Expreds Company M»y Appeal.
Attorney General J. M. Terrell has
been notified by the counsel for the
Southern Express Company that an
effort would be made to take the decis
ion of the circuit court of appeals,
which relieves the shipper in Georgia
of paying tbe tax on express receipts,
by certiorari to tbe supreme court of
United States.
The decision of the express com
pany’s counsel is somewhat of a sur
prise to officials of the state, as for the
past year the company has practioally
obeyed the rule of tbe railroad com
mission and paid the tax of one cent
on ewery receipt, pending tbe decision
of the circuit court of appeals. This
opinion was rendered by the court
with one judge, Shelby, of Alabama,
dissenting, and it is probable that this
fact has induced the company’s coun
sel to seek appeal to the supreme
court.
The decision of the circuit court of
appeals in the express case was one of
the greatest victories ever obtained for
the state railroad commission. It
means that on all intra-state business
or packages sent within the state from
one point to another the express com
panies doing business in Georgia must
pat the stamp on their receipt at their
own expense.

Seventee-n Favored Plank.
There were seventeen members of
the platform committee of the Demo
cratic state convention who were in
favor of state prohibition.
When the question came up for dis
cussion in the committee meeting it
called forth much discussion. Several
of the members were very much in
favor of making the prohibition issue
a plank in tbe platform but it was
finally decided for the sake of harmony
in the party to leave out the question
altogether.
It is the opinion of a majority of the
members of the platform committee
the state convention would have voted
down such a plank but one of them
stated that the question might have
led to a big discussion and for that
reason they thought it best not to
make mention of it

But my subject also people impresses me with
the fact that when start t* follow

boats, and I have □ o doubt they said,

when the winds swept down and the soa

that following Christ was not smooth sail

found it.
Did you ever notice the end of the life
of the apostles of Jesus Christ? You
would say if over mem ought to have Had
a smooth life, a smooth departure, Christ, then
those men, the disc.pies of Jesus
ought to have had such a departure and
such a life. St. James lost his head. St.
Philip was hung to death on a pillar. St.
Matthew had his life dashed out with a
halberd. St. Mark was dragged to death
through the streetR. St. James the Less
was heated to death with a fuller’s club.
St. Thomas was struck through with a
spear. Thev did not find following Christ

a
fire; Hugh McKail in the hour of martyr
dom; the Albigenses, the Waldenses. the
Scotch Covenanters—did they find it
smooth sailing? But why go into history
when we can draw from our own memory
illustrations of the truth of what I say?
A young man in a store trying to serve

life of the Christian religion must suffer
persecution. If you do not find it in one
way you will get it in another way. But
be not disheartened! Take courage. Yen
are in a glorious companionship. God
will see you through all trials, and He
will deliver you.
My subject also impresses me with the
fact that good people sometimes get fright

they rushed into the back part of the

and sent down to New Brunswick
to get John Livingston to stop the re

went and looked at the revival. They

of the church of God is not in revivals.

Christ can hush a tempest. It did seem

RATES NOT TOO HIGH.
Chairman Jones Exonerates Kansas City
Hotels of Alleged Overcharges.
Six members of the Democratic ex
ecutive committee on arrangements
for the Kansas City convention held a
brief meeting in that city Friday.
The members met particularly to in
vestigate the oft-repeated charges that
the Kansas City hotel keepers are de
manding extortionate rates for the en
tertainment of convention guests.
After the meeting National Chair
man James K. Jones issued a state
ment to the country in which he
gives assurance that not only can
accommodations be had at reason
able rates, but that, as the situation
appears to him, convention visitors to
Kansas City may be taken care of at
more reasonable rates than has been,
the case at any former convention.
