 Parker had his arm cut off while at- tempting to board a Southern train at Curry's station, six miles from Talladega, on January 12, 1907. and brought suit for s1999.99, but amended hls complaint at the July session of the state circuit court so as to claim $10000 damages, and at once on the filing of the amendment the opposing lawyers filed the petition for removal to the federal court.
 The division counsel of the Southern railroad instructed the local attorneys by wire this morning to withdraw the peti- ton as an agreement had been reached between the state and the railroad. The removal of the case in the first instance was brought about by the instructions of the division counsel, and not at the in stance of the lawyers who locally repre- scented the road at this place. The exact terms of the agreemnt between the state and the Southern Is not disclosed but nothing short of a complete and absolute submission to the laws of the state and to the process of the state courts will satisfy the people here.

Athens. August 9.-(Specia1. 1.)-Some very important changes in the commercial life of the city have taken place this week The large grocery concerns of Hendricks Bros. and Mcconnell Bros. have consolidated. The Mcconnell Bros. will have entire charge of the large consolidated grocery business and Hen dricks Bros will remain in their pres ent handsome corner, where they will devote their time and attention to an entirely different line of business.

 New Survey.
 The Louisville and Nashville road has a large force or surveyors in this coun- ty. working on new survey which seems to have in view the change of the present roadbed. leaving the present track sev- eral miles in some places. The people of Elmnot. in the north part of the county, thrifty little village, seem very much alarmed for fear that the road will leave that town out of it's course. The surveyors are finding some dissat- isfaction about rights of way, and the entire country to the north Is disturbed over the matter. Some fifty or sixty men are at work on the survey.

 The county Sunday school convention Is in session at Mooresville, in the ex- treme southern portion of the county. The convention Is being largely attended.

The machine was of the most finish

a vote of so to O..
Representative Dick" Elliott, who
had charge OF the measure was awake
to his duty, and before the bill was
called up he had taken a poll and
found there was no formidable opposi-
ton. He made a rattling good speech,
saying that the measure was simply to
benefit Richmond, where the admins
tration had declined to sanction an or
dinance passed by council giving relief
to the hospital, on the ground that
such a procedure might be declared IL
legal.
Representative Elliott said that the
bill should be enacted into law so that
Richmond could legally aid what was
one of the most magnificent charitable
institutions in the west. Representa-
tive Furnas, of Randolph county, also
spoke for the bill. Governor Hanly
will receive the measure for his ap-
proval or veto by Wednesday or
Thursday, and it is certain that he will
give it his endorsement. There is an
emergency clause attached to the bill
and this means that it will become ef-
fective as soon as the Governor at
taches his signature. Funds which
the city council may vote will there
after be legal.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 1.-THE
house knocked the props from under
the opposition to the Ganiard blind
tiger" bill this afternoon, passing the
measure by vote of 73 to 10. There
were no speeches. None apparently
were needed. The big druggists lob
by, of which so much has been said,
failed to show it's hand and the gener-
al impression prevails that most drug
gists had no cause to feel offe nded by
the enactment of law that could not
affect them or others of their business
unless violations of the law were re-
sorted to- The house was crowded
with spectators and the Anti-saloon
league Inc mbers were overjoyed. Rep
resentative Ratliff was one of the 10
who voted against it, believing it's pro-
visions too stringent
1t will be many days before the SEN
ate is the scene of such a hot fight as
that which took place today over the
Indianapolis bill to provide that future
gas contracts shall be regulated SO
that the minimum rate must not be in
excess of 60 cents. The attempt was
cities, but failure met the efforts of
Senators Carl E. Wood and Will r.
Wood, who introduced the amend
ments. The former sought to fix the
maximum rate at 75 cents in cities out
side of indianapolis; the latter so
cents Both amendments were lost
by close votes. When it came to
passing the bill, however, both the
Senators Wood stood for the bill.
The Farber-Babcock insurance bill,
which proposes to establish a depart
ment of insurance. will be a special or
der or bAsiness In the senate toznor-
row afternoon. and if one is to judge
by the size of the bill, how long 1t
will require the senate to digest it's
provisions, the session will be strenu-
Gus TO say the least. The bill is an
administration measure. In the house
it was introduced by Mr.. Babcock,
and Senator Farber fathers precisely
the same bill in the upper branch. The
insurance committees in both branch
es have recommended it for passage,
after making a total of twenty-five
amendments. All classes of insur-
ance companies are affected, but the
most stringent provisions are in re.
lation to life insurance companies.
The senate may attempt to amend and
it may succeed. The insurance lobby
of which much has been said, is hop
ing for ''tie-up" in the senate tomor-

WOMAN KNEW HUMAN RAPTURE.
Personal Experience Counted in Her
 Indorsement of New Pastor.

A Philadelphia congregation was called upon not long ago to choose a pastor. The last three ministers had been persona non grata with most of the parishioners; and before selecting another the congregation did some pretty hard thinking. There was one woman of experience whose voice car ried particular weight. Preacher after preacher was invited to the pulpit for a trial sermon, and all. in the final analysis, were rejected by the female arbiter. At last there came along a possible incumbent who met with her approval.
 "The reason I am sure he will give satisfaction" she said, lis because he has the right kind of wife for a minister. She allows him to rant around all he wants at home and doesn't sass back. l found out long while ago-shortly after I was mar ried myself, in fact-that man who hasn't that privilege at home works off his spleen elsewhere. A minister vents it on his congregation. That was why we couldn't stand the last preacher This one will be all right. We won't hear peep out of him."
 And upon that unique recommends lion the congregation really did give the man a call. According to last ac- counts both he and the congregation were doing well. The wife has not been heard from.
