Norton. Va, Sept. 24.-Some
weeks since il was currently re-
ported that the Southern system
which was somewhat beleated
in reahing this coal field, and
which made a strenuous effort
to do 50 after being awakened
10 the fact that the Carolina,
Clichield and Ohio and other
trunk lines were about to occu-
py the field, after reaching Nor
ton attempted 20 get control of
the Clinch Valley division Of
the Norfolk & Western but fail
ed TO do so. Now a survey is
being IN a d e parallel 70 the
Clinch Valley for a new line
supposed TO be by the Southern.
This is very likely true, as the
Southern is anxions to reach
Toms Greek operations, which
are its best feeders. The coal
and coke, from Toms Creek is
now hauled by the Virginia &
Southwestern cars over the Nor
folk q Western and Louisville
and Nashville to Appalaohia,
but in a short time viii come
only over the Norfolk & West
ern and connect at Norton with
Interstate, its own road. There
is little doubt but that the South
ern will build east as far as
| Toms creek at the earliest day
possible.

A Cure For rheumatism.

Each recurring attack of rheu-
matism makes the disease harder to
control. but the fact that it is not in
itself dangerous causes people to
neglect it, awaiting Il change or a
settled condition of the weather for
relief. 1t is only after the disease
has become so serious as to interfere
with business that the sufferer will
seek more than temporary relief.
Chamberlain's Lininent is a remedy
for rheumatism which any one can
apply. 1t not only gives prompt re-
lief from pain. but in large majority
OF cases it brings about permanent
results. The first application will
surprise and delight you as immedi-
ate relief is almost sure to follow.

TAX COLLECTION
SUIT FOLLOWS HARRlMAN'S VISIT
TO PORTLAND LAST
WEEK.

PORTLAND, Sept. 9.-The o. r. &
n. Co., VII today bring suit to restrain
Sheriff Stevens from collecting $229,000
in taxes ard $4,000 additional in PEN
alties and INTEREST on the $16,SOO.000
surplus OF the company This is the tax
that the cailroad so fiercely fought and
contested before the county board OF
| equalization last fall. The non-pay-
ment will mean a long fight in the
courts and the county will be $250,00O
short in the funds it expected to "a
ceive this year.
Whether the visit of E. H. Hartman
to Portland had anything to do with
the starting of the suit is not an
nounced, out the filing of the case SO
soon after his visit is by some con-
sidered significant All summer long
the matter has been held up, the tax
collection department Of the sheriff s
! office being told that the delay was
caused because the matter was referred
to the higher officers in the east. for
action.
Recently Sheriff Stevens has several
times called on the company to learn
as to whether it intended to pay the
tax, notifying the local officers that he
would take steps to collect it if pay
ment were much longer delayed. To
prevent any seizures of railroad prop
| erty by the sheriff and to bring the dis
puted question to issue, Attorney A. G.
Spencer for the railroad this morning
appeared in court to arrange for an in
junction The complaint will be filed
tomorrow.
In the complaint the company Will
render $4,000 in payment of taxes on
! $780, 900. which the company comedies
it should be taxed. But it objects to
the $229,00O item, claiming that tn"
surplus had been turned over to the
Union Pacific, expended in building
new lines, and is not taxable in this
state County Assessor Sigler held
that the notes, bills and accounts were
asseable, and his position was sus-
tanned by the county equaliZers.
Attorney Spencer explained that the
] from the board Of equalization, as pro-
vided by act of the legislature in such
| cases, is that the railroad contends
| that the act is unconstitutional and
the railroad evidently is determined not
! to attach enough dignity to the law to
| even appeal from a decision under it.
The action to be started tomorrow is
| therefore an original suit, proceeding
On the contention that all of the pre-
| ceedings before the county board of
! equalization were illegal
