Freight Traffic In Memphis

Memphis, November 10.-(SpeciaL)- )-A heavy fall business Is passing through local railway terminals, but to date the roads have been able to handle the traffic without congestion or car short age. Indications point to an increase in the traffic as the season advances, but freight agents of the different roads, believe that they will be able to handle 1t promptly. Cotton is moving in good volume. but slack demand and consequent small sales are restricting the movement to certain extent With the revival of export demand this busi- ness should show appreciable increase.
 An item. which in years past has been practically negligible in this section, but which this year is furnishing con siderable tonnage to the roads, is that of grain. Probably the best corn crop ever grown in this section was grown this year.

viii Ask Court For Ruling.

The United States supreme court
will be asked for ruling on the clause
of the May Mott-Lewis law prohibiting
the keeping of liquor in locker clubs,
according to attorneys engaged in the
litigation.
The first step to be taken will be
the filing of suggestion of error in
the Supreme court of Mississippi. In
event the motion is overruled, writ OF
error will then be asked on which the
defendants will carry the case to the
court of last resort.
Several fraternal organizations, it is
stated, will defray the expenses of the
appeal. 1t is estimated that there are
about so or 60 social clubs in the state
where lockers for the keeping of LID
uor are maintained.
1t is understood that there will not
be an immediate abandonment of lock-
ers in the social clubs; that the sys-
ter now in vogue will be maintained
until the question Of appeal to the
United States supreme court is finally
disposed of.

CHAPTER XVI.
"A Req'Iar Hoss,"


Abe flung himself back on his hard
couch, drew the thick. gray blanket
over him, and straightway fell into a
deep, childlike slumber from which he
was aroused by the rough but hearty
inquiry:
Say. Cap, like to have some oyster
stew and a cup of coffee?'
Abe sat up, rubbing his eyes, won.

serve oyster stew for breakfast on the
beach; then he realized that he he
had not oversight, and that 1t was not

n is sometimes question whether
or not child should be assisted In
the preparation of his lessons for the
next day. Good pedagogy declares
that the child develops most quickly
who is stimulated by problem that
challenges his ability, one that is not
too easy. one that is not too hard.
If 1t is the former. he is not inter
ested whereas. II 1t is the latter, he
Is discouraged. 1t may be taken, as
general rule, that It is better not
to help child until he has gotten
discouraged and then rather to help
him to help himself. to guide him
and let him go the rest Of the way
himself.
A backward child, Of course, needs
more assistance than a bright child,
but with him more care is required in
developing self-reliance; his tendency
Is to become more dependent and his
need of initiative is greater.

Commission Kept Busy.

The grounds have been laid for a
judicial test of the penalizing power OF
the Mississippi railroad commission. 1t
is probable that no railroad commits
sion serving within recent years has
encountered as much litigation and le-
gal testing of its orders and DEGREES
as that now in office, and it is keeping
railroads, as well as the attorney-gen-
eral, as representing the commission,
busily occupied.
After several hours spent in discus
sion of the case of the commission
against the /. c.. and Y. & M. V. rail-
roads, both of which had been cited to
appear and show cause why they
should not be penalized for putting in
effect supplemental passenger tariff
alleged to be in conflict with a stand
ing order of the commission, the com
missioners pronounced fine Of $500
against the |. c., which is the first
step preliminary to getting the legal
question settled.
