opinion to-day in the suit cnioining
the Richmond Il Danville Railroad
Company from operating the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
system under the lease recently
made, and which is to be acted on
by the stockholders December 22
The decision favors the plaintiffs,
who are holders Of deferred or com
mon stock. The chancellor's deci
sion is regarded as remarkable
document. and caused Il sensation

the ground that the two roads are
competing lines, and being cempet

Hiso contained in special act pass
ed by the Tennessee legislature in
1887, which prohibits combinations
Of competing lines of road.
In conclusion the chancellor said:
The path is plain before me, and |

The result is that an order NAV be
drawn granting the player for an
injunction to restrain the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Railway Company from ratifying
or approving or in any way recos
nizillg the so.called lease, or from
making any lease or other transfer

ton in the Georgia Assembly. w.
Fl. FELTON,, the opponent of monopo.
lies, who is the leader Of the rural
contingent in the House, has intro.
duccd IL bill which will probably
pass. 1t is intended to prevent
Georgia corporations from falling
into the hands Of mOnopolies and
fixes imprisonment ut 10 years for
President, Directors Or operating
officers who shall submit Georgia
corporation to the convenience or
business schemes of outsiders. The
penalty is to apply also to those
who SO combine within the State.
The Georgia Central system has
always been looked upon ais IL great
monopoly. In order to break its
strength the Legislature granted Il
charter to the Georgia and Cincn
natl road, which was afterward in
corporated into the East Tennes
see. 1t is under that charter that
the East Tennessee operates in this
State. III order to reach Chattan-
ooga, the Georgia and Cincinnati
had to parallel the Western and
Atlantic, which is the property OF
the State. The result was IL tlepre
citation of the State property, but
this was held to be offset by the
benefit OF competition. The recent
Richmond Terminal deal unites all
into one monopoly, defeats compe-
tition and bottles mp the States
property. This is the incentive
which is to move the Legislature.

RAILROAD AFFAIRS.

The present disturbance in south
ern railroad affairs is not without
intense consideration on the part OF
our citizens; for the Richmond Ter
minal deal, in its first movements
gives rise to questions Of exceeding
interest TO students of develop
mental policies.
We have noted how the Rich
mond Terminal Company. in con
troll of the East Tennessee and
Georgia Central Railroads, could
with an existing branch and q
small outlay, make itself the carrier
for all mines in East Tennessee
Eastern Kentucky and extreme
Southwest Virginia. A director
in the Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroad Company has be
come stakeholder in and the pres
ident Of branch railroad extend
ing from the East Tennessee main
line to Rogersville. ROgersvillc is
near the iron ores of Lee county
and the coal of Wise, and therefore
not distant from the Kentucky coal
and iron fields. Granted that this
extension will not he built, rail
road, in position to he g0bbled
by the Richmond Terminal, is in
process Of construction from Knox
vile to Cumberland Gap, the ex.
IRENE corner of Southwest Vir.
ginia. 1t would therefore become
possible for such gigantic concern
an the Richmond Terminal Rail.
read Company to defect everything
from Eastern Kentucky and cx.
treme Southwest Virginia to ports
outside the State of Virginia, and
furthermore to give an impetus to
the development Of those sections
of country to the cost of Virginia, in
the Southwest and through the
State ut large.
The question Of paramount i'm
,pOrtancc to us is: Shall the tide OF
trade flow through our borders and
10 our coast or shall it drift south
eastward and leave us at the apex
of IL triangle between northern and
southern drift Of business i?
We cannot at present sec the
Im,:srtcr in any other light than that
IN free rein given the Richmond
Terminal would make of Tennes.
asee, Alabama and Georgia such pre-.
jfcrred rivals to the south of It's as
lis Pennsylvania to our north. East
'ein Kentucky is Il solid bed of coal
ready for the southern furnaces and
southern seap0rts, and Richmond
Terminal extensions spoken of
would put Lyhchburg and Rich
mond at the mercy of Knoxville
and Atlanta.
On the other hand it appears to
us that every additional mile of
contemplated Norfolk and Western
track means unavoidably more and
more for Virginia towns. industries
and trade. We do not wish to see
the great volume of new traffic from
West Virginia and Kentucky turn
to the south or the north, but to
keep through the middle of the
State.
Many Of our esteemed Virginia
contemporaries do not seem to view
the matter as We do. Perhaps they
have more light on the subject We
are not in the confidence Of the
Norfolk aud Western as to it's poll.
cies nor yet are we "nntler its infiu
encc." We simply look at these
matters as they appear OH the face
and draw our own conclusions as to
futnro results Of probable condi-
tons. We are for Virginia first,
last and all the time, and we see
little to hope for in the consumma
nation of "a scheme that would Ill.
tlmately deprive the Norfolk and
Western Railroad of it's individu.
ality.
