Street Car Company Proposes
to Abandon East Belt Line
The local street car company has
abolished the East Belt car line for
food, unless such conditions arise that
warrant Its again being put In oper
ation .
Attorney Rushton. of the car com
pany, told the members of the Streets
and Franchise and Privileges Commit
tees of the City Council as much at a
meeting held yesterday. He said the
line had been operated at a loss
that the company could not afford, and
It was necessary to' discontinue that
branch of the car service.
i
The car company requests the City
Council to allow the removal of the
switch on High Street near McDonough
to a point on HI*ft Street between
Jackson and Ripley, the granting of
which request will enable the company
to give the patrons of the line In that
part of the city a schedule some live
minutes faster than It is now.
All of the committeemen, except Al
derman Jones, are In favor of the
granting of the request, but Mr. Jones
refused to give his opinion until he had 1
looked further into the matter.
Two Willies of the Same Name
Found Guilty qf Larceny
Willie Murphy tg net a. classic name
by any means; In (act It smacks of the
commonplace. But atlll, when the
Cltjr Court docket of yesterday bore the
names of two Willie Murphys, both of
them negrroes, and both charged with
grand larceny, and when both of the
Willies were found guilty of the
charge, the court peoplgbegan to scent
a coincidence.
But there they were, two Willie Mur
phyU One of them Is a town “coon,"
and against him was the charge of
stealing a watch; the other, hailing
from the country near Pike Road, was
alleged to have made away with a pair
of trousers belonging to some one else.
The Willie of the plants pleaded
guilty. The pants didn't lit him any
how, he says. The Willie of the watch
pleaded not guilty, but the Jury didn't
believe him, for they returned an ad
verse verdict.
It was a bad day for the two Willies
of the Murphy family, all right.

The case ol W. A. Sheppard, mana

Telegraph Company, which has refused
to pay Its license, was called In po
lice court yesterday evening, but was
postponed until March 9, because at
torneys for the defense wanted more

Many's representative was arrested Oh
a warrant sworn out by License In

to do business In the city for the year
1909.
At the reconstruction of the city li

It was found necessary by the City
Council to raise the license rates In
order ot meet the treasury deficit caus

TEARS BROUGHT FREEDOM
FOR BOY IN COURT
When the atmosplfisre became weepy
in Judge Pearson’s court yesterday. It
wad all up with the prosecution In the
habeas corpus hearing of W. Shantell,
and the prisoner gained his freedom.
8hantell had been arrested on the
charge of forgery, and was lodged In
Jail. He was held on a warrant sworn
out by a boy named Roberts, his erst
while friend and boon companion. A
witness In the case was A. M. Corze
lius, a mutual frlsnd of the two.
Corzellus. on the stand, broke down,
and the tears began. He told how he
had been a father to the two boy* how
they wore both good boys, and how
they had always been friends until the
forgery charge came.
Roberts, during the tears, thought of
the former friendship, and little qualms
arose, which caused him, vrhen going
on the stand as witness, to make light
of the charge which h« had entered
against ShAntsll.
Shantell was aceused of forging
Roberta’s name to an order for money,
which the latter had placed In the
hands of Corzellus for safe-keeping.
Prompted by his conscltnce and by
tha old friendship, Robert* told that
thers was a virtual agreement, where
by he was to have loaned Shantell a
portion of the 99 which Corzellus held.
Shantell, the charge ran, sent to Cor
seltu* an order for 92-50 of the money,
signed with Roberts’s name. But the
action looked all right, In the light of
Roberts's declaration on the stand, and
Shantell was released.

When the Judgment day comes, thej

So said Dr. Torrey In his aermor
last night. Ha also remarked that h<
had heard that certain church mem
bers of Montgomery called him narrow
and bigoted, because of his condemna
tion of the dance, the theatre and cart!
playing. He had heard that qn thai
account many of the church members
would not coma to hear him preach
Ha exclaimed:
"If their consciences are so clear,
why are they afraid to eome and listen

The auditorium was crowded at both

men with their families, attended the
evening service, when Dr. Torrey
preached what was perhapa the most
forceful and Interesting sermon of the
entire month. Announcement was
made that a Section of the auditorium
will be reserved on Sunday afternoon
for the travelling men who have head
quarters In Montgomery, as well as
any other travelling men who should
happen to be here on that day.
By his assertion that he hadn't much
use for those Christians who have to
be fed their Bible knowledge ‘‘with a

AFTERNOON SERVICE.
"How to Study the Bible," was the
subject of Dr. Torrey's eermon yester
day afternoon. He mid that the etudy
o( the Biblo la the moat profitable thing
outalde of praying, that a Chrlattan can
do. The trouble la, however, that many
Christiana don’t know how to study
their Blblea. He likened the Bible to
a gold mine, and aald that a number of
people don't know how to dig the gold
out. He spoke upon eleven ways to
atudy the Bible, saying in part:
"First—We should atudy the Bible
dally. It seems ,to be the moat com
monplace, yet It Ik the moat Important
way. The man who gets there in life,
la the man who keeps pegging away,
and the man who gets there In Bible
study is also the man who keeps peg
ging away. One can get more good
out of fifteen minutes spent with the
Bible every day than any amount of
time spent at the most wonderful Bible
conference In the world, or listening to
the moat remarkable address in the
world. The aoul should be fed every
day on the Bible Just aa well as a baby
should ha fed with milk every day. Ir
regularity In either case will Injure.
The beet time for atudy la In the early
morning.
"Second—We should study the Bible
systematically. System counts In /bus
iness and in domestic life, and there le
no place where it counts more than In
Bible study. A definite plan for work
is necessary.
"Third—We should stufiy the Bible
comprehensively. Christ studied the
whole Bible. We must. The sure way
to become a crank is to Just study one
thing. A crank is not a person that
turns things: a crank Is a thing that
is always revolving around the same
place. You don’t want to be a crank.
"Fourth—We should study the Bible
consecutively; begin at the beginning
as did Jesus Christ, and study the
whole Bible from the first veree of
Genesis to the last verse of Revela
tion. A good way to do It, Is to read,
each day, one chapter in the Old Tes
tament, one chapter in the New Testa
ment and one chapter In Psalms. To
be sure that we are reading the Bible
consecutively, thare are five questions
that we should ask ourselves; (1)
What Is the principal subject of this
chapter; (i) Who are the principal per
sons in this chapter; (Si What Is the
central leeson in this chapter; (4)
What Is the beet verse in this chapter,
and (5) What does this chapter teach
about Jesus Christ. Every chapter In
the Bible teaches something about Je
sus Christ.
"Fifth—We should study the Bible
comparatively. There is nothing in the
world that throws so much light on the
difficulties In the Bible as does the Bi
ble itself. It is better than all the
commentaries and dictionaries ever
printed. There is always some other
verse that will explain a difficult verse.
However, a Bible student should not be
without ’The Treasury of Scripture
Knowledge," which, next to the Bible,
I prize more highly than I do all the
other books In my library.
Sixth—"We should study the Bible
topically. Go through the Bible on
one subject until you have exhausted
It. Don’t take any man’s opinion. You
might begin with such subjects as
•Prayer,*. ’Grace,’ ’Salvation, ’ ‘The
Blood.' etc. Mr. Moody began with
Grace.’
Ocvcun»—n» a#ava**\a
attentively. We should know whet
we reed. A good many people think
that the Bible la going to do a deal of
good by Just lying In state on the
jenter-table. It isn’t; we must study,
rhe greatest enemy to study Is haste,
90 we should not decide upon how
nuch we will read, but how much
time we shall spend studying. To eum
t up In one word, we must read the
Bible thoughtfully.
Eighth—"Again, he should read
the Bible repeatedly. Read a book
through again and again—even ten or
wore times. When you have done that,
/ou will see that the book looks en
tirely new to you.
Ninth—"We should read the Bible
>ellevlngly. Read It as the Word of
>od, for that Is what It Is. Don’t
■oed It like other books. Believe It,
ind don’t try to explain It. Get into
he attitude that makes you think,
This Is God speaking to me.’ but,
ibove all, study It in God’s presence.
Tenth—"Study the Bible obediently.
)ne verse In the Bible obeyed, opens
he whole Book, but one verse In the
Bible disobeyed, closes the whole Book,
rohn vll, 17: ’If any man will do His
vlU, ho shall know of the doctrine,
vhether It be of God, or whether I
peak of myself.’ Is the greatest clue
o an open Bible that I know.
Eleventh—’’Last of all, we muet
itudy the Bible prayerfully, for there
■ nothing that open* the Bible for us,
>r opens our eyes to the Bible, like
>rayer. By prayer, we can have the
doly Ghost with us all tha time to
ihow us as we read. That la the great
isoret of Bible study—to study in tha
tptrlt; to know the Holy Obost and to
have Him for a teacher, U to have a
batter teacher than any human being
could poaelbly be."
Dr. Torrey concluded with a beautiful
•lmlle, In which ha likened the Illum
ination that the pretence of the Holy
Spirit aheda over tfie dafrk passages
of the Bible to the glow from a rush
torch that makes beautiful and aubllme
an otherwlae dark and dlamal cavern.
EVENING SEE VICE.
"The Judgment Day" waa the sub
ject of Dr. Torrey'a evening sermon.
The teat waa, Acta xvll, 30-11. He
said that there are live things about
the Judgment day aet forth In this
text. First, the certainty of It; sec
ondly, the universality of It; thirdly,
the basis of It; fourthly, the adminis
trator of It; and, lastly, the Issues of
It.
r
o
f
t
He dwelt upon each point at length,
showing the judgment day Is certain;
that every class of people will be
Judged; that we shall be Judged on
the basis, first, of "the deeds done I n
the body;" seoond, “the secret things;"
third, "by our words," and, fourth, "by
what we do with Christ."Christ will
be the judge: the Issues of the Judg
ment day will be sternal life or eternal
death.

j Additional Market Report•
‘ NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.
New York, March 8—After starting
slightly higher, today's cotton market
, eased off. closing steady at a net de
i cllne of 2®5 points. The market
, opened steady at unrhanired prices at
an advance of six points, near months
being generally higher In response to
better cables than expected, reports nf
i a better Manchester business, contin
ued talk of Improved spot demand and
, the absence of rain In the Southwest. ,
There was a renewal of realising
through wire houses with Chicago con
nections at the Initial adifence, how
ever. and while the market met consid
erable support, prices gradually sagged
off, with a moderate rally during the
middle session, followed by renewed
weakness toward the close, under re
ports from Houston that there was a
drtssllng rain at that point with pros
pacts of a big storm.
Last prices were a little up on May
but as practically the lowest on new
crop months. The rally following th»
early break was helped by Liverpool
buying, encouraging advices from
Southern spot maricsts, and light eet|
mates for tomorrow's receipts, but fof
*l*n support, being for the purpose of
undoing straddles, probably was with
drawn after the close of the English
market
After the local close, private wires
were received from the Southwest
claiming that no radns were In sight
and beyond the forecaat for unsettled
weather In East Texas, there was noth
ing In the official news to euggeat an
