Sam Montgomerys Democratic

ago that he could not get justice in
this county owing to the course Of
the West Virginian toward him, and
they threatened to ask for change
of venue. This was merely blum on
their part, It would seem, as they
have so much confidence in Marion
county jurors that they have sued
the West Virginian second time for
damages or libel and for the same
amount as before-s25,0 900. Now,
why didn't they sue for $4,000 in the
first place? 1t would have been Just

never had suit in which the sum OF

Against Rate Reduction.

Atlanta, Ga.-The recent proposition
of J.. Pope Brown, Chairman of the
Georgia Railroad Commission, to re-
iuce the passenger rate in Georgia
from three to two cents per mile was
protested against By the Brotherhood
Of Locomotive Engineers, the Order OF
Railway Conductors. and unions of the
blacksmiths, machinists and telegraph
ers, boilermakers, railway train men,
carpenters and joiners, clerks and car
men. These organizations employed an
attorney especially to represent them,
who urged that such a reduction would
work against the prosperity of the
State and lead to q reduction in the
number of railroad employees as well
as of their wages. The Travellers Pro-
tective Association also protested that
4 reduction as proposed would result i'll
fewer trains and poorer service.

Elton Dressing Jacket.

No garment is more in demand for

one that would be charming made OF

collar is eminently becoming and gives
the broad shoulders that are so desira-
BILE this season, and the slightly open
neck means comfort and health in one,
also an opportunity to develop the
throat, which is so much to be de-

and gathered into bands to which the
shaped frills are attached.

liked Of the season, and is in every
way attractive, giving no sense of a
