STEALING A RAILROAD.
Not In Financial Way, but by Garry
inu IL OFF Bodily.

ing " UT poulty.
No stranger theft was ever commit
ted than the lifting" of an entire
railroad, twelve and one-half miles in
length, which once connected Birr and
Portumna, In Ireland.
The line had cost $450,000, and for
years it did service for the Great
Southern and Western Railway COM
pany until the year 1876, when the
company, which had been running 1t
at loss, washed its hands of 1t. The
line was derelict. Nobody wanted 1t.
For a few years 1t stretched its use
less length through north Tipperary.
Then its neighbors began to turn COW
etous eyes on 1t.
Bolts and screws and other portable
trifles began to vanish. A few prose
cutions were instituted. but the
charges were withdrawn. Nobody
seemed to care. The thieves, thus en-
couraged, grew bolder. Farmers
brought their carts and horses ana
loaded them with spoils of rails, sleep
ers, switches and semaphores. One
goodly station vanished, to its last
brick and door, In single night
They were great times for Upper
ary. Boatloads Of booty. hundreds OF
tons of rails, were sent away from
Portumna by unlicensed contractors
and the work of spoliatlon went on
until not as much as turntable was
left.--Argonaut.

ator Nelson w, Aldrlch to write the
cotton schedule to suit themselves.
OF the nine Lippitt-McColl fabrics
the Payne-Aldrich law lacked up tho
average duty from 1857 to G0.33 per
cent. In other words, the promised
revision downward on these goods
was really revision upwardamountlng
to 6497 per cent Of the Dlngley rates.
The remaining thirty-eight classes OF
all cotton fabrics ON which the duty
was increased were not generally the
product Of the favored New England
ring. Under the Dingley law these
thirty-eight fabrics were assessed au
average duty of 1896 per cent. Under
the Payne-Aldrlch law they pay 4t5S
per cent--a revision upward equal to
20.OI per cent Of the former rate as
compared with G4.07 per cent increase
on manufactures Of the favored few.
On just three among the 100 samples
was there q decrease IN duty. These
were the silk and cotton fabrics (silk
inills) that pay more than 100 per cent
duty. On these three samples tho re.
duction averaged 5.06 per cent on the
former duty-a reduction from 1l6,T0
per cent under the Dingley law to
1i0.4i per cent under the paync-A

day the Harrow captain received the
following:
o ye boys OF Harrow school,

You play against Eton college.
The Harrow school poet was hunted

No wonder We were beaten,
For at that game no other school

LEGISLATURE TO
ADJOURN SOON
SESSION OF 1912 WILL COME TO
A CLOSE TOMORROW
AFTERNOON.

Atlanta, Aug. 12.-The legislature
that has been holding forth At days
in the state capitol, and which is
scheduled to adjourn Wednesday
night, has distinguished itself as the
busiest lawmaking body that ever
came down the pike.
Not busy in the sense that it has
dealt in a statesmanlike, thoroughgo-
ing way with some of the problems
that are pressing upon the people of
Georgia. But busy in the sense that
it has meddled with little affairs
which the average legislature pays
little attention to, poking it's nose in
to local bills, inquiring diligently in
to questions which unit delegations
should have been allowed to settle,
should quit work and go to a picnic,
Or proceed to business.
People who have tackled this legis-
lature declare it is the 'craXie3t' they
ever went up against. By that they
do not mean, literally, that the men,
bers, as collection, have reached the
high plane of intelligence which per-
mits of insanity, but they have in
mind this meddlesome disposition that
has marked the legislature from first
to last.
A bill, for instance, to amend the
town Of Sleepy Hollow by annexing
more territory has been wrestled with
for hours by the committee TO which
it was referred, Notwithstanding the
unanimous request of the Sleepy Hol-
low delegation that the bill be pass
ed.
Meanwhile such trivial matters as
the reorganization of the department
of agriculture, the sale of the COVER
nors mansion, the lease of the Wes-
tern & Atlantic railroad, the abolish
ment of the fee system, the revision
of the states tax system and other
problems of minor consequence have
either been passed over lightly or ig-
nored outright.
