after a brilliant eollege earner In
which he distinguished himself. After
practicing law In Athens two years he
artnt to Atlanta, making that plare
bis permanent home. During hit
professional career he conducted a
Inumber of Important trials and made
an enviable reputation In hla criminal
practice.
Mr. Cobh married Miss Aland M.

She was the daughter of C. P. M.

Mr. Cobb came of historic people.
Ills father was Judge of the city court

treasury, speaker of the houae of rep
resentatives and president of the pro
visional congress of the southern con
federacy. filling these high positions
with credit to himself and to his
i country.
Mr Thomas R. R. Cobh was a man

nature and always he
I was never known to forget a frtend
ship or rail to serve his friends. As
a lawyer, he was always ready to use
every effort on behalf.of his clients.
, In the preparation of his cases he was
thorough and sincere, and It was pro
bably due to the fact that he never
did anything dishonorable In the prac
tice of law that he so well succeeded
before a jury In all hla cases. He
possessed a magnificent voice and de
livery and was always effective before
the public.
It was the speech of Mr. Cobb before
the confederate reunion association,
| assembled in Nashville, which brought
the veterans to Atlanta. His speech
which was delivered on this auspi
cious occasion was received with en
thusiasm by the veterans, and for
several minutes his words of ringing
welcome were cheered by the veterans
who wept with Joy as they shouted
ihrir applause.
This speech was a most remarkable
effort and will never be forgotten b*
those who heard it. Thus It was that
In everything In which Mr. Cobb was
interested he put forth tits best efforts,
never tiring and always succeeding.

NO REDUCED RAIES.
Southern Stands Pat on Htlltary
Transportation.
Washington. Nov. I.—The Southern
railroads will make no material cut of
their 2 coot rale for troop*, el* mtng !
that In making the reduction to that ]
figure they are making a larger pro
portionate reduction than the North
ern roads with their IH rate.
A schedule will be presented »o 'be
aecrelary of war today which will show
a slight reduction for the longer hauls,
but as n rule the 2 cent rale will t»e
adhered to And there will be no cut
i ting. The roads feel certain of that.
Yesterday morning the represen; »-
lives of the road* south of the Poto- |
mac and the Ohio and cast of the Mb- (
slsslppl met Secretary Alger at hia of
fice. The aegretary gave them a talk, !
the basla of which was the hope hope,
ns he put It. that they would he able
to offer the government a rate as low
ns cents per mile for the carrying
of troops. Every road In the ter> tory
described, with on or two exceptions,
was represented. The secretary sta
ted at the outset that he did not want
what ho said to be const rood as a
threat or anything of the kind. He hod
only asked them to confer with him to
see l( It were not possible for them lo
I do a Utt'.e better In the matter of rates
; than had been done In the past.
There was n general dlarusslon of
the question. In which a number of the
railroad men gave the railroad sole
and then there wns a conference of the
representatvies of the roads in the
shape of a caucus, at which a commit
tee was appointed to ikaft n reply to
the secretary.
Last night at the Raleigh the report
of the committee was received by the
full meeting, discussed and adopted.
As already stated, the schedule pre
pared Is made on the basis of a 2 cent,
rate, hut for the longer hauls there
will be a slight out. The roads wilt all
stand <ogether In support of these
rates.
It has been calculated that, ordinary
gunpowder, on exploding, expands
about 9.000 times, or fills a space this
touch large as a gas than when in a
solid form.

who appeared at the court of the re*
(order Ibl* morning, (barged with
| false registration at Ward 4 nfflre, nr
In other word* rcglatertiig under ago,
caused a gm.d deal of atnuaement at
the above tribunal. Fred, Fred'a
Brother and Fred's father stood before
the bar.
Attorney Fogurt? represented the
defendant. Detecuv# Sheron acted aa
proaecutor.
"How old are you?" naked the judgy
of the defendant.
"Don't know, air."
The mother waa naked what was hta
age.
"Well, judge. I dUretnerabere, but (
'specie be am bout twenty, but can't
eay for certun. My oldest boy la 24
and dat boy la three or four year*
younger, but Tie mixed up a bit on
bis age."
As Fred's maternal parent could
throw so little light on the boy's age,
the father was asked a few questions
regarding the age of Fred, "Well,
Jude. I can't say how old dat boy am.
I have moved 'bout so much that the
blble in the fam'.ly baa been lost, and
now I has no Idea how old dat hoy
am. I apect he la 21." Attorney Fo
garty plied Frederick and Frederick's
parents a bit with qn.stlons. but the
age of the boy could not be found out.
Judge Bnxter decided to dismiss the
ease.
“That’s ‘one.’ as Monte Oristo said.''
remarked Attorney Fogarty as he left
court.
He evidently meant that that was
the first registration case dismissed
so far.
