AGAINST MERGER. a three
DAYS session in Louisville the Ken
lucky State Railroad Commission CON-
pleted and forwarded to the Interstate
Commerce Commission, at Washington,
formal complaint against the alleged
consolidation Of the Louisville and
Nashville, Atlantic Coast Line, South
ern Railway, Monon and Cincinnati,
New Orleans and Texas Pacific iail-
roads. The complaint sets forth that In
the alleged consolidation of the south
ern lines all competition is destroyed
and that practically one man controls
the fixing of freight aud passenger rates
on all the lines extending from the
Ohio river to the Gulf of Mexico and
from the Atlantic to the Mississippi.
1t further recites that the commerce OF
10 States is thus controlled by these
carriers.

A VALUABLE Book. The Freder-
icksburg Library has received through
Mr.. A. Z. Rowe, from Hon. Frank
Hume, of Alexandria county, a very
valuable book, "Hume Manuscripts, "
being a copy of the report of the British
Commission on the contents of the
charter chest of Wedderburn Castle.
The book is of especial interest to Fred
ericksburg, as George Home, or Hume,
settled in Spottsylvania county, married
Elizabeth Proctor, daughter of George
Proctor, in 1927, and being a surveyor,
was requested by the vestry to lay off
the ground for ST. Georges Church.
His surveying extended to the counties
of Frederick and Augusta, and he
worked before and with Washington,
being many years his senior. Such
gifts to the Fredericksburg Library are
greatly appreciated, as anything of gen.
ealogical or historic interest is very
valuable in these days of research along
these lines. The Library committee is
greatly indebted to Mr.. Hume for his
courteous rememberance.- Fredericks-
burg Lance.
