Protesting that the Kentucky anti
trust laws are unconstitutional and
seek to take property without due pro
cess OF Law. the International Harvest
or Co. has filed It's briefs In the su.
preme court at Washington. The
most striking feature OF the document
q summary OF which has been received
here. is the statement that Kentucky
laws discriminate against dealers and
manufacturers In favor OF farmers and
stockmen. The thing which the for.
mer class may not do. says the brief.
the latter is specifically permitted to
DO. The brief calls attention to the
pooling laws. under which farmers
may hand together and hold their
product for certain price. but de-
clares that q manufacturer or dealer
in q similar combination violates the
state anti-trus, laws.

Temperance Gains in Russia

burning question in Russian politics.

were crowded all last month by
eager listeners to debates in the
great council of the empire on the
important temperance bill proposed
by the Duma. The car has mani
Tested deep interest and urges his
ministers to grapple with the task
of diminishing the revenues of the
sale of liquor and increasing the
revenue from the inexhaustible
wealth of the country. The present

amounts 10 s750,OOO,OOO. The pres
ent effort is to reduce it to $3.50, OOO,-

Passing of the London Omnibus
The old London omnibus with its
double deck and its picturesque
driver has almost wholly disap-
peared, giving place to motor buses.
Numbers of these Omnibuses have
been transformed into chicken

EN- left of these horse drawn buses.
The companies have been dispOsing
of these vehicles for the price Of
about 81 each.
Delay in Home Rule Bill
There seems TO be general und-

will not be pressed for passage until
next Fall. Liberal concessions have
been promised by Premier Asquith
to meet the objections Of Ulster, so

framed. The plan which is in fav-

Ulster be excluded from the provis-
ions of the bill for at least three
years, when il will be at the option
of Ulster voters to come in under
the provisions of Home Rule.

Everybody Welcome.

Rev Luther Bridgers, who begins
a two weeks meeting next Sunday
morning at First Methodist church
is still a young man but a man of
wide experience, He has known the
great sorrow of losing his wife and
children and home all at one time,
suddenly by fire. He has known the
great JOY of seeing thousands con-
verified to the Gospel of Jesus under
his preaching in the meetings he has
held in many states
This information, however, was
not furnished by himself He is said
to be a man of modesty and tho
roughly unselfish, depending upon
the power of God.
His singing is said to be almost as
effective as his preaching. His wife
sings, also, and will be with him in
the Marietta meeting.
Mr.. Duval cordially invites all
Christian people to work in the meet
ing as far as they can. All the peo-
pie are invited to attend Services
every morning next week at 900

s27,5oo DEAL IN HAL ESTATE.
GoBER BLoR CHANGES HANDS
J. E Massey makes gale of property Bounded
by Atlanta stre& Anderson street, Winter
street and Alley to R. E. Butler.


The largest transaction in the real
estate market that has been recorded
in a long time took place this week
when the "Gober Block" was sold.
The deal was made by Mr.. ]. e.
Massey, President of the First Ma
tional Bank, and Mr.. R. E. Butler
was the purchaser.
The price was $27,5OO. .~
The owners of the proper@b!e cor
poration known as the Central Real
ty Company, turned the property
over to Mr.. Massey about twelve
months ago and gave him permission
to sell if satisfactory price could
be secured. When Mr.. Butler offer
ed $27,5 500 Mr.. Massey took the mat
ter up with the stockholders and the
offer was accepted.
The property consists of the en-
tire block fronting on Atlanta, An
derson and Winter streets and the
alley running from Atlanta street to
Winner street. The price shows de-
mand for central property and the
stockholders are well satisfied with
the transaction.
Mr.. Butler set the price and is
likewise we'll satisfied, feeling that
he "got his moneys worth. He has
already begun to plan for extensive
alteration on some of the buildings
and has applications from several
tenants for space-those who wait
special arrangements to accommodate
their business.
Mr. Massey is being congratulated
on his success in handling so large a
deal in so short time.
