Copper Case Is Argued.

The United States supreme court today listened to the arguments of the attor- neys in the case of the state of Georgia vs. the Tennessee copper interests whice the state asks that the company be en. joined from smelling copper ore in the manner which at present is alleged to be destructive of the surrounding country
 The attorneys for the state declare the company q nuisance and that 1t has seri. ously effected the prosperity of five north- ern Georgia counties. whose chief occupa- tions and industries were farming pur- suits and lumberings.
 Tine fumes are alleged to affect the country within radius of fifty miles. The destruction arises through the gen eration of sulphur dioxid and poisonous gases which have laid waste crops orch ards, vegetables, forests, thus converting the region into barren waste.

 Captain Hobson, as soon as he could be extricated from the crowd, was escorted to a carriage, which was beautifully decorated with flags and garlands of roses and drawn by four horses. Mir Inge and Mir. Knight rode in this vehicle with Cap tain Hobson, and the body guard, com posed of a hundred or more boys with lighted torches surrounded the carriage and escorted them to- Magnolia Grove Captain Hobson's home number of carriages and transparencies followed one of which bore on it's side flight of steps, the bottom one having inscribed on it.

 The two top steps were left vacant, but the imagination of the crowd easily filled these in with United States senator and then President
 In a beautiful address at Magnolia Grove, Thomas E. Knight welcomed Cap tain Hobson in behalf of the town and county When Captain Hobson rose to re- ply it was some minutes before he could be heard, so deafening was the applause.
 He made splendid speech, thanking his friends for their support and advising that all bitterness be laid aside now that vic tory was won. He said he would take tho oath of office unhafnpered by a prom ise to any man, and he begged for the confidence of his opponents. for he would represent them as conscientiously as he would those who had supported him. He spoke of the great pride he took in the honor which had come to him, and espe- cially the part his home people had played in it.
 The only thing that marred his pleasure was the fact that his father and mother could not be there, but there was a new mistress of the old home and one who had contributed no little to his present success.
 Again thanking his friends, he stood aside, and immediately the crowd surged up, eager to shake hands with him.
 Reports received in Birmingham last night from the various counties of the sixth district indicate that Captain Hob sons majority over Colonel Bankhead will be about 800. Complete returns are not in, and it will probably be several days before the final result can be tabulated.

Washington. April Especial )-Gener- al regret is expressed in Washington over the defeat for renomination of Represen- tative Ban1head of Alabama at the hands of Capt Richmond Pearson Hobson. Col onel Bankhead when he completes his present term in the House will have served twenty years
 While he has never taken d prominent part in general legislation he has devoted practically all of his time to the interests Of the state of Alabama and it is only justice to him to say that he has done more towards securing appropriations for river improvements and public buildings in Alabama than any other agency.
