Pine Knot" is not properly novel. Its plot
is pitifully weak, the thread Of narrative is
broken and uneven, its love story dull and fat
But it has several excellent characterizations of
Southern rustics and some glimpses of Ken
lucky life before the Civil War which suggest
that its author might find a more congeniaI and
profitable field in brief sketches of actual hap
penings and real people.

(By Telegraph to virginian- Pilot.)
Macon, Ga. Jan. 26.-The Injunction
suit to prevent the consolidation of the
Georgia and Alabama and the Florida
Central and Penlnsular railroads Is still
on In the United States Court here.
Arguments will be concluded to-mor-
row. The feature OF to-day's argument
was the admission OF counsel for the
Georgia and Alabama that without con-
solidation with some road the Georgia
and Alabama would be obliged to per
ish. as 1t was so bottled up or cut or
that 1t could not afford to compete with
the great railroads that surrounded II.
But" said the attorney. eve DO not
contemplate consolidation in the man
ner set out in the complainanps bill
We will do so by law If we do SO Mt
ALL and the law under which we opcr-
ate provides that we shall give the
stockholders. public notice of our inten-
ton to take any action of this kind.
The bill here simply seeks to enjoin lis
from doing something that the petit
toner alleges he is afraid we might
do"
The counsel for Dady and Rider,
however. commended that the consolida-
ton had already been planned, and that
-I2resident-L-=S kaltnnANill nas-ass=tr;,a-
tee for the voting trust, was about to
abuse the power that had been vested
In him. and by merging with the other
roads, shoulder on complainants a
burden OF debt or liability that would
result from such deal.
Colonel Henderson. general counsel
for the Florida Central and Peninsulnr.
said that his road contemplated con-
solidating with the Seaboard Air Line.
but that If anybody thought II meant
the throttling of competition an inves-
tigation should be made of the fight
for business that is constantly bein4
waged by freight agents.
He said that his road was practically
dead until 1t entered Savannah. and
from there found an outlet TO the North
and East, because of the combination
IN traffic arrangements made by other
roads He said that his road was alb
solutely unable to combat the arrange
ments that had been made, and there
fore 1t was obliged to make combina-
tons with other lines in order to save
its life.
Two more arguments will be made
Tomorrow when the court will be ready
to prepare his opinion. AS Judge Speer
In the beginning announced that he was
determined to give as speedy n hear
ing as possible so rs not to injure any
body's rights by delay, 1t Is thought
he will probably hand down his opin-
ion at once. although he has great
many authorities to look up.

THE SOUTH'S INTERESTS.
The South is peculiarl, interested In
our Asiatic markets. From The Orient
comes continually increasing demand
for raw and manufactured cotton The
outlet there for our surplus products
seems almost limitless. In China day
the most popular cotton products come
from Southern mills. Southern manu-
facturers have not yet reached more
than one thirtieth of the population of
China. 1t is not unreasonable to say
that when the entire field is covered 1t
Will more than require double the capa-
city OF our mills to supply their de-
| mand. This market presents the as
tonishing condition of demanding both
raw and manufactured cotton from the
same section. tits of inestimable import
ance to the entire South that this trade
| should be developed, held and protect
ed. With millions of capital invested
in Southern factories dependent as they
are upon the markets of the Orient,
| the representative from the South who
opposes commercial expansion with all
its results and responsibilities is blind

and welded to mere political senti-
ment.
