SATURDAY. AUGUST g, 1908.

The recent action of the Alabama Railroad Commission was silly enough to make horse laugh. The Interstate railroads, after Judge Speer's order. which has been set aside by higher authority. asked permission of the Interstate Commerce Commission to postpone enforcement of certain freight rates which were to be effective August l. This request was denied by the Interstate Commerce Commission and the railroads could not avoid putting the rates into effect. Now here comes our high and mighty state commission and after the addition of a member supposed by some to be good supreme court material and attempts to force the roads to put old rates into opera tion in forty-eight hours or abide the consequences. Could stiffness go fur ther? The law allows the roads to initiate rates and the reasona bleness thereof must be passed on by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Verify in all the railroad business the State has gone from folly to folly, but the latest performance, that of trying to overthrow the orders of the Inter- state Railroad Commission caps the climax.

Architectural Freak.

New York Sun.
 One happens upon architectural freaks here now and then" said a New York man. which don't show for what they are from the outside of the build ing. For instance. a friend of mine, in hunting up doctor who'd been re- commended to him. stumbled onto as complete three-story dwelling as you ever saw, which was built into a large and fashionable apartment house. It was nothing like your duplex apart ments' or anything one ever saw be- fore. It was a single house incorpor- ated as part of an apartment. Inquiry developed the fact that the doctor had wanted a private house and had also craved ali the convenienees of first class department house service, so when an addition to this desirable apartment was contemplated the doc- tor and the architect got together and the single house within the lArgasapart- ment building was the result. The doctor gets his separate entrance on the street. his private hall and stairs leading to the upper floors of his house, around which Is built the apartment house proper Not one person in a thousand would ever notice anything a bit unusual about the portion of the building which constitutes this sepa- rate residence, and yet it's there and fllIs the bill to perfection.

Two members of the council who served with MT :: save would have been defeated had the other three members would have been elected.
 did not see the letter of last week concerning the caucus of Monday night, and was not at the caucus, but was reliably informed that forty. two voters participated and the result or the mass meeting on Friday night tollowing was convincing proof that majority Of the citizens were In sym pathy with the action of the caucus
 The general opinion prevails that I. as 5amson's correspondent Of The Ad. yerttser. sent the article which called Tor the unsigned article Of today, ana accepting the version of the writer, the account of the Monday night eau GUS was not correct, the writer of today's letter giving a true account or number present, harmony, etc, ana would not have written had not the writer insinuated that deliberate steal put the outgoing officers in, and 1T the writer will address the attor- ney general he will find that in all general elections, State, county or municipal. an "ofacial" ballot must be used.
