' Argument—Prior to the opening of the play a battalion of the Fifth regi ment. drilling at South Pryor and Hun ter streets, according to the rules and regulations of war, the constitution and the thirty-nine aricles of religion. Is Interrupted by a street car. owned by the Octopus and driven by J. 8. De- Loach, motorman. The glass front of. the car Is smashed and the legglns torn ruthlessly from the leg of a private of the regiment. Therefore, comes the adjutant of the Fifth, crying out against the said motorman and praying Judgment against him before J. Bid 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 ori any stage In the Decatur street auditorium Thursday afternoon. A glance at the cast Will b* sufficient comment on the merit of the production, which was sparkling with wit, flowing with rhet oric and worthy a more extensive en gagement. The climax, when Motorman DeLoach, representing the street ra "; way company, was bound over to the grand Jury, was well received. A curtain dropper. In which the rail way brought a case against Private Lester Cook for smashing a glass front In a street car. waa not so successful, although It Introduced an amusing case of mistaken Identity. J"* curtain fell on the announcement that tit was the Alamo,, Org,nixed. '" ,r “ lan ' n " V /^P 1 ' 14.—Alumnae or- of ,he waa perfected wrong Cook—and It was shown con clusively that too. many Cooks spoil the broth. The 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 Railway and Electric Company, represented the defendant. A number of witnesses were Intro duced and a mlnuts 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 a few seconds, but the ear'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 cqr. 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 tho motorman as "hedless, reck less and with criminal negligence.” He Intimated that the "spirit of the cor poration behind the motorman had per colated through Ite employees, render ing them arrogant and 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 and contended that nothing In the law gave militia a right of way on the streets except when go ing to or returning from their dptles, this not Including ordinary drilling. He contended 'that a militia company might block a street and force all cltl zens 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 drawn 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 glass In the street car and a conductor on another line testified that Cook had told hlm.that he (Cook) had broken the glass. Pri vate Cook testified that he had never seen the conductor before and that he had walked home after the drill. There was another man In the regiment who looked like him. who wss an assistant cook for the battalion when In camp. Judge Broyles dismissed this case. WITHIN NINE YEARS —SAY8 P. WOODWARD. Municipal Ownership of Water Meter Privileges Turned Trick. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Jesus Silences the Sadducees and Pharisees MARK 12: 13-27 GOLDEN TEXT: Render unto Caesar the things wblcb are Caesar’s, and unto God the things which ire God’s. MARK 12:17 UNKNOWN LEPER HEADED FOR RICHMOND IN TRAIN Winchester, Vs. Sept. 14.—A man well dressed and afflicted with leprosy yesterday reached Winchester. Local police were notlfirt and acting upon orders Issued by Acting Mayor W. P- McGuire, they refused to allow 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 the j South. Over $100,000 has been saved property holders of. Atlanta In nine years by one of the minor features of the water-works being placed under municipal control. These figures are purposely conser vative and are given to answer one of the strong points put out 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 1867 It was found that water meters, which at that time were being furnished property owners, along with the connections, for 626 and 660 each by a private conoem, ■e not of the beat quality and that the private concern was making some thing like 10 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 67 and 68. Since then the city has used the Hersey 612 rotary meter and the Trident 68.60 meter to laco the Forker when necessary. ’or the connection and meter tho city charges 615, which Is a saving on every small tap of III, as the private concern charged 626 for tho tame ser vice. About 10,000 meters have been put In Itli connections during the past nine years, so that now nearly all the old Thompson 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 Insures the water-works 60 cents a month more every month for at leaat one year. "The greater thrift shown by private corporations than In municipal control. Is usually along the lines ot getting cheaper article* and charging tht pub- lie more money.” By DR. GEORGE A. BEATTIE. Tho Incidents In this lesson occurred In the court of the tomple on the last day of Christ’s public ministry. It was His last conflict with the Jewish aU' the ,horU,er ' Ho was scarcely seated the temple when His enemies attempt ed to entrap Him. There were two things they wished to establish, vis.. 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 DIVORCED WIFE WEDS SURGEON IN ARMY New York, Bept. 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. Fre mont, U. S. A., and Surgeon Frank Woodbury, of the army, who Is sta tioned In the Philippines. The dis patches say that Woodbury and his bride are living at Fori McKinley. Mrs. Woodbury has one son. Francis T. B. Fremont, now grown, and not many years younger than her new husband. WAGES HAVE RAI8ED FOR COTTON PICKER8 Hperlsl to The Georgian. Amertcua, Ga., Sept. 14.—The recent rains 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 4 to tal wagon receipts here much smaller. Labor Is scarce and cotton pickers are In heavy demand, and prices have now raised to 60 cents per hundred, which Is hurting the farmer badly. ’his has often happened. The Pharisees were the heroic na tlonal 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 Jesus, and their willingness to resort to any means or ally themselves with any par ty for His destruction. The Herodlans might Interrogate Jesus without any suspicion ot sinister motives, while the Pharisees, anxious to put Him off His guard, did not come to Him In person. It would see/u they 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 flatter 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 was 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 yes or no. They would put Him between the Scyl la and the Chsrybdls. 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 Jewe and the great mass of people would be offended. Jeeus read their hearts, and saw through their plank at once. Without answering' their question. He bade them bring Him a penny, a denarius which was worth about 18 cents. Then looking at It, os He held It In 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 wss 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 dissolute tyrant wss on this particular coin and that It was not one of those coins without the likeness of the Ro man emperor, which had been minted as a concession to Jewish prejudice! Wo lose something of the force ot Ills answer In our translation. They ask ed Is It lawful to give, using the Greek Word from which we derive our word donate. His answer was, "Render— give back—to Caesar the things which are Caesar’s." By this He meant not only the taxes, but everything to which Caesar was entitled as the legitimate ruler. Chrlet’s word meant, fulfill your obligations to the state, since your very coins show you have such obliga tions. It was not a voluntary gift, a donation, but a legal due, a political necessity. It was understood among the Jews that to accept the coinage of any king was to acknowledge his su premacy. By accepting the denarius as a current coin, they were openly declaring that Caesar was their sov ereign, end they had settled the ques tion themselves by paying It. They were only returning an equivalent for advantages which they enjoyed. No man can be a gooff, cjtixen 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 port the government that protects him In his property and person. Yet thoro are many who would not pay their taxes If they were not obliged to, nnd who hy misrepresentation, cheat and defraud. What an Increase In revenue there would be If everyone would giro to the assessor the same value th< would to a prospective purchaser' Jesus would not leave them with this 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 eymbol of hie authority, end which bears his Image and super scription. You are created In the Im age of God, you bear hie superscrip tion, 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 His hands. Ths Ssddueae’i Question. The Herodlans failed: the Pharisees thought they might-have better suc cess. They did not believe In a future life or the resurrection of the dead, and they would ask Him a question that would show Its absurdity. Ridicule Is the keenest weapon ever used In controversy. They tell Him of a woman who mar ried seven brothers In succession, after each husband died, and then ask whoss wife she will be In the resurrection. According to the Talmudic*] writ ings. the Pharisees had settled that question by saying that she 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 more frivolous than malicious. He told them that they erred, partly from Ignorance of the Scriptures, which they professed to believe and the power of God. Fancying there was 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 Mosee at the burn ing brush, when He said He was ■till— not had been—the God ot Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; the God of not the dead, but the Ood of the living. He told them their conception of the reeurrectlon life waa wrong.

There will be no sex In the spiritual kingdom, but oil 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 n wife In heaven, else others who had been married here would have been the recipient of that much more happiness than himself. The remembrance of this relation ship may 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 mero cartbltness of human, mortal re lationship arc superseded and trans figured. Thero are people today who hold er roneous conceptions of heaven, because tin y c.Hill'd separate the ourthly from the spiritual. Ella Wheeler Wllcov ln a recent lubllshed article,'advocates the Immor ality of tho animals which Is ns ab surd as the transmigration of souls In- some animal on earth. Some boya were once discussing this doctrine and one boy said If It was true he would like to be a hawk and ltvo on chickens. Another sold he would like to would be afraid of him; anothe he would like to bo a wasp so he could sting the school teacher. We forget that everything has Its season and Its mission, nnd that the conditions only Inst ns long ns they are necessary. Thore will be children In heaven, a great multitude of them, not by generation, but by regeneration. There will bo no occasion for the mar riage relation. We will leave behind us our bodily nppetltcs nnd passions. Wo will not eat or drink or bo 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 with her breath fouled with tobacco smoke, when she replied, "When I go, I ’si>oct to leave my brent’ behln’ me." Not only Were the enemies of Christ utterly discomfited lit their efforts to entrap Him, but He taught great truths that have been the comfort and con solation of the ages. Ills disciples nlso would be prepared believe In Ills resurrection which was to occur a few days later on which depended their assurance that He was the long premised Messiah. It would strengthen their faith In their own future life and enable them to meet the trials that awaited them, giving them new power and Inspiration.
