S. De- Loach, motorman. The glass front of the car Is smashed and the legglna tom ruthlessly from the leg of a private of the regiment. Therefore, come- adjutant of the Fifth, crying against the said motorman and praying Judgment against him before J. 8 d Holland, acting recorder. The said Holland declines to be the goat and leaves ths question open. It ap|>ears again before Judge Broyles. Before an audience which filled every chair from the entrance to the prison doors, "The Battle of 8outh Pryor was produced for the drat time on any stage In the Deratur street auditorium Thursday afternoon. A glance at the cast wilt be sufficient comment on the merit of the production, which was ■ narkling with wit, llowlng with rhet oric and worthy a more extensive en gagement. The climax, when Motorman DeLonch, representing the street rail way company, was bound over to the grand Jury, was well received. * A curtain dropper. In which the rall- way brought a <;a*e against Frivol* I .eater Cook for smashing a glass front In a street car. waa not so successful, although It Introduced an amusing case Sf mistaken Identity. The curtain fell the announcement that It was the wrong Cook—and If was shown con clusively that too many Cooke spoil the broth. The Right of Way. Whether the- state militia has the right of way over the etreets during drills or whether the street' car com. pany may rush a car through the regl ment at Its own sweet will', waa the question Involved In the trial before the recorder and the Individual guilt of Motorman DeLoach cut but little fig ure. George N.- Napier, Judge advocate general of. the regiment, represented the militia and the state and was as sisted by Burton Smith, adjutant ot the regiment. Bennett J. Conyers, counsel of the Georgia Railway and Electric Company, represented the defendant. A number of witnesses were Intro duced and a minute explanation ot mil itary maneuvers followed. It waa shown that the battalion had been drilling on South Pryor, street in front of the court houae when a car approached. An order waa given which would have cleared the track In a few seconds, but the car's speed wa* Increased and arter passing two companles.lt dashed Into the third. The gt*** front of the car waa smashed by Irate members of the battalion and several men were bruised by the collision with the car. A mass of legal authority waa quoted to ahow that the militia has,an abso lute right of way and In his argument Mr. Napier characterised the conduct of the motosman as "hedless, reck less and with criminal negligence.” He Intimated that the "spirit of the cor poration behind the motorman had per colated through its employees, render ing them nrmgant ana Indifferent to the rights of the public." An Impassioned Appeal. Mr. Conyers, In an Impassioned ar gument, defended the rights of a street car on the streets and contended that nothing In the law gave militia a right of way on the streets except when go ing t6 or returning from their dullee, this not Including ordinary drilling. He contended - that a militia “vompany might block a street and force all cltl sens to climb a tree or retrace their eteps until they might escape the on slaught of the advancing horde. The trial waa enlivened with rare bits of humor and occasional sharp thrusts added ginger to the long drawn out contest. The state insisted that the motorman be bound over to a higher court for his offense agnlnst the state In order that a test might be made of the rights of the state troops and after hearing a lengthy argument Recorder Broyles held DeLoach for the grand Jury, placing him under 1100 bond. At the close of this trial Mr. Con yers, for the street railway company, (lied a case against Private Lester Cook, of Company A. Cook was accus ed of breaking the glass In the street car and a conductor on another line testified that Cook had told him that he (Cook) hqd broken the glass. Pri vate Cook testified that he had never seen the conductor before and that he had walked home after the drill. There was another man In the regiment who looked like him, who was an aaalatant cook for the battalion when In camp. Judge Broyles dismissed this case. —SAYS P. WOODWARD. Municipal Ownership of Water Meter Privileges Turned Trick/ SUNDAY SCHOOL-LESSON Jesus Silences the Sadducees and Pharisees- ' v StARK 13: 13-27 GOLDEN TEXT: ‘ Render unto Caesar thq things whloh are Ciexar'l, and unto God the things yhlch areOod’g. . MARK 12:17 By DR. GEORGE A. BEATTIE. UNKNOWN LEPER HEADED FOR RICHMOND IN TRAIN Over tlOO.OOO has bean saved tlie property holder* of Atlanta In. nine year* by on* of the pilnor features of the water-works bring placed under municipal controL K These figures are purposely conser votive and are given to answer one of the strong pointa put out by advocates of private ownership of public utilities. It la claimed that the Industry and push shown by a monopoly Is lacking In municipal ownership. In 1197 It waa found that water meters, which at that time were being furnished property owners, along with the connections, for ttt and 130 each by a private concern, were not of the best quality and that the private concern waa'making some thing like 40 to 10 per cent on each connection. An ordinance written by CoJoneL Park Woodward, manager of the water, works, waa placed before council and pksaed, which took the contracts out ot private hands and placed them with the department. At that time the Thompson meter fra* being placed In house*. This meter coat between (7 and 18. Since then the city haa used the Kersey 113 rotary meter and the Trident 18.60 meter to replace the Porker when necessary. For the connection and meter the city charge* )16, which Is a saving on every email tap of til, os the private concern charged 130 for the same ser< vice. About 10,000 meters have been put in with connections during the past nine years, so that now nearly all the old Thompson meters are replaced with the new and better kind furnished by the city. Manager Woodward said on thla aubject: "We are able to put In the expensive meters at the low figure for two rea. sons. First, the city does not exact an enormous profit, and, In the second place, every meter put In Insures the water-works *0 cents a month more every month for at leaat one year. "The greater thrift shown by private corporations than in municipal control, Is usually along the line* of getting cheaper articles and charging the pub lic more money.” DIVORCED WIFE WEDS SURGEON IN ARMY Winchester, Va, Sept. 14.—A man well dressed and afflicted with leprosy yesterday reached Winchester.

Oa, Bept. 14.—The recent rains and heavy winds are doing much damage to cotton In Sumter and ad joining counties. Today another rain and wtndstprm occurred. It alio pre vented picking, which makes the to tal wagon receipts here much smaller. Labor Is scarce and cotton pickers are In heavy -demand, and prices have now raised to 60 cent* per hundred, which I* hurting the farmer badly. The Incidents Jn thla lesson occurred In the cdurt of the temple on the last day of Christ's'pubUc ministry. It waa HI* last conflict with the Jewish au thoritles. He no* scarcely seated In the temple when His enemies attempt ed to entrap Him. There were two things they wished to establish, vis., that Hla teachings were In opposition to the civil authority and the Jewlih law. the penalty for which In the onp case wa* crucifixion, and In the other death by stoning, but death in both To carry ‘out this- plot thO Pharisees and HeriKlIans, who usually ranked In opposition to each other, were united for the destruction of Him whom they regarded as a common enemy. Thla haa often happened. The Pharisees were the herolo na tlonal party, while the Sadducees were the priestly arlstocratlo party, .who al ways allied themselves with the ruling ^ 11)* Pharisees w«r® the ra tals and the Sadducees wer* ths ritualists of that time. The Herodlans wished to strengthen the family ' ot Herod hy keeping It on good terms with Roman Imperialism. Tfeat ths Pharisees should form an alliance with such men as these, who opposed their most cherished prejudices, only shows their extreme hatred of Jesus, and their willingness to resort to- any means or ally themselves with any par ty for His destruction. The Herodlana might Interrogate Jesus without any suspicion ot sinister motives, while the Pharisees, anxious to put Him off Ills guard, did not come to Him In person. It would seem they wished to convey the Impression that a dispute had occurred between them and the Herodlans, and they had de cided to refer It to Christ for His de cision. They attempted to flatter Him by an Impartial decision. The question they asked was, "Is It lawful to give tribute to Caesar?" The word rendered tribute la properly the word census, and denoted the an nual poll tax which waa levied on the people for the support of the Roman toverament. The Herodlans favored 1 the Jew* were much opposed to it. Ths Dilemma. They expected Him to say yes or no. They would put Him between the Scyl- la and the Charybdia. If He said It was not right to pay thla tax, then He would be In collision with the Roman government. If He said It was right, then the Jews and the great mass of people would be offended. Jesus read their hearts, and saw through their plane at once. Without answering their question. He bade them bring Him a penny, a denarius which waa worth about 1« cents. Then looking at it, aa He held It In His hand, He asks the question. Whose Image and superscription Is this?" And they said Caesars, the name by which the Roman emperor was called, and that has come down to us in the German Kaiser, and the Rusalan Cxar. The emperor Issuing the coin usual- y had his Image stamped upon It, jnd the Inscription Included the name and titles of the emperor. On the one side of this coin was stamped ths beautiful features of Tiberius and on the obverse his title of Pontlfex Maximus. Was It an accident that the face of the cruel dissolute tyrant waa on this particular coin and that it waa not one of those coins without the likeness of the Ro man emperor, which had been minted as a concession to Jewish prejudice? We lose something of the force or His answer In our translation. They ask ed Is It lawful to give, using the Greek word from which we derive our word donate. His answer was, "Render- give back—to Caesar the things which are Caesar’s.” By this He meant not only the taxes, but everything to which Caesar waa entitled as the legitimate ruler. Christ's word meant, fulfill your obligations to the state, since your very coins show you have such obliga tions. It wa* not g voluntary gift, a donation, but a legal due. u political necessity. It waa understood among the Jews that to accept the colnuge of any king was to acknowledge his su premacy. By accepting the dennrlus as a current cold, they wer* openly declaring that Cases! was their sov erelgn. and they had settled the quea, tlon themselves by paying It. They were, only returning an equivalent for advantage* which they enjoyed. No man can be a good cltlaen or a .patriot, no matter what the form of government or the character of the ruler, who evades the payment of his taxes to sup port the government that protects him In his property and person. Yet there are many who would not pay thslr taxes If they svere not obliged to, and who by misrepresentation, cheat and defraud. What an Increase In revenue there would be If everyone would give tu the assessor the same value they would to a prospective purchaser? Jesus would not leave them with this lesson only.. He would Improve the opportunity of teaching them a great lesson. He said to them, to Caesar you owe the coin which you have od- mitted as the symbol nf hla authority, and which bear* his Image and super scription. You are created In the Im age of God, you bear hla superscrip tion,, to God you ow* yourselves. When you give to Him, It Is not a donation, but, giving back to Him that which ypu have received from III* hands. Tka flarlrliiesa'* Ouaetinn. The Ssdducse's Question. The Herodlans failed; the Pharisees thought they might have better suc cess. They did not.believe In a future life or the resurrection of the dead, and they would oak Him a question that would show lls absurdity. Ridicule the keenest weapon ever used In controversy. They tell Him of a woman who mar< rled seven brothers In succession, after each husband died, and then ask whose wife she will be In the resurrection. According to the Talmudlcal writ ings, the Pharisees had periled that uestion by saying that she would be ha wife of the first husband. He did not denounce them as hypo crites a* did the Pharisee/, nor an swer them with the same sternness, because their question Indicated that their purpose waa more frivolous than malicious. He told them that they erred, partly from Ignorance of the Scriptures, which they professed to believe and the power of God. Fancying there was no ' sanction either for the Immortality of the soul or the resurrection In the Pentalench, the Sadducees sneered at both doc trines. They had referred to Moses, so Christ refprt to Him. He showed them that men do not cease to exist by what God spoke to Moee* at the burn ing brush, when He said He was still— not had been—the Oo<f of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob: the God of not the dead, but the God nf the living. He told them their conception of the resurrection life was wrong. The children of this world marry and are given In marriage because they are mortal and marriage le necessary for the perpetuation of the race. But those who are raised from the dead will not marry nor be given In marriage, for being Immortal they will not die any more. There will be no sex In the spiritual kingdom, but all will be aa the angels of God. An old bachelor who thought there must be no happiness in this world equal to connubial bllaa, consoled him self with the thought that God would give him a wife In heaven, els* other* who bad been married here would have been the recipient nf that much more happiness than himself. The remembrance of this relation ship may be remembered, but there will be no such relation there. The Inhabi tant* of heavan will be sorted, but not consorted.
