Combine to Prevent Competition.


To accomplish this end it has been
decided to divide the properties among
the interested lotteries Of railroad mag
mates, each group giving to the other
representation in its directorates, and
to admit to the combination, as a neu-
trail party, who will be expected to lit
erall y enforce the terms Of the agree
ment, the Rockefel Her Rogers Standard
Oil group of fnanciers.
The feature of the combination which
will affect the public in the territory
consolidation is carefully perfected
understanding that the roads will re-
frain from competitions; that there will
be no cutting Of rates; that there will
be no granting Of rebates, and that none
of the roads involved will project or
build new lines into the territory
reached by the others.

Writ of Prohibition-Green Bay Case.

This case, referred to in our last
issue. was heard by the Hon. George
J. Hundley on the LIST day OF his term.
The facts disclosed were that the citi-
zens at Green Bay had complained to
the Corporation Commission at Rich
mond of the condition Of the depot,
asking the Commission also to require
the Southern Railway Company to
stop the day train at that point. The
Commission summoned Hon. }. j..
owen. II. &. ShelbOume, and &. ,.
Wing before it to testify, whereupon
the Corporation Commission required
the Company to erect a new depot,
and the Company cOnsenting to stop
IFS dav trains provided it should not
be required to keep its depot open for
the night trains. As this gave Green
Bay all the trains, four each way daily,
the Green Bay people were naturally
delighted with the results. After
ward. however, complaint was made
before Justice Brown and warrants
were issued imposing a fine OF $40 for
each oilense for not keeping the de-
pot open and selling tickets for the
night trains. As the Company had
fulfilled its agreement the people at
Green Bay, especially the parties who
were before the Commission, were
DESTROYS Of keeping theirs; fearing also
they would lose the night trains al
together though they were rarely used.
Judge Hundley granted the writ,
holding that the Justice of the Peace
had no jurisdiction in the matter OF
enforcing the law as to the railroad
schedules and regulations, and that
the Corporation Commission has ex-
elusive Jurisdiction in such matters.
Mr.. G. :. Wing and Mr.. W. IL. An
derson represented the Railway Com
pany. Mr.. Wing, it would seem from
the above, also represented the people
of Green Bay.
Mr. Mitchell represented himself
and Justice Brown.

Republicans Speak

Despite the broad cast advertising
which had been done by County Chair
man Harris, the Republicans could
muster but few to hear their speakers
last Monday.
The courthouse was turned over to
them by his Honor, Judge Hundley.
There were but few over one hundred
persons-whites, blacks and females
present Mr.. J. G. Blair, OF Wythe-
vile, and Mr.. w. c. franklin, of APP
pomattox, made addresses.
Mr.. Blair regretted at the outset the
smallness of the gathering and his dis
appointment He declared that the pc
licies and principles Of the Republi-
can party were best for the people of
Virginia and stated that he foresaw
great political revolution in the State.
He discussed the recent Democratic pri-
mary, and inveighed against the new
Constitution. He stated that the ne
gro was no longer a factor in politics
in the State, but failed to say to whom
the credit belonged. The only APP
plause which came from the white peo-
pie present was when Mr.. Courtney
Franklin paid tribute to Mr.. Joseph
d. Eggleston, Democratic candidate
for Superintendent Of Public lnstruc-
ton.
