ATLANTA, Co., July s.-The Georgia
supreme court this morning reversed
the decision OF Judge Lampkin in the
Fulton superior court in the csse OF the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Railroad Company vs.. Boardman. The
Southern railway proposed to build ex-
tensive shops in the southern part OF
she city about the site OF the old shops

Georgia and abuttiDg property owners
hled suits, claiming damages on accou nj
OF obstruoted streets. The court took
the position shst the alleged injury was
one common to the public at large, and
shat the court below should not have

ATLANTA, Ga, July S.-Represents-
tive Thomas G. Lawson, of the Eighth
Georgia district, is out in lengthy in.
tefview in the Journal this afternoon
which will probably furnish the politi-
cal sensation Of the week In this State
Judge Lawson is.one OF the ablest mem.
bers Of the Georgia delegation and
brought himself to She front during tho
last Congress by speech In favor OF the
repeal OF the ten per cent. tax on State
banks.
In his interview, Judge Lawson de-
clares In favor OF btmetallism SET forth
by the last Democratic platform, but
asserts that 1.-The free coinage Of silver
at the ratio Of Ii to by our government
alone would in q short time result in
silver mono-metsllism-th Ia we
would have no coin money in circula-
ton but silver, and no paper money ex-
cept paper redeemable in silver. II we
cannot have bimetallism in accordance
with our national platform prefer the
single gold standard to the single silver
standard" The ideal monetary system,
he thinks, would be where there was
free coinage Of both metals withour
either being legal tender, the people
being privileged to take their choice.
Judge Lawson says: 1.-The South is
not yet in condition to profit by the
silver standard. We are not a manu-.
featuring people. A prohibitory tariff
and everything that is equivalent to it
in It's operations is detrimental to our
prosperity. But the silver standard
would inevitably operate precisely as q
prohibitory tariff. The value of our
silver coins would sooner or later de-
cline to their bullion value. The price
OF foreign goods would be so high, when
valued in our ailver currency that
wealthy people only could afford to buy
and use them.n
