SHIPPERS NOW ARGUE THAT
JUDGE PARDEE WAS OUT
OF JURISDICTION.

ATLANTA, Oct viii the recent
ly advanced freight rates on grain,
hay, -four packing house products and
similar commodities from the west to
points in the southeast, effective Aug
ust /, be reduced again to the old
rates made effective in February, 1905,
on technically?
This is the que stion now before the
United States circuit court of appeals
sitting in the federal building in At
lanta. 1t win be remembered that
when these advanced freight rates
went into effect, the shippers, through
their counsel, Wimbish, Watkins &
Ellis, applied to Judge Speer and Sc
cured an Injunction. In this way the
advanced rates were enjoined for a
period OF five days, when the railroads
carried the matter to Judge Pardee,
who granted supersedeas which set
aside the injunction of Judge Speer,
and so the increased rates were in eff
feet again
For two weeks members Of the in
terstate commerce commission heard
the matter in Atlanta.
But now there seems a chance of
the rates being settled before any
decision is made by the commission
so far as Georgia is concerned.
Counsel for the shippers Tuesday
morning argued an appeal from the
supersedeas granted by Judge Pardee,
which permitted the railroads to again
enforce the rates, claiming that at the
time he signed the order he was with
out the jurisdiction of his circuit, he
being in Asheville, ~ C., on his yaca-
ton at the time. AS Judge Pardee
could not sit in judgment on his own
act, his place on the bench with
Judges Shelby and Burns was taken
by Judge w T. Newman.
The matter was argued in the case
Of the Macon Grocery mpany, ct al
vs. the Southern railway and others.
and it is expected that the court will
make decision within the next ten
days. If they decide that Judge Par
dee had not the right to sign this
order, being at the time outside Of his
I circuit, according to the opinion of
| these in position TO know, the re-
Gently advanced rates W Il be reduced
at least so far as Georgia is concerned,
and, perhaps. in other states in the
southeast. 1t is claimed that this
would be the only course. Thirty days
Is the limit of time for making an
appeal and this period has already ex-
! pired.
! Altogether, very interesting ques-
| ton of law is involved, ami II may be
that the recently advanced rates will
be set aside and the cd rates put in
effect long before the matter is so
much as argued before the interstate
commerce commission.

The following letter from the pas

interest to the people of the city of
Brunswick generally. AS Mr.. North
says, this is the first time the com

CHAPTER XVI.

Life at Peaceful Valley and the
home Of Judson Walker fell into its
usual monotony after Chips depart
ure.
Each day Uncle Jud went about his
chores and his crop-gathering and
watched the leaves grow scarlet, then
brown, and finally go eddying up and
down the valley. or heap themselves
into every nook and Granny for final
sleep.
Existence had become something
like this to him, but he could no longer
anticipate a ,vernal budding forth as
the leaves came, but only the scar and
tutumn for himself, with the small
and sadly neglected churchyard at the
Corners for its ending
Snow came and piled itself into fan
tastic drifts. The streams summer
chatter was hpshed. The COWS,
chickens, and his horse, with wood
cutting. became his sole care. Once
week he journeyed to the Corners
for his weekly paper and Mandy's
errands, always hoping for a message
from Chip. Now and then one came. a
little missiye in angular chirography,
telling how she longed to return to
them, which they read and reread by
candlelight
Somehow this strange wanderer, this
unaccounted-for waif, had crept into

one else must be told OF this, for tia &
secret ONE WHO KNOWS
But Chips secret was a most trans
parent one, for when this migstye
reached Martin three days later. he
recognized It's angular penmanship and
similarity TO the note Aunt Comfort
still treasured. and knew that Chip
wrote II.
II startled him somewhat, however,
for Old Cy's youthful history was I'M
known to him, and suspecting that
some, mystery lay beneath this infor-
nation, he told no one, but started
for Riggsville ar once.
The tide Of emotion that had upset
the even tenor OF Uncle 5ud'B home
life slowly cbbed away. and a keen
sense Of expectancy took its place
chip. after giving him her letter. en-.
plained that Old Cy was most likely In
the wilderness. and that the letter
might NOT reach him for weeks.
And then one day broadshoulder.
ed, rather commanding. and somewhat
citifled man drove up to the home OF
Uncle Jud.
Does Mr. Judson Walker live
here?" he inquired OF Aunt Mandy.
who met him a 1.-THE door.
Her admission Of that fact was
scarce uttered when there came a
rustling Of skirts. Why, Mr. F'ris-

which Martin. collected man OF the

I'll do more than that even, I'll pay
some one to watch at Grindstone fo5
the next year, so if Chip reaches there
we can learn it,"
That night he held a consultation
with his wife.

thoughtless admissions you may have

and propose that we break camp and

keep Old Cy here any longer"
But the old hermit had changed
somewhat since that night he broke
away and returned to this camp, and
when the alternative of remaining
here alone, or going out with them all
was presented, he soon yielded
If Cyrus is goin', I'll have to-" he
said. I'D be lonesome without him
And to this assertion he adhered.
Ray, however, was the most defect
ed and unhappy one now here, though
fortunately Old Cy was the only one
who understood why, and he KEEP,
silent.
Ihey were even more sad when Aunt
Comfort showed them Chips message.
and Angie read it with trimming eyes
And now came Old Cy's departure,
on quest as hopeless as that of the
Wandering Jew and as pathetic as the
Ancient Mariners.
But the climax was reached when
Old Cy gave Martin his parting mes,
sage and charge;

CHAPTER XIV.

When Old Cy joined the little party
at the lake again he seemed to have
aged years. His sunny smile was
gone. He looked weary, worn and dis
consulate.
Chips run away from Greenvale,"
he said simply, "an' nobody can find
hide nor hair on her. They've fol-
Tered the roads for miles in every di-
rection. Nobody can be found that's

chargin it to that durn fool, Hannah,
and things she said. which l guess
was true I'd like TO duck her in the
hoss-pondi"
Such news was like a bombshell in
the camp, or if not. what soon followed
was, for after few days Old Cy made
another announcement which upset
the entire party.

Yale" he said, IAN begin sarch for

CHAPTER xxv,,.

For many weeks now Chip had suf-
fered from troubled conscience, and,
like most Of us, was unable TO face lts
consequences and admit her sin.
Time and again she had planned how
she could bestfevade 1t and yet bring
those two brothers together without
first confessing. Old Cy must be told,
OF course. She could explain her con-
duct to him He would surely forgive
her, she thought. and then, maybe, find
another home for her somehow and
somewhere. Oversensitive as she was,
to now confess her cowardly conceal.
ment and her deception of those who
had loved and trusted her, seemed
HORRIBLE
But events we're stronger than her
will, for one day In the last OF August.
Uncle Jud returned from the village
store, bringing dress materials and
startling information. "Cap'n Bemis
is failin' purity fast" he said. so Aunt
Abby writes, an she ain't comm up
here. 1t won't make no difference to
