against the said motorman and praying
Judgment against him before J. Bid

The Right of Way.
Whether the state militia has the
right of way over the streets during
drills or whether the street car com
pany may rush a car through the regi
ment at.Its own sweet will, was 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 of 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 mlnuts explanation of mil
itary maneuvers followed. It was shown
that the battalion had been drilling on
South Pryor street In front of the
court house when a car approached.
An order was given which would have
cleared the track In a few seconds, but
the ear's speed was increased and after
passing two companies It dashed Into
the third. The glass front of the car
was smashed by Irate members of the
battalion and several men were bruised
by the collision with the cqr.
A mass of legal authority waa quoted
to show that the militia has an abso
lute right of way and In his argument
Mr. Napier characterised the conduct
of tho motorman as "hedless, reck
less and with criminal negligence.” He
Intimated that the "spirit of the cor
poration behind the motorman had per
colated through Ite employees, render
ing them arrogant and 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 to or returning from their dptles,
this not Including ordinary drilling. He
contended 'that a militia company
might block a street and force all cltl
zens to climb a tree or retrace their
steps until they might escape the on.
slaught of the advancing horde.
The trial was 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 against 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 6100 bond.
At the close of this trial Mr. Con
yers, for the street railway company,
filed 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 hlm.that
he (Cook) had 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 wss an assistant
cook for the battalion when In camp.
Judge Broyles dismissed this case.

UNKNOWN LEPER HEADED
FOR RICHMOND IN TRAIN
Winchester, Vs. Sept. 14.—A man
well dressed and afflicted with leprosy
yesterday reached Winchester. Local
police were notlfirt and acting upon
orders Issued by Acting Mayor W. P-
McGuire, they refused to allow
leper to get off the train. The man
would not give his name, but stated
that he had boarded the train at Pied
mont. W. Va., and was on his way to
Richmond, Va. He left here for the
the j South.
Over $100,000 has been saved
property holders of. Atlanta In nine
years by one of the minor features of
the water-works being placed under
municipal control.
These figures are purposely conser
vative and are given to answer one of
the strong points put out by advocates
of private ownership of public utilities.
It Is claimed that the Industry and
push shown by a monopoly Is lacking
In municipal ownership. In 1867 It was
found that water meters, which at that
time were being furnished property
owners, along with the connections, for
626 and 660 each by a private conoem,
■e not of the beat quality and that
the private concern was making some
thing like 10 to 80 per cent on each
connection.
An ordinance written by Colonel
Park Woodward, manager of the water
works, was placed before council and
passed, which took the contracts out of
private hands and placed them with the
department.
At that time the Thompson meter was
being placed In houses. This meter
cost between 67 and 68. Since then
the city has used the Hersey 612 rotary
meter and the Trident 68.60 meter to
laco the Forker when necessary.
’or the connection and meter tho
city charges 615, which Is a saving on
every small tap of III, as the private
concern charged 626 for tho tame ser
vice.
About 10,000 meters have been put In
Itli 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 this
subject:
"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 60 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 lines ot getting
cheaper article* and charging tht pub-
lie more money.”

WAGES HAVE RAI8ED
FOR COTTON PICKER8
Hperlsl to The Georgian.
Amertcua, Ga., Sept. 14.—The recent
rains and heavy winds are doing much
damage to cotton In Sumter and ad
joining counties. Today another rain
and windstorm occurred. It also pre
vented picking, which makes the 4 to
tal wagon receipts here much smaller.
Labor Is scarce and cotton pickers
are In heavy demand, and prices have
now raised to 60 cents per hundred,
which Is hurting the farmer badly.
’his has often happened.
The Pharisees were the heroic na
tlonal party, while the Sadducees were
the priestly aristocratic party, who al“
ways allied themselves with the ruling
power. The Pharisees were the ra
tionalists and the Sadducees were the
ritualists of that time. The Herodlans
wished to strengthen the family
Herod by keeping It on good terms
with Roman Imperialism. That the
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 Herodlans might Interrogate
Jesus without any suspicion ot sinister
motives, while the Pharisees, anxious
to put Him off His guard, did not come
to Him In person. It would see/u 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 Ills de
cision.
They attempted to flatter Him by
acknowledging Him as a great teacher
and one who could render an Impartial
decision. The question they asked was,
"Is It lawful to give tribute to Caesar?”
- The word rendered tribute Is properly
the word census, and denoted the an
nual poll tax which was levied on the
people for the support of the Roman
government. The Herodlans favored
It; the Jews were much opposed to It.
The Dilemma,
They expected Him to say yes or no.
They would put Him between the Scyl
la and the Chsrybdls. If He said It
was not right to pay this tax, then He
would be In collision with the Roman
government. If He said It was right,
then the Jewe and the great mass of
people would be offended.
Jeeus read their hearts, and saw
through their plank at once. Without
answering' their question. He bade
them bring Him a penny, a denarius
which was worth about 18 cents.
Then looking at It, os 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
Russian Csar.
The emperor Issuing the coin usual
ly had his Image stamped upon It, and
the Inscription Included the name and
titles of the emperor. On the one side
of this coin wss stamped the beautiful
features of Tiberius and on the obverse
his title of Ponttfex Maximus. Was
It an accident that the face of the cruel
dissolute tyrant wss on this particular
coin and that It was not one of those
coins without the likeness of the Ro
man emperor, which had been minted
as a concession to Jewish prejudice!
Wo lose something of the force ot Ills
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 was entitled as the legitimate
ruler. Chrlet’s word meant, fulfill your
obligations to the state, since your
very coins show you have such obliga
tions. It was not a voluntary gift, a
donation, but a legal due, a political
necessity. It was understood among
the Jews that to accept the coinage of
any king was to acknowledge his su
premacy. By accepting the denarius
as a current coin, they were openly
declaring that Caesar was their sov
ereign, end they had settled the ques
tion themselves by paying It. They
were only returning an equivalent for
advantages which they enjoyed. No
man can be a gooff, cjtixen 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 thoro
are many who would not pay their
taxes If they were not obliged to, nnd
who hy misrepresentation, cheat and
defraud. What an Increase In revenue
there would be If everyone would giro
to the assessor the same value th<
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 ad
mitted as the eymbol of hie authority,
end which bears his Image and super
scription. You are created In the Im
age of God, you bear hie superscrip
tion, to God you owe yourselves. When
you give to Him, It Is not a donation,
but giving back to Him that which
you have received from His hands.
Ths Ssddueae’i 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 ask Him a question
that would show Its absurdity. Ridicule
Is the keenest weapon ever used In
controversy.
They tell Him of a woman who mar
ried seven brothers In succession, after
each husband died, and then ask whoss
wife she will be In the resurrection.
According to the Talmudic*] writ
ings. the Pharisees had settled that
question by saying that she would be
the wife of the first husband.
He did not-denounce them as hypo
crites as 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 refers to Him. He showed
them that men do not cease to exist by
what God spoke to Mosee at the burn
ing brush, when He said He was ■till—
not had been—the God ot Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob; the God of not the
dead, but the Ood of the living.
He told them their conception of the
reeurrectlon life waa wrong.
