NUMBER 181
ALBANY, GA., WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 23, 1906.
VOLUME XV.
DECIDED BY ILLINOIS COURT.
(
ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS WILL NOT BE IN
TERFERED WITH BY CIVIL COURTS.
DECATUR, Ill., May 23.—The application for an
injunction to restrain a union of Presbyterian churches
was decided today in the refusal to issue an injunction.
Judge Johns said that the case has no parallel in
American jurisprudence. . He declared that courts of
equity will not pass on doctrinal matters. Decisions of
ecclesiastical courts are binding on all members, and will
not be interfered with by courts of equity if their acts
are fair and honest. The decisions of ecclesiastical
courts are also binding on the civil courts as to mat
ters of faith.
Whether the doctrines of the Cumberland Presby
terian church are widely variant from those of the Pres
byterian church is an ecclesiastical question solely.

ANOTHER CITY
MAIL CARRIER
Will Probably be Recommended by
Postoffice Inspector Now Making
Investigations.
Mr. W. B. Platt, of Macon, an in
spector of the postofllce department,
is in the city making investigations
on which to base a report upon the
application of Postmaster H. F. Brim-
berry for the increase of the city mail
carrier force.
The application, made . some time
ago, was for an increase ot the force
of local carriers from three to four.
The postmaster has for some time rec
ognized the importance of putting on
another carrier, the present force be
ing Inadequate for a satisfactory ser
vice.
While it is of course impossible to
predict the nature of the recommen
dation "6r’the Tngpedtoi' Tt Is believed
that he will recognize the need of an
other carrier in Albany, and recom
mend the increase asked for.
Recently the city has been enlarged
by the addition of territory’on three
sides, and there has been substantial
incre&se of the population in the old
section. Four carriers can serve the
whole territory satisfactorily, hut the
task Is beyond_ three men.

ENTERPRISES
And Car Line Looking Us
Up as Result of Albany
Business League’s Efforts.
Bright Prospects.
The Albany Business League haB in
hand jqst now several propositions
that are full of promise. Three are in
the manufacturing line and one is
nothing more or less than a move for
a street-ear line.
So well advanced are the manufac
turing propositions that parties who
have become interested will be In Al
bany in the course or the next few
days seriously bent on carrying them
through to success.
The three manufacturing enter
prises which now appear so promising
are a furniture factory, a shoe factory
and a cement factory. Preliminary in
vestigations have already been made
in the Interest of the parties con
cerned, and furniture men, cement
men and shoe men from distant states
will he in Albany within the next few
days for the purpose of getting in
closer touch with conditions thus far
found eminently satisfactory. The
raw materials are here, and it but re
mains to be proved that they are
available.
There are various other proposi
tions on the flies of the Albany Busi
ness, League which appear full of
promise, and will probably come to
the front in the course of a few
months, but those enumerated are
very much alive at the present time,
and the prospects' of their bearing
fruit are exceedingly good.
The street-car proposition has
aroused the interest of several par-
ties, one of whom will have represen
tatives here in the course of a few
days to look over the ground. Details
cannot yet be published, but it may be
stated that the prospects on this point
of the industrial horizon have reached
the flattering stage.
Work, such as a business league un
dertakes, must be necessarily slow in
bringing results, but there Is no rea
son for doubting that fruit of a very
substantial character will shortly be
harvested as the result of the efforts
of Albany's live commercial organiza
tion.

RATE BILL 1 GOOD
CHAIRMAN OF HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
MAKES SALTY SPEECH.
Washlnton, May 22.—Reference was
* ■
made In the house today to the long
and at times wearing debate In the
senate on the railroad rate bill, Mr.
Jenkins (Republican) of Wisconsin,
chairman of the judiciary committee,
addressed that body on pending rail
road rate legislation. He was listened
to with great Interest by both sides,
applause following a number of his
terse periods. <
After considering the legal phases
of the question he proceeded to Bay
that Instead of making the bill consti
tutional by Including court review, It
would, In his opinion, make It abso
lutely valueless to confer upon the
court the power to pass upon the rea
sonableness of the rate.
He contended that congress had the
right to fix the rate and he thought the
better argument would be that he ju
dicial power can not Interfere unless
congress so wills It,
"Reasonableness," said Mr, Jenkins,
"Is an elastlo, relative term. 'The
carrier Initiates the rate. The dissat
isfied shipper appealB to the commis
sion, tho commission fixes the rate,
the disBatlsiled carrier appeals to the
court, Exclude the question of cost
and delay, both important to the ship
per, and the absolute worthlessness of
the legislation will appear, when the
people discover that interstate rates
cannot be fixed upon a reasonable
haBiB subject to court review,
"The people are not going to he
quieted or abate their interest in this
matter. They are thoroughly aroused
and in earnest. The servant ot the
people who falls or refuses to do his
duty and come to the relief of the peo
ple will he lost in the current of dis
approval and will never he found or
again return. I deny that demagogues
have brought about this condition of
affairs. The carrier alone is respori- ,
sible, absolute defiance of law, selfish
ness and utter disregard of the rights .
of the people have marked the course.”
(Applause.)
