MIR. president, we have two great po-
litical parties in this country. The re-
publican party is largely in the majority.
The democratic party has not been in
the majority since l have been In Con-
gress. The republican party has con-
trolled all three branches Of the govern
ment. The idea prevails In Washington
that the republican party is growing in our
state and stands a good chance to carry
our state in the next national election.
They are even claiming, beyond ques-
ton, that the republican party will elect
members to Congress from the Ninth and
Seventh congressional districts In the next
election because Mr.. Taft carried those
districts in the last election.
1.-THE democracy In our state in the last
national election was not aroused. We
apprehended no danger, and only a small
vote was polled Mark my prediction. Two
years hence we will elect II democratic
members of Congress from Georgia, and
four years hence will give this state, by

through such Southern lines. The
Illinois Central is shown to be the
real controlling factor in opposing the
rates and in contesting this petition.
The Alabama Great Southern, It is
true, is contrasting it, but has advanced
reasons which are even plausible why
the relief should not be granted. Mr.
Steele was for many years general
freight agent Of the Alabama Great
Southern, and his conclusions are ecr.
tainly entitled to more weight than
those Of any general freight agent
whose connection with the road and
with this controversy is Of more re-
cent date. Mr.. Hattendorf, general
freight agent Of the Illinois Central
admits that no one of the lines en-
tering Hattiesburg, or all of them to-
gether. could put in the rates asked
for, but that, IL the Illinois Central
should put them in, they would be at
once put in by all of the Southern
companies.
t12) II the complaint is to be de-
MED, 1t Is evident that it will be be-
cause Of the opposition of the Illinois
Central, and because of the reasons
and arguments advanced by 1t. 1t is
important, therefore, to see how its
department freight agent, Mr.. Hat
tendorf, seeks to justify the discriml-
nation. His testimony, while it shows
him to be a very shrewd and adroit
reasoner, is made up Of arguments
rather than facts. Indeed, he does
not profess to know Of his own know
ledge how the lower Meridian rate or
iginated, or what influences originally
produced 1t. So far as he ventures
his opinions, it will be seen that they
rest on erroneous postulates. He as
sumed at the outset and throughout
his argument that the controlling fea-
ture of the situation was the order of
the Mississippi Railroad Commission
touching grain rates from Vicksburg.
(Tr., p. 217.) In this he fell into an
error. The Mississippi Commission
never approved a grain rate of any
kind from Vicksburg to Meridian, ex-
cept the ordinary local of 10 cents. 1t
found that the Alabama and Vicks-
burg was giving to Vicksburg dealers,
who brought into Vickdburg grain
over the Vicksburg, Shreveport and
Pacific, the right to ship like amount
of any kind Of grain out of Vicksburg
to Meridian at a so-called rebilling
rate of 3 1-2 cents. It was charged
that through this practice, under the
guise of a rebilling rate, Vicksburg
dealers were enjoying an open rate
of IL cents, and the Mississippi Com
mission, In the exercise of its jurisdis
ton to prevent discrimination between
shippers, ordered that this so-called re-
billing rate should be given to every
body alike, and this order was sus-
tanned as valid by the Mississippi SUI

Marriages in Springfield. ILL.,. up to
the time Of Lincoln's own wedding
had been rather informal affairs. His
was one of the very first. If not the
first, ever performed with the full
Episcopal service. Among the bride
groom's friends who gathered in the
church was Thomas G. Browne. one of
the justices Of the supreme court.
Judge Browne was all 'old timer" He
had been on the bench from the very
beginning. a quaint. rough. curious
character. He stood close beside Lin
coin during the marriage.
Old Parson Dressar in his cancnical
robes. was performing the ceremony in
an exceedingly solemn and impressive
manner. He handed the ring to Lin
coin. who placed 1t upon the brides
finger and repeated the formula.
with this ring 1 thee wed: with all
my worldly goods l thee endow."
This struck the old judge as non
sense. and he cried Ont loudly enough
to be heard by every one:
Good gracious. Lincoln. the statute
fixes all that"
The unexpected Interruption and its
utter absurdfty completely upset the
old parson. who had q keen sense of
the ridiculous. and it was some min
utes before he could proceed.

Fire in Tunbridge =.

The mill which was owned and run
by William T. Noble was burned We'd
nesday night, Nov. g. The fire was dis.
covered about 1045 by Henry Whitney
who lives near the mill. He at once
gave the alarm, but before help could get
there it was to late to save anything in
the mill. There were several piles of
lumber in the ll-yard, a small part of
which was saved. The mill was run by
water and steam, and Mr.. Noble had lust
completed new dam and also put in a
quantity of new machinery the past year.
There was small amount of insurance
on the mill, but not more than one-fourth
the value of the machinery. At least
$500 worth of finished stock was in the
mill such as base ball bats. canthooks
handles, fork handles, water-tubs, cattle
stanchions, etc. In one end of the mill
was cider mill which was being run at
present. All this was a loss.
From ten to fifteen men were employed
in the mill, nearly all of whom have fam
lilies.
