The biz railrolds oi the country

were circulated yesterday. Several
conferences on tie subject have
been held recently. This action is
the direct result of the many pro-
secutions undertaken BY the fe leral
government against railroads and
railroad officials for infringement OF
the anti-rebatc clluses in th- feder-
al statutes. An officer ef one OF

while denying that his own road
broke the law, said that there wa
not the slightest doubt that the
giving of rebate, would come 10 ar

LAWYERS OF NOTE

Three eminent members of the 10.

Judge George Hillyer and Judge w.
X. Hammond, each of whom has serv-

Judge Roam to act as counsel for the
negro.
The code of Georgia provides that
the court shall appoint attorneys to
defend all accused persons, unable by
reason of poverty to employ lawyers.
The appointment of more than one
attorney is unusual however, and

tinguished lawyers for that Office in
