RECIPROCAL DEMURRAGE HELD VALID.
Railroads Must Pay When They Fail
to Furnish Cars Promptly.

Atlanta Cain a decision handed
down in the case of the Southern
Railway VS.. Melton, from Dodge SUI
perior court, the supreme court, upon
questions certified to it from the state
court of appeals, upheld the consti-
tuticnality Of the railroad commits
sions rule. framed in accordance with
the terms of the Steed act of 1905,
requiring the payment of reciprocal
demurrage by railroad companies up
on their failure to supply shippers
with cars for the transportation of
their products after due notice has
been given.
From the standpoint OF Transports
ton service, this is one of the most
important and far-reaching decisions
which has recently come from the SUI
preme court.
The effect Of it will be, when ap-
piled. to require the railroad compa-
ny to furnish to shipper who gives
due notice a car or cars for the trans
portation of freight, or, upon failure
to do so, to pay such shipper dol
lar a day per car during the time
that such failure to furnish the requir-
ed car OF cars continues.
The legality Of the commissions
rule requiring the payment of what is
known as reciprocal demurrage, will
mean that the same requirement will
rest both upon the railroad and the
shipper.

Don't be untidy about your dress.
Keep your hair neatly combed and
your iuger nails clean.
Don use your school books roughly.
Handle them as carefully as though
they were to last you lifetime.
Don't be overbearing toward your
feachers, nor think it smart to make
them dislike you. They are deYotine
'heir time in helping you to get an edu-
catien, the most necessary thing in the
world for boy or girl to possess.
Don't quarrel with your school CON-
panions. If hoy or girl shows a dis
position to be disagreeable it is wise on
your part to give him or her a "widr
berth"
Don't think that by cheating at
.sams., you are playing joke or trick
on your teac hers and perents. Your
personal educs ton is of far vaster i'm
portance to you than it is to them.
Don t get into the lazy habit of be-
ing the last pupi in the schoolroom of
a morning. Habi is formed in child
hood last during life, and the boy who
is not prompt in school will not be so
in business affairs.
Don't brag or boast if you are a. the
