MIR. COMER'S MESSAGE
HE WILL PRESENT HIS DISSENT
 ING OPINION.
At Meeting of Railroad Commission sn Montgomery Today. President is
 to Give His Side of Rate QueNttOu.

Birmingham, July 2.-(Special) At the reguisr monthly meeting of the tomorrow S,at n H1droad Hon Gommss'ph Conner, the President. will present a message. most likely, giving the dis senting opinion on the sub!eet ot rate establishments in Alabama.
 It will be remembered that at the meeting in May Messrs. w. c. Tuns- tall and ". T. Sanders. associate a decision practically. sustaining the railroads in their position that there was no readjustment of rates called sented to show that the iron highways were not earning more, if that, than d fair rate of interest on their invest ments ,t;,n in nas Aiabasa D President Conner was taken that he would present dis senting opinion, showing his conten tion for a similar rating in Alabama. at least. to that of Georgia. It. is un- derstood that the opinion Is to be giv- en at the session tomorrow. Mir. Co. mer has gone to Montgomery.
 It is understood that MT. Conner wilt make an effort to show that facts and figures which were presented were little misleading, He will attempt to show. so 1t is stated, that the railroads they are to be taxed and very high valuation when a demand is made up on them for lower freight rates. In his way of putting it. 1t is understood. he contends that when the railroads are asked to bear their part of the public burden they shirk as much of It as possible by assessing their prop erty at a ridiculousiy low figure. while when called upon to make equitable rates they claim to have vast sum invested on which they are not earn ing more than a small fraction of the legal rate of interest charged in this State. It is learned that Mir. Cotner actual assessment of railroad property for taxation in Alabama Is from one fourth to one-sixth of the valuation placed upon 1t when reporting to the Commission. It Is believed that he will show comparison of rates ip Ala bama and those in Georgia, taking the same class of modlties.
 According to the rumors, MT Conner will take issue with statements made by some of the most prominent rail- road men in the South, including Pres and Nashville Railroad; l.. Green, General Freight Agent of the Southern Railway and others.
 The opinion Is expressed by close friend of MT. Conner that tne docu- ment Is going to prove rather warm. It will be quite lengthy inasmuch as 1t contains many tables and figures and quotes at length the rulings and rates in effect in Georgia.
 It is understood that MT. Conner has given the subject considerable study while 1t is not intended the document Is going to have effect throughout the State. It is stated that the full report will fill not less than five or six col umns of the daily newspapers. If not more.

SOME PROMINENT MEN
Who Took a Chance and Won.

G. R. Clarke, in Chicago Tribune. The willingness to chance 1t Is, to q certain extent, d factor in success. There are numberless cases in which the giving up of a sure thing to follow the path of difficult uncertainties has proved the entrance to the road to wealth.
 The willingness to take chances, however. is not always the reckless course anG challenge to fate that 1t appears to be. Instead it is a putting of the known forces within against the unknown ones without. It Is a careful reckoning of the strength of desire, ambition and determination, putting them in their place as a factor against difficulty.

 If the observer considers that the moon Is 2.163 miles through, he will at once see that the craters which cover its surface are very much larger than any which are found on the earth. Some of them are indeed more than 100 miles across and their walls are 20,000 or more feet high.
