CLASH OF COURTS IS ACUTE
Threats of Armed Force in North
Carolina R. R. Row.
State Fines Railway $4,000 and Its
Agent $50 Despite Injunction
federal Judge Backs Down

Asheville, N. C.-Virtual civil var
exists in the conflict between the
State and Federal courts over North
Cardinals new railway rate law.
State Judge Reynolds is threaten
ing to put Federal Judge Pritchard
in Jail for contempt, the railroad in
terests are trying to force Judge
Pritchard to imprison Judge Rey-
nolds, Governor Glenn threatens to
call out the militia to resist such
action, and Judge Pritchard says he
will call on the President for the pro-
lection of Federal troops.
The present crisis was brought
about by the action of Federal Judge
Pritchard in signing writs of habeas
corpus at 2 a. M, directing Sheriff
Hunter to produce District Passen-
ger Agent J. H. Wood and Ticket
Agent o. G.. Wilson, of the Southern
Railway, charged with disregarding
the new passenger rate law. Wood
and Wilson were convicted in police
court here, and are now under SEN
fences of thirty days each on the
chain gang, although out on bonds.
Judge Reynolds refused to honor
the habeas corpus writs, and held
the prisoners in the State courts.
1t was shown that Judge Reynolds
had threatened to put Judge Pritch-
ard in Jail for contempt for his inter-
ferenc with his court. T~hereupon
the railroad lawyers appealed to
Pritchard to arrest Reynolds.
eff he tries that I will protect
Judge Reynolds with armed forces"
said Governor Glenn, "and call out
the militia"
L shall appeal to President Roose-
welt for armed forces to protect me
and to enforce the rights of the Fed
eral Court" said Judge Pritchard.
The Southern Railway Company
was fined $4,000, and Thomas E.
Green, ticket agent of the company,
fined S. in the State Court at Ra-
leigh, thus adding further fuel to
the fame, for selling railroad tickets
at a rate in excess of that provided
by the new law for a uniform rate of
two and one-fourth cents a mile in
North Carolina.
The court required Green to prom
Use not to sell tickets at the illegal
rate. Green made the promise and
paid the fine.
The Southern Railways attorneys,
fearing that a serious and possibly a
bloody situation might be precipi-
tated if United States Judge Pritch-
ard attempted to seize Ticket Agent
Green from the custody of State
Judge Long ty mean of a writ of
habeas corpus, withdrew their de-
mand for such a writ, which would
have required the armed force of the
United States to serve, and allowed
Green to be tried and fined.

Thoroughness in Religion.

How long halt We between two
opinions? If the Lord be God fol-
low Him; but if Baal, then follow
him." Il Kings IS :21.) "Thor-
ough," then, is the law here. Here
is a call on the whole nature to serve
God. To you Christ must be all; let
Him be supreme.
Make the best of yourself, that
you may be the better able to serve
and glorify Him. Bring to Him your
power of thought, your acuteness of
reasoning, your wealth Of magma
ton, your play of fancy, as well as
all the fervor of your soul. Jesus is
your Saviour and your God; then
follow Him with your whole soul
always, in all things, at all cost. With
both hands-that is, with all your
might; earnestly-that is, with all
your soul, serve Him who has given
Himself for you. With the heart
believe, and with the mouth confess,
that Jesus is Saviour and Lord.-Dr.

Tor the preservation of His own in
tegr1ty and for oUr own best devel-
opment it is obligatory that we serve
the Lord our God and Him only.
Then, too, it is necessary that men
shall give God the prime position in
their lives. In order to the glory of
the Father-Wbich is the chief end of
mainland in order to the cultivation
OF all that is nobIest within them.
men must ally themselves with those
spiritual and godly elements and
ideals in life that make for the high
est and the best. no nan is so well
rounded a nan as be who measures
his Hfe-work by spiritual and eternal
standards. The opportunist haS no
chance in Gods Kingdom. The ca
reer that is most a blessing to the in
diyidual and to mankind is the one
that is grounded in goodness and
whose works CT righteousness are
the result of the inward work
lngs Of a holy love. The effort of
he rightly balanced man is to be
most Of use and to have the world
mark and remember him as worth
while. The man who is most of ac-
count and whose memory will be
longest cherished is that man whose
life is squared to the measure of god
illness revealed in Jesus Christ. Good
ness is necessary to a lasting success.
The man who is the best man and
whose achievement is permanent is
the man who erYes God in the unity
of love.
In the last place, the fruits of such
service are satisfactory. A man nav
till the soil and reap many harvests
till his barns be full, but if he have
no communion with God he will go
hungry in the after life. What to
you is your money when God calls
you to the heavenly places? The
amount of Christian character you
possess, not the coins that crowd you
purse, will be the measure of your
value then and there. What are your
clothes when deaths shroud encloses
you? What are you-you who have
w%orshiped at the altar of your own
wisdom-when God puts you in the
balance? All these things are ad-
mittedly unsubstantial. But the
wealth of God endures. The Chris
tan who is clothed upon by Jesus
Christ shall ever be prepared to stand
within the presence of Almighty God.

the saving of the soul and lasts for
ever. If we would but reverse things
and make all the material elements
and all our intellectual abilities sub
servient and subsidiary and subordi-
nate to the prime work of the spir-
itual service of Jehovah life would be
more satisfactory. He who serves
God gets money enough and eternal
life. The striyer for eminence in
goodness and uprightness will be
well in the front of Heavens society
and will not want for recognition
among people whose approval is
worth anything-here. The deepest
knowledge and the hardest task the
mind of man can attack is to be found
in the appropriation of the eternal
wisdom OF our God. The fruits of
G~od-serving are peace. JOY, content
ment, purity, eternal life. The prizes
of the world are feeting. The serv-
ing of God is satisfactory. To him
who is faithful the reward is sure.

Angry Cow Cores Woman.

Mrs. Michael Marzloff, seventy
years old, wife of a farmer in Brook
dale, was severely injured by a vicious
cow. The animal strayed into Mrs.
Marzloff's strawberry patch. The
woman's husband, after vainly en-
%deavoring to drive the cow away,
went to notify the owner of the ami
NAL, Alexander Parsons, and in the
meantime Mrs. Marion tried to drive
it off with a stick. She gave the ami
NAL a slight blow over the head,
which enraged it. Mrs. Marzloff at
tempted to run away, and in so doing
stumbled and fell. Before she could
arise the animal began to gore her.
Time and again she attempted to get
up, but was repeatedly knocked down
by the beast. Her creams attracted
the attention of her husband and sew
eral farmhands, who with pitchforks
and clubs drove the brute off with
difficulty.

1t is right to seek the goodwill
of all men, and to desire that they
speak well Of US, but when We lie
down to die it will be an empty pill
low if this is all that We can rest
on. When we are through with life
and all it's applause, and are await
ing the final call, we want some
thing more substantial than a Chau-
tauqua salute. When the faces We
love grow dim to our vision, and
we are lying in the twilight of two
worlds, there are voices we would
much rather hear than the plaudits
and the acclaim of our countrymen,
and one of them is, well done, good

Fun in Justice Court.

One of the most interesting sessions
of Justice J. J. Berkeys court that
has been held in long time relieved
the city's August monotony on We'd
nesday afternoon. when Mrs. Belle
Monninger and her daughter, Miss
Myrtle, of the Brainard vicinity were
brought up on the charge Of milking
the cows belonging to their neighbor,
Henry Graft. 1t is asserted that other
farmers in that locality have found
that some OF their neighbors were
so kind as to save them the trouble of
harvesting their milk crop, but Mr..
Craft did not appreciate the kindness
and was so ungallant as to have the
ladies arrested. He had four wit
nesses to substantiate his allegations.
and the chief enjoyment of the court
attendants arose from the rigorous
cross-examination given to these wit
nesses by Mrs. Monninger, who al
though she has not been admitted to
the bar conducted her own case and
that of her daughter. The defend
ants were found guilty, fined $25 and
costs each, and committed to Jail until
the fines were paid; but Justice
Berkey ordered that the mittimus
should not issue during good be-
havior. so it is hoped that peace will
prevail in the troubled neighborhood
and that nobody will milk anybody
else's COWS contrary to the peace and
dignity Of the state Of Iowa. West
