Mr.. Henderson will probably be en-
gagged in Montgomery on official business
for week or 10 days. The railroad
commission today took up the case
against the South and North Alabama
Railroad company, on a citation to the
railroad company to show cause why
the commission should not fix a reason
able passenger rate on the companys
lines in Alabama. The proceedings are
analogous to the cases which were re-

Nashville Railroad company and the Cen
trail of Georgia railroad in which the
two carriers were ordered to establish a

The candidates who are certain to de-
liver addresses at the Brent barbecue
are former Gov. b. b. Conner, Lieuten-
ant Governor Walter D. Seed and John

cuss issues of the present gubernatoria1
campaign. Captain Kolb had intended
being present, but when he learned that
politics was to be the leading subject

not attend. According to Captain kolb,
politics should not be discussed at the
Brent meeting, which he declares was
called for the purpose of promoting the
farmers interests.

cipal theme discussed. The candidates
will be present to make addresses, and
they will talk the entire time allotted
to them-whether 10 minutes or an hour.
Moreover, they will talk politics.
Brent will have the distinction of hav-
ing been the scene of the first battle
ground in the present gubernatorial cam
paign, hence the little Bibb county town
will undoubtedly occupy the stage of in
terest for the people Of the state tomor-
row. Like Gaines Chapel, Brent will be
placed on the map. and this service will
be performed not by one candidate but
by three aspirants for office.
From Brent the scene of warfare will

meet in the first joint debate of the
present campaign The debate will be
held in the courthouse room at 10 o'clock

MOST INNOCENT OF MANIAS
Joy Of Stamp Collecting May Be
Classed as the Least Harmful OF
Mems Hobbies.

Evidently taking themselves very
seriously, and as evidently expecting
other people to keep straight faces, the
philatelists have gathered here again
to show each other and the rest of us
the bits of paper to the acquisition of
which, for no known reason, SO much
Of time and money are devoted.
But it's all right. He Is distinctly
inhuman person who has not had the
stamp.collecting fever at least once
in his life.
Susceptibility to that disease, as to
another with a somewhat similar name
aemaphilla-seems to be closely con.
fined to men and boys, and why girls
and women are almost immune to it's
ravages would be an interesting sub
ject for some mousing scientists in
quiry. Perhaps it is because the fe-
male, whether or not more deadly
than the male, has more Of practical
good sense and scorns Elusive joys.
And stamp collecting is such an in
nocent mania! Comparatively few
collectors steal their stamps, and they
all have commendable passion for
authenticity. Rash expenditure marks
only here and there one of them, and
there is no known record Of weeping
widows or ragged children to the dis
credit Of philately.
From one point Of view, no collect
ing is quite as pure" as that OF
stamps, for they are absolutely worth
less in any of the ways that distract
other collectors from mere getting.
The price of a stamp depends on just
one quality-scarcene Not beauty
or historical association has anything
to do with u stamps value-it must
simply be rare, preferably unique.
Then it can be Of repulsive ugliness
or issue from the most obscure cor
ner of the world; it is none the less a
treasure.
There is, after all, something fine
about this. 1t is so magnifcently un-
reasonable, so deliberately absurd!-
