The next step has been taken in the
matter of the fight between the Sea-

ago., and caused the Seaboard Air Line
to establish a hne Of it's own drays for

The other two leading lines have now
made their move and they seem to have

have informed their customers that
they, too, will call for and deliver
freight free Of charge, but they do not
intend to use their own drayS. They

as Of right to do, yet I raise my voice
in protest against their erecting any
monument and laid the matter before

protesting against the erection Of the
monument and aid the matter before

the proposed memorial.
