Only Iresident's Signature Necessary to Abolish the Court. A Washington, D. C, dispatch of June llth says: "Only the signature of President Taft now is required to abolish the Commerce Court of the United States. The legislating out of existence of that tribunal, created only two years ago, and which the Supreme Court of the United States recently de clared had exceeded its powers, final ly and definitely was determined on to-day when the Senate by a vote of 36 to 23, defeated an amendment to make provision for maintaining the court in the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill. By this vote the Senate reversed its own appropriation committee, which had recommended the adoption of the amendment. This put both Houses of Congress in accord on the matter after abolishing the court. There is a likelihood, it was asserted in of ficial circles to-night, that President Taft would veto the bill because of the elimination." ! President Will Stand Court. by Commerce Washington, D.

The Bible is a good text-book. It generally has two standards. When it speaks of class or party, it general ly has two in contrast, o rone pit tied against the other. In Christ's day there were five classes of people who thought he had come to earthly kingdom, get the offices, etc., and for that reason, they did not like him much. Christ knew they were politicians, some lesser and some greater. To apply the rule of two to them, Christ divided them into two parties: (1) Publicans and Sinners, (2) Scribes, Pharisees, and Hypocrites. We now only two parties. ban rebelion.

"At the special term of court which convened here January 8th he was acquitted while the principal witness against him, John Ross, col ored, confessed to wielding the axe that killed Mr. Dixon and is in Ral eigh awaiting electrocution, August 14th.

A dispatch sent out from Augusta, Ga., yesterday afternoon says: "Distinct earth shocks were felt here, at Columbia, S. C, and Savan nah, Ga., at 5:30 o'clock this morn ing. Houses rocked and sleeping in habitants were rudely awakened from their beds which swayed and moved several inches. Three shocks were felt, each lasting about fifty seconds. As far as reported, little damage was done. None was hurt. The shock was felt more distinctly on the hills about the city. In the business part of the city the shocks were less perceptible. Considerable alarm was felt among the negroes. Before the last shocks ceased, many knelt in prayer. At Savannah the vibrations were east and west; and houses there were rocked slightly, swaying pictures and light furniture! A peculiar feature of the quake at Columbia was that persons within doors felt the vibrations more than those in the open. Their beds moved I several inches.
