Montgomery. Ala. Aug. 9.-Gov. Conner
says Every time railroad sells tick
ct for more than two and one-half cents

TIL state is willing to meet the railroads
with a view TO adjustment on terms of
broad equity. This the people OF Alabama
want, and this they are entitled to and
shall have. The states of Virginia, West
Virginia and Arkansas have enacted a
two-eent passenger rate, and the state Of
North Carolina two and a quarter cent
rate, and the state of Alabama, whose
new rate Is two and a half cents, should
have II granted by the roads without ques-
ton.
I'm regard to the freight schedule. we
are simply asking for the same classifi-
OF the articles given in Georgia. Virginia
and Carolina, and we are opposed to the
railroads changing the classification and
