Freight Association in order to throw light on the reasonableness of the rates under consideration, namely, those on food products from the Mis- sfssippi and ohio River crossings to the States of Alabama, Georgia. North and South Carolina.
 While Mir. Hinton of the Southeast ern Freight Association, testified that no vote was ever taken at any of the meetings of that body" said Attorney General Garber. ''one could not help noting that there was a spontaneity and uniformity of action and results following such meetings. It is true that violations. according to the most prominent case under the sherman Act seem to imply q vote on proposi- tions of ate-making. yet what is the ing just before general rate increase and a concerted action on the part of those composing the association?"
 The testimony offered by the Ala bama Commission was aimed to sup- port two basic allegations in the gen. eral complaint First, it was alleged that the rates to the Southeast as they now exist. those which went into ef- feet August 1. are the highest that have prevailed on the respective lines of railway in the last twenty one years. and are, therefore. unreason- able. It was argued that the railroads should not take the year including the recent panic as normal indication of the earnings of the roads, but that the average rate of earnings for a period of ten years or so should be taken as the normal.
 Secondly. it was argued that if. as alleged by the railroads. 1t was neces- sary to advance the rates because of the threatening deficit, the advances should have been made to those States other, than Alabama to which rates have been much lower in the past than the tariff applying to Alabama points.
 H. $. Kealhofer. who attended the hearing in Atlanta, in the interest of the Montgomery Freight Bureau, has also returned. MT. Kealhofer is much interested in the outcome of the At lanta hearing for the vital reason that if the railroads are sustained in the points in Albama. 1t would but serve to aggravate the complaint which the local Freight Bureau has against the same lines for alleged discrimination against Montgomery as Q distributing point In favor of Noble and Pensacola. The aggravaiion of the complaint would He in the Incident of the horizontal increases which gave Mobile still lower rates on some commodities than they were enjoying prior to Aug. 1, while at the same time the rates on the same commodities--that is. Class B. meats, etc. were increased to Montgomery.
 Chairman Charles Henderson of the State Commission, returned yesterday in company with Secretary s. P. Ken nedy of the Commission, both of whom are optimistic as to the probable out come of the Atlanta hearing. Gov ernor Conner, 1t was learned, has gone on to New York for few days on private business.

 Less than year ago her husband died and since then life has seemed dreary to her and she went into a rapid decline, despit the love and mlnistratiops of her children. She was a good woman, and her friends will miss her. She was the mother of Mrs. Geo. E. Pierce. Mrs. J, R. Hunter. Mrs. C. c. Clarke this place: Mrs. T. T. Wolfenden, of Nashville. Tenn. and J. Ran. Johnson of Mont gomery. The funeral will occur this afternoon from the home, conducted by Rev. J. M. Thomas, pastor of tn e Baptist Church. of which she was a faithful member.
 Interest increases in the meetings being conducted by Rev. Bob Jones ana last night at a service for men only. about 500 were present and scores obligated themselves to live a better and purer life. At the same nour In the Baptist Church a service Tor women was held. where many re- consecrated their lives to God and nanded themselves together to fight the evils of the town. Rev. MT.

come on with His judgments. We 1 would like to see of what manner theJ are." Their moral senses are so ut. terly perverted that evil Is good te
 them, and good evil. darkness is light
 and bitter is sweet. In the prophets degenerate day the wine -tankard is tht gauge of the hero. And there is such
 an utter perversion of public justice that the guilty never fails of an ac. quittal If he can furnish the brfbe. To receive this rapacious. drunken
 skeptical generation. the jaws of hell
 are opened wide. His hideous tusk are still dripping with the blood of generations previously consumed. But
 the multitude already doomed and damned scarcely halts in it's descensus Averno to listen to the prophets fer vid temperance address.
 The Teachers Lantern.
 The woe of God against the drunk ard Is not a capricious or sporadic af-
 fafr. It Is tnterwoven with the physi-
 ological constitution. The sources of
 retribution are not external, but in-
 ternaL Every inebriate carries the
 fire and birthstone of his own hell in
 his very person.
 The prophet talks by the book. He IS true to physiological science, not of his date only. but of ours. He vividly depicts the imperceptible growth of the alcoholic appetite; the cord be- comes the cart-rope. How soon the bon vivant finds himself in the hope less treadmill of an uncomfortable pas sionl Henceforth his might consists in his capacity to drink, and simple wine gives place to fiery connections Then follows complete perversion of moral ideas. The denoument is death and hell.
 There is a hint to modern temper ance lecturers in this Old Testament temperance address. They are some- times themselves incorporate. Intem- perance can show itself in extrava- gance and vindictive vituperation.
 Again. the predilecton for funny stories, the dramatic imitation of the drunkard's staggering gait and maud lin speech. "Ten Nights in a Bar Room" and all that. tend to familiarize youth with vice, and to minify the towering evil of our day.
 Isaiah is the model temperance ora tor. His style is elevated and elevat- ing. He is a conscious ambassador of God. His great heart is stirred to its depths. He depicts the case as it Is, He stands across the downward track of nation, and, with the self-obliv- iousness of a noble nature, uses evefy worthy argument and entreaty to stay its course.
 Lyman Beecher was the Prophet Isaiah's style of a temperance re- former. and the instaurator of noble college of temperance apostles--Pres- dent Hitchcock, Albert Barnes, Ste- | phen Tyng, Wilbur Fisk, Eliphalet 1 Nott, Moses Stewart, Francis Wayland, Leonard Woods, Justin Edwards. The | prophecy of pr. Tyng has its fulfill l nent. The names of the good men | who have founded and urged on this | moral temple shall live in the haliowed | of millions as men of high | md spotless honor"
 The imperative need of the hour is l hat men of this high intellectual, so- | .ial and ecclesiastical grade shall sup | ,lant the shallow, illiterate, mercen- Try, political, and ranttng order.
