 $. U. Turnipseed, presiding elder of the Greensboro }district, was, in the chair in the place of J. R. Shirtzer of Demopolis who was unable to be pres ent. One hundred delegates responded to their names at roll call. Among these were Dr. O. c. McGehee, pastor at Demopolis who served this church for four years as pastor and four more years as presiding elder of the district. He is greatly beloved by Greensboro people.
 Routine work occupied the early morning hours, being put aside for a moment to introduce the Rev. Fired M stewart of the Baptist church. and Rev. J. S. Hotchkiss of the Presbyterian n church, visiting brethren. At 80 Dr. F. B. Chappell delivered a soul-stir- ring and magnificent speech on Chris tian education.

The Senate of the United States is so delicately balanced with cross-currents of temperament, so highly charged with psychological atmosphere that the infection of IT new personalities Is like the staging of new play
 For some time the activities of the new members will be eonfined to dress rehearsals behind the scenes, for they soon are acquainted with the tradition of the upper House that they may have seen and not heard until they have finished. the first six smonths or year of their novitiate. So they sit there, mingled with those whose years have made them increasingly confident and .loauacious, a silent lot now, but noisy enough in their past records. What are they like?
 SOLEMN AND THIN
 First, there is the new presiding of ficer, sunk in the pit of his chair on the raised platform His face IS screwed into inscrutability, his eyes are narrowed. Solemn and thin, with manner uncompromising, he smiles not. He has all the New England tradi- tions but toned within him. He takes himself seriously and his charges Irighteosuly, as did the Puritans of old. He is efficient and firm-and dry. The upper House has not yet burst into un- due levity for which he could effec- lively discipline 1t.
 No greater reminder of the proprie- ties could stand before an assembly than this new presiding officer from Massachusetts. Let the galleries be- ware. Vice President Marshall was all of those who showed sudden burs; of spirit, but he seldom came to tho 1 roint of actual punishment. In his discipline there usually was a hint o1 reservation that recognized the human element the humor of the situation it's oddity or homely appeal that struck | him as much as the most unversed parliamentary observer in the gal leries.
 The new Senate Is feeling its way getting acquainted. all sitting solemn until measures are taken and teami get together. The faces of the new members are as blank and unsuspect ing as band of innocents They looi meek and humble. Who would thinl that middle-aged gentleman sitting

way and transport workers in sym pathy with the striking miners. Nor will the effects of such grave crisis pass in a day.
 The end is not yet. There have been many kaleidoscopic changes during the past 24 hours, but there are certain prn- ciples which rise out of the fighting and which seem irreconcilable.
 The situation has been extremely tense The government, directed by Lloyd George, had made elaborate and costly. arrangements to meet eventualities. in- cludlng the mobilization of defense corps It was expected that the daily scenes in Ireland of motor lorries driving through the streets, accompanied by mil itary escorts, would become also part of the daily life of Great Britain, at least temporarily. The government had ar ranged for voluntary drivers on the rail roads and other systems of transport and presumably for armed guards to ae- company all of the moving vehicles. These precautions. being novel, probably would have attracted lot of attention and would have been interesting rather than dangerous or necessary.
 CAUSE OF DEADLOCK Out of the situation has come the fact that Lloyd George has associated himself completely with the coal owners in ob- jecting to the national profits pool which the miners regard as essential if inequai- ities between certain districts are to be centralized. Upon this point of princi- pie rather than details of wage condi-

tions for the industry, the deadlock has rested.
 The threatened strike of the triple all liance, set for Friday evening. but can celled at the eleventh hour. would have been a social calamity of, the gravest dimensions, and the reluctance of the workers to plunge the country in sucE situation cannot be too highly com mended.
 Never in my long association with or ganized labor has there been such general reluctance to embark in an in- dustrial conflict. No greater moderating influence has been at work than the un- willingness of the workers themselves to be forced by the government and by their employers into a conflict of na- tional aspect whereby the social happi- ness and economic prosperity of the na- tion would he imperilled.
 FELT JUSTIFIED
 On the other hand. in calling for the assistance of the railway and transport workers, the miners felt they were jus tified in the fact that they are fighting a battle against wage reductions which are likely to become general if they lose. The members of the triple alliance has had to consider the fact that they may conceivably be the next interests to suffer from the general attack on wages which has been threatened. There has been an all but irresistible, stimulus to common defensive actions, halted only by difference of opinion as to whether the miners had gone too far in refusing conferences with the owners.
 The last minute developments in the situation have not served to allay tho deep seated uneasiness of workers in general concerning the staggering wage reductions the owners are seeking to force upon the mine workers.
 No section of the organized workers has been animated by desire for pitched industrial battle, The miners organization was virtually bankrupt at the time the strike began. Every agency of labor, as a matter of fact. has been at work in the direction of peace and against the extension of the trouble. fl it could be avoided without the loss of honor.
 As matters stand betwee nthe miners and owners today. It would seem that ono side or the other must radically r rodify its position if settlement of any sort of permanepce is to be effected in the near future. The owners believe now the miners will be starved into submission.

possible forfeiture Of the charter to

ed particularly this question of PEN

grcgate Is to 20 million dollars. Six
of the most important roads in the
state are involved, They are the New

Ohio, Southern Railroad Company,
Alabama q Vicksburg Railroad Com
pany, Alabama Great Southern and
what is now known as the Columbus
& Greenyilie road. The latter was
formerly the Southern Railway Com
pany in Mississippi and is now in the
hands Of receivers
The supreme court holds that pen
alties against the roads may be en-
forced under statutes which existed
prior to the several federal war acts,
all such statutes. 1t is
contcnded on the other side that the
state statutes were virtually repealed
and annulled by the federal statutes
The question as to the effect Of the
federal acts en- the state statutes will

Original Game Law
Obtains, Is Ruling

jackson, Miss, Nov. Is Owing Ia
some MISUNDERSTANDING Of the rul-
ing of the attorney general office on
the game laws there is still some APP
parent confusion in many counties.
This trouble started in 1915 when the
legislature undertook to create a new
game and fish department. with gen
eral regulations which practically re-
pealed the old law as set out in the
code of 1906. For long time the
new law was enforced, but the SUI
preme court held The law unconsti-
tutional This left the code chapter
of 1906 still in effect, though some
/ lawyers held a contrary view. In
many counties the boards OF supervi-
sors had adopted regulations under
the code chapter, and after the law Of
1916 was declared unconstitutional
+ the question arose as to the validity
of these former orders of the boards.
On this subject the attorney generals
Office, in an opinion Of Attorney Gen
eral lotteries, holds that the code
chapter is still Do force, and that or
ders Of the board Of supervisors which
were valid under that chapter are
still valid. The opinion says:
"This department has held that the
original game laws are still in force,
notwithstanding the act Of 1916, which
was submitted to a referendum. / in.
close a copy Of that opinion.
The supreme court, i'm Keel VS..
Board of Supcrv OTIS, IS, So, page
625, in passing upon a regulation Of
the board Of supervisors, preventing
the use Of certain nets, in taking fish,
gives recognition to the game laws
in the code Of 1906 And the lcgisla-
ture seems TO have in mind the con
tinued validity of the game laws eX-
isting prior TO 1916, from the fact
that in chapter l.3 Of the laws Of
1918 reference is made 10 section 250i
Of the code of 1906.
Therefore, am " the opinion that
