MARRIAGE LAWS ARE FAX.

In discussing the prevalence of divorce, it is certain that one root Of present evils may be found in the laws govern ing marriage, says Ida Husted Harper in thS Delineator for September.
 There is no other business contract so easily and carelessly entered into. Boys and girls can make contract to marry at any age when they could not make one to buy a piece of furniture. In many states no liscense is necessary In some of them girls of twelve or fourteen do not need the consent of parents. No publicity is required, no previous an nouncement: if the laws of one state of fer hindrance. the parties have but to cross the border into another The insane may marry, Predetermined, criminals, paul pers. consumptives-the whole aim of the state is many marriages as possible, regardless of. the consequences. The mar vel is not that so many but that so few end in the divorce court

Storekeeper Assaulted.

Fred Jones' storekeeper in the steel plant quarters, was assaulted this morn ing by negro named Asa Kidd and se- verely injured. The weapon used was an axe MT. Jones was indeed fortunate that he escaped with his life, as the des- perate negro struck him on the head. The blow was glancing, however, and MT. Jones escaped with severe scalp wound. The difficulty was brought about by a previous misunderstanding about a bill which Mir Jones had tried to collect. A gun was drawn but no damage was done. Dr. F. II. Johnson dressed his wounds and he was taken home As yet the ne- gro has not been arrested.

 But I beg pardon for. this Aggression. Young men, before long the once rosy beginning of manhood may assume a tint which looks rather drab, and tn ough you may not climb the way of glory, you can make the lowliest path shine with light like that from heaven. DO not expect too much of human na- ture. God made man and there is yet something of the breath of God In him.
 Senator Carmack closed his lecture with few remarks on manners and finally exhorted the young man to re- member that he not only had life to live, but also a soul to save.

ROAD DECLINES
 ID TAKE UP RATES Railroad Commission Begins
 Testimony Anyway BUSINESS MEN COMPLAIN Case of overcharge for Transfer of Passengers and Baggage at the
 Birmingham Terminal Sta
 tion Is Taken Up.

Montgomery, October S.-(Special Mai R. E, Steiner, counsel for the Central of , Georgia railroad, refused to take LID with the railroad commission today the oues- ton of rates on compressed cotton from Union Springs to points in Alabama His action was a result of the opinion on his part that as cotton rates are a part of the 110 commodities embraced in the rates enjoined by the federal court the com mission could neither reduce nor raise them, nor was 1t in the power of the railroad company to interfere in any way until ruling by the court.
 The railroad commission took a different view of the matter and at once began the taking of testimony on the complaint of the business men of Union Springs that the roads entering that town, the Union Springs and Northern. the Seaboard Air Line and the Central of Georgia, refused to make the same low rates from there to outside points is given other towns in the state the belief being that because the compress there is an independent en- terprise it is the victim of discrimination. Several witnesses were examined and the commission will announce at later date its ruling.
 The theory of the commission is that the rate on cotton in one special partic- ular is not enough of the whole of the en- Joined rates to prevent regulation of it if it Is found that the one now in use is a discrimination in the light of the well established and unchallenged law against the practice.
 Birmingham Case.
 rho rnnn1aipt of 10 oh made for transfer between the new and the old depots at Birmingham has been contin- ued to the November session of the com mission but the impression is that the matter will be adjusted before that time in fact is in process of adjustment just now This case was filed against the Birmingham Terminal company. and com plains of a 50-cent charge for transfer on the ground that it is too much, more than other cities charge for like service
 The complaint of the farmers union about rates on compressed cotton in the state went over to October 21, as did the complaint of w. F. Vandiver and others against the telegraph companies for slow delivery of messages. mailing messages that had been charged for at wire rates and failures to keep offices open. This case brought out a great real of talk. the telegraph companies contending that it was only move of the strikers to make trouble.
 Other cases were postponed as follows: Telephone charges. application for res- toration of night rates recently taken of, to November g. Postal Telegraph com pany vs the Birmingham Terminal com pauy. to October IA The application of the Southern railway to close the agency at Leeburg was denied.

Passions Rule Intellect.

We are in the habit of saying that ignorance is the mother of vice, and too we sometimes hear 1t said that a man lets his intellect become a slave to his passion. Let me say, young men, that whatever mans master passion may be it will rule his intellect whether that passion be good or bad. An important thing in your education, therefore, Is the discipline of what is termed the inner anarchy of desire.
 Every man must, in large degree, be his own schoolmaster. How, say you, can man form his own charac- ter? That is simple but not easy. answer that it is largely through the sheer force of habit. We often speak of the victim of habit, habit which is acquired and is not inborn. The bough which has once been bent will bend in the same direction more easily the second time, and so with habit. Let me impress upon you that good habit can become as potent as the bad and that habit of good doing will make you to acquire d like habit of thinking You can not conquer evil by passively resisting, but you must sup plant it with something that is good. There Is nothing truer than an idle mind is the devils workshop

On Drink Habit.

While speaking of habit, let me say q few words on a subject that, just now. is of great local interest to you. | do not wish to make this a temper ance lecture. but I do wish to make few remarks. I don't say that to take d drink of whisky is an unpardonable crime. or that every saloonkeeper is devil straight from hell; but l wish that I knew that every one of you men would never touch another drop of liquor. No man is strong enough to stand in a battle with his strong ap- petite for drink, and there's not one thing in this world that man can not do without whisky, except to get drunk. If he wants to do that it will help him some.
 "I have met some queer arguments. I have been told by some that without the saloons Birmingham will not be as prosperous as she would be with them. I have heard men boast of this great city and what has made her-the great resources and all--but have never heard of the saloons making the town. Gentlemen it seems to me that you are rather late in discovering their great importance Does prohibition prohibit? They say it will not; that man will get whisky if he wants it. prohibition or no prohibition. That may be so; hell

varsity seemed unable 20 fathom IT, Burr

and showed up well in his new position.
He was not so strong on the denfense,
however. and the scrubs gained many
yards through his tackle. There was no

The feature of the afternoon was the
fast playing Of Cutting, new man. who
was left half back on the scrub. He was
in every play, and gained every time he
was given the ball He will probably be
