THAT PRIMARY Ian.

I! No man ever reached that ideal
Istate of perfection which his
friends and neighbors expected of
:him. No man, or set of men ever
enacted law, which met with the
approval of every man, woman
and child, in the community where
! the law was rigidly enforced. Ii is
an utter impossibility for all men
to arrive at the same conclusion on
any one proposition. So long as
men are rational beings and think
for themselves there will be diff.
ference of opinion. The new direct
primary law Is no exception to the
foregoing statement, 1t has its
friends and its foes, its good and
perhaps its bad features but after
all is said, for and against the new
law, we believe it is founded in
reason and backed by strong and
powerful public opinion.

Train scheduIe Changes.

There will be general sEakeup in the passenger train schedules of the Western and, Louisville @nd Nashville Railroads within the next few weeks, January [, 1907, being the day set for the new timecards to take effect. The figures are not official as yet, the roads mentioned waiting on the changes to be made by the Southern Railway, but from figures given by President c. A. Wickersham and General Passenger Agent J. P Billups of the Western Railroad wIio were here yesterday. the following will come pretty Jose to being some of the new changes.
 TO begin with 1t is now practically certain that the Southern Railway will discontinue train No. 97. the New York and New Orleans mail tue In Mont gomery at SIT a. m. To fill the place of this train the Western Railroad will inaugurate a new train, No. S9. to leave Atlanta about 4 o'clock in the morning and arrive in Montgomery about ) o'clock. This will be companion traia to No 40, which now leaves Montgom- cry for Atlanta at 9:15 a. m. Under the new schedule that train will leave one hour sooner. Train No. 33, the To- cal passenger train now arriving from Atlanta at 6:20 D. m..- will reach Mont gomery one hour later. Train No. 3T. now leaving for Selma at 9:35 p. m" will leave twenty-five minutes after the arrival of train No. 33, getting out for Selma at 7:45 p. m. This will give the people of Selma and along that road the opportunity of spending the day in. Montgomery and reaching their homes by 9:45 D. m. instead of l1:4" D. m.
 At present this Selma train has t" wait in Montgomery until the arrtval of train No. 37 from Atlanta, due at 920 D. m., and as this train ls usual ly from two to three hours late, itputs the Selma people at home after mid- night.
 Train No. s5 due from Atlanta at 1O35 a. m. will be put back two hours, reaching Montgomery at 12:3j D. m. The Louisville and Nashville train No. 1 leaving for New Orleans at Il;15 a. m. gets the Eastern connection of this train and while the Louisville and Nashville schedules have not been completed, the supposition is that train No. i will leave for New Orleans at D. m., to get the TransContiRental connection of the Western train arriv- ing at 12:35. D. m. The other Trans Continental connection of the South ern. Western and Louisville and Nash : vile will make a material change Of the leaving time of the Louisville and Nashville train Tor New Orleans. The Western train No. 37. brings the Eas- tern connection to Montgomery at 9:20 D. m., and will be put back about two hours The Louisville and Nashville . train No. gets the connection of this train and leaves for New Orleans at 935 D. m.. and will probably leave at II :35 p. m, to get the connection of this train.

Business, which is of enormous proportions. bids far to eclipse previous records, 2 significant feature being the demand for high grade goods.

Marine Nemn.

The shipment of corn from Mobile to Mexico Is largely on the decrease The steamship HellaS. which IS now loading for Progrcsso. will take only one car load of corn.
 Regarding the situation, a gentleman associated with the office of Corry. Santa Cruz and Horton. ship brokers and steamship agents. which firm has been doing a great deal of Mexican business. had the following to say:
 There may be many excuses for the slack corn shipments to Mexico. hut most of this business has been divert ed to Galveston, and with 1t has gone large shipment of general cargoes, consisting of machinery and general merchandise. It appears to me that there has been a slasb'ng of rates and Galveston seems to have got the best of 1t. The rate out of Mobile now, believe. Is about oight cents a bushel on corn.
 Tt is possible that Galveston has provided better facilities for hand ling the business. Maybe Mexican peo- pie are interested in a new llne be- tween that port and Progresso. where nose of the Mobile business has been going There is a regular line too. al- ready established, between those two places
 ''I don't think there is anything wrong with our corn market Another thing to be remembered Is that when the corn crop in Mexico gets ripe, the government runs up the duty on our corn. and the shipments necessarily stop. When the Mexican corn crop is not good. We ship a lot of 1t. l don't think the Mexicans are as optimistic about their crop as we are about ours

REvRRsEp DECIsTnN.

House of Lord Holds For Religions
 Edlu"atiOn In EnEIand.
 London. Dec. 14-ThH House of Lords has reversed the decision of the appeal court in the West Riding case. in re- gard to the payment or religious ln- struction and holds that the county councils ar ebound to pay for the whole religious as well as secu- lar.
 The law lords thus uphold the origi- nal interpretation of the act of 1902. under which the "passave resisters. 9 headed by Dr. Clifford. were fined and imprisoned.
 Had .the decision been otherwise. the levy of rates for the payment of reig- lous instruction would have been ille- gai and the noa-conformists would have gained one of the main points for which the President of the board of |education, Mir. Birrell. Is fighting, with the education bill and would thus have made them fore or less indifferent to the fate of the educational measure

I doubted this statement Surely Twin as long as have and seeing the May days and Christmas go Ey in such rapid succession, I would have found this out before this late day. Well. [ went first and looked at 1906 md surS enough the first day of May anI Christmas came on Tuesday. Then 1 turned to 1907 and saw that May 1st and Christmas came on Wednesday Getting down all of my old caleada-s I looked back for several years ana find that the rule applied r. every In- stance. l worried about this seeming -} ly peculiar phenomenon sor some time until got to figuring end then discovered that there are exactly thir- ty-four weeks from May 1 to Decem Der 25: so of course, May I and De- cember 25 are bound to occur on the same day of the week the same year just as Christmas and New Years do. and just as Ash Wednesday, follows. Mardi Gras. Incidentally. I have q surprise for that young fellow. I am going to bet him that there are periods when May l and December 25 do not occur on the same day of the week. That period will be from Christmas to May 1 during leap year. May will then come on Wednesday if Christmas occurs on Tuesday, because february will have one more day, making 1t just eighteen weeks and one day from Christmas tos May day.

 Mobile Dec. it
 The month of December has been a record breaker for the port of Mobile in the matter of the amount of cotton that has been shipped to other places principally European ports.
 The Elder Dempster Steamship Com pany. which does most of this export ing business, is handling a total of seventeen cargoes of cotton in ocean, going vessels during the month. This figure includes only those already han died. or now In sight, and there Is possibility. of course, that the number might be slightly increased before ths close of the month.
 This one concern has already loaded and sent out four vessels loaded with cotton and there are seven ships now in port, loading with the staple. Capt. J. B. Waterman. the local agent of the Elder Dempster Company. is au- thority for the statement that six more steamers are expected to arrive here to be loa~s,d and to sail for European ports before the close of December.
 The seven boats now in port being loaded with cotton are the Westward Ho, Kionborg, Miramar, Ernesto, Hope mount St. Oswald and Thomas Wag man. The Westward Ho has been here the longest of any in the list and Is expected to be ready to sail tomorrow. In order to handle the large number of steamers that are continually load ing with cotton, the Elder Dempster people have been compelled to press into service many additional wharfs, their ordinary facilities being entirely inadequate The piers of the South- ern, Mobile and Ohio, Louisville and Nashville and Mobile, Jackson and Kan sas City Railroads have all been put to use by the Elder Dempster people, besides the wharf at the lower end of Dauphin Street
