SOUTHERN WONT CUT
Tho Se-boatd Air Line Has Slaughtered
Ra es to New York City.
BU SOUFHERN MAINTAINS O D PRICES
Traveling Is Dirt Cheap Over AH the Sea
bonrita Syslerti—Southern Official* Says
They W ill Not Euter the Slashing.
The Seaboard Air Line has wade a
heavy cut in passenger rates between
Atlanta and New York, but with the
calm indifference of one not affected
the Southern will give no attention
to the cut and declares that it will not
go into the slashing contest.
But the Seaboard Air Line has made
a big swipe at rates and has filed with
the interstate commerce commission
figures which are almost as low as the
cut made last year when the Simon
ton injunction came on. There is an
all-round cut of 33i per cent, in pas
senger rates between Atlanta and
Norfolk. This will, of course, affect
the rate between Atlanta and New
York.
According to the announced differ
ential table the following is a com
parison of rates between Atlanta and
main connections.
Old. New.
Norfolk'ls.2s 10.00
Washingtonl7 50 13 00
Baltimore 18 70 11 00
New Y0rk...24 00 18.00
Richmondls.2s 13 20
Petersbu.gls,2s 12.30
It it evidently the idea of the Seaboard
that they are going into a war to the
death, for it is announced that the rates
are subject to change, and another series
of rates has presumably been filed with
the interstate commerce commission to
go into effect after the 25th should the
Southern meet the present cut.
Officials of the Southern declare that
there will be no rate war. Their attitude
toward the other road just now is one of
passive contempt, and they make the an
nouncement that in the circular and
rates the Seaboard Air Line has admitted
that it is not able to compete with first
class lines.
No, the Southern will make no
reductions” said Passenger Agent
Hardwick. ‘‘lt cannot afford to
place itself on a level with such cheap
notoriety as the Seaboard wishes to
obtain. We will maintain standing
rates between New York and Atlanta.
■ The service given by the Southern is
equal and in some respects ahead ol
that on any other road in the coun
try, and we will hold to present
prices. ”
The Southern people declare that
the claim of the Seaboard Air Line
that they should have through cars to
New Orleans with the present dis
paragement in time is foolish. They
claim that no satisfactory arrange
ment could be made —that if tried, it
would prove in every way a dismal
failure.

A CIRCUS ROMANCE.
Two Young People of Cooper & Co’s Circus,
Are Wedded in Columbus.
A very pretty story on love and romance
in circus life has come to light m connec
tion with Cooper & Co’s show says the
Columbus Enquirer-Sun. Every one
who has admired the little trappese act*,
ress, Maud Janiere. She is a perfect
blond with black hair and large, brown
eyes. She is exquistely formed and her
appearance and demeanor arejvery differ
ent to the bold manners of the average
circus performer. The little lady, with
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Janiere
and brothers George and . Walter, have
been with Mr. Cooper for some time.
Last year, when the show was here, Miss
Janiere was only a child. She was a
favorite with the audience then, as she is
now, on account of her beauty and grace.
The Janiere family are all acrobats and
athletes.
Another member of the show is Mr.
Ed Mallett, who does the head ballancing

aid it was qui e natural that he should
fall in love With the charming Miss
‘alaudie” as she is called. The two
were of necessity thiown together con
stantly and their friendship soon ripened
into a warmer feeling. The youthful
uess of young Mallet’s sweetheait was no
bar to matrimony in his eyes, so a few
days ago they were quietly' married, and
now all is serene. Mr. Mallett and his
bride are' spending their honey moon
with the show in Columbus. Outside of
members of the company only a few
people have heard of the marriage, and
those who have seen Miss Janiere in her
performance on the trapese have not
dreamed that she was a happy bride and
not a mere child as she seems.

Lindale’* Celebrated Bachelor’s Club are en
tertained In a Most Elaborate Manner,
‘‘The Ladies’ Aid Society of Lin
dale” assisted by the beautiful andac
complished young ladies of the coun
try tendered the Bachelor’s club a
grand ovation recently. After read
ing the menu of the Bachelor’s ban
quet, they decided to honor the‘‘Old
Stags” with one of the best enter
tainments that money could get.
Mr. G. B. Holder tendered them the
use of bis palatial residence and the
parlors wei*e tastefully arranged for
the enjoyment of the 4 unfortunate old
men. Only a few select bachelors
were present, composed of such dig
nitaries as W. D. Aohord, Stearns,
Mirk Dodd, Jolly Will Holder, and
Henry Long. There were about
twenty-five of the ‘‘Fairest of the
Fair” present to try and gladden the
hearts (if they have any) of this dis
consolate set of men. McAchord as
master of ceremonies had hismus
tacbe (there .are 33 hairs in the bunch)
waxed in splendid style and shoes
polished a la .russet. Dodd and
Stearns had on clean collars but no
one could tell anything about their
shirts, on account of the large cravats
worn. •
The menu was perfectly splendid,
consisted of soup’ a la francaisse;
meats, consisting of mutton, a la
spring lamb, veal ala steer; cakes
that were too nice to be put before
man; ice cream, sherbets, fruits from
the tropics to tempt the taste of the
most fastidious.
All present enjoyed the niep things
so lavishily provided. Some of Mark
Dodd’s best friends are uneasy about
him, for fear he may have a relapse.
In conclusion Mr. G. B. Holder sang,
‘‘l would not live always,—and be an
old bachelor.” The pleasures of the
occasion will be Jong remembered by
your correspondent; for the many
good things that were provided for
the inner man. The bachelors all
went home and one of them was
troubled with palpitation of the
heart.

ROME EC WORTH LEIGUE.
An Idei of the Beautiful Work Done Here
Can be Drawn Fr im Monthly Bep>rt.
Some idea of the beautiful work being
done by our Epworth Leaaue, can be
had from a perusal of their last monthly
report. The relief committee reported
forty visitations to the sick, carrying
flowers and necessaries to many, also
holding special prayer services. Miss
Clara Mullinix is the noble Christian
spirit superintending this work. The
treasurer’s report showed that it was
somewhat depleted on account of benev
olenoe, and current expenses but an en
tertainment is to be g ven soon. Miss
Jessie Lewis is treasurer. The Bible
readings have been a source of oomfort
to many, led by Mr. Bailey Gordon.
Other zealous workers are President
Clarence Lumpkin; Secretary, Paul
Morris; and Misses Morris and Trawick.
Three new members were admitted, and
at the next meeting a social, and literary
program was arranged consisting of
readings from Thomas Nelson Page,
James Whitcomb Riley and others;
musical features, and recitations. A
“cat puzzle” has also been arranged
giving the definition of words commenc
ing with cat, as for example, oatapnlt
throws heavy rocks—category puts
things in regular order. Some amuse
ment and interest can be gotten from a
study of the following questions:
What cat never remains the same?
What oat tells you things you want to
know? 1 * <

What cat suggests a horseback ride?
What cat throws heavy rocks?
