ADAMS AND NATIONAL EXPRESS COMPANIES.
The applications for injunctions against the
National Express Company by several stock
holders who are really the agents of the Adams
Express, have had the effect of causing the
Southern stockholders to rally to the support Of
the National by paying up their subscrip-
tions. The injustice done the National by
the adams has added greatly to the popular
ity of the National in the South, and in
creases the almost certainty of its success. If
it can weather the present adverse storm, and
escape the financial breakers which at present
threaten, it will in future ride the waves sue
cessfully. The whole people are interested in
its success, as competition serves to keep down
the charges. IF the 'Adanls" should succeed
in breaking down the National" the former
will have the monopoly and can charge as much
as it pleases five have competing companies
we will be charged fair prices
