of Appeals in the Northern Securities
case, Major John Shelton Williams,
president of the Seaboard Air Line sys-
TEN, says he regards as one of the
greatest blessings and the brightest
promises for railroad interests and
general business that the country could
have. In an interview to-day, when
asked his opinion of the decision, Mr..
Williams said:
Il am satisfied that when they come
to study the matter carefully railroad
men and thinking men of all classes.
not only In the South. but in the coun-
try generally. except those whose am
bilious schemes are directly hindered,
will be united in the feeling that the
decision is sound law. good sense and

From legal standpoint it accords
with the opinions of many of the
ablest lawyers of the country and IL
seems to be fortified with authorities
and reasoning too strong to be shaken,
have no fear that the Supreme Court
will reverse or seriously modify IL,

why the change should be made. Many
members OF state boards had protested
against the changes. some even threat

After stating that he Is aware that
