Telenhone Rates Discussed

Decatur. October 26.-(Special.)--
 There is much discussion here over the
 raise in rates of the Southern Bell Tel
 ephone and Telegraph company some
 time ago. Formerly the rate was $3.5O
 month for business telephones. Then
 the company reduced 1t s2.50 when an opposition company entered the field. Recently they raised the rate back to s3.5O and a number of telephones havo been taken out as result However. 1t is believed now that a compromise will soon be effected between the telephone people and the city. Many of the citizens favor paying the advanced rate, pro vided they will be given free long | distance service in the county. The
 matter will come up before the city council in November.

The meeting was well attend ed by Sunday school workers of the town, and the secretary of this district advises that workers from the other schools of the district have promised to attend the meetings.

The original counties Of Alapama are sub-divided into great classes as fol- lows:

 Creek-Calhoun. Chambers, Coosa, Tal- lapoosa, Talladega, Macon, Randolph and Russell-S.

 Louisiana Purchase-Mobile-1.
 From the original 2S counties as outlined above, all the other counties of the state have been formed. Mobile. save from standpoint of contiguity, is not related to any other county of the state. Choc- taw and Chiekasaw classes first touched in the formation of Tuscaloosa county, and in the formation of Monroe the Choc- Jaw and the Creek classes touched again.
 But the county which established in its formation the kinship of all other coun- ties of the state Mobile excepted, is Eto- wah Etowah was formed from terri tory formerly possessed by Blount, cal houn, Cherokee, DeKalb, Marshall and St Clair. In these counties forming Eto- wah, the three classes are represented as follows: Cherokee and Chickasaw by Cherokee and DeKalb Creek by Calhoun; Croctaw by Blount and St. Clair, both of which descended in a straight line from Washington county. the original Cnoc- taw.
 In the study of counties 1t is interesting to note that from Washington, the old est. in a direct line follows Houston, the youngest

Choctaw Sessions Extensive

The original Choctaw sessions, out of which were made the original counties of Washington, Sumter, Tuscaloosa and Ma rengo. extended from the northern boun- dary of Mobile north to the southern boundary of Winston, ran west, including what is now Cullman, Blount and St. Clair: southwest including what is now Shelby, Chiffon, Fillmore, Bullock, Bar bour Henry and Houston to the Florida
 nd Georgia intersection. With the ex- ception of Mobile, therefore, the original Choctaw grant covered about three fourths of the territory of what is now Alabama The Cherokee and Chickasaw cessions eventually divided into what is now the northern counties of the state The counties which were made of what was originally the territory of the Creek oessions. repose to the south of the Creek and northwest of the Choctaw classes.
 Washington is the oldest county of the state, having been founded in 1900. It is one which has progressed only in a minor way But Washington, aptly ramed in honor of him who was first in the hearts of his countrymen, is the grandmother of Alabama counties.
 From that great extent of territory ceded by the Choctaws, and known as Washington county, the majority of the other counties of the state have been formed, and the physical intermingling of it's descendants connect every county Of the state, save Mobile. by a throbbing artery of eonsanguinity.
