A. & B. CAN NOW
ENTER LAGRANGE
THE SUPREME COURT DECIDES
ANOTHER OF THE CASES IN
WHICH THE ATLANTA & WEST
POINT is ACTING AS OBSTACLE.

Atlanta, February ESPECIALLY THE SUI
preme court has been hearing argument
for two days, Monday and Tuesday, in
the injunction case of the Atlanta and
West Point Railroad company, against
the Atlantic and Birmingham Railroad
company.
This is one of several cases growing
out of the efforts of the Atlantic and
Birmingham railroad to get into the city
of LAGRANGE, in Troup county, and the
evident determination on the part of
the Atlanta and West Point to place
every possible obstacle in the way of its
going there,
Two of these suits have already been
decided In favor of the Atlantic and Bir-
mingham. One of them involved a part
of a tract of land. ownership of which
was claimed by the Atlanta and West
Point This was decided in favor of the
Atlantic and Birmingham by the state
supreme court some months ago. An
other was suit by a private citizen
involving the right to use portion of
Morgan street in LaGrange. This was de-
cided in favor of the Atlantic and Bir-
mlngham by the United States circuit
court, but it is possible that an appeal
will be taken.
The present suit was brought by the
Atlanta and West Point to restrain the
Atlantic and Birmingham from using this
same portion of Morgan street in La
Grange. Judge Pendleton, in Fulton SUI
perior court, refused to grant an iniunc-
ton, nor would he allow a super
cedas pending an appeal to the supreme
court Under his decision the Atlantic
and Birmingham has the right to lay
its tracks on this street now, but it has
not taken advantage of 1t and will not
do so until the matter has been settled
by the supreme court. The argument was
concluded today and decision will prob
ably be handed down in the course of
the next few weeks
The Atlantic and Birmingham is repre-
scented by Rosser & Brandon and the
Atlanta and West Point by Dorsey. Brew
ster and Howell.

IS ILLINOIS CENTRAL
BEHIND NEW PROJECT?
Pearl River Valley Road Is to Come to
Alabama, Landing Somewhere
Near Columbus, Miss.

Jackson, Miss, February 6.-(specfal)--
Governor Vardaman has issued a procla-
nation authorizing the organization of the
Pearl River Valley Railroad company. the
ircrporators being Fred Herrick OF Mil
waukee, Wis, Roy Hogue, Arthur Hogue
of Biloxi, Miss. and w. ID. Harrington Of
Fulton, Ala. The route mentioned is up
the valley of the Pearl from jackson and
across to the Alabama line at some point
In the vicinity of Columbus. 1t Is hoped
say the incorporators to complete the
line in three years.
1t is generally believed here that the
Illinois Central railroad is the power be-
hind the throne, and if that be true, there
does not seem to be any reason the line
will not be built in a few months. A
great many guesses have been INDUCED
in as to who is going to build a road
through this rich section OF the state, but
the chances are that the correct parties
have been located in the Illinois Central
which has long had Its eye on the country
through which 1t is to run.

SOUTHERNERS AGREE ON
MEASURE FOR QUARANTINE

Washington February 6.-The Mallory
national quarantine bill, In amended form,
was approved tonight by caucus of
thirty southern representatives and one
senator, the only negative votes being
cast by the six Texas representatives
AS amended Senator Mallory will rein
troduce the bill in the Senate and Rep
resentative John Sharp Williams will in
troduce 1t in the House and urge it's
passage as representing the views of the
southerners on the extension of federal
control of both maritime and interstate
quarantine.
The following amendment introduced
by Representative Taylor of Alabama,
was adopted:
"That in every port or ports where
quarantine stations and plants are al
ready established by state or local author
tiles 1t shall be the duty of the said sur
geon general, under the direction of the
secretary of the treasury, before selecting
and designating a quarantine station and
grounds, and advantageous places for
hospitals, to examine such substituted
stations and plants with a view of OBJ
tanning transfer of the site and plants

to the United States. and whenever the
proper authorities shall be ready to trans
fer the same or surrender the use there
of to the United States, the secretary OF
the treasury is authorized to obtain title
thereto, or possession, and use thereof
if in mis- opinion such purchase or use
will be necessary to the United states
for quarantine purposes"
Senator Foster of Louisiana presided
the only senator present. The following
states were represented; Texas Louisi-
ana, Alabama, Mississippi Tennessee,
North Carolina, Florida, Arkansas and
Georgia.
Although Mr. Williams, who headed the
committee named to frame satisfactory
bill explained at tonight's meeting that
the bill provided only for the particpa-
ton of the government as an outer guard
at ports. and did not contemplate nee
essarily the abolition of state maritime
quarantine, he added that he believed
federal quarantine would soon supercede
state maritime quarantine.
Representative Taylor of Alabama
shared Mr. williams views and said ne
desired that states should have am OPP
portunity to dispose of quarantine STA
lions to the government, and he then OF
fered the amendment adopted

grass are English rye grass and meadow
fescue, both of which average from one
third to one-half the price of orchard
grass seed. 1t is evident that this adul-
teration is very general as these samples
were obtained from twenty-four states.
"Forty-one samples of Kentucky blue
grass were found to be adulterated with
Canada bluegrass. While Canada blue
grass lis imported from Canada in
amounts varying from 100000 to 100000
pounds per year. it is used but sparingly
in the United States and it is evident
that the bulk of the seed imported Is
sold sooner or later as Kentucky blue
grass

according to the statement furnished him
by the department twenty-four firms
whose kentucky bluegrass seed were ex-
amined had used aduterants ranging any
