Special to The Georgian. Jackson, MIm., Oct. 12.—One of the hardeat fought pieces of litigation that has ever come up In this state has been submitted to the supremo court. Prominent lumbermen In Houth Mis* slMlppi, who have leased the sixteenth of A section of land, are being .sued for cutting the timber off the land. The lumbermen set up that they have paid the taxes on this land for years and that they leased it with the distinct understanding that it was being leased for the timber. The .amount involved Is several million dollars. What at taches so much Interest to the case Is the fact that it was decided once by tha supreme court in favor of the lum bermen, but went back on a writ of error. Since that time there has been a change In the personnel of the court. A majority of the court decided that the lumbermen were right in their con tention. while Chief Justice Whlttield held that they were liable for the tim ber taken off. By assuming the authority to regu late switching on Interstate shipments the railroad commission Is now in a position to break up Injurious condi tions such as have existed in Atlanta for the past several weeks. Several weeks ago the Southern rail way declined to take the cars of the Louisville und Nashville containing coal and transfer the same to designated sidings or switches of its own. This worked a hardship on both manufac turers and local coal dealers. The worst feature of the row was that it threatened to affect every consumer of coal In Atlanta, as coal dealers stated that they could not get car-load ship ments placed where they wished, and It would necessitate raising the price un less the trouble was settled. Last week ttie railroad commission heard from interested parties reasons pro and con ns to why it should not assume authority to regulate such dif ferences under tho provisions of the new Steed act. In reaching the de cislon that It has such authority the commission will assess a fine of $1 per day demurrage for failure to perform switching services promptly, the same penalty exacted of consignees for fail ure to unload freight promptly. Tho uniform charge for switching a car is fixed at 92. No decision was handed down In In terstate shipments, but the question was left for future consideration. The commission also decided that the continuous mileage rulo should be ap plied to the Central and its connection, the Wad ley Southern, under which namo tho Wadley «nd Mount Vernon and the Stlllmore Air Line were re cently chartered. At the hearing lost Sole Atlanta Agents for Stein-Bloch Smart Clothes. The Store for Style and Quality The choicest fabrics count for little if the shape is wrong—out of date. It is the shape and fit that, catch the eye--what every good dresser wants most of all. / Style, quality and fit are the leading trumps at Emmons—and especially quality. The style of every garment must be absolutely correct, the materials must be all-wool, linings the best— and everything else that goes,to make a perfect garment must be “put in” before it can bear the label of . Emmons. Another good feature of Emmons Clothing is the fit and shape retaining qualities—which is the result of hand-tailoring, the work of the best journeymen tailors. Turn Your Face Into Dollars. Many a Man Hat Failed Because Hia Face Was a Picture of Calamity. It takes nunshlno to produce a rote, perfect rose. And so man, to be successful, must have sunshine Inside. The life which has it not, which has no health and no happiness, Is sour, surl: pessimistic, and a failure. Tho wori already has too many vinegar faces that breathe ill-will and strife. The orld wants joy, comfort, sunshine, and will cling to tho man who has it, who radiates gladness and triumph wherever he Is and under all circuit) stances. Some people have a genius for seek ing out the disagreeable, the crooked, the bad am! the ugly. These aro the destroyers; they travel In schools, they herd together for they love their kind, and *.he cheerful part of the world have nothing to do with them. And why Is it that so many peddle disaster, knowing at the same time that If they do their lives will be ruined? Some people can not help it, for pes slmfsm usually comes from bodily dls- orders, and this cannot always be pro vented. The stomach, for Instance. Is the most common cause of discontent, sour face, recklessness, disgust and luck of ambition. A bad stomach,— there ts the secret of many a failure. Anyone can have a good stomach, a strong stomach, a stomach that can take care of anything and everything that Is put into It, no matter whether It is a very bad stomach now or not.

This ruling will mean a great saving to peoplo along the line of the Wndley Southern, as It will reduce freight rates from 5 to 25 per cent, according to the length of the haul. “FALL OF POMPEII" CHEERED BY BIG AT “UNCLE REMUS” INVITED TO PUTNAM COUNTS FAIR An audience of nearly 2,000 witnessed the "Fill of Pompeii” ond the pyro technic display of the Pain Fireworks Company In the south end of the race track at Piedmont park Thursday night. Despite the low temperature the people remained throughout the dis play, which was as complete oa It hna ever been, and felt well repaid for the shivers und shakes on the frost-cov ered seats. The program was complete and there was.not a pause throughout the pro duction. The show opened with the pageant of Pompeiian senators and other dignitaries. Roman guards, glndl- utors, standard-bearers, flower and ■lancing girls, atul Egyptian soldiers. The persecution of the Christians was an Interesting feature. The special program Included the best performers of the aerial trapexe who have ever visited Atlanta, Wills and Hasson, equilibrists: the Dondrns, flying trapeze artists: the three Rossi brothers, comedy acrobats, and Hurd- ley, Stevens and llurdley, grotesques. Mile. Hilda I’arolte and her troup of dancing girls brought forth demonstra tions of genuine appreciation from the hlverlng audience. ' No better display of fireworks has ever been seen in the South than the one which followed the destruction of Pompeii. This was accomplished In a startling manner. 8p*cial Fir* Pictures.

John R. Hudson, of Eatonton, Go., president of the Putnam County Fair Association, was In Atlanta Friday and attended the Georgia State fair. He Is hers for the purpose of securing attractions ■for his fair, which Is to open In Eatonton October 6. •‘You have one of the best fairs ever given In the South,” said he, "but we’re going to have a fair down In Putnam that will be one of the best, too. We like the way Atlanta doea things, and the management of our as sociation has been acquiring that spirit which accomplishes things. "Putnam Is the last of the counties to quit tho old system of farming. The county la made up of plantations and we want to break them up Into small farms. To do this we are Inviting homeseekers of the better class of peo ple. We want people who are thrifty and who can acquire and live on their own (arms. “Our section Is the home of wealth and ante-bellum culture and chivalry. It is the birthplace of “Uncle Remus,” Joel Chandler Harris, of your city, and arrangements are being made to have him vlslt-the scenes of his child hood. It Is a section of the state That has yet to be developed, and we want to develop It. "We want to broaden out and loosen up, and shake off the lethargy that ha* prevented development, and this fair of oura will show what wo can do. Our pumpkin* are Just as large, our apples just as sweet, and our cotton la just as fine as any In the land, and a visit to the fair, will prove It." ATLANTAN TELLS GRAPHIC STORY OF GREAT STORM A thrilling story of the ruin wrought by the gulf storm of just two weeks ago is brought .to Atlanta by St. Elmo Massengale, of the Massengale Adver tising Agency, who returned Thursday from a business trip to New Orleans. “No human could give a complete and adequate picture of the scenes of ruin along the gulf country from Mo bile to Bay St. Louis. The sweep of wind and wave must have been tre mendous, for everywhere are evidences of Its terrible destructiveness." said. “From Gulfport, Biloxi and Scran ton, Miss., miles of railroad trackage In the marshlands was literally lifted und carried In many Instances hundreds of yards and stood up like a fence. Throughout that territory there Is a tangled snarl of wires that apparently no human agency could ever unravel. “You have seen a kitten take a ball of worsted and tanglo It Into ap un- solvable snarl? Well, that Is what those wires looked like. In this ter ritory there were many turpentine plants. The wind mowed down the trees as a gale would n wheat field.

Moblle’a beautiful shell road Is a complete ruin. It will lake months and months to straighten out the dam age wrought by the storm. The rail roads have laid new tracks, but the operation of trains Is a hazardous prop osition, because wires are lacking and the new tracks are not made for high speed. The roads are doing nn enor mous amount of work, and thousanda of laborers are busied repairing the damage.

LYNCHING NOT RIGHT ■ REMEDY FOR GRIME Two phases of Rev. C. B. Wllmer's address on the negro problem before the Sociological Society at Carnegie Hall Thursday night, attracted special attention. The speaker made It warm for those people who argue: “Stop the crime and lynching will cease.” He said that such a statement practically mean* this: “We, the proud Anglo-Saxons, are so Ignorant and morally low that we cannot devise a better rem lynching for the crime, and until you stop the crime, we will put ourselves down on your plane of moral ity and Intellect." Such argument, surrender of the wise to the Ignorant of the strong to the weak.
