This will he even more trou blesome than the first, for at present there Is no rabbi near Atlanta who cuu perform the comnllcnted ceremony. In addition to all manner of testimony ami solemn ouths. the Jewish divorce cere mony, seldom performed, consists in the writing of a remarkable document, which can only lie done by u rabbi of long exnerl- ence.

When In the course of the testimony It w'iis brought out that there was some sort of an agree ment about the Hebrew divorce, the attor ney for the defendant used It as a point In hls favor. The case, which was based upon nllcgcd cruel treatment by the hus band, lasted all morning aud on luto the afternoon.

Informally the commis sioners decided to postpone the fixing of the rate until all were present. Mr. Stewart said: "Gentlemen, It Is a big Job, and we have but a short time. And, gentlemen, please make the rate an easy figure. Never have I known you to flx the rate at 31 on the hundred. Last year it was 98 cents, and that meant all kinds of ggurlng. The state will probably make their rate 60 cents, and if you make the county rate 60 rents thp total will be one dollar 'nnd much labor will be saved. Don’t any of you fellows try grahdstand play by cutting off or adding on any fractions." "I think,” snld Colonel Clifford An- ‘derson. solemnly, “that we might make the rate one dollar and one and three- eighth ccntB.” At this the assemblage laughed.

Atlanta. Rate clerks representing the railroad:! In the Southeastern Passenger Associa tion art In aeprion Wednesday at the olficea of the association In the Equi table building figuring out the winter tourists' rates. While It has not yet been announced, It Is generally believed In railroad cir cles that while these clerks are In ses sion that the question of Inter-llne rates In Georgia will be considered and hy doing so a cause of Inconvenience and confusion In Georgia at present will be removed. Ever since the order of the railroad commission .went Into effect Monday reducing the passenger fares, the roads have declined to sell through tickets Inside the state where the Journey was on more than, one road. Aa a result passengers have been greatly Incon venienced by having to re-check bag gage and buy other ticket!. It was claimed to he impossible with in so short a time to sell through tick ets under the circumstances. Before this can fie done and thing* put In a normal condition, It Is neces sary for the rate clerks to get together and figure things out, and this In volves considerable work. Notwithstanding the assertion of Chairman MrLendon of the railroad commission that the Western and At lantic Is amenable to the orders of tho commission throughout Its length ,to Chattanooga, the 2-cent rate had not been applied to Chattanooga Wednes day morning. Oeneral Passenger Agent C. E. Har man of the Western and Atlantic had received no advices as to a through rata Wednesday morning, and until he does receive orders, the 2-cent rata for ai> Interstate ticket to Chattanooga will remain In force. Of course It Is possible for passen gers to purchase tickets to a town near the state line at the 2-cent rate and then pay fare Into Chattanooga, but this fare to the end of the Journey must be paid at a higher rate because It Is paid on the train and If the pas senger has any baggage, It will be put off at the point- to where the ticket The opening ot_tbe fall term of the pub lic schools might really be dated from Tuesday morning, as the work for the teach ers liegsn then.
