professorn ar likgiltig och t%andspridd
och ! hog grad likgiltig gent emot frun-

skrankte sig derfor till sma grymtnin-

After tie passage of this penalty act
of 1897 The Southern Railroad leased
and operated certain :oads.
After leasing these roads much money
had been spent in improving them anu
giving tic public better and safer ser
vice But Notwithstanding this fact
nine suits were brought by individuals
against the Southern claiming that it
was liable for the one hundred dollar
day penalty for leasing and operating
these roads. The Southern took the
position that it was not liable Oh the
ground that the roads were neither par
allel or competing lines within this state
and that it was not acting in violation
OF the peralty act Of 1897. Five Of these
line suits have been disposed Of by trial,
or abandonment, and not one Of them
5as gone against the railroad, but the
counties were put to the trial expenses
all the same.

After the Merger Act Of 1902 had been

ten suits were brought against the

withstanding the merger act Of 1902,
which allowed the consolidation to be
made, some Of these suits were for the

General complaint was made to the

operating these leased roads and urging
him to take some action. The COM

able, upon the open seas. to bid DELI
ance 10 any power which should seek
to tread under foot this sacred principle
Of cur national life. We can call into
existence an army, by utilizing the
state militia, within sixty days, and
therefore, do not need a large standing
army. But to build and equip a navy
takes many years, and when an emer-
gency has arisen the great nation Wa1ch
has not a navy Is left stranded and at
the mercy Of any despot hand. Look Az
Japan. But for her navy Russia Would
now be master Of the Yellow Sea and
the little Japs shut up securely in their
island possessions; but, having strong
navy they have held Russia In check
and send their troops to the shores OF
the mainland, and there on equal footing
they contest, man for man, with the
great Russian government. Besides
this. If We do not have a strong nAvy
our commerce would be at the mercy OF
that most relentless and uncompromis-
ing Of all powers-the Russian govern
uent; our ships would be seized. our
trade blocked, our commerce would BE-
driven from the seas and your cotton
would remain on your farms unsold and

do by diplomacy it IS a part Of her ma
tienal life that she will to do by force. >
