 Court Inianctioa.
ACTION ON COTTON RATES

The Alabama Railroad Commission. at It's session yesterday. took up the complaint of the citizens of Union Springs, through their Commercial and Industrial Association, against the Cen- tral of Georgia Railroad for its alleged discrimination against the compress To- cated in that city, and also the request ordered to publish rate on com pressed, as well as uncompressed. cot ton from Union Springs to all intra- state points.
 Much testimony was presented by the Industrial Association of Uaion Springs, but the Central of Georgia Railroad declined to offer any testi- mony at all. or even to participate in the hearing. giving as reasons for such course that if the relief were granted in any respect whatever, the result would necessarily be to increase the net revenue which the Central now enjoys from hauling cotton out of Un- ion Springs. and if that be true, the railroad commission is enjoined by the terms of a certain injunction issued by the United States district court from granting any relief sought in the peti- tion.
 After hearing the testimony present. ed by the citizens of Union Springs the commission ordered that the Cen- tral desist and discontinue it's practice cE discrimination against Union Springs by withholding equivalent privileges in concentrating and compressing cotton as granted ta other compress or con- centrating points.
 Several other matters of importance were heard by the commission yester- day, among them being the petition of the Postal Telegraph Company for an ot1ce in the new Birmingham terminal station. Much evidence was taken fn this case but was not concluded. the hearing being continued until this morning at 10 o'clock. E

 Order in Union Springs Case.
 The following Is the order of the commission in the Union Springs case: Commercial and Industrial Association
 of Union Springs vs. the Central
 of Georgia Railway Company,
 Union Springs and Northern Rail-
 road Company. Seaboard Air Line
 Railway Company. V
 "The cc=ipIainant Is an association composed of citizens of Union Springs. They petition to the Commisson that the defendant railways Dc required:
 sFirst=-To publish rate on com pressed, as well as uncompressed cot ton from Union Springs to all intra- State points. and, ways be required to desist from dis crimination against the compress To- cated at Union Springs. and thereby discriminating against that locality.
 FThe compression of cotton had its origin at the seaports engaged in the exportatIon of cotton. Its purpose was the reduction of the size of the bale to be enabled thereby to increase or double the carrying capacity of sea- going vessels. In economizing of space cotton as an article of freight was greatly reduced. resulting in pro- portionate decrease in ocean freight rates, and in general beneft to the exportation of cotton at large. The advantage that was derived from com- pression was soon after recognized by the railroads for the concentration of space In their own rolling stock used in the transportation of cotton to the ports. Some of these railroads begun to erect congresses at varous cotton centers along their lines in the inte- rior and cotton passing such centers in course of transportation to the ports was stopped, unloaded, compress ed, reloaded and shipped to the ports, while the empty ears thus obtained by the reduction of space were retained and used for additional transportation of the cotton crop in It's course of movement from point of origin. The movement was mucn accelerated and cost of handling reduced. which found tis reflection in the wider development and expansion of the trade in the in- terior.
 with the growth of the cultivation of cotton, It's area increased and new compresses were erected in the inte- rior. aIn the erection of new compress es not only railroads, but private COTS porations and individuals participated, through the encouragement of the railroads. until the greater part of the cotton crop was compressed in the 'r- terior, at such points where sum- ciently large amount of cotton could be concentrated for compressing to pay fair return on the investment in q compress plant
 Railroads Pay Charges.
 The railroads paid the cost of com. pression which at that time in Alas ba1na was 10 cents per hundred pounds. The custom of the railroads paying for the compression still prevails. As about double the quantity of compress cd cotton could be placed in 2 car when compared to the amount of uncom- pressed; the handling of compressed

Where They Eat Muskrats.

One dealer on Dock street sells about
5000 muskrats week. These are
purchased principally by negroes, who
are very fond Of the dish, though it is
whispered that in season at some Of
the restaurants muskrat after masquer-
AIDES as rabbit. 1t is somewhat SINH
lar to the latter IN taste, but swecter,
and those who have eaten it pronounce
1t oil right. For this market the rats
come already skinned and, when pos
slble, frozen. They are found every
where in the vicinity Of Philadelphia,
but a chief source of supply is Splem,
n. J., where the catching Of them is
something Of an industry. Whenever
they are found they are frozen and
kept until the supply ON hand is suf-
f1cient for shipment and then dis
patched to this city. They are eaten
In many small places by people who
catch them. but are not sold at retail
except in the larger cities.-phi1adel-

smiles so sWeetly while he talks that

over that he had calmly gone ahead
and done precisely what he proposed to
do.
To return to that SMILE It is 50 like

who could think of much else True,
the first thing one sees on meeting him
Is the bullet round head-the Napoleon
head-witll its bold forehead, just bald
enough to make it yet bolder.
Then one notes the nose, a dominat-
ing nose, the full eyes between heavy
eyebrows, the short, thick mustRche.
Then the smile It starts with the
eyes. droOps to one corner Of the
mouth, slips over TO the other, then be-
comes audible in a queer kind of
chuckle in the throat which shakes an
increasingly prominent double chin.
The upper chin is very timid and re-
firing, but there's a dimple in it which
works In wonderfully with that smile.
But don't fatter yourself and pat your
self on the back and think the atror~
