coNTINUoUs MILEAGE RATES
May Be Made Over Two Separate
 Lines of Railroad.

Atlanta. July 12.-The supreme court of Georgia late today rendered an im- portant decision upholding the right of the state railroad commission to estab- fish continuous mileage rates over two connecting lines, one of which is own ed, managed or controlled by the oth- CT. The case was of the Wadley Southern Railway company against the commission, in which District Judge Gober held against the commissions right to enforce such rates. Last Octo- Der the commission, after a full hearing of the subject in which 1t was shown that the Central of Georgia railroad owned the Wadley Southern, issued an order applying the continuous mileage rates. The Central claimed that while they owned the Wadley Southern 1t was operated entirely independent of any other line. Today's decision sustains the order of the commission.

Interest In Physical Culture.

An interesting lecture was delivered at the Beavers hall this evening by Prof. F. s. Winston, who is in Bessemer for the purpose of getting up a physical culture class. The meeting was largely attended and Professor Winston's talk was very interesting. He stated that he felt sure that the system that he would teach would benefit every one that decided to try it, and there could be no doubt but that the results obtained would fully pay for the time and money expended. He now has class of twenty-five, and eX- poets to start them off at once The class will meet each afternoon at o'clock and evening at o'clock at the Beavers hail This will give each person an opportunity of getting up to one of the classes with out interfering with business.
 Every one at the meeting appeared to be very enthusiastic over the work, and some who have not already joined have stated their intention of going into it.
