VICTORY FOR GEORGIA
In Fight Against Duclctown, Tennessee,
Copper Company-High Court Rem
ders Decision in Noted Case.


Georgia has won it's case against
the Tennessee Copper company and
the Ducktown Sulphur, Copper and
Iron company in the United States
supreme court
Dispatches from Washington Mon
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
If Georgia pressed the case against
the copper manufacturers an inJunc-
ton would be issued against the de-
PENDANT. For over three years Attor-
ney General John G, Hart assisted
by Attorney Lyon Johnson, who has
been associated with him in all the
intricate litigation has fought the
case f9r the state Of Georgia.
The big copper roasting plants are
at Isabella anu 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 APP
peared
iii 1903 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, and
the legislature of that year was pc
tuoned to afford relief.
A legislative committee was ap,
pointed to investigate. and if dam
ages We're found as set forth the gov
ernor was authorized to institute pro
ceediugs to abate a nuisance. The re-
port Of the committee more than sus-
tanned the allegations in the petition,
and an appeal was made to the Ten
negsee governor to estop the nuisance.
On refusal legal proceedings were
instituted. at that time the ore was
roasted in the open and on the
promise to abandan this method, legal
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 has
been fought in the courts until now
Georgia wins finally, being given pow
er to completely suppress the nui-
sance.
Nearly 100 miles of northern Geor
gia has been almost completely de-
nuded Of vegetation, ana many farm
ems nave had to practically abandon
farming This decision is expected to
have farreaching effect as a prece-
dent. rs other cases have awaited the
outcome of the Georgia litigation.
Coming to the proof in the case,
Justice Holmes said:
without any attempt to so into
details. immaterial to the suit, it is
proper to add that we are satisfied
by a preponderance Of evidence that
the sulDbu1ous fumes caused and
threatened damage on so considera

table life. il not to human health,

q case within the requirement of the
case Of Missouri VS.. Illinois. If the
state adheres to its determination,
there is no alternative to issuing an
iniuuctiOn after allowing a reasOna-
bic time to the defendant to complete

ing, and The efforts that they are max
ing to stop the fumes. The plaintiff
may submit form Of decree on the
converting Of this court in October

 with capacity for an additional 100 tons is now underway and when this
 work Is finished shipments will be
 raised to the new bin capacity of 200
 tons. The latest piece of new devel- opment which has been started at the
 property is a two and a half com partment shaft southeast of the main
 shaft about 2000 feet. This shaft Is
 on the Lave. It will sink to POO or
 300 feet. from which drifting and

 ground for expectation that they will | make ore bodies for this property as
 showings of the same character have

 In the main shaft the station for the pumps on the 8c0 level will be fin-

 When asked if he had any state ment to make to the court, Hogs said:
 My name is Chaies G. Hogge. l was born in Scotland in 1884, and came of a good family. When I9 years old I came to the Unit ed States. arriving here :n 1863, during the civil ws-.

 While doing engineer work at Vera. Mexico, I lost ;ae sight of one eye, and was rencered parti- ally deaf through a prolonged at tack of fever. This unfitted me for work, and while in financial distress Itpersuaded a preacher to indorse for me a bogus check, on which I secured $500.
 I found this method of raising money SC easy that I began to study forgery as a business, and have followed it successfully for fifteen years. I formed Ihe habit of gambling with my easy money and had become addicted to the curse. It required much money and I had secured it through forgery on banks, usually wor:i:ng preach CTS for it's production. I have served three terms in penitentiar- ies. one each in Tennessee, New Mexico and Utah.
 It is impossible for me to tell the amount of my rorgerIes, but they probably amount to $75O- 900. Of this amount have $53- 900 on deposit in Kansas and Ne braska banks. l am an old man now, and my race is about run, and it makes but little difference what the future has in store for me.
