GOV. Conner WINS A POINT
The Southern Railroad Officials
Agree to Obey Law
Pending Decision in the Courts Low
Passenger and Freight Rates
Will Prevail.

Montgomery, Acknowledgement
Conner and the officials of the South
ern railroad reached an agreement
late Thursday afternoon and the
license of the railroad in Alabama
will be reinstated.
Beginning September 1, 1907 the
railroad and it's allied lines will put
into effect the two and a half cent
passenger fare act and the measure
of reducing the freight rates on ITO
commodities commonly shipped in
Alabama.
The agreement was not reached
without concessions being made by
both sides, but in the main it is a
victory for the state. The laws in
question will not be put into effect
permanently. The agreement speci-
fically declares that their operation
beginning September 1 are only sub
their constitutionality and their rea-
sonableness when decision on these
questions is finally rendered by the
court. Laws enacted by the legisla-
ture at it, winter session affecting
the railroads of the state will remain
in force.
In consideration of the agreement
of the railroad representatives to per-
NIT of the operation of these two
laws, tie one effecting the passenger
traffic, and the other the freight, it
was agreed by Governor Conner that
the revocation of license of the South
ern in Alabama should be cancelled
and the company permitted to do
business without hindrance by Tue
state.
The compromise affects only the
one railroad system, the Southern.
The other railroads of the state
were not parties to the conference.

IN THE NAME OF CHARITY.
Jack London's Story Carries Sting Of
Truth and Pathos.

Jack London's famous definition of
charity-'sharing a bone with a dog
when you're as hungry as the dog
recalls a story about charity" said a
magazine editor, that heard Mr.. Lon
don tell at farewell dinner in New
York before he sailed away on the
Spark
''Mr. London said two old men were
smoking and drinking together after
dinner.
THE host rang the bell and an old
woman appeared.
'Confound you, stupid!' said the
host. Didn't 1 tell you wanted the
Scotch? Take this back, and bring
what 1 asked for, you old fool!'
Come, come said the guest, after
the old woman had hurried away in a
great fright. Come, come. my friend,
don't you think you are rather too
sharp with your old servant?'
"'Oh,' said the other, she's not a
servant. She's only a poor relation
Pm keeping out of charity
''The guest looked relieved.
That alters the case, of course he
said. Washington Times.

Church Union Wins.

Atlanta, Georgia. = The supreme
court of Georgia Friday handed down
a decision holding that the general
assembly of the Cumberland church
acted within the scope of its con-
stitutional authority when it voted for
union of all the Cumberland Presby-
terrain churches in the United States
and that the action of that body with
reference to church property is to be
recognized by civil courts. The de-
cision has the effect of awarding the
property of the Cumberland Presby-
terrain church in Atlanta to that part
of the membership which upholds the
union of the churches, consumated
by the general assembly at Decatur,
Ill, last year.

MUST operate TeIephones.

Helena, Montana.-Judge Bach in
the district court Thursday issued
a writ of mandamus to compel the

pany whose operators are on strike.
to resume operations. He declared
that the company had duty to per
form and that service must be resum-
ed. He said he would punish any one
who attempted to interfere with the
lines, but the mere fact with one
person persuades another not to work
and uses no threats or force does not
justify the company in refusing to do
its duty to the public, adding that the
company must operate its lines or
forfeit its franchise.
