DIDN'T WANT IT, AFTER ALL
You Robert Has Same Trouble Cutting:
Luncheon at a Railroad Station.
By Wilbur NssBiL
Once aboard, he handed Robert a
mustard-loaded sandwich, and while
the boy ate it Mr. Todd looked out of
the window and muttered about how
many fools there were in the world.
"Papa,” Robert said, reaching into
the baig for a doughnut, "1 wanted to
tell you something at the table, but
you wouldn't let me.”
"What was it, Robert ”

QUEEN THIY’S INFLUENCE.
With Her Son She Modified Egyptian
Art and Developed Thought.
By the time that Amenhotep had
reigned for 30 years or so, he had
ceased to give much attention to state
affairs, and the power ha,’, almost en
tirely passed into the hands of Thiy
and her son, who now must have been
some 20 years of age. Already be
tween them they had brought Aton
into the foreground, had modified the
art. and had developed a tone of
thought which can hardly lie consid
ered as purely Egyptian. The court
was now more brilliant than ever, and
Queen Thiy, with her beautiful face,
presided over scenes of festivity of
indescribable .splendor. Thoughtful
persons, however, were beginning to
look askance at the sallow, ascetic
young man who soon would be their
Ptiaraoh; for already he had formu
lated a philosophy of joy and happi
ness which, In its intensity, had 4ess
In manner. The death of Amenhotep
III. would, it was felt, give the youth
the opportunity of forcing this philos
ophy upon the court, and no one could
yet say whether it would increase or
quell the gaieties then in vogue.
A year or so later the death of the
king occurred, and he was carried to
his tomb in a lonely valley which
leads .off that valley where lay his an
cestors and his parents-in-law, and
where Tilly's tomb was already being
j)repared. Amenhotep IV. was imme
diately proclaimed king; and although
still a young man, the influence of
his mother and the whole tendency of
the court had aged him considerably,
so that he was at once capable of act
ing for himself. He was not a strong
man physically, and the lines of his
emaciated face show plainly his as
cetic nature.
There were three ideas which had
impressed themselves upon his youth
ful mind, and which most Egyptolo
gists believe him to have derived from
his mother. First, the vanities and
the conventionalities of the age had
imbued him with an intense desire for
truth in all things; second, the pedau-
ic philosophy of the Amen priest
hood had sickened him of the unneces
sary solemnities of life, and had set
him hunting for real joy; and thirdly,
the kind old lady said, "There, there, 1 ‘ he tearhin B Primps of his mother
dear!” The red-whiskered man looked ; iatl ! et * him to the belief that the sun

"Papa, I'm hungry,” Robert
"but I don't want—”
"Now, you make up your mind this
minute about the bread and milk—no
Ice cream goes, Robert. And we’ll
have to hurry or we ll miss our train."
A young man, who looked as though
he might tie a new drummer, stopped
to pet Robert's head and ask:
"Your hoy?"
“Yes,” Mr. Todd said.
“Fine little codger. Going to All him

"1 am. if he can get over the idea
that because a lot of his foolish rela
tions have made a pet of him he can
have all the rubbish he wants to eat.”
"Shucks! Children thrive on rub

and she eats everything from matches
up.”
' "Yes, and some day you will‘he won
dering why she is rickety or anaemic.”
“Guess not. She weighs seventy-five
pounds, nearly, now.”
"Well, 1 want some corned-beef
hash, a cup of coffee, and a piece of
mince pie. Robert, when you can
make up your mind what you want,
I’ll order for you.”
Roberts' lips began to quiver, and
Xuy and slip to Robert surreptitiously,
and the young man frowned at Mr.
Todd.
? "C»\ ned beef hash and mince pie
aren’t any bettor lor you than ice
cream is for him," he ventured.
Mr. Todd slammed his glass down
bo hard that he spilled half the water.
"I know my own digestion,” he said
stilfty.
“You ought to; you ought to know
It for two or three weeks at a time,
if you loud up on canned corned beef
and restaurant mince-meat.”

Church Deacons in Clover. ,
The use of wine in sacraments will
not be a violation of the law when
prohibition becomes effective in Geor
gia, according to an official opinion
rendered Governor Smith by Attorney
General Hart.
Recently a church in Harris county
asked the question, if the use of wince
was not prohibited under the new law,
ami so interrogated Governor Smith,
who turned the matter over to Judge
^ Hart for an official opinion.
Judge Hart hold3 iu substance that
while wine cannot be manufactmt-d

January 1, 1908, that there is no law
against its purchase outside of tlift

Atlanta Wants Fair Again.
At a meeting of the Atlanta Fair
Association held a few days ago, a
vote was taken and it was declared
the sense of the meeting that the state
fair can be secured for Atlanta in 1908,
provided the city does not tear down
the fair buildings now in Piedmont
park. •
When the city bought Piedmont park
it was with a view of converting it
into a pleasure park, and the conse
quential removal of all fair buildings.
A committee will shortly appear be
fore the city council and urge them,
to let the buildings stand.
, The success of the lair lias aroused
the merchants to a great desire to du
plicate the feat next year.
Georgia, requesting that each person
who will agree to hold his cotton or
a part thereof write to him stating the
number of bales he agrees to hold and
the length of time he will hold it, to
gether with the price he will demand.
At the same time, President John
son calls the attention of the farmers
to the fact that they have on hand a
hard fight to secure the price which
they should receive for their cotton. He
states that the recent frosts have prac
tically destroyed the bolls in the north
ern and middle sections of the state,
and that this fact makes it all the
more necessary for tire growers to hold
their cotton for 15 cents.

Free Passes Doomed.
No more free tickets, free passes or
free intrastate transportation can be
issued by any railroad company or
other common carrier under the juris
diction of the railroad commission of
Georgia, nor is any railroad company,
express company or any other carrier
of freight allowed to transport the
same free of charge, after December
31, according to the sweeping and gen
eral orders 3 and 4, issued by the rail
road commission of Georgia, a few
days ago.
The "anti-pass” order came as no
surprise, for there had been warnings
that such would come, following tho
failure to enact a law at the recent
session of the general assembly.
The commission also amended Its
general order No. 2, previously issued,
covering the matter ot' train schedules,
the changes and publication thereof,
so that the words, "not to exceed the
regular sheriff's rates,” and inserted
in lieu thereof "the voluntary payment
now agreed upon between the roads
and newspapers, but not on a trans
portation basis.”
A number of railroad men had call
ed at the office of the commission and
stated that the newspapers in the cit
ies would not publish their train sched
ules nt the same rate ns charged for
sheriff's advertisements and in conse
quence there would be a number of
roads not properly advertised. It was
pointed out to the commission that all
sheriff's advertisements throughout the
state are uniform in price, regardless
of circulation. The commission then
amended the order and inserted the
clause that tills was not to be upon a
transportation basis. In other words,
an effort is made to keep the papers
from getting transportation at a less
t ati than is paid by any one else.

“No, sir!” Mr. Todd exclaimed. "I

President Milton Smith Says Denial by
Chief Eecutives That Roads Have
Not Been Injured ic Most
Absurd.
President .Milton H. Smith of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad is
sued a spirited statement in answer
to that sent out by Governor Comer,
Governor Smith and Governor Glenn
after their conference a few days ago
in Atlanta. Replying to the sentence,
"no Injury has been done to any cor
poration in any of our states by the
exercise of the power of regulation,'’
President Smith says:
"The foregoing affirmation is not sus
tained by the facts known to every
one. The powers of regulation, as ex
ercised in Alabama, Georgia, North
Carolina, and some other slates, has in
flicted incalculable injury upon the
railway corporations and allied inter
ests, and in that way unfavorably af
fected the interests of the citizens.
Regulation, when confined to the inhi
bition of rebates, unjust discrimina
tions and other manifest evils, and
to the requirement of publicity of rates
and other usages, essential to the main
tenance of order and Justice is com
mendable, but when exercised, as is
being done iu Alabama, Georgia and
some other states, to supervise and
control physical conditions, operations,
finance nml movement of traffic and ar-
blrtrarily fix Gie remuneration for
service rendered, is disastrous, and
the attempted exercise of these pow
ers by states and the national gov
ernment is largely, if not altogether,
responsible for the destruction of the
credit of railway companies and con
sequent Injury to the credit of indus
trial corporations. A denial by par
ties responsible for such conditions
will not deceive.
"The attempt of the governors to
place the responsibility for destruction
of confidence upon the representatives
of the railway companies is pitiful and
the error of statement is apparent.
"The assertions contained in the
signed statement, taken in connection
with the laws enacted by the last leg
islature, makes clear the animus'and
demonstrates the insincerity of the
allegations, it is known that some of
the statutes enacted are so onerous and
unreasonable that the patrons of rail
road companies are refusing or re
fraining from requiring their enforce
ment.”

He called it the "International.” My

in order to accommodate us it was
necessary to dislodge the dirt of a
year’s accumulation. We found that
the dining room was located alongside
the lavatory, which emitted the most
unhealthful and germ-breeding odors
that a sane mind can imagine. Final
ly we were forced to get out of our
beds at one a. m., dress, pack, and
leave the hotel. We walked the
streets until dawn, vainly striving to
forget the overcoming hospitality of
the Hotel International. On this mid
night walk we were stopped at al
most every step by the prostrate
form of some Arab stretched full
length across the street, or rolled up
on some doorstep. A chill night and
thick dew had no terrors for these
hardy sons of Mohammed. From "A

Pension Commissioner’s Report.
Commissioner of Pensions John W.
Lindsey has submitted to the governor
his annual statement in regard to the
pension fund paid out for the year
1907, and the amount to be paid out
for 1908.
Tile report shows that 15,706 pen
sioners were paid this year and that
in 1908 there will be only four more
15,710 to be paid. The amount paid out
for 1907 was $932,638.85, and the sum
appropriated for 1908 is $935,177,which
Colonel Lindsey states will be amply
sufficient lor the purpose.
Beginning next year, under the new
pension law passed at the recent ses
'sion of the general assembly, these
payments, instead of being made all
in a lump sum, once a year, are to
me paid quarterly on the first of iftarch

WATERWAYS CONVENTTION
Is Called to Meet in Birmingham on
Novembet 19th.
At a meeting of the Birmingham
Commercial Club a waterways con
vention was called to be held in Bir
mingham on November 19. Mississippi,
Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia and Ficr-
ida will be asked to send delegates.
to emphasize in the public mind an
apprehension of unfavorable cenditions,
whicli do not exist.
A New York special says: It i s th*
first time since the civil war the
southern farmer has held the koy t 0
the financial situation, and if Wait
street has gone broke that is no rea
son why the fanner should not get a
good price for his cotton. Millions
of bales of cotton are being sold for
December, January and March delivery
by people who never owned or raised
a bale of cotton to depress tho price
and Ecare the farmers into selling s 0
they can pay their debts in Europe.
If the farmer takes udvantnge of
the situation and holds he is bound
to get a good price for his cotton. The
world must have cotton. The, rich buy
stocks; everybody buys cotton In some
shape and must have it.
The enormous influence which Ameri
can products are exerting in building
up a predlt balance abroad him been
the most signal development of the
financial situation just now. Reports
from all quarters show that the great
Americun staples—wheat, cotton, cop
per, tobacco, oil, meats—are on their
way to Europe, this being the season
of the year when American products
are market abroad. The immediate
effect of this shipment is to give the
United States credit abroad which
can be speedily converted into cash.
These natural resources of the coun
try promise to exert even greater in
fluence than the sale of American se
curities abroad. Tho latter have to
some extent suffered discredit under
recent pressure, but the Intrinsic value
of American staples used abroad and
their colossal aggregate at this period
of the year»is beyond the reach ot
financial distrust.
The foreign sales of millions of
American copper Monday were sup
plemented Tuesday by reports of sim
ilar heavy export, Tuesday's shipments
alone giving a foreign credit of $!4,-
000,000. The shipment of tobacco to
Europe this year promises to break
nil records. Officials of the American
Tobacco company estimate that with
the orders on hand the year's exports
will exceed 50,000,000 pounds of man
ufactured tobacco, which is far in ex
cess of the amount exported last year.
Europe will pay over $100,000,000 for
this tobacco and much of this money
will soon be available in this market
as the contracts with the European
importers call for immediate payment
on delivery. Shipments of tobacco to
Europe will be heavy in November
and December, according to the offi
cials of the American Tobacco compa
ny. Reports from the south show that
the cotton crop is moving toward Eu
rope, while the west is Fending grnln
and meat products in tho same dtrec-
ion. The fall shipments of American
products, chiefly agricutlural, thus
come at an opportune time in giving
the country credits abroad, making *t
difficult for the foreign money markets
to withhold gold even by the most
drastic raising of their discount rates.
Several favorable event-s marked the
close of the financial day in New Vork.
The engagement of $2,000,000 in f'uM
by the First National Bank of Chicago,
and of $500,000 by a Boston bank
brought the total gold engagements up
close to $20,000,000 In spite of the
cancellation of an order for $900,000 by
the Russo-Chineso banks, upon the
ground that the amount engaged ex-
ceeded necessitates. The raising oi t o
German bank rate in order to I )reve "|
America from drawing German E°*
produces little effect on the situation,
as none of the gold engagements thus
far have been made in Germany an
