GEORGIA WINS VICTORY.
Big Copper Plants at DucktoWn, Tenn-
Declared to Be NuisanceS in De-
cision by U. S. Supreme Court.

Georgia has won its case against
the Tennessee Copper company and
the Ducktown Sulphur, Copper and
iron company in the United States
supreme court.
Dispatches from Washington Men
day morning announced a decision IN
the famous litigation, which has been
in the courts since 1903.
The opinion Was handed down by
Justice Peckham, who declared that
ii Georgia pressed the case against
the copper manufacturers all inJurc-
ton would be issued against the de-
fendant. For over three years AttcE-
ney General John {. Hart, assisted
by Attorney Ligon Johnson, who mas
been associated with him in all the
intricate litigation, has fought the
case for the state OF Georgia.
The big copper roasting plants are
at Isabella and Ducktown, Tenn, just
across the line from Georgia. They
began smelling in 1901 and by 1902
local evidences of destruction to veg
citation from the sulphur fumes ap-
peared.
In 1908 the area Of damage had
spread across the Tennessee line and
had appeared in the upper tier OF
Georgia counties. Complaints began
coming to the state authorities, ana
the legislature of that year was pc
titioned to afford relief.
legislative committee was ap'
pointed to Investigate, and II dam
ages were found as set forth the gov
ernor was authorized 10 institute pro-
ceedings to abate nuisance. Tie re-
mort of the committee more than suS-
tained the allegations in the petition,
and an appeal was made to the Ter
nessee governor TO estop the nuisance.
On refusal, legal proceedings were
instituted At that time the ore vas
roasted in the open and on tne
nrom;se to abandan this method, lega!
action was dismissed.
The abatement of the trouble was
not permanent, however, and further
complaints came from a wider area OF
destruction. Since then the case mas
hsen fought in the courts until now
Georgia wins finally, being given pow
er to completely suppress the null
sance.
Nearly 100 miles of northern Geor-
sia has been almost completely oe-
nuded of vegetation, and many farm
ers have had to practically abandon
farming. This decision is expected TO
have far-reachlng effect as Il prece-
dent, as other cases have awaited the
outcome of the Georgia litigation.
Coming to the proof in the case,
Justice Holmes said:
without any attempt to go into
details, immaterial to the suit, 1t is
proper to add that we are satlahed
by a preponderance of evidence that
the sulphurous fumes caused and
threatened damage on so consldera-
Bile a scale to the forest and Vege-
table life, if not to human health,
within the plaintiffs state as to make
a case within the requirement OF the
case of Missouri VS.. Illinois. II the
state adheres to its determination,
there is no alternative to issuing an
Injunction after allowing a reasona-
Bile time to the defendant to complete
the structures that they are now build
ing and the efforts that they are max
ing to stop the fumes. The plalntlil
may submit a form of decree on the
convening of this court in October,

The Big Four IL having considerable
trouble just now in the handling Of
freight trains, owing to the fact that
many OF the most experienced train
men are quitting the employ of the
company in order to accept more Ia.
crative jobs on other railroads
A railroad man when approached
lby Beacon reporter for an inter
view, said that the Big Four pays only
S220 per 100 miles run by brakemen
on freight trains, while the Vandalla
pays $500 and the e. e Il. |. s2.47.
and the Wabash still more. The G..
& E. l. pays locomotive fireman
1886 per 100 miles, While the Big Four
pays only s24 for same distance ana
thel after takes a longer time to make
the run. The result II that not al
single freight train on the Big Four
has large enough crew TO take the
trains through ON usual time, aaii
this means oyerwork and longer
hours. True, they receive pay at the
same rate per hour for over time, |
hut what the men want is an oppor |
tnnity to run to their destination oc-
casionally in less than ten hours ia !
order to make up for the time over

fact Of the great mortality among |

thing that reduces the count OF train
