The Man And His Book.

Professor Paul Sabatier, scholar and au-
thor, has been on visit to England. He
was there to attend the celebrations of the
Franciscans, the history of which order has
been the subject of profound studies on his
part. An interesting story is told in con-
nection with the professors authoritative work
on st. Francis of Assist When he had COM
pleted it he sent the first copy to the Pope
ingratefulness for the generous aid he had
received from Leo XIII in having access to
the vatican manuscripts on the subject. The
pope having forgotten who the writer was,
sent the author his benediction without hav-
ing read the book. Later the censors at the
vatican pointed out to the Holy Father that
the work contained besides some genuine
and touching tributes to st. Francis, also
some sharp and severe criticism against the
order. What could the Pope do? He had
given his benediction. The pope thereupon
ordered the book to be placed on the Index
Expurgatorius, so that although the author
had the benediction of the Holy Father his
book was prescribed to Catholics.

The Losing 'Point.-Baldwin county, the
largest county in the state in acres; has only
10000 people; has six banks to supply them
with cash; has six creameries to buy the
milk produced; has five newspapers to keep
them informed. But Baldwin county has not
one canning plant to save all the surplus
fruit and vegetables produced in that won
derful county. The annual loss of fruit and
vegetables in Baldwin, would equal the ex-
pense of the county.-Alabdma Traveller.

pate, trust tha tevery patriotic Amer ican will aid in this movement to carry out the clause of the preamble to the Constitution of the United States for our common defense. This is not a gesture of war but a decided nov ement for peace. That great hero of the World war, General John J. Pershing, has outlined a program, which. if fol lowed, will in my opinion do more for peace than mere resolutions and at the same time place the nation where in case of emergency it can be defended at the least expense of life, money and resources. An inventory of our man power and equipment is necessary.

 Many Liquor Raids-July 1924, was a record month in the history of the state law enforcement department, both as to number of gallons of whisky seized and number of arrests for dis tilling. The report of Chief Walter K. McAdory for July, submitted today to Governor Brandon, showed seizure of 1859 gallons of whisky during the month. Sixty.seven arrests were made for operating a still and 10 for pos sessing a still.
 These figures marked new high rec ords for one months work in the his- tory of the state law enforcement de- partment.
 Other figures in the report showed Ro- aG 4An hibition law, in addition to those giv- en above for possessing and operat- ing stills; 186 stills seized during the month, 1020Q0 gallons of beer poured out and 27 gallons of wine and 782 bottles of home brew seized, in addi- tiOn ot the whisky.
 Property confiscated comprised two Hudson automobiles, one Essex, five Fords, one Dodge truck and one Ford truck. Of cases made by the depart meat, 106resulted in convictions, three in acquittals and 21 were mol pressed. A total Eef 34 sentences were imposed from cases made by the state officers.

ATTALLA DEPOT
 PUTUPTOP.S.C.
Commission Likely To Order Carriers To Erect
 Structure

Fight for erection of a new union depot at Attalla was placed in the hands of the Alabama Public Service commission late Thursday afternoon following an all day hearing.
 No decision was announced, although it was said that it would likely take a course similar to that of two years ago when commissioners ordered carriers to erect a structure. At this time the edict was appealed to the supreme court and there held illegal. Later, however, legislation placed a new construction on the matter and rehearing was applied for.
 K During the case testimony of archi- tects, health experts, and contractors ,was submitted with the result that a strong plea was made the commission. E.0. McChord,- acted as chief attorney for the complaintants, while counsel for the Alabama Great Southern, Southern. Louisville and Nashville, and Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroads led arguments for the defense.
 Continue Brick Case
 Important of the decisions announced by the commission Thursday was one for continuance of the uniform brick ratep case until September 15. This was generally agreed to by both parties in the question because there is now pend- iiik Il petition for rehearing of the same case on a broader scale before the in tsfstate commerce commission.
 He uniform brick case,' which took up most of the time of the hearings, is of interest sine it is one of the first to come before the commission of the series which are expected to revise rate structures throughout the south eastern territory.
 The present structure is inadequate to meet recent progress in traffic, ac- cording to J. H. Allredge, examiner, and the brick case can be expected to ae- Eomplish a big step in the revision.
 Ailfedge points out that the most re- cent leeislation fecting rates was not an act passed m 1907, which placed a maximum charge on 107 commodities. There are now 14,000 commodities being handled by the shippers. The brick case represents rates on 30 commodities. Reduction Accepted
 Although the hearing occupied nearly a day, it is said that very little diff ference was brought out as various theories were advanced. To, a great extent the new rates proposed by the interstate commerce commission and asked for by the railroads after few advance and in some instances, par ticularly to points west, affected by the new historic Meridian case" there are reductions. The schedule would result only a something out of rate
