Action of the play, two hours and thirty minutes. Properties—Diagram of Pryor street. Photographs of Pryor street. Measure ments of Pryor street. The Dick bill. The black book of drill tactics. Nine teen law books, three affidavits and a I sample of Pryor street mud. Argument—Prlhr to the opening o the play a battalion of the Fifth regt ment, drilling at South Pryor and Hun ter streets, according to the rules and regulations of war, the constitution and the thirty-nine arlcles of religion, Is Interrupted by a street ear, owned by the Octopus and driven by J. 8. De- Loach, motorman. The glass front of the car Is smashed and the legglna torn ruthlessly from the leg of n private of the regiment. Therefore, comes the adjutant of the Fifth, crying out against the said motorman and praying udgment against him before J. Sid Holland, acting recorder. The said Holland declines to be the goat and leaves the question-open. It appears again before Judge Broyles. Before an audience which filled every chair from the entrance to the prison doors, "The Battle of South Pryor was produced for the first time on any stage In the Decatur street auditorium Thursday afternoon. A glance at the cast will be sufficient comment on the merit of the production, which wan sparkling with wit. flowing with rhet- oric and worthy a more extensive en gagement. Th* climax, when Motorman DeLoach, representing the street rail- way company, waa bound over to the grand Jury, was well received. “La curtain dropper. In which the rail way brought a case against Ihrlvate Lester Cook for smashing a glass front m a street ear. was not so successful, although It Introduced an amusing esse of mistaken Identity. The curtain fell the announcement Jthat It was the wrong Cook—and It waa shown con clusively that too many Cooks spoil the broth. Th* Right of Way. Whether the state militia has the right of way over the streets during drills or whether the street car com pany may rush- a car through the regi ment at Its own sweet will, was the question Involved In the trial before the recorder and the Individual guilt of Motorman DeLoach cut but little fig ure. George N. Napier, Judge advocate general of the regiment, represented the militia and the state and was as sisted by Burton Smith, adjutant of the regiment. Bennett J. Conyers, counsel of the Georgia • Rnllway and Electric Company, represented the defendant. A number of witnesses were Intro duced and a minute explanation of mil Itary maneuvers followed. It was shown that the battalion had been drilling on South Pryor street In front of the court house when a car approached. An order was given which would have cleared the track In n few seconds, but the car's speed was Increased and after passing two companies It dashed into the third. The glass front of the car was smashed by Irate members of the battalion and several men were bruised by the collision with the car. A mass of legal authority waa quoted to show that the militia has an abso lute right of way and In his argument Mr. Napier characterised the conduct of the motorman as "hedless, reck less and with criminal negligence.” He Intimated that th* "spirit of the cor poration behind the motorman had per colated through Its employees, render ing them arrogant nnd Indifferent to the rights of the public.” An Impassioned Appeal. Mr. Conyers, In’ an Impassioned ar gument, defended the rights of a street car on the streets nnd contended that nothing In the law gave militia a right of way on the streets except when go ing to or returning from their duties, this not Includlng’ordlnary drilling. Ho contended that a militia company might block a street and force all cltl- xens to climb a tree or retrace their steps until they might escape the on slaught of the advancing horde. The trial was enlivened with rare bits of humor and occasional sharp thrusts added ginger to the long drown out contest. The state Insisted that the motorman be bound over to a higher court for his offense against the state In order that a test might be made of the rights of the state troops and after hearing a lengthy argument Recorder Broyles held DeLoach for the grand Jury, placing him under 6100 bond. At the close of this trial Mr. Con yers, for the street railway company, filed a case against Private Lester Cook, of Company A. Cook was accus ed of breaking the gins* In the street car and a conductor on another line testified that Cook had told him that he (Cook) had broken the glass. Pri vate Cook testified that he had never seen the 'conductor before anil that he had walked home after the drill. There was another man In the regiment who looked like hlin, who was an assistant cook for the battalion when In camp. Judge Broyles dismissed this ease. ui —8AY8 P. WOODWARD, S Municipal * Ownership oi Water Meter Privileges Turned Trick. UNKNOWN LEPER HEADED FOR RICHMOND IN TRAIN Winchester, Va, Sept. 14.—A man welt dressed and afflicted with leprosy yesterday reached Winchester. I-oml police were notified and acting upon orders Issued by Acting Mayor «. P- . McGuire, they refused lo allow the J South. leper to get off the train. The man would not give his name, but stated that he had boarded the train at Pied mont, W. Va, and was on his way to Richmond. Va. He left here for the Over <100,000 has been saved the property holders of Atlanta In nine years by one of the minor features of the water-works being placed under municipal control. These figures aro purposely conser vative and are given to answer one of the strong points put nut by advocates of private ownership of public utilities. It Is claimed that the Industry and push shown by a monopoly Is lacking In municipal ownership. In 16*7 It waa found that water meters, which at that time were being furnished property owners, along with th* connections, for <29 and «o each by a private concern, 'e not of the best quality amr that the private concern was making some thing like <0 to 80 per cent on each connection. An ordinance written by Colonel Park Woodward, manager of the water works, was placed before council and passed, which took the contracts out of private hands and placed them with the department. At that time the Thompson meter was being placed In houses. This meter cost between <7 and <8. Since then the city has used the Hersey <12 rotary meter and the Trident <8.60 meter to replace the Forker when necessary. For the connection nnd meter the city charges <16, which Is a saving on every small tap of <11. ns the private concern charged <20 for the same ser vice. About 10,000 meters have been put In with connections during the past nine years, so that now nearly all the old Thompnnn meters are replaced with the new and better kind furnished by the city. Manager Woodward said on this subject: "We are able to put In the expensive meters at the low figure for two rea sons. First, the city does not exact an enormous profit, and. In the second place, every meter put In Inaures the water-worka <0 centa a month more every month for at least one year. "Tho greater thrift ahown by private corporations than-ln municipal control, la usually along the lines of getting cheaper articles and charging the pub lic more money.” DIVORCED WIFE WEDS SURGEON IN ARMY New York, Sept. 14.—Dispatches re ceived here from Manila today an nounced the marriage there yesterday of Mrs. Carolina Townsend Fremont, divorced wife of Major Francis P.

Americus, Ga, Sepl. 14.--The recent ralna^and heavy winds are doing much' damage to cotton In Sumter and ad joining counties. Today another rain and windstorm occurred. It also pre vented picking, which makes the to tal wagon receipts here much smaller. Labor Is scarce and cotton picker* arc In heavy demand, nnd prices have now raised to SO cents per Hundred, which Is hurting the farmer badly. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Jesus Silences the Sadducees and Pharisees MARK 12: 1 GOLDEN TEXT: Render unto Caesar the things which aro Caesar**, and unto God the things which are God’s. MARK 12:17 By DR. GEORGE A. BEATTIE. The Incidents In this lesson occurred In the couri of the temple on the last day of Christ's public ministry. It was His last conflict with the Jewish au thorities. lie was scarcely seated In the temple when His enemies attempt ed to entrap Him. There were two things they wished to establish, via, that His teachings were In opposition to the civil authority and the Jewish law. the penalty for which In the one case was crucifixion, and In the other death by stoning, but death In both cases. To carry out this plot the Pharisees and Herodlans, who usually ranked In opposition to each other, were united for the destruction of Him whom they regarded as a common enemy. This has often happened, The Pharisees were the heroic na tional party, while the Sadducees were the priestly aristocratic party, who al ways allied themselves with the ruling power. The Pharisees were the ra tionalists and the Sadducees were the ritualists of that time. The Herodlans wished to strengthen the family Herod by keeping It on good terms with Roman Imperialism. That the Pharisees should form an alliance with such men as these, who opposed their most cherished prejudices, only shows their extreme hatred of Jesua, and their willingness to resort to any means or ally themselves with any par ty for Hla destruction. The Herodlans might Interrogate Jesus without any suspicion of sinister motives, while the Pharisees, anxious to put Him off His guard, did not come to Him In person. It would seem thoy wished to convey the Impression that a dispute had occurred between them and the Herodlans, and they had de cided to refer It to Christ for Ills, de cision. They attempted to flutter Him by acknowledging Him as a great teacher and one who could render an Impartial decision. The question they asked was, "Is It lawful to give tribute to Caesar?” The word rendered tribute Is properly the word census, and denoted the an nual poll tax which waa levied on the people for the support of the Roman government. The Herodlans favored It; the Jews were much opposed to It. ' The Dilemma. They expected Him to say yea or no. They would put Him between the Scyl- and the Charybdl*. If He said It was not right to pay this tax, then He would be In collision with the Roman government. If He said It was right, then the Jews and the great moss of people would he offended. Jesus read their hearts, and saw through their plans at once. Without answering their question, He bade them bring Him a penny, a denarlua which was worth about 19 cents. Then looking at It, as He held It tn His hand. He asks the question. Whose Image- and superscription Is this?" And they said Caesars, the name by which the Roman emperor was called, and that has come down to us in the German Kaiser, and the Russian Csar. The emperor Issuing the coin usual ly had his Image stamped upon It, and the Inscription Included the name and titles of the emperor. On the one side of this coin was stamped the beautiful features of Tiberius and on the obverse his title of Ponttfex Maximus. Was It an accident that the face of the cruel dlsrolute tyrant waa on this particular coin and that It was not one of those coin* .without the llkenes* of the Ro man emperor, which had been minted as a concession to Jewish prejudice? We lose something of the force of His answer In our translation. They ask ed Is It lawful to give, using the Oreek word from which we derive our word donate. His answer was. "Ilender- glve hark—to Caesar the things which are t'aeaar’a.” By this He meant not only the taxes, but everything to which Caesar was entitled as tba legitimate ruler. Christ's word meant, fulfill your obligations to tho state, since your very coins show you have such oDHga< lions. It was not a voluntary gift, i donation, but a legal due, a political necessity. It was understood among the Jews that to accept the coinage ol' any king was to acknowledge Ills su premacy. By accepting th* denarius as a current coin, they were openly declaring that Caesar was their sov erelgn. and they had settled the quet tlon themselves by paying It. They were only returning an equivalent for advantages which they enjoyod. No man ran bo a good cltlsen or a patriot, no matter what the form of government or’ the character of the ruler, who evades the payment of his taxes to sup rt the government that protects hln his property and person. Yet there aro many who would not pay their taxes If they were not obliged to, nnd who by misrepresentation, cheat nnd defraud. What an Increase In revenue there would be If everyone would in the assessor the same value ould to a prospective purchaser! Jesus would not leave them with lesson only. He would Improve the opportunity of teaching them a great lesson. He said to them, to Caesar you owe the coin which you have ad mitted as the symbol of his authority, and which bears his Image and super' sqriptlon. You are created In the lim ago of God, you bear his superscrip' tlon, to God you owe yourselves. When you give to Him, It Is not a donation, but giving back to Him that which you have received from Hla hands. The 8adducs*'s (Question. Ths Herodlans failed; the Pharisees thought they might haye better sue cess. They did not believe In a future life or the resurrection of the dead, and- they would aak Him a question that would show Its absurdity. Ridicule Is yie keenest weapon ever used In controversy. They tell Him of a woman who mar tied seven brother* In succession, after each husband died, and then aak whose wlfo she will be In the resurrection. According to the Talmudlcal writ ings, the Pharisees had settled that question by saying that aha would be the wife of the first husband. He did not denounce them as hypo crites as did the Pharisee/, nor an swer them with the same sternness, because their question Indicated that their purpose waa mora frivolous than mnllcloua. He told them that they erred, partly from Ignorance of the Bcriptures. which they professed to believe and the power of God. Fancying there waa no/'sanction either for the Immortality of the soul or the resurrection in the Pentalench, the Sadducees sneered at both doc trines. They had referred to Moses, so Christ refers to Him. He showed them that men do not cease to exist by what God spoke to Moses at the burn ing brush, when He said He was still— not had been—the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; the God of not the dead, but the God of the living. He told them their conception of the resurrection life was wrong. The children of this world marry and are given in marriage because they are mortal and marriage Is necessary for the perpetuation of the race. But those who are raised from the dead will not marry nor be given In marriage, for being Immortal they will not die any more. There will be no sex In the spiritual kingdom, but all will be as the angels of God. An old bachelor who thought there must be no happiness In this world equal to connubial bliss, consoled him self with the thought that God would give him a wife In heaven, else others who hod been married here would have been the recipient of that much more happiness than himself. The remembrance of this relation ship giay be remembered, but there will be no such relation there. The Inhabi tants of heaven will be sorted, but not consorted. In that heaven beyond the lie IS GIVEN TO KILL HEBREWS IN RUSSIAN CITY Officers in Army Fear to Serve on Court »' Martial. Special Cable—Copyright.

Ella Wheeler Wllcov In a recent mbllshed article, advocates tho Immor ality of the animals which Is os ab surd as the transmigration of souls In to some animal on earth. Some boys were once discussing this doctrine nnd one boy sold If It was true he would like to be a hawk and live on chickens. Another eald he would like to be a he afraid of him; another add he would like to be a wasp so ha eoaM ating the school teacher. We forget that everything lias its season and Its mission, and that the conditions only lost as long as they are necessary. There will be children in heaven, e great multitude of them, net by generation, but by regeneration. There will be no occasion for the mar riage relation. We will leave behind us our bodily appetites and passions. We will not eat or drink or be married in the spiritual world. An old colored woman, who was very fond of her pipe, was once reproved of her habit, and after being reminded that nothing impure or defiling could enter heaven, was asked how she thought she could go to heaven "lit!- her breath fouled with tobacco smoke, when she replied, "When l go, I - s|iect to leave my breat' behln' me.” Not only were the enemies of Christ utterly discomfited In their efforts to Him, but He (aught great truths ,ve been the comfort and con solation of the ages.
