Raleigh, n. c., December 13.-The SUI

portant case of the North Carolina Cor
poration Commission against the At
lantic Coast Line railroad involving the
power Of the commission to require this
railway to mak connection with the
Southern Railway at Selma by putting
On an extra train. The Superior court
decided against tbs commission. The
Supreme court reverses this and holds
that the commission has full power to
compel railways, as public highways
to make connection with other lines.
even if an extra train has to be put on
tn do this.
Another important decision is tha

CLYATT VS.. UNITED STATES
Important Case Before the Supreme
Court in Which the Question OF
PeOnage is Brought Up.

Washington, December 13.-Argu-
ment was begun today in the Supreme
court of the United States in the case
of Samuel M. Clyatt VS.. the United
States, in which the court is called
upon to deal with the question of
peonage. Clyatt is a resident OF
Georgia. who in 1902 was convicted
in the Federal courts of thai state
and sentenced to four years imprison-
ment at hard labor on the charge of
having held two men il peonage on
account of debt. in violation Of Sec
ton $500 of the revised statutes.
Attorney William c.. Brantley mace
the first presentation of the cases He
appeared for Clyatt, and claimed thar
the record failed to establish the fact
that the men were held in unlawful
servitude, the apprehension being in
the nature of an arrest. Senator "a
con also appears in the ase for ely
att. while Attorney General Moody
Will represent the government
The attorney general has filed a
brief in which he says, speaking OF
the importance of the case:
Immediately upon the continual
ton Of this case to the Supreme court
several of the district judges in the
fifth circuit, in which numerous pros
ecutions for violations OF this statute
were pending, refused to try any OF
the cases, and postponed the same to
to await the decision of the court III
his case 1t is therefore quite evil
dent that the executive arm of the
law so far at least as the enforcement
of his statute is concerned. is practi-
cally paralyzed. Notwithstanding the
fact hat several United States courts
have held this law to be constitutional
the government is powerless to com
pei its enforcement or observance,
even in the most typicaI n fragrant
cases.
We think we may ~truthfully say
that upon n decision Of this case
hangs the liberty of thousands OF per-
sons. mostly colored. it is true. who
are now being held in a condition Of
involuntary suu.ude. in many cases,
worse than slavery itself. by the un-
lawful acts of individuals. not only in
violation Of the thirteenth amend
ment to the constitution. but in v1o-
lation of the law which We have here
under consideration"

The minor poets of the day are wont 10 com
plain that their verses do not sell. At this
season OF the year it would be perhaps un-
gracious to consider too curiously just why their
little books should be neglected. But one expla-
nation OF the situation may legitimately be Of
tered; 1t lies In the fact that the "old masters
are still, in spite of all dismal representations
very much to the fore. We are sharply remind
ed OF TINS by the number of poetical volumes

them addressed, with confidence which we be-
lleVe is deserved, to thoroughly serious public
The first book We take up in the group our
