Unjust Rates for Shippers.

Jackson, Miss. October 25.-(Specisl)-- A number of railroad and oil men have been with the railroad commission day or two discussing the matter of rates on oil, but so far no determination has been reached The General oil company and the National Oil company are the peti- tioners for the cheaper rates, and are de- mandng that they be revised in every di- rection. It is charged that the present rates are good enough for the Standard folks, who ship in tanks and large quan- tities but are almost prohibitive to the smaller shippers

South ern smilax was used in great Wofusion throughout the handsome clubhouse.
 Following the reception the gentlemen invited for the Night in Bohemia en- tered their automobiles and carriages and attended an entertainment given by the Birmingham Press club in the city hall.

The gentlemen in the league de serted the big reception rooms that were placed at their disposal and drifted down to the far end of the corridor, where the ladies were meeting informally.
 Among the distinguished women at the informal reception of the morning were Mrs. John Hollis Bankhead. who, with Senator Bankhead, is passing the week IT Birmingham.

A., retired. She is ac- companied by her husband. Mrs. Beck represents the Army and Navy Journal She is brilliant, magnetic and entertain- ing. She and General Beck reside at the Jsbbitt house in Washington. They are warm friends of Senator and Mrs. Bank head.
 Mrs. Beck was being introduced yes terday as Mrs General Beck when some one laughingly called attention to the frequency with which women are called by the titles of their husbands.
 "Is it a southernism?" asked a woman from the south. Mrs. Beck and Mrs Bankhead both shook their heads.
 Mrs. Beck declared that people the worl over used the titles of men when referring to their wives. Ut is not southern, or eastern, or western-not confined to any locality. It is done everywhere. People coming from Europe will call me Mrs General Beck, and so the custom goes As an army woman l have been called everything from Mrs. Lieutenant or through the list. Women have the titles but not the commissions'
