RAILWAYS WANT RATEPARITY ID
 PORTS OF SOUTH
Agree Among Selves on Same Rates From Chicago as Base and Will Ask
 Endorsement

According to advices from high off, ficiaIs of southern trunk lines. the carriers are endeavoring of their own motion and by their own agreements to maintain the parity of rates from tho middle west to gulf and south At 1antic ports.
 This parity has been menaced by declaration of reduced rates on eN- ports from the middle west to north ern Atlantic ports. The Birmingham Traffic Bureau took up the matter with heads of southern lines asking their good offices in seeing that any reduced rates to northern Atlantic ports also become applicable to south ern ports.
 Letter received from A. R. Smith, vice president of the Louisville and Nashville, Is to the effect that the carriers have been busy among them selves and have effected an agree Inent. indorsed by the interstate com merce comm ssion, which will make rates from Chicago to northern Att 1antic and southern ports the same with somewhat lower rates to eastern ports from distances less than Chi cago and proportionate lower rates to the south where distances are pro- portionately less.
 Public hearings have yet to be held before this plan of the carriers can receive indorsement of the interstate commerce commission.
 Mir. Smith explains the status in q comprehensive letter, in which among other statements. he makes these:

B[OUNT COUNTY HAS'
 RENEWAL OF CREDIT.
Commission Devises Plan Which Settles $70,000 :.
 Old Indebtedness

Following a conference of the Blount county court of commissioners at which attorneys for the county and creditors of the county met in Bir- mingham, plans have been devised for the establishment of credit of the neighbor county.
 The result Is that the indebtedness of the county has been refunded by issuing refunding warrants, the first maturing February 1, 1923, and one tenth each succeeding year for 10 years. with coupons bearing 6 per cent interest.
 Two years ago suit was instituted against Blount county by sundry creditors for the purpose of com- peling the county to pay it's overdue warrants. The court of county com missioners of Blount county. con- sisting of E. G. AIlredge, judge of probate; J. H. Tuck, R. c. Gardner, J. H. McCurry and w. E. Martin. com missioners, has been in session dur ing the past week with the repre- sentatives of a large number/of the creditors In the federal building.
 The interests of the county were taken care of by Russell & Johnson, attorneys, of Oneonta, and the inter ests of the creditors by Wood & Pritchard. attorneys, of this city.
 It is understood that the county will offer the same terms to all creditors, and in this way the entire indebtedness of the county will be adjusted and refunded.
 The amount which has been settled during the past week is approxl- mately s70,000, and the remainder will be taken care of, if proved to be un- paid, at the regular meeting of the court of county commissioners.

---s.----------------- LIFE PLUS 30 YEARS MUST BE SERVED BY
 JEFFERSON CONVICT

Montgomery. Janusvy f2.-(Spe- cial.)-Clarence Reeves, alias Cecil Walton, Jefferson county convict, must live more than one life if he squares himself with the law of Ala bama. The supreme court today held that he must serv 30 years for high way robbery and then a life sentence for murder.
 The attorney generals department not many months ago held that sem tences could not run concurrentiy and that a convict must complete the first sentence before he begins the second. Reeves was given 30 years by jury in the Jefferson circuit court January IT, 1921. He was given life sentence three days later.

promise all around and what the southern lines have finally obtained Is in my judgment victory for the southern lines. provided we can make the agreement stand following the public hearings which have yet to be held. In other words, this compro- mise is so far matter between the railroads.
 What is contemplated is the appli- cation from Chicago to New Orleans. Savannah, etc, of the prevailing rates to New York, and the resultant figures will be the maximum from all intermediate points on and west of the Chicago go-Indianapolis-C Cincinnati line, although from an important sec ton of this territory the correspond ing rates to New York will be higher than to southern ports.
 From points in Ohio, Michigan and Indiana east of the Chicago -Cinein- nati-Tndianapolis lines, the rates to the southern ports will be the same as prevailing to New York, but not less than from Cincinnati. Stated in another way, and rather roughly: from some points in Michigan and from Indiana and Ohio points east of this line, the rates will be S7 per cent of the Chicago rates; from the balance of Michigan, they will be the same as to New York"

but from here. bearing down toward
Spain, through the pebbly Crau and
the bad lands Of the Camrague and the
great vineyard plains Of southern
France, we arrive at another little
paradise Of painters. snuggled close
up into the corner where Mediter-
ranean France meets Mediterranean
Spain. 1t Is quite unknown to light
footed tourists, but is mine Of bril-
liant gems for those who want to
paint the quaint and quiet life of
those who go down to the sea in little
boats-Port Vendres, Collioure and
Dttii us SUI -hcl.
This is at the purple end Of the
Mediterranean rainbow-purple and
the complement of orange, we might
call it, for the blues of the Azure
coast here take on violet tints from
neighboring iberia and the tones are
the rich BASES Of the gamut of deep
harmonies.
These fisher folk are fine subjects,
with their red Phrygian caps, blue
jerseys and brown plaid overall leg
gins. to which are attached enor-
nous wooden sabots, while the wo-
men, crowned with white Catalan
coiffes. wearing dainty flowered
aprons over black dresses, are con-
tinually bearing great brown and
green pottery jugs from the open
air fountains. All is inspiring, not
forgetting the strings of Spanish
donkeys, taselled and belled, their
owners afoot beside them, out of
Spain by the mountain trails of the
purple Pyrenees.
Port Vendres is like a scenic drop
curtain, so gorgeous is its pano-
rama. Collioure nearby does not
belle less it's exotic origin than do
its neighbors. For hotels one must
stay at Banyuls, and I recollect the
small Inn. somewhat pompously
known as the Hotel de Roussillon,

olive groves, comes next Saint
Tropez, stronghold of the "Indepen-
dents" in art and of the frank seces-
sionists, seeking indeterminate fiction
rather than a sordid fidelity Of fact.
Paul Signac. leader of the movement
and president Of the Independents"
lives here.
Painters find simple artistic COM
forts and much good cheer at the
Hotel Sube, famous for its cuisine
Of sea food. The polype, or cuttle-
fish, Of the Collie de Saint Tropez is
as renowned as is the bouillabaisse
of Marugues. Octopus in embryo,
fried in virgin olive oil, washed down
with the wine of Sainte Anne! It's
memory which will not die.
Cagnes, the seventh Of the first line
Mediterranean sketching grounds,
lies in the very heart of the mon
daine Cote d'Azur, but few miles
from either Nice or Cannes and
Monte Carlo. hectic playful attrac-
tons Of rank and fashion, some of
the latter pretty rank at that. This
is the blue ray of the color arch.
Paint may be blue here but life is
not in this still unspoiled old hill
town of great, antiquity, whose
ancient chateau which caps the pic
ture even has its owners still ''in
residence" as is not the case with
many of its kind.
Blue blooded pedigreed art was
born here. Here Renoir first opened
up the palette Of the impressionists
with his marvellous interlacings Of
blue shadows-things seen by re-
f1ection-and his villa studio of some
architectural pretensions has become
shrine for art lovers. Many Amer.
leans from the Paris quarter" are
found sketching winter homes here.
Vence, high up in the Riviera
mountain background but in full
view of the sea, may be considered a
contributory to Cagnes. 1t is for the
lover Of high mountains and great
spaces, but worth while for the
painter Of even more restricted
motifs Of ancient streets and foun-
tains and crumbling walls.

Hotel Chabas. fashioned from an
ancient convent, whose one time
chapel Is now the stable where coun-
try carts and mules and donkeys and
automobiles on occasion are herded
IN disused shrines. has always been
our favorite gathering place. In its
garden, half flowers and half vege-
tables, was brought the local
butchers old white nag that served
Honbaur for the model in his famous
Luxembourg picture, "Cois de
Champs de BotaiHe."
This same garden courtyard has
been the battlefield Of every kind of
artistic ammunition fired across the
tables as we used to dine under the
great grapevine pergola. On winter
evenings we foregathered in the big
kitchen, the only warm place in a
chimneyless house, where were held
provench cduseries as the Pere

sided over the great hooded chimney

ioned with his own hand the golden
hued saffrony bouillabaisse.
After Ziem came Galliardini as
master Of Mediterranean sketching
grounds. His was the dominating
personality Of Martigues canals and
dust-white provencal roadways. I
never knew any painter to work out
Of doors with all studio comforts as
does Galliardini. He always sat In a
real chair on a rug. with his faithful
old bonnie crouched on lowly stool
beside him holding his black lined
white umbrella over him and his
work, clinging frantically to his easel
when the "nistral." that frigid, err
ratio north wind of the Rhone valley,
swept down like a wolf on the artis-
tic fold.

more than a mere incident, even in
the artist life.
Just east of Marseilles we find
ourselves in Cezanne's country. On
tho rugged. flanks Of MarSeilles's
mountain hinterland. at Allauch and
Aubagne. this rugged first realist
found his most favored subjects.
Cassis, q dozen miles further east on
the coast is, however, the most pop
ular Of artists sketching grounds for
these parts. It Is a delicious, tiny
port, lying like a pink pearl in the
silver gray cup Of the encirclins
diadem Of olive crowned hills, and is
fast becoming a rival to Martigues
in seeking to excite ambition for
recognition.
On one hand is the exquisite rose
colored cliff Of Cap Canaille and on
the other the bone gray Massif Of
Mont Gineste. together enfolding the
turquoise waters Of the miniature
harbor, where quaint craft come and
go, little brigs from Greece and Italy,
coasting tortdnes and bdldncelIes
from Spain and on occasion some
thing more piratical looking in a
felucco which has winged its way
across from Africa. Here painters
fold their wings, like the halcyon
birds of the legend. open their paint
boxes and nestle in this fascinatingly
tranquil and beautiful spot for the
building Of pictures para
graphs in paint as Picabia used to
call them when he, too. painted here
before he went in for jass motives.
Many artists linger here in villas
and hotels. with the accent on the
villas, though there are not many Of
them, nor are there Of hotels. One
of the latter we quit in body years
ago because the pGtronne preferred

meals. Cassis is strong on beauty
but short on living accommodations.
