MILEAGE RULING
IN NEXT 10 DAYS
Railway Commission's Hear
ing Is Ended—Roads Hint at
Withdrawing Books.
The Mate railroad commission within
the next ten days wfll fender its 4' -
eislon on the question of accepting
mileage tickets on trains, the hearing
on the matter having ended after two
days of argument
James L. Mayson, attorney for the
traveling men. declared at the cloVe of
rhe hearing that the railroads might
withdraw their interchangeable mile
age hooks and charge commercial
travelers the regular rates for tick
ets. if they so desired, but he would
still insist the rule against pulling
mileage on trains was unreasonable
In spite of the intimation that th'
roads might retaliate by withdrawing
their bonks
Mr, Mayson admitted that he did not
believe the commission could enforce
an order requiring the acceptance of
mileage on trains, and that it would
be in its power to withdraw nil rate
concessions. If the traveling men could
ont get a whole loaf, they would rath
er have no bread at all, he said.
"We ask you to issue an orde- de
claring this regulation unreasonable,”
said Mr. 'Mayson "Then if the road'
desire to withdraw all mileage books,
let them do it. Rut they will have to
grant interchangeable mileage upder
reasonable regulationa Just as shirely as
the sun will rise tomorrow.”

CAPABLE OF SERVICE,
SO HIGH COURT RULES
According tn the State stipreme court,
a child 2 years, to months and 20 days
old may be capable of rendering-serv
ice, in the strict sense of the business
term.
In a decision In the suit of B. ,F.
Janies against the Central of Georgia
railroad for. damages for the death of
his child, the high court changed two
former decisions, reducing the age of
service from four years to a line some
where between two and one-half and
three years.
James had contended that his baby
w.c precmknis. robust and capable of
running errands, rendering service
worth $5 a month. The railroad as
serted such a claim was absurd. The
lower court agreed with the railroad,
but was reversed.

nature's ills and discomforts nature
provides remedies, and In Mother’s
