 TO CHARGE.
The Heustes County YoutA Was Sea- tcnced to Atlanta Penfsenfiary By Judge Thomas c.
 I0new

Coiey Morgan, young white man from Houston county. who has been locked tip at the county jail for some time past. on an indictment returned from the last Federal grand jury charsing him with forging a name to q postal order and cashins 1t, yester- day plead guilty before United States Judge Thomas c. Jones. A sentence of q year and day was then given him by the judge.
 On the testimony before the Federal grand jury 1t appears that Henry Nor san, a brother of CoIey Morgan. re- ceived letter at Dothan addressed to Henry Morgan which proved to be intended for someone else. The letter containd a money order for s5.
 This order Coiey Morgan took from his brothers trunk and signed Henry Morgan" and presented 1t to the pos tai clerk at the Dothan office. The order was cashed.
 Postmaster Byron Trammell, of De- than, traced the order on It's return to the original office, Graceyille. Fla, and located Coiey Morgan and his brother Henry. Henry was asked for an ex- planation, and told how Coley cashed the order. Coley was then arrested and brought to Montgomery, and an indictment returned against him by the last grand jury.
 Judge Jones after passing sentence. said that he was giving the young man the lightest possible sentence, adding that if he behaved himself at the Att Ianta prison, the sentence would real ly amount to but about ten months. Judge Jones told him that he was still a very youung man and could live the disgrace down and become q useful cft- izen of his community if he so willed.
 Morgan will be taken to the Atlanta government prison today.

 When Recorder E. F. Baher called the case of Nathaniel Steele. a negro. whose name may have been given him by . Fate far-seeing enough to know that he would be charged with thefts the Recorder was given by Captain Miles Smith, note from Steele's att t0rney &slEaug conEtnuance. ssss
 Judge Baber consented that the ease should go over and so announced. But the decision of the court was far from pleasing to Jack Nave, negro. who was the prosecutor in the case. The property that Steele. arrested by ofil- cers Taylor and Murrell, was alleged to have stolen, was steer and Nave said he wanted the steer.

 So earnest and eloquent was the ap- peal of Nave that the court decided that he might have the steer. After the ownership was proven. he was giv- en to Nave.

''The bod on Prosperity.' 2

very remarkable book of the above title has been recently published by Apple ton & Co. of New York. Its author. Chancellor Day of Syracuse University. has made a national reputation as the cham pion of conservatism in politics and the critic and opponent of those policies that attack organized wealth. Some newspa- per and magazine articles embodying his ideas on these subects have attracted very general and favorable attention and af- forded much food for serious thought Tn the book under review he has put his views in amplified foEm and produced a volume that is timely and valuable addition to the literature concerninE the political tend encies of the day.
 The title of the book gives indications of it's character. Chancellor Day considers that recent legislation and the attitude of the government and State Legislatures to- wards railroads and combined capitol Is a ''raid on prosperity"
 The industries and prosperity of the coun- try, pr. Day says are threatened by the political agitators. He further says: "It will not be the fault of insidious social ism in high and low places. of yellow jour nala read by workingmen almost to the exclusion of all other papers. of frenEied magazines. and demagogic agitators if the great invested capital and industries of the land are not destroyed Certainly there is uothIng in present conditions to increase their credit or to strengthen their confi- dence.
 .All this agitation is destructive. and much of the evil that has grown up in the corporate forms has been due to the eon- fIict between them and the inirnical forces that have opposed and embarrassed them In legislation. newspaper agitation and pop ular clamor. That there has been much of just criticism no one denies. and that is not due to the form of business but to the human nature of business. It Is the more visible because in greater mass. It al- ways exists and always will until the mil Ianium.
 But as long as the people are wickedly taught by agitators of various types that corporations have for their purpose the rob ping of the people and the oppression of the poor. business will be obstrueted and the people will suffer the penalty of their folly"
 The book has twenty chapters and $50 pages. Much of the matter 1t contains is more mlnuteIy argumentative than what is herein quoted. The author ranks among the ultra conservatives and his conclusions will be strongly combatted by many who take a different view of public questions, but in any light it must be regarded as thouhtful contribution to the literature of the day, bearing on existing economical con ditioDs and political tendencies CD.

sation fitted right into my thinking.
Pity tits that we ever measure any
Aind Of Christian work. and particular
ly Christian Endeavor work. by the
standard Of the profit in dollars and
cents. The question Of the Christ was,
twist ye not that must be about My
Fathers businessY
For shame that we ever say regard
ing any Christian work we might do:
Il won't go on that mission. There
isn't any money in it.
Let me paraphrase my friends SEN

real thing. All else is Incidental"
