They err who measure life by years, With false or thoughtless tongue; Some hearts grow old berore their
 time; Others are always young. 'Tis not the number Of the lines, On Life's fast filling page Iris not the pulses added throbs Which constitute their age. Some souls are serfs among the free, While others nobly thrive; They stand just where their fathers
 stood;
 Dead even while they live! Others. all spirit, heart and sense; Theirs the mysterious power To live in thrills of joy or wo, A twelve-mUnth fin an hour! Seize then. the minutes as they pass; The wool Of life Is thought! Warm up the colors; let them glow With fire and fancy fraught. Live to some purpose; make thy life A gift of use to thee; A joy, a good, a golden hope, A heavenly Argosy

JUDGE DECIDES
 TELEPHONE CASE
J. H. LattvilIe, Charged With Use of Improper Lan-
 guage, Discharged

Judge Henry L. Martin. in police court yesterday discharged the case of J. H. Lattuille. manager of the Underwood Typewriter company, charged with using profane language over the telephone.
 The case was originally brought into court upon complaint of two tele- phone operators and Judge Martin af- ter having devoted part of three days to hearing and deciding the case discharged the defendant be- cause of insufficient evidence.
 In reviewing the case Judge Mar tin declared that the entire case de- pended upon tho question whether a man could be identified by his voice over the telephone. Complainants tes- tified that neither had heard Mir Lattuille's voice except over the phone and Judge Martin held this not suf- ficient to identify.
 Testimony of defendants witnesses, the bench ruled who were said to have been in the office at the time the alleged insulting and profane Ian guage was used, did not affect the case materially.
 Probability of crossed wires affect ing misconnection, the judge held. could not hold the defendant guilty, therefore there was a further proba- bility that even though language at tributed to MT. LattuilIe might have been used, it did not necessarily fol- low that he was the person responsi- ble for such language.
 In discharging the case, Judge Mar tin explained that his decision was no reflection upon the comnlainants and that he was confident they were not the victims of a Tframe-up" as contended by attorneys for the de- fenSe.

 Serve, advertise and sell your ter ritory-but adver ise." he advised. "The big task that confronts you is, through advertising. to translate boards and shing, into the idea of homes and you can do it in only one way, through advertising" he de- clared
 The sooner you quit being the keeper of lumber yard and become a building store merchant the bet ter it will be 'or you" MT. Dfonne continued.
 Chin up time has come in the lumber business. By that 1 mean the lumber industry must be run in the future by men who work from the chin up rather than from the chin down."

RAILWAY ATTORNEY. DE MES VIOLATION
 OF ANTITRUST LAWS.
Mississippi Suit Being Heard by Chancellor at Meridian. First Testimony Intro
 duced by State

Meridian, March s,-(SpeciaL) J. Asserting that the Southern Railway company has never exercised any ownership or control over the Ala bama and Vicksburg Railway com pany and that the Southern does not Vicksburg, Attorney s. R. Prince stated to the chancery court of Lau derdale county at the morning ses- sion that the railways defendant to state of Mississippi would prove that there has been no violation and that there has been no illegal trust or violations of the laws of Mississippi been no illegal trust or combination formed by them.
 With the elimination of the Ala bama and vicksburg from the suit could allege no control of parallel and competing lines py the Southern with the exception of the small tri- angle included by the line of the Columbus and Greenville between Columbus and West Point and the lire of the Mobile and Ohio between Columbus and West Point via Artesia and the few miles between Meridian and Enterprise, where the lines of the Mobile and Ohio and the New Orleans and Northeastern are paral Tel, the Northeastern having in fact been built for short distance on the right of way of the Mobile and Ohio since that line occupied the only feasible approach to Meridian from the south. Mir. Prince contended that the mileage of these two sections is so small and the intrastate business handled over them so slight as to make them unworthy of considera- tion in a cause of this magnitude in which the state is claiming that ir- reparable damage has been done to it's people and as consequent de- manding enormous penalties.
 State Has No Power
 Turning to the legal side of the ease, MT. Prince contended that all the acts of which complaint is made by the state are of such nature as to be in the field which the United States Congress has covered by fed eral statues and that since the fed eral government having entered this field, the state has no power to at- tempt to regulate it through it's po- lice powers.
 Mir. Prince declared that he would show that the state of Mississippi is stopped from exacting any penalties under it's statutes since the state railroad commission had approved the purchase of the stock of the Mobile and Ohio by the Southern and since the Southern had followed the course laid down by the attorney general in securing a domestic char

ter and spending more than $500. 900 in building the line from OkoIona to Calhoun City as a Mississippi cor poration. He declared that he would show further that for years the state railroad commission had treated the Mobile and Ohio and the Southern as one line and had required them to put into effect one-line freight rates which were lower than the rates that would have been charged had these two lines been separate; that these reductions in rates had cost the Southern and the Mobile and that merchants, farmers and other shippers of Mississippi had for years enjoyed the benefit of these rates.
 Princes Statement
 Mir. Princes statement, which oc- cupied the greater part of the morn ing session of the court, followed a short statement by Attorney S. A. Witherspoon, in which he concluded his remarks, begun at the session Thursday afternoon, setting out the contentious of the state in this case In his conclusion, Mr. Witherspoon devoted himself largely to geo graphical statement, contending that the Southern had, secured control of three east ana west mes across the state of Mississippi; the line of the Southerns Memphis division from Corinth to Memphis, Tenn; the line of the Columbus and Greenville, and the line of the Alabama and Vicks- burg from Meridian to Vicksburg He asserted that the Southern had stifled competition by acquiring con- trol of both the Mobile and Ohio and the Alabama Great Southern, since both reached from Mississippi to the Ohio river, and that the line of the Southern, extending from Corinth via Birmingham and Selma. Ala, to Meridian was in direct competition with the Mobile and Ohio.
 Following the statements by coun- sel as to what they would attempt to prove, introduction of testimony was taken up by the State Assistant Attorney H. c. Holden, reading from the record the depositions of former Governor Earl Brewer and M e. Moore, formerly secretary of the Me rieian board of trade and now rate expert of the Mississippi railroad commission which dispositions were taken in December, 1913.
 Chancellor George c. Tam, ad- journed court this afternoon until Monday.
