for ne says he believes the reports which IeTe submitted by the various states aapout the prospective cotton yield jus tny the demand
 The reports showed the crops to be sufprisingly short in all the States, said MT: Seymour While the mini mum mum price for cotton was pvt at II cents It was generally believed by a majority of those present in Asheville .nat the planter. by holding to his cot IF cents"
 According to the Alabama President, II was the consensus of opinion at Asheville. also that when the distress mafning could be sold at consider ably higher figure than II cents: He added that the spinners have shown that they could consume great deal more cotton this year than the 1905 yield combined with the surplus of last years large crop.
 President Seymour reitsfated his opinion of the great influence of the Southern Cotton Association in spite of the fact that there was hardly any appreciable effect on the market by the announcement of the reports com piled at Asheville. The executive com mitteemen of the organization were not claimed, the spectators whose inter- ests are inimical to the cotton growers made careful preparation to forestall the effect.

 Mir. Miles was accompanied to Mo- bile by J. Lee Holloway, an ardent Pythian of Montgomery. Mir. Hollo- way remained in Mobile in order to go with Grand Prelate Jacob D.

Annrtment Houser Needed

What Montgomery needs more than anything else" remarked real estate agent, lis three or four modern apart rnent houses where one room, two rooms or a suite of rooms might be secured by young men or by small fam lilies.
 something must be done to house and care for the people who are daily coming to Montgomery to reside. Con- tractors are building houses all over the city and in the suburbs and yet the cry is for more houses. There does not seem to be a sufficient number of houses to go around.
 Some few families have been driven to hotels and boarding houses by req son of the difficulty in securing domes. tic help, but I judge from the demand for houses that the main reason the hotels and boarding houses are so well patronized by families is that the mum ber- of rented houses is not large enough to meet the demand.
 Apartment houses would remedy these conditions and I am of the opin- ion that they would be filled as soon as they were completed. It has seemed to me that here is an opportunity for a good investment "~# ..

He was greeted with a. bray of an ass

Hymns You Ought to Know
SOLDIERS OF THE CROSS.
BY George Duifield.


George Dufiield, Carlisle, Pa, Sept
-, 1SlS-Bloomfield, n. j., July &, 1888
came OF family of American hymn wri
tiers. He was Presbyterian pastor il
Brooklyn, in Philadelphia, in Michigan
and Illinois. He is buried in Detroit
The hymn for which, above all others
he is famous, was the outcome of the
Philadelphia revival of 1858. 1t was
written at the conclusion OF a sermon
and it quickly found its way all over the
English world and into German, Latin
and other translations. The author says
that he first met it, after its introduction
as the favorite song OF the Army of the
James, in 1861
Stand up!-stand up for Jesus!
Ye soldiers of the cross;
Lift high its royal banner,
1t must not suffer loss;
From victory unto victory
His army shall he lead.
Till every foe is vanquished,
And Christ is Lord indeed.
Stand up!-stand up for Jesus!
The trumpet call obey;
Forth to the mighty conflict,
In this his glorious day;
"Ye that are men, now serve him."
Against unnumbered foes:
Let courage rise with danger,
And strength to strength oppose.
Stand upl-stand up for Jesus!
Stand in his strength alone;
The arm OF flesh will fail yOu-
Ye dare not trust your own;
Put on the gospel armor,
And, watching unto prayer,
Where duty calls, or danger,
Be never wanting there.
Stand up!-Stand up for Jesus!
The strife will not be long;
This day, the noise of battle,
The next, the victor's song;
To him that OvercOmeth,
A crown of life shall be;
He with the King of Glory
Shall reign eternally!
