Charles Everitt Patterson.

Mr.. Charles Everitt Patterson, son Of
James G. and Elizabeth Patterson died
at ms home on South River, near Harris
ton, Va, on May 80, 1908.
He was born at the old homestead June
IA, 1860, and lived his whole life upon the
same farm. He was married to Miss Fannie
Eskew, of Orange county, Va. in 1890, who
with two sons and two daughters survive
him. For many years he was conscien-
tious and devoted member of Mt Horeb
church.
To appreciate Evertt, one had to know
him in his home life. Quiet, unassuming,
gentle, kind and thoughtful, he was ever
thinking of his wife and children, and
nothing was too great a sacrifice for him
If his dear ones wanted it. He was the
prop of the home upon which both wife
and children ever leaned. His home bear
ing was such that the blessed sunshine of
teriZed his presence.
He is gone, but not forgotten, and to
MN who doeth all things we'll and is able
we commit his widow and children.

RATELAW
rs DECLARED UNCONsTTTUTTONAL
IN PENNSYLVANIA.
The, Reduced Hate Law Was Enacted
by the Last Legislature, Pass
ting Both Houses Almost
Unanimously. 81

Philadelphia, Jan. 20.-The two cent
rate law. now in force in Pennsylvania
was today declared unconstitutional by
the State Supreme Court which handed
down an opinion Affirming the opinions
of the Common Pleas Court Of Phila-
delphia, rendered last September.
The vote of the Court was four to
three, the dissenting opinion being
handed down by Justice Mestrezat
The two cent fare law was exacted
by the last Legislature. the bill pass
ing both Houses by practically Nunan-
imous vote. The railroads fought the
bill vigorously and after it became
law. the Pennsylvania Railroad tnsti-
tuted suit in the Common Pleas Court
Of Philadelphia restraining the Coun-
ty of Philadelphia from enforcing the
law. The railroad contended that the
law was unconstitutional in that II was
unreasonable and confiscatOry, and the
court in a decision sustained the COM
pany's contention. The County of
Philadelphia then took the case to the
State Supreme Court.
The majority opinion in the case was
written by Chief Justice Mitchell, 1t
declares that the real question In the
case Is whether the new rate law
stitution that the legislative power to
alter charters shall be exercised only
in such manner that no injustice shall
be done to the corporators. Continuing
IL says.
THE court below after receiving
much evidence and giving it most
painstaking and elaborate cOnsidera-
ton. found that the act does injustice
to the corporators in that il reduces
the returns from the property to such
an extent as to render 1t unremunera-
tive"
In conclusion the decision says:
'Srhe corporation is entitled to make
a fair profit on every branch of it's
business subject to the limitation that
its corporal duties must be performed
even though at a loss.
what Is a fair profit Is a highly
complicated and difficult question. The
court below availed themselves of all
the best evidence that was offered or
sh own to he attainable. Considered II
with exemplary patience and care, and
their conclusion that the enforcement
Of the act OF 1907 against the complain
ant would do injustice to the corpora
tors is beyond just criticism"
II the records OF the case show that
any Federal question is involved. the
city of Philadelphia can appeal to the
United States Supreme Court 1t is not
likely, however, that an appeal will be
taken and today's decision may, there
fore. be regarded as final

improvements.

washington, Jan. 20.-(Special)-
During the discussion today in the
House on a bill to build a new immi
grafton station at Philadelphia. Rep
resentative Underwood of Alabama
tried to draw from Representative Bar
thoIdt, chairman of the Public Build
ings Committee. a statement as to
whether a general bill for additional
Government structures would be re-
ported this session. Dutch Dick" as
members generally call the st. Louis
Congressman, evaded an answer.
However, it is pretty weIl-known in
legislative circles that the House Re-
pub lican managers have notified Mr..
Bartholdt and others on the commit
tee that they must not prepare a bill,
because the revenues are falling or so
heavily that the treasury funds are
running low, and 1t will be had enough
any way for the Grand Old Party
without piling up new appropriations
for postoffice buildings.
1t certainly looks as II all the biila
for buildings introduced in this Con-
gress by Alabama members will be pig

tee.
Mr.. Burnett, Alabama, during the de-
bate, called attention to the fact that

taking back with them large sums of
American money. which should have
gone to American workmen.
The negro question was discussed
by Mr.. Byrd, Mississippi. who said that
the salvation of the South depended
upon the negro passing out of that
section, and allowing the South to be
cultivated by the white people.
where will you get the white peo-
pleT' inquired Mr.. Cochran.
"Oh," replied Mr.. Byrd. they will
come fiock.ng from the North and all
over the country"
II it was desired to impoverish and
bankrupt the people of the South, he
declared, "Just bring in a cheap class
of labor and put them in competition
with Dagoes. who can live almost on
rats and snakes"
Mr.. Byrd made a bitter attack on
Italian immigrants generally. He did
not object, he said, to good stock like
the Irish and Germans coming to these
shores. He provoked laughter when
he remarked that when an freshman
arrived in the United States the first
thing he did was to take drink and
then inside of a year he was running
the Government.
Mr. Favrot. Louisiana, took issue
with Mr.. Byrd on some of his state
ments as to the Italians, and said that
In Louisiana they had proven desirable
citizens. The bill was then passed and
the House adjourned.

FRANKLIN NOT LYNcHED.
Conductor Pearce of Montgomery Saw
Negro Alive.

Negro Alive.
Conductor Lovic Pearce, of Mont
gomery, was in Dothan Sunday night
when mob took Cleveland Franklin,
the negro who shot e. A. Faux when
discovered making an attempt to rob
the money drawer of the Cotton OIL
Company, from the Sheriff and at
tempted to lynch him. According to
the story told by Conductor Pearce
the mob was unsuccessful. 1t was so
hard pressed by the law abiding citi-
Gems Of Dothan, who reinforced the
police and Sherifr's forces. that they
barely had time to tie the negro up to
a tree and fire fusilade OF shots at
him.
Mr.. Pearce's recoIlections are that
only two of the shots took effect, and
that neither of these were serious. Ac-
cording to a story told by the negro.
one Of these wounds was inflicted while
he was being pursued by the Sheriff's
force and the other one was received
at the hands of the mob.
Mr.. Pearce says that there was much
excitement at Dothan, but that there
were plenty of citizens who wanted to
see the law take its course. and that
these Immediately went to the assist
ance of the Sheriff From conversa-
lions he heard in Dothan. Mr.. Pearce
believes that had the mob shown any
resistance there would have been trou-
BILE with those who were attempting
to uphold the law.
